The report lays the foundation for integrating raw materials into technology supply chain analysis by looking at cobalt and lithium— two key raw materials used to manufacture cathode sheets and electrolytes—the subcomponents of light-duty vehicle (LDV) lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery cells from 2014 through 2016.
Source: JRC analysis. The supply 1 of each processed raw material and components for batteries is currently controlled by an oligopoly industry, which is highly concentrated in China. Although China is expected to continue holding a dominant position, geographic diversification will increase on the supply side, mostly for refined lithium.
A mitigation strategy to cope with the market balance would be to either vertically integrate or use the cooperation strategy to find a long term supply agreement with a nickel supplier. The lithium supply chain is concluded to have the lowest risk of all studied materials. The risk of disruption is low.
A steep demand increase creates uncertainty whether the supply of the raw materials will match the demand in the right time, leading to potential supply risks and disruptions in the supply chain of raw materials to lithium-ion batteries.
The challenge is even greater with clean energy technologies, such as light-duty vehicle (LDV) lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries, that account for a very small, although growing, fraction of the market. Critical raw materials used in manufacturing Li-ion batteries (LIBs) include lithium, graphite, cobalt, and manganese.
