many miners, both adults and children, later experience potentially fatal health effects from the prolonged exposure to cobalt dust. violence from supervisors and mine collapses are common. once mined, the cobalt passes “downstream” in the supply chain through traders, subcontractors, smelters and importers, before it reaches the manufacturer.

looking at the environmental segment, using a bottom-up methodology, roskill has defined the carbon footprint of refined cobalt production on an asset-by-asset basis. the total co 2 emissions output of cobalt production in 2021 is expected to total approximately 1.6mt, but this is expected to nearly double to 3.0mt by 2030, on the back of demand
pay, much like the environment the workers must operate in, is also atrocious. a typical wage is eight pence a day or the equivalent of ten cents in us dollars. amnesty international documented child labor in cobalt mines in both 2016 and 2017, citing a lack of due diligence between artisanal mining operations in the drc and their sale on the global market.

two other key ingredients, cobalt and nickel, are more in danger of creating a bottleneck in the move towards electric vehicles, and at a potentially huge environmental cost.
h ere’s a thoroughly modern riddle: what links the battery in your smartphone with a dead yak floating down a tibetan river? the answer is lithium – the reactive alkali metal that powers our phones, tablets, laptops and electric cars. in may 2016, hundreds of protestors threw dead fish onto the streets of tagong, a town on the eastern edge of the tibetan plateau.
