Description: The rapid expansion of electric vehicles is driving unprecedented demand for critical materials. Meeting a 1.5°C-aligned pathway requires EV battery production to grow fivefold by 2030, intensifying pressure on lithium, cobalt and nickel supply chains that remain highly concentrated and vulnerable.

Sodium-ion batteries offer a strategic alternative. Based on abundant and widely distributed materials, they can reduce dependence on critical minerals, diversify supply chains, and enhance resilience. While not a universal replacement for lithium-ion technologies, sodium-ion systems are increasingly viable for specific EV segments and stationary storage applications. This session explores future battery chemistry pathways toward 2030, highlighting how accelerated deployment of sodium-ion can ease material constraints while supporting rapid electrification. It will also outline key policy actions to foster innovation, strengthen circularity, and build more resilient and sustainable battery value chains.

Organizer: ESI Africa

Description:  South Africa’s electricity sector is on the brink of its most significant structural reform. With the Electricity Regulation Amendment Act now in force and the unbundling of the transmission function well underway, the country is preparing to move from a single-buyer system to a market-based wholesale electricity market.

This webinar, “Countdown to the South African Electricity Wholesale Market,” provides a timely and practical overview of what this transition means, how the new market will work and how plans are progressing against proposed milestones.
