Nickel Prices Surge To Decade High Amid Soaring Battery Demand And Ukraine Crisis Nickel prices soared to the highest level in more than a decade amid skyrocketing demand for electric cars, as the Ukraine crisis added to supply concerns. The combination of nickel-cobalt aluminum is the chemistry behind electric car batteries. Nickel is one of the crucial metals by mass in lithium-ion battery cathodes. Rapidly increasing demand for electric cars has tightened supplies for the metal and pushed prices on the London Metal Exchange to levels not seen since 2011. Besides rising electric car popularity, the crisis over Ukraine has been another variable of why metal prices are soaring. Russia is the world''s third-largest nickel producer, and if conflict were to break out over Ukraine, global commodity flows would crumble. Western corporate media has spent the better half of the last two weeks hyping up "imminent" war propaganda as Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke with French President Emmanuel Macron for several hours on Sunday about holding a summit with the West to offer a diplomatic solution to the Ukraine crisis.

Critical Resources (ASX:CRR) has received assays confirming lithium and rare earth element enrichment at its Graphic Lake project in Canada.

Just days after Argentinian President Alberto Fernandez signed his country up for Chinas Belt and Road Initiative during a high-profile trip to Beijing this month, the spot price of lithium metal in the Chinese market reached 2 million yuan (US$315,000) per tonne for the first time more than four times what it cost a year ago.The two countries happen to be the worlds major players in the supply chain of the metal an essential material used in electric vehicle (EV) batteries. Argentina is

A vast deposit of one of the most highly coveted metals on Earth could potentially be located in the region around Mount Everest, according to Chinese scientists.The researchers discovery of lithium near the worlds tallest mountain comes as global demand for the metal has been skyrocketing, sending prices to record levels and further fuelling geopolitical competition for strategic resources.The ore deposit may contain as much as 1.0125 million tonnes of lithium oxide, according to the group

Limits To Green Energy Are Becoming Much Clearer Authored by Gail Tverberg via Our Finite World, We have been told that intermittent electricity from wind and solar, perhaps along with hydroelectric generation (hydro), can be the basis of a green economy. Things are increasingly not working out as planned, however. Natural gas or coal used for balancing the intermittent output of renewables is increasingly high-priced or not available. It is becoming clear that modelers who encouraged the view that a smooth transition to wind, solar, and hydro is possible have missed some important points. Lets look at some of the issues: [1] It is becoming clear that intermittent wind and solar cannot be counted on to provide adequate electricity supply when the electrical distribution system needs them. Early modelers did not expect that the variability of wind and solar would be a huge problem. They seemed to believe that, with the use of enough intermittent renewables, their variability would cancel out.

The Pentagon plans to boost the stockpile of rare earth minerals, cobalt and lithium it manages for the U.S. government to reduce its long-term dependence on China, two people familiar with the plan said.

A new commodity supercycle is being driven by a massive energy transition … And two elements are experiencing a supply squeeze that is creating huge opportunities for investors. The first is lithium, the super metal fueling the EV and energy storage boom. The second is helium, the key to future tech innovation and an irreplaceable necessity for semiconductors, which are also undergoing a long-running supply squeeze. Lithium prices have surged 500% over the past year on the fast-paced global adoption of EVs. BNEF predicts…

Tesla has inked a five-year agreement to secure a significant stock of lithium from Australia as competition for global supplies sends prices of the mineral skyrocketing. Liontown Resources plans to commence production in 2024 at its flagship Kathleen Valley lithium project in Western Australia, where it will supply Tesla with 100,000 tonnes of lithium concentrate […]

The energy transition is driving the next commodity supercycle, with immense prospects for technology manufacturers, energy traders, and investors. Clean energy technologies require more metals than their fossil fuel-based counterparts, with prices of green metals projected to reach historical peaks for an unprecedented, sustained period in a net-zero emissions scenario. But few, if any, green metals have witnessed a price explosion as epic as that of lithium. Fastmarkets currently estimates the spot price for battery-grade lithium carbonate in…

As the price of lithium has skyrocketed over 400% in the past year, the demand for lithium-ion batteries appears more intense than ever. Lithium has earned the ‘white petroleum’ label due to its dramatic need for supplies from the rise of battery giga-factories, electric vehicles, powerwalls and energy storage businesses. Battery makers including Tesla, Panasonic and LG Chem, have to budget for the rising cost of lithium. Batteries that go into electric cars require lithium. More battery makers will need to expand production to…

Albemarle <> plunges by the most on the S&P 500 after its full-year earnings guidance disappointed investors who had expected more with lithium prices at record highs

Rapid growth in the EV market has seen demand for key battery metal lithium surge. The post Liontown (ASX:LTR) share price rockets 16% today on Tesla lithium deal appeared first on The Motley Fool Australia .

In recent years, it has been determined that the Imperial County region holds significant lithium and rare mineral resources. It is estimated that Imperial County may hold as much as fifteen (15) million metric tons of these vital resources. The demand for these resources is expected to increase dramatically as the consumer demand for electric powered vehicles and portable electronics expand. In addition, geothermal production may also expand to between 1,500MW and 3,000MW over the next two decades, bringing even further potential for economic investment and community development. The Imperial County Board of Supervisors will hold a press conference on the Lithium Valley Economic Opportunity Investment Plan (LVIP). This plan provides a detailed framework and specific actions for the County of Imperial to pursue economic investment from the lithium industry in partnership opportunities from the State of California and the United States Federal Government. This press conference will be conducted in-person and …

Battery-powered cars are having a breakthrough moment and will enter the mainstream this year as automakers begin selling electric versions of one of Americans'' favourite vehicle type: pickup trucks. But not everyone will benefit. Makers of mufflers, fuel injection systems and other parts could go out of business, leaving many workers jobless. Over time, battery ingredients like lithium, nickel and cobalt could become more sought after than oil. Prices for these materials are already skyrocketing, which could limit sales in the short term by driving up the cost of electric cars.

NEW YORK , Feb. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The lithium market is being driven by strong demand for lithium-ion batteries, which are, among other things, a source of power for electric vehicles (EVs). The propagation of EV and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) has inevitably boosted the adoption of lithium-ion batteries. Other factors contributing to the growth of this market include a growing need for battery-operated material-handling equipment in several industries due to automation as well as the continued development of smart device and the growing adoption of lithium-ion batteries in renewable energy sector. And, according to data provided by MarketsandMarkets , the global lithium-ion battery market size is projected to grow from USD 41.1 Billion in 2021 to USD 116.6 Billion by 2030, while growing at a CAGR of 12.3% from 2021 to 2030.
