The forefront of mineral processing innovation
The world is turning to renewable energy. It's inevitable. Typically, the problem with renewable energy is its intermittent generation – that is, it isn't always available when needed.
Batteries can provide the way to store and dispatch that power at any time of the day or night. Large lithium-ion batteries can now power entire cities and are set to transform the world through Electric Vehicles (EVs)...and that's just the beginning. These batteries are largely dependent on essential metals, like cobalt.
