for the processing of most lithium-battery raw materials. The Nation would benefit greatly from development and growth of cost-competitive domestic materials processing for . lithium-battery materials. The elimination of critical minerals (such as cobalt and nickel) from lithium batteries, and new processes that decrease the cost of battery materials such . as cathodes, anodes,
More batteries means extracting and refining greater quantities of critical raw materials, particularly lithium, cobalt and nickel. Rising EV battery demand is the greatest contributor to increasing demand for critical metals like lithium. Battery demand for lithium stood at around 140 kt in 2023, 85% of total lithium demand and up more than 30
Altogether, materials in the cathode account for 31.3% of the mineral weight in the average battery produced in 2020. This figure doesn''t include aluminum, which is used in nickel-cobalt-aluminum (NCA) cathode

This review outlines strategies to mitigate these emissions, assessing their mitigation potential and highlighting techno-economic challenges. Although multiple decarbonization options exist, the ability to reduce total GHG emissions from battery-grade raw materials production is increasingly challenged by skyrocketing demand.
Asia (China, Japan, and South Korea) supplies 86% of the processed materials and components for Lithium-ion batteries (LIB) worldwide, with China being the major player in Li-Ion cell manufacturing, accounting for three-quarters of the global cell production (Huisman et al., 2020; IEA 2022; Boon-Brett et al., 2017).
The global demand for raw materials for batteries such as nickel, graphite and lithium is projected to increase in 2040 by 20, 19 and 14 times, respectively, compared to 2020. China will continue to be the major supplier of battery-grade raw materials over 2030, even though global supply of these materials will be increasingly diversified.
The explosive growth and widespread applications of lithium-ion batteries in energy storage, transportation and portable devices have raised significant concerns about the availability of raw materials. The quantity of spent lithium-ion batteries increases as more and more electronic devices depend on them, increasing the risk of environmental pollution.
The demand for raw materials for lithium-ion battery (LIB) manufacturing is projected to increase substantially, driven by the large-scale adoption of electric vehicles
Graphite is used as the anode material in lithium-ion batteries. It has the highest proportion by volume of all the battery raw materials and also represents a significant percentage of the costs of cell production. China has played a dominant role in almost the entire supply chain for several years and produces almost 50 % of the world''s
Meanwhile, the raw materials needed to make anode electrodes account for an additional 10 to 15 percent of total emissions from battery raw materials. Looking solely at raw
EV power LIBs will form the largest proportion of the battery industry in next ten years, at a dramatically increasing rate, bringing challenges and problems to supply the
The demand for raw materials for lithium-ion battery (LIB) manufacturing is projected to increase substantially, driven by the large-scale adoption of electric vehicles (EVs). To fully realize the climate benefits of EVs, the production of these materials must scale up while simultaneously reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across their

EV power LIBs will form the largest proportion of the battery industry in next ten years, at a dramatically increasing rate, bringing challenges and problems to supply the demand for raw materials and to treat the consequent numerous spent power LIBs. Recycled materials can alleviate the limited supply of raw materials for power LIBs in the
Meanwhile, the raw materials needed to make anode electrodes account for an additional 10 to 15 percent of total emissions from battery raw materials. Looking solely at raw material emissions (not including emissions related to material transformation) for materials used to produce an anode electrode, graphite precursors such as graphite flake and petroleum coke
With the current growth rate of demand for such raw materials for lithium-ion batteries, raw materials such as cobalt and lithium from natural resources will face enormous pressure. In addition to this, due to the characteristics of insecurity and the limitations of the area (Democratic Republic of Congo) where cobalt metal is located, it is more difficult to obtain cobalt metal from

Battery raw materials like lithium carbonate (Li 2 CO 3), lithium hydroxide (LiOH), nickel (Ni) and cobalt (Co) have experienced significant price fluctuations over the past five years. Figures 1 and 2 show the development of material spot prices between 2018 and 2023. Spot market prices reflect instant transactions and may not fully reflect the prices of battery
From the results, it can be concluded that the abundant material scenario requires less material demand of battery raw materials. The demand for cobalt and nickel in the abundant material scenario is about half of the demand for the same raw materials in the critical material scenario.

In Europe, Serbia is a likely source of lithium minerals for conversion to chemicals, and Norway a reliable source of flake and refined graphite. Figure 3 – Projection of production capacity for battery-grade processed raw materials and cells in 2030
However, it is likely that the EU will be import reliant to various degrees for primary and processed (batt-grade) materials. Australia and Canada are the two countries with the greatest potential to provide additional and low-risk supply to the EU for almost all battery raw materials.
