But a 2022 analysis by the McKinsey Battery Insights team projects that the entire lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery chain, from mining through recycling, could grow by over 30 percent annually from 2022 to 2030, when it would reach a value of more than $400 billion and a market size of 4.7 TWh. 1 These estimates are based on recent data for Li-ion batteries for
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are essential in the low-carbon energy transition. However, the social consequences of LIBs throughout the entire lifecycle have been insufficiently explored in the literature. To address this gap, this study conducted a comprehensive review of peer-reviewed literature, grey literature, and conflicts in the Global
Based on this, this paper first analyzes the cost components and benefits of adding BESS to the smart grid and then focuses on the cost pressures of BESS; it compares
The aim of this study is to assess the social risks related to two different stationary batteries for energy storage, the LIB (Figure 1) and the VRFB (Figure 2). The scope of the assessment is cradle-to-use, while potential risks introduced during end-of-life are discussed separately (see Section 4.1.2 .).
In the final installment, we look at the reasons why lithium-ion batteries are said to be "batteries that contribute to the realization of a sustainable society" and examine environmental load reduction, recycling, SDGs, and
As a key ingredient of batteries for electric vehicles (EVs), lithium plays a significant role in climate change mitigation, but lithium has considerable impacts on water and society across its life cycle.
Lithium-based batteries power our daily lives from consumer electronics to national defense. They enable electrification of the transportation sector and provide stationary grid storage, critical to developing the clean-energy economy.
The overwhelming benefits of battery energy storage certainly outweigh the negatives and every year, we''re seeing more and more people turn to BESS to improve their use of renewable energy.

Lithium-based batteries are essential because of their increasing importance across several industries, particularly when it comes to electric vehicles and renewable energy storage. Sustainable batteries throughout their entire life cycle represent a key enabling technology for the zero pollution objectives of the European Green Deal.
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, and electrolytes, are key enablers of future growth in the materials-processing industry.
Lithium-ion batteries remain the first choice for grid energy storage because they are high-performance batteries, even at their higher cost. However, the high price of BESS has become a key factor limiting its more comprehensive application. The search for a low-cost, long-life BESS is a goal researchers have pursued for a long time.
By providing a nuanced understanding of the environmental, economic, and social dimensions of lithium-based batteries, the framework guides policymakers, manufacturers, and consumers toward more informed and sustainable choices in battery production, utilization, and end-of-life management.
The sustainability of lithium-based batteries can vary significantly based on temporal and geographical contexts due to differences in energy mixes, technological advancements, and regulatory environments. The review might not be easily generalizable across different regions and time periods.
