Karen Hayes, Senior Director Mines to Markets, Pact Batteries for electricity storage and eco-design: Getting real about what this means for cobalt from the DRC Raw Materials Conference 2017: No energy transition without raw materials! The Hague, June 23, 2017 Karen Hayes, Senior Director Mines to Markets, Pact

The DRC as a global supplier of cobalt Over 40% of cobalt supply is used for batteries Demand is growing at over 5% pa 60% global cobalt comes from DRC Up to 20% of DRC cobalt is from artisanal and small-scale mining Over 60,000 miners in the DRC copper-cobalt sector (fluctuating seasonally and according to prices) Price increases are driving an uptick in artisanal production DRC will continue to be an important source into the future

Better practices are not only possible, but are already being tried
