South Africa’s vast reserves of manganese and vanadium position the country to take on a more prominent role in the battery storage sector. Manganese, an essential element in lithium-ion batteries used for powering electric vehicles (EVs) and renewable energy grids, is particularly significant. Have you read?
The Netherlands is the primary destination for South Africa’s ferro-alloys and ferro-vanadium exports, while South Korea is a growing market for these products. South Africa lacks the manufacturing capabilities for the production of battery storage. It remains to be proven whether such an activity would be competitive domestically, says Nikomarov.
China, having established battery storage manufacturing facilities, has been the primary supplier of lithium cells and batteries to South Africa between 2019 and 2022. South Africa’s transition from coal-dominated electricity generation to renewable energy sources such as wind and solar presents an opportunity to increase battery pack imports.
Europe, the US and Korea each hold 10% or less of the supply chain for some battery metals and cells, according to a report by the International Energy Agency (IEA). South Africa’s role in this landscape is primarily as an exporter of raw materials. Only about 10% of the country’s vanadium is used domestically, the rest is exported, says Nikomarov.
South Africa has rich reserves of minerals like manganese and vanadium which can position it strongly to emerge as a leader in the expanding global battery industry. Ongoing research is essential to develop battery chemistries that reduce reliance on transition minerals. Image Source: Sven Musica.
