They are ubiquitous in the manufactured goods and supporting infrastructure we use and rely on every day. Minerals and metals perform a myriad of functions, including enabling the technologies needed to decarbonise the global economy such as low-carbon energy generation and zero-emission transport. However, humans use minerals and metals in vast quantities and their extraction and processing have profound environmental consequences, particularly in the emission of greenhouse gases.

Several countries have developed plans for the decarbonisation of power grids and the development of low-emission vehicles. For example, the UK Government has committed to abolish the sale of new conventional cars and vans by 2040, and for every car and van on the road to be a zero-emission vehicle by 2050.</mineralsuk/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/390//p>/mineralsuk/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/390/n/mineralsuk/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/390/n/mineralsuk/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/390/n/mineralsuk/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/390/n<p>Batteries and fuel cells are enabling technologies for low-emission vehicles and their adoption is forecast to grow exponentially in the coming years. Even though dependency on fossil fuels will be reduced, raw materials, in particular minerals and metals, will be needed in greater amounts for the manufacture of battery packs, fuel cells, electric vehicles and hydrogen-powered vehicles. Cobalt, lithium, graphite, nickel, manganese, platinum group metals, copper, rare earth elements and many more will be required to enable this transition. Many of these materials are considered critical and issues with supply vulnerability and disruption may arise if actions to monitor the physical economy and mitigate potential impacts are not taken in time.</mineralsuk/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/390//p>/mineralsuk/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/390/n/mineralsuk/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/390/n/mineralsuk/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/390/n/mineralsuk/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/390/n<p>The low-emissions vehicle transition is ambitious and requires a major shift in raw material use.

Many African countries (most notably Mozambique, Madagascar, Tanzania and Namibia) have graphite resources and some operating graphite mines; however, there is much less engagement in critical stages further along the supply chain, in particular processing to produce high-purity spherical graphite. There is clear potential for Africa/mineralsuk/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/390/u2019s graphite resources to make a greater economic contribution, but this should be placed in the context of the wider supply chain and environmental, social and governance issues.</mineralsuk/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/390//p>/mineralsuk/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/390/n/mineralsuk/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/390/n/mineralsuk/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/390/n/mineralsuk/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/390/n<ul class=/mineralsuk/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/390/"wp-block-list/mineralsuk/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/390/">/mineralsuk/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/390/n<li><a href=/mineralsuk/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/390/"http:/mineralsuk/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/390///mineralsuk/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/390//nora.nerc.ac.uk/mineralsuk/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/390//id/mineralsuk/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/390//eprint/mineralsuk/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/390//531119/mineralsuk/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/390///mineralsuk/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/390/" target=/mineralsuk/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/390/"_blank/mineralsuk/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/390/" rel=/mineralsuk/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/390/"noreferrer noopener/mineralsuk/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/390/">Graphite resources and their potential to support supply chains in Africa</mineralsuk/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/390//a></mineralsuk/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/390//li>/mineralsuk/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/390/n</mineralsuk/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/390//ul>/mineralsuk/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/390/n/mineralsuk/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/390/n/mineralsuk/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/390/n        <div class=/mineralsuk/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/390/"js-anchor-link-wrap anchor-link-wrap/mineralsuk/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/390/" id=/mineralsuk/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/390/"lithiumafrica/mineralsuk/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/390/"><span class=/mineralsuk/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/390/"sr-only js-anchor-link/mineralsuk/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/390/">Lithium resources in Africa</mineralsuk/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/390//span></mineralsuk/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/390//div>/mineralsuk/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/390/n        /mineralsuk/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/390/n/mineralsuk/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/390/n/mineralsuk/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/390/n<h2 class=/mineralsuk/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/390/"wp-block-heading/mineralsuk/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/390/">Lithium resources in Africa</mineralsuk/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/390//h2>/mineralsuk/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/390/n/mineralsuk/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/390/n/mineralsuk/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/390/n/mineralsuk/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/390/n<p>The continent of Africa has significant natural lithium resources, which may provide an opportunity for many African countries to contribute to meeting increased demand whilst also supporting economic growth.
