Car LIBs in Brazil may demand up to 86% of Brazilian co reserves from 2020 to 2030. Up to 340,000 and 1400,000 waste Li-ion batteries are expected in 2030 and 2036. Revenues from electrode material recycling in Brazil may surpass US$ 100 mi in 2030. Technological development for graphite recycling may increase revenues in up to 11%. 1. Introduction
Moreover, the second largest EV battery maker, the Chinese company BYD, opened operations for its first battery factory in Brazil in August 2023. In addition to the EVs, the Chinese company will produce electric buses in Brazil, using the batteries manufactured in the country.
In the matter of lithium production, Brazil is in the top five country producers, as indicated by the World Economic Forum in January 2023, and has a huge potential to produce sustainable lithium, capable of exporting 130,000 tons of “green lithium” by year-end.
Brazil produced only 600 metric tons (mt) of lithium in 2018, accounting for about 0.7% of the global market. The country’s entire output of the mineral was mined by Companhia Brasileira de Lítio (CBL), a company co-owned by CODEMGE.
According to Dias et al. (2018), recycling of secondary batteries in Brazil is limited to the initial stages of disassembly and separation, while the most complex components, rich in valuable metals, are mostly exported for processing abroad (USA, Belgium, Japan, the Netherlands, Singapore, Germany and Canada).
Brazil continues to position itself as a major player in the ongoing lithium renaissance turning the global commodity market on its head, with the country’s teaming up with a number of pioneer lithium explorers to launch the Lithium Valley Brazil initiative.
