A mining boom has thus been underway for critical metals needed to manufacture such technologies. Al Barazi et al. (2017) note that already, global cobalt demand jumped from 65,000 tons in 2010 to more than 90,000 tons per year in 2015, and that the DRC was the largest producer, responsible for roughly 60% of global supply. More than 50% of the word''s cobalt

KINSHASA – From September 25-26, the United States and DRC governments, in partnership with SAFE''s Center for Critical Minerals Strategy, held a workshop in Kinshasa to support the DRC''s efforts to develop a value chain in the electric vehicle (EV) battery sector and connect the DRC Battery Council with U.S. and private sector expertise. The workshop promoted the
The development of the EV sector will increasingly depend on a global cobalt supply chain, with battery demand for EVs expected to grow nearly 40 times between 2020 and 2040, to achieve the Paris Agreement goals (IEA, 2021) nsequently, the overall demand for cobalt to produce these batteries will increase 21 times, fuelling a spike in cobalt mining (ibid).

Cobalt is a key raw material required for lithium-ion batteries. A lithium-ion battery for an average electric car contains 4.5–9 kg of cobalt. Tesla''s large electric cars need up to 15 kg of cobalt (Frankel, 2016). Cobalt mining is concentrated in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and the industry is highly contested.
Despite the challenges facing many African countries in 2022, the economy of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) was ranked the third fastest growing in Africa. It maintained the strong momentum of 2021 (6.2% GDP growth) and strengthened its resilience with a GDP growth rate of 8.6%, compared to 6.1% initially projected by the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
