This work is independent, reflects the views of the authors, and has not been commissioned by any business, government, or other institution. Global demand for batteries is increasing, driven largely by the imperative to reduce climate change through electrification of mobility and the broader energy transition.
With exclusion of China that is dominant in many stages of battery supply chain and the absence of resource-rich countries such as Indonesia, Philippines, Chile, and Peru, the feasibility of this partnership to meet the escalating demand is a controversial issue .
Just as analysts tend to underestimate the amount of energy generated from renewable sources, battery demand forecasts typically underestimate the market size and are regularly corrected upwards.
The global commitment to decarbonizing the transport sector has resulted in an unabated growth in the markets for electric vehicles and their batteries. Consequently, the demand for battery raw materials is continuously growing.
Owing to these challenges and to increase the battery energy density, the market demand for alternative batteries including lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (NMC) batteries with 532 NMC (5 parts nickel, 3 parts manganese, and 2 parts cobalt) and 622 NMC cathode chemistries has surged .
Stationary storage will also increase battery demand, accounting for about 400 GWh in STEPS and 500 GWh in APS in 2030, which is about 12% of EV battery demand in the same year in both the STEPS and the APS. IEA. Licence: CC BY 4.0 Battery production has been ramping up quickly in the past few years to keep pace with increasing demand.
