This is to go into operation by the end of 2023. According to the plan of Industry Minister Julien Paluku Kahongya, a complete battery cell factory could also be built in Congo by the end of this decade or the beginning of the new one. The country is in contact with possible partner companies, including Bosch, but also Chinese companies.
Yet looking to the future, there are many who doubt that Li-ion batteries will be able to power the world''s needs for portable energy storage in the long run. For some applications (such as transportation and grid) Li-ion batteries are costly at present, and a shortage of Li and some of the transition metals currently used in Li-ion batteries may …
