However, the daily operation of batteries also contributes to such emission, which is largely disregarded by both the vendor as well as the public. Besides, recycling and recovering the degraded batteries have proved to be difficult, mostly due to logistical issues, lack of supporting policies, and low ROI.
Understanding constraints within the raw battery material supply chain is essential for making informed decisions that will ensure the battery industry’s future success. The primary limiting factor for long-term mass production of batteries is mineral extraction constraints.
Undeniably, securing sustainability in batteries should not focus only on the end of life (EoL) but throughout the life cycle of the batteries. Additionally, the responsibility of establishing circularity in batteries should not depend solely on industries and producers but should involve consumers as well.
This paper emphasises the battery raw material supply chain challenges from a mineral extraction perspective. Available mineral resources, constraints in production capacities, and timelines for extraction rate ramp-up to meet growing metal demand will be explored from a bottom-up approach.
The development of solid-state batteries is mainly driven by electromobility and its quest for higher energy densities and therefore greater driving ranges. Polymer SSB are already on the market and are currently used primarily in electric buses.
There are opportunities to minimise the constraints placed on the raw battery material supply chain. The immediate solution would be to reduce the overall demand of critical minerals and avoid the use of rare earth elements. This can include the pursuit of alternative battery compositions for stationary storage solutions.
