Critical raw materials and battery industry in Serbia

Serbia, like many other countries, recognizes the importance of critical raw materials (CRMs) for various industries, including the battery industry. CRMs are essential elements that are of high economic importance and have a high supply risk, due to their limited availability and geopolitical factors.

Serbia has identified several CRMs within its territory, which are crucial for the development of the battery industry. These include lithium, cobalt, nickel, copper, and graphite. The availability of these materials has attracted significant attention from investors and industry players.

In recent years, Serbia has made efforts to promote the battery industry and capitalize on its CRM resources. The country aims to establish itself as an important player in the European battery manufacturing market. Several initiatives have been taken to attract investments, develop infrastructure, and foster research and development in this sector.

One of the notable projects in Serbia is the Jadar lithium project, owned by Rio TintoIt is one of the largest lithium-borate deposits in the world and is expected to contribute significantly to the global lithium market. The development of this project is poised to position Serbia as a prominent supplier of lithium, a crucial component in batteries.

Furthermore, Serbia has also been exploring opportunities to leverage its reserves of cobalt, nickel, copper, and graphite.These elements are used in battery cathodes and anodes and are in high demand for electric vehicle (EV) batteries. The country aims to attract investments in mining and processing facilities to exploit these resources efficiently.

To support the growth of the battery industry, Serbia is investing in infrastructure, including the development of specialized industrial zones and research facilities. The Serbian government is actively collaborating with international partners and offering incentives to attract foreign direct investment in this sector.

In conclusion, Serbia recognizes the significance of critical raw materials, such as lithium, cobalt, nickel, copper, and graphite, for the battery industry. The country is taking strategic steps to leverage its CRM resources and attract investments in mining, processing, and battery manufacturing. These efforts aim to position Serbia as a key player in the European battery industry and contribute to the global supply chain for batteries and electric vehicles.
