Sustained growth in lithium-ion battery (LIB) demand within the transportation sector (and the electricity sector) motivates detailed investigations of whether future raw materials supply will reconcile with resulting material requirements for these batteries. We track the metal content associated with compounds used in LIBs.
The risks of the supply chain of lithium-ion battery material are assessed. Lithium and cobalt are the most critical materials for lithium-ion battery industry currently. Risks in the downstream stages of nickel and manganese should not be neglected. Further analysis calls for comprehensive database establishment.
While the lithium-ion battery supply chain will likely remain Chinese-dominated until 2030, a European CRM supply security policy and other global supply diversification policies are picking up. Re-shoring activities create opportunities for Europe to strengthen the resilience of its lithium supply chain and to become more self-sufficient.
This study investigates the long-term availability of lithium (Li) in the event of significant demand growth of rechargeable lithium-ion batteries for supplying the power and transport sectors with very-high shares of renewable energy.
Benchmark Mineral Intelligence, an information provider on the lithium-ion battery supply chain, estimates a 300,000 tLCE supply deficit by 2030 in its business-as-usual demand scenario. Albemarle, one of the largest lithium producers, estimates a 500,000 tLCE deficit by then.
The key conclusions of this perspective have shown that the supply of most materials contained within lithium-ion batteries will likely meet the demand for the near future. However, there are potential risks associated with the supply of cobalt.
