The global supply chain for battery materials is notably concentrated, particularly in China, which dominates processing and refining stages. This concentration creates vulnerabilities and risks related to geopolitical tensions, trade policies, and market fluctuations.
Regulatory frameworks, such as the EU's Batteries Regulation, are being established to set targets for recycled content and collection goals, promoting circularity in the battery supply chain. The landscape of battery raw materials is rapidly evolving, driven by unprecedented demand from the electric vehicle and energy storage sectors.
The demand for battery raw materials has surged dramatically in recent years, driven primarily by the expansion of electric vehicles (EVs) and the growing need for energy storage solutions.
Looking solely at raw material emissions (not including emissions related to material transformation) for materials used to produce an anode electrode, graphite precursors such as graphite flake and petroleum coke are the most emissive materials, contributing about 7 to 8 percent of total emissions from battery raw materials.
Within the battery market itself, the choice of battery chemistries determines demand for materials, driven by the need to balance battery performance and cost. There are currently two broad families of battery chemistries—lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (Li-NMC) and lithium iron phosphate (LFP).
