Nickel current productionCanada is number 6 in the world. Some snippets in the link
below.
72% of usage was for making stainless steel.
Growth in usage would come from batteries
My sense is that there will be great growth but
a 100% increase in 10 years may be optimistic.
Do solid state batteries require nickel? I have no idea.
