Quotes

Hanekom said even a modest increase in the use of fuel-cell powered vehicles would push up platinum demand. "It is worth noting that even a modest increase in the global penetration of fuel-cell powered vehicles will result in a significant increase in the demand for platinum, and will contribute to our target of meeting 25 percent of global catalyst demand by 2020. "Our nation holds almost three-quarters of the world's known resources of platinum, so this would be a very, very significant development," he said. Government was also looking at developing lithium-ion batteries, which would include the use of manganese. This was aimed at the solar and wind energyenergy sector, where there was a need for better energy-storage devices. "Our main focus at this stage is on lithium-ion battery technologies. Some of the novel battery systems we are developing are based on manganese, and -- given that South Africa has 80 percent of the world's manganese reserves -- this represents another significant beneficiation opportunity." Hanekom also told the House that government's Titanium Industry Development Initiative was "making impressive progress". More than R75 million would be invested in this over the next two years, through the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research. "A key activity is the development of a novel, low-cost process for the production of titanium metal powder, which will provide South Africa with a global competitive advantage. "A pilot plant, with the capacity to produce two kilograms of titanium powder per hour, is currently under construction at the CSIR campus in Pretoria. It will be officially launched next month." Titanium, a corrosion-resistant metal, is crucial in the production of strong, lightweight alloys."
