TechMet acquires and manages projects that produce, process and recycle the key strategic technology metals that go into batteries, electric vehicles and renewable energy systems; cobalt, lithium, nickel, tin, tungsten, rare earth metals and vanadium.
He explains how the world is undergoing a seismic transformation in how it produces and uses energy. A part of this is a mobility revolution with the mass adoption of electric vehicles. These radical shifts represent ‘once-in-a-century’ investment opportunities and will re-shape not just whole industries, but also the geopolitical landscape.
The West has been late to recognize the significant advancements made by the Chinese in this area over the last 20 years, and how it now needs to play a tough game of catch-up.
A key to success will be the ability to secure the supply of its building blocks – the technology metals.
