Friday, 27 September 2024, 03:31
Understanding Critical Materials and India’s Potential
Critical materials such as copper and nickel are becoming increasingly important...
Copper: The Metal of Electrification
- Copper is vital for solar panels, electric vehicles, and power grids.
- Electric cars use nearly 83 kg of copper, which is four times more than traditional vehicles.
- Demand is projected to double by 2035.
Nickel: Powering the Future
- Nickel is crucial for lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles.
- Recycling initiatives can recover significant amounts of nickel.
Strategies for India’s Development
To secure critical materials, India must invest in mining, enhance recycling efforts, and expand its manufacturing capabilities. By focusing on domestic production and global collaborations, India can lead in the renewable energy landscape.
