6 FAQs about [Energy storage raw metals]
Why do we need raw materials?
Raw materials now account for a significant and growing share of the total cost of clean energy technologies.
What are battery minerals?
In particular, we focus on a selection of battery minerals, namely cobalt, lithium and nickel. These materials are key ingredients for the energy transition, as they are extensively used in rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, and are strategic for the development of electric vehicles (EVs) and grid-scale energy storage.
Are EVs and battery storage causing mineral demand growth?
In both scenarios, EVs and battery storage account for about half of the mineral demand growth from clean energy technologies over the next two decades, spurred by surging demand for battery materials. Mineral demand from EVs and battery storage grows tenfold in the STEPS and over 30 times in the SDS over the period to 2040.
Why is recycling important for energy transition metals?
Recycling relieves the pressure on primary supply. For bulk metals, recycling practices are well established, but this is not yet the case for many energy transition metals such as lithium and rare earth elements. Emerging waste streams from clean energy technologies (e.g. batteries, wind turbines) can change this picture.
Why do we need battery metals?
It is therefore of paramount importance for governments and industry to work to ensure adequate supply of battery metals to mitigate any price increases, and the resulting challenges for clean electrification.
Is lithium recovery from brines a viable raw material for green energy?
