In December 2022, the White House signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the governments of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Zambia to support the development in these countries of an electric vehicle (EV) batteries value chain (US Department of State 2022).
London and Kinshasa, November 24, 2021 – The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) can leverage its abundant cobalt resources and hydroelectric power to become a low-cost and low-emissions producer of lithium-ion battery cathode precursor materials.
In so doing, the country and the rest of Africa can extend their access from the USD271 billion battery precursor segment to the more lucrative USD1.4 trillion combined battery cell production and cell assembly segments of the battery minerals global value chain.
“The DRC’s cost competitiveness comes from its relatively cheap access to land and low engineering, procurement and construction, or EPC, cost compared to the U.S., Poland and China,” said Kwasi Ampofo, lead author of the report and BNEF’s head of metals and mining.
This is three times cheaper than what a similar plant in the U.S. would cost. A similar plant in China and Poland would cost an estimated $112 million and $65 million, respectively. Precursor material produced at plants in the DRC could be cost competitive with material produced in China and Poland but with a lower environmental footprint.
“The DRC produces about 70 per cent of global cobalt but captures just 3 percent of the battery and electric vehicle value chain.
This is due to the DRC’s proximity to cathode raw materials and heavy reliance on hydroelectric power plants.

Eesti Energia, a utility based in Estonia, will install the country''s first grid-scale battery energy storage system (BESS), it announced yesterday. The utility''s sole shareholder is the Baltic Republic''s government, serving both residential and business customers with electricity and gas, with a service area spanning from Finland to Poland.
With an installed power rating of 15MW and an energy storage capacity of 9MWh giving a sub-1-hour duration, the LFP battery system is most likely one of the fleet of projects that won awards in the Fast Reserve auction of 2020. That auction saw five-year contracts handed to some 230MW of battery storage projects for 2023-27 delivery. The first ...
