Table 2 Scenario definition for cobalt supply
From: Matching global cobalt demand under different scenarios for co-production and mining attractiveness
Number | Sub | Description |
|---|---|---|
1 | a) Cobalt is only extracted as by-product (is not included in the optimization routine) | Mining risk is different in each regions |
b) Cobalt needs to be supplied (is included in optimization routine and global extraction of cobalt shall equal global cobalt demand) | ||
2 | a) Cobalt is only extracted as by-product (is not included in the optimization routine) | Mining risk is the same in all regions |
b) Cobalt needs to be supplied (is included in optimization routine and global extraction of cobalt shall equal global cobalt demand) | ||
3 | a) Cobalt is only extracted as by-product (is not included in the optimization routine) | Mining risk in RoW Africa is set to 100 during 2020–2035 and ramp-down of capacity from capacity 2020 to 5 % of capacity 2020 over 2023 until 2029 and ramp-up back to 80 % of 2020 capacity in 2035 |
b) Cobalt needs to be supplied (is included in optimization routine and global extraction of cobalt shall equal global cobalt demand) | ||
4 | a) Copper demand is reduced by 20 % in 2050 | Primary copper demand is modified in the A matrix (cobalt is considered by-product only and mining risk differs in each regions) |
b) Copper demand is increased by 20 % in 2050 | ||
5 | a) Growth rate is slowed down by 20 % in 2050 | GDP growth is ‘slowed down’ or ‘speed up’ (cobalt is considered by-product only and mining risk differs in each regions) |
b) Growth rate is speed up by 20 % in 2050 |
