In the United States, our cost assessment finds that recycling cells with a nominal capacity of 1 kWh –the useful capacity of a battery at end-of-life is usually between 60 and 80% of nominal capacity– costs $6.8 to $8.6. These costs are fairly small compared to cell manufacturing costs of $94.5 kWh −1.
Recent studies show confidence in a more stable battery market growth and, across time-specific studies, authors expect continuously declining battery cost regardless of raw material price developments.
Battery manufacturers may find new opportunities in recycling as the market matures. Companies could create a closed-loop, domestic supply chain that involves the collection, recycling, reuse, or repair of used Li-ion batteries.
Within this transformation, battery costs are considered a main hurdle for the market-breakthrough of battery-powered products. Encouraged by this, various studies have been published attempting to predict these, providing the reader with a large variance of forecasted cost that results from differences in methods and assumptions.
Rechargeable batteries are a key enabler to achieve the long-term goal to transform into a climate-neutral society. Within this transformation, battery costs are considered a main hurdle for the market-breakthrough of battery-powered products.
Results for cell manufacturing in the United States show total cell costs of $94.5 kWh −1, a global warming potential (GWP) of 64.5 kgCO 2 eq kWh −1, and combined environmental impacts (normalizing and weighing 16 impact categories) of 4.0 × 10 −12 kWh −1. Material use contributes 69% to costs and 93% to combined environmental impacts.
