RE:Nickel demand

Of the four critical minerals and metals in a lithium-ion battery, nickel has been slower to receive attention. However, in terms of increasing battery-grade capacity, it has a similar challenge to lithium’s, Moores explains.
“We believe nickel sulphate needs to go from 75 000 t/y to at least 350 000 t/y to 400 000 t/y by 2025. These increases in capacity are the same magnitude as lithium’s . . . three, four, even five times what we have today. It’s a profound shift for these minerals and nickel is just beginning its journey.”
