There is also little to no battery manufacturing, except battery assembly in South Africa. Nevertheless, the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) places the lithium-ion battery value chain as a priority. The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Zambia recently signed a memorandum of understanding to develop this value chain.
Context Battery packs can be assembled in African countries by importing cells and components (e.g., BMS, sensors, inverters) and tailoring battery modules to customer needs. Setting up a battery assembly facility (~USD 2-5 million) to produce ~10 GWh annually could meet internal LFP battery cell demand (~7 GWh by 2030).
Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. The top 10 lithium ion battery manufacturers in Africa are iG3N, BlueNova, Freedom Won, Solar MD, Hanchu Energy, REVOV, Potensa, Esener, CTG EYIL and Jsdsolar SA.
Government Support: African governments are implementing policies to support the battery value chain. Examples include Kenya's electric vehicle policy, South Africa's electrification policy, and raw material export bans in Namibia, Tanzania, and Zimbabwe.
1. May include interim storage of sorted and dismantled parts (warehousing) for pickup by transport and logistics provider Note: There is currently insufficient accessible battery waste in Africa to make it profitable for a company to build a large battery recycling plant.
The required capital expenditure ranges from USD 0.5-1.5 billion. African countries could refine materials for lithium battery production and export to the US and EU. Refining could be in countries that are currently mining raw materials required for battery cell production or have a plan to start by 2030. These include: 4.
