Pricing Battery Minerals with Simon Moores - Benchmark Mineral Intelligence
Emily sits down with Benchmark Mineral Intelligence founder and CEO Simon Moores during their annual flagship event. Simon looks back at Benchmark's journey over the last few years culminating with Arnold Schwarzenegger opening this year's Benchmark Week.
Emily and Simon discuss entrepreneurship, Benchmark's role in the energy transition, critical minerals creeping into the mainstream conversation, EVs, AI and their love of 50 Cent's Get Rich or Die Tryin'.
Simon Moores is a British businessman and entrepreneur, specializing in the lithium ion battery and electric vehicle industry.
He is founder and CEO of Benchmark Mineral Intelligence, an independent market intel and price reporting agency for the lithium ion battery to EV supply chain.
He has testified to the US Senate three times, in 2017, 2019 and 2020, where he was focused on the impact of critical mineral supply chains in the wake of the rise of energy storage and electric vehicles, and outlined the percentage of global capacity controlled by the US at each stage of the lithium ion battery supply chain, with the answer for most being zero.
Benchmark sets the lithium industry’s benchmark pricing as well as for cobalt, graphite, nickel and battery cells.
