The alliance consists of more than 50 representatives from politics and industry. By 2045, 5,000 self-driving buses and 20,000 autonomous shuttles are to populate public transport in the Munich area. Goods are also to be transported driverless. Autonomous driving is not developing as quickly as was thought years ago, but research and work are continuing. Reaching Level 5, the highest level of autonomous mobility (driverless, on any road, without human assistance), will still take some time. In the US, Level 4 has already been achieved in some test areas. Autonomous shuttles can be ordered there within a limited area. Even if we still have to wait for robot taxis, electric vehicles are becoming increasingly popular, that much is certain. This means that demand for batteries for electric vehicles and storage batteries, and thus for the raw materials used in them, will continue to grow.

And industry also wants to switch to CO2-neutral operations. Lithium, nickel, cobalt, and copper are all part of the transition to environmentally friendly technologies. Added to this is the expansion of wind power, photovoltaics, and the expansion of power grids. Although raw materials are available in sufficient quantities globally, supply bottlenecks are always possible. There is strong market concentration and dependence on imports. Nickel, for example, is not only used in lithium-ion batteries, but also in the stainless-steel industry as an important alloying element. There, it ensures corrosion resistance, durability, and heat resistance.

Canada Nickel Company – https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/canada-nickel-company-inc/ – has nickel and cobalt in its Crawford project in Ontario. The exploration program is being pushed forward with vigor.

Green Bridge Metals – https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/green-bridge-metals-corp/ – specializes in battery metals, particularly copper, nickel, platinum, and palladium. Its projects are located in Canada and Minnesota.
