6 FAQs about [Lithium battery shortage materials in 2022]
Will lithium supply treble by 2025?
Lithium is one of the key components in electric vehicle (EV) batteries, but global supplies are under strain because of rising EV demand. The world could face lithium shortages by 2025, the International Energy Agency (IEA) says, while Credit Suisse thinks demand could treble between 2020 and 2025, meaning “supply would be stretched”.
Is there a shortage of lithium?
But by that time, a shortage of another critical material—lithium—is forecast to be hitting in full force. Lithium is a powdery white metal used in the vast majority of rechargeable batteries that power electric vehicles (EVs) and that store electricity generated through renewable resources.
How will supply chain disruptions affect lithium-ion batteries in 2021?
And recent supply chain disruptions have significantly increased the price of key materials by more than 20 percent, which caused the costs of lithium-ion batteries to increase in 2021—the first time in many years. In the longer term, geopolitical and labor constraints will likely constrain material supplies.
Why is there a lithium ion battery shortage?
Two factors are behind the expected shortfall. First, the amount of lithium extracted from deposits around the world is projected to fall well short of demand. Second, the capacity for refining the mineral into the chemicals used in lithium-ion batteries is heavily concentrated in a handful of countries.
Will the world face lithium shortages by 2025?
The IEA says the world could face lithium shortages by 2025. And Credit Suisse says lithium demand could treble between 2020 and 2025, meaning “supply would be stretched”. Campaign group Transport and Environment says there is only enough lithium to produce up to 14 million EVs in 2023, Reuters reports.
