What does Chatham House rule mean for the lithium supply chain?
Stakeholders across the lithium supply chain—from mining companies to battery recycling companies—gathered to discuss, under Chatham House rule, its current state and barriers to growth. Increased supply of lithium is paramount for the energy transition, as the future of transportation and energy storage relies on lithium-ion batteries.
Should lithium-based batteries be a domestic supply chain?
Establishing a domestic supply chain for lithium-based batteries requires a national commitment to both solving breakthrough scientific challenges for new materials and developing a manufacturing base that meets the demands of the growing electric vehicle (EV) and stationary grid storage markets.
How much lithium carbonate is needed for EV batteries in 2030?
Around 0.75 Mt LCE is accounted for by carbonate demand and 1.25 Mt LCE by hydroxide demand for a total of 2 Mt LCE demand in 2030. This outcome depends on EV growth and battery technology assumptions, as high nickel cathode batteries require lithium hydroxide while lithium iron phosphate batteries require lithium carbonate.
