The regulation sets a target for lithium recovery from waste batteries of 50% by the end of 2027 and 80% by the end of 2031, which can be amended through delegated acts depending on market and technological developments and the availability of lithium.
For electric vehicle batteries and energy storage, the EU will need up to 18 times more lithium and 5 times more cobalt by 2030, and nearly 60 times more lithium and 15 times more cobalt by 2050, compared with the current supply to the whole EU economy.
The new Batteries Regulation will ensure that, in the future, batteries have a low carbon footprint, use minimal harmful substances, need less raw materials from non-EU countries, and are collected, reused and recycled to a high degree in Europe. This will support the shift to a circular economy, increase security of supply for raw materials
Lithium-ion batteries are also frequently discussed as a potential option for grid energy storage, [142] although as of 2020, they were not yet cost-competitive at scale. [143] Performance. Specific energy density: 100 to 250 W·h/kg (360 to 900 kJ/kg) [144] Volumetric energy density : 250 to 680 W·h/L (900 to 2230 J/cm 3) [145] [146] Specific power density: 1 to 10,000 W/kg [1]
