Billionaires want to mine Greenland for rare Earth metals to power batteries. It could be a climate solution or "a perfect symbol for our dystopian times."
The global importance of the Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide (NMC) battery market is rapidly increasing due to the growing demand for efficient, high-energy
Solid-State technology impact on cobalt and nickel is expected to be modest, but might increase the demand for lithium. While the impact of Li-air batteries is expected to come as a game-changer for raw material
Did you know EV battery prices are set to drop 50% by 2026? If you wonder how—the answer lies in innovations in technology and manufacturing.
The operando experiment pinpoints manganese loss as the earliest—and most damaging—step in capacity fade, data that battery makers can now use to redesign
The inventory of copper products was 1,433.67 mt (metal content), down 64.70% YoY. Among the key projects under construction, the company previously expected the 20,000
A 55,000 t/yr nickel metal equivalent hydrometallurgy plant and a 30,000 t/yr nickel-cobalt-manganese precursor project are expected to start producing by 2028. The
The quantities of material demand for manganese used in LIBs are low in contrast to the high global production volume. However, the calculation for lithium and cobalt predicts a higher material demand in 2040 than the production volume of these battery metals in 2021. In the case of nickel, it depends on the technology and growth scenario.
At present, nickel demand for batteries makes up only a small share (~3 percent) of class 1 nickel demand. However, growth in nickel-intensive batteries is expected to boost demand for batteries by a factor of ~17 up to 2025 (from ~30 kt to 570 kt).
Current recycling technologies can recover 84 % and 16 % of the nickel from spent NCA and NMC batteries, respectively. Overall, the nickel demand in the battery sector is expected to grow by 58 % from 2010 to 2030 . 2.2.
Our analysis of raw material requirements for batteries, which includes a radical shift away from cobalt- to more nickel-intensive batteries, shows that with expected metal supply developments, EV adoption is likely to be challenged by availability of cobalt and class 1 nickel around 2025.
Therefore, it should be considered to change the cathode materials from cobalt-rich towards nickel-rich and Fe- and Mn-based cathode materials. The transition to other cell chemistries like Fe- and Mn-based materials can significantly reduce the pressure on Co and Ni demand. This would result in lower raw material use for EV LIBs.
At present, the global value of lithium, cobalt, and nickel for batteries is estimated at ~$5 billion, of which cobalt represents the largest share (~60 percent), followed by lithium (~30 percent), and high purity class 1 nickel suitable for batteries (~10 percent).
