View moreRMI has offices in Basalt and Boulder, Colorado; New York City; Oakland, California; Washington, D.C.; Abuja, Nigeria; and Beijing. Battery minerals are not the new oil. Even as battery demand surges, the combined forces of efficiency, innovation, and circularity will drive peak demand for mined minerals within a decade.
That means the next two decades of mining for battery minerals can become a one-off effort, yielding the minerals that will not just power our energy and mobility system by 2050 but will continue to do so through to 2100 and beyond.
After peaking, battery mineral demand will continue to decline. As annual battery demand reaches its maximum, losses in the collection and recycling recovery system can be offset by reduced mineral demand per battery due to efficiency and innovation. We illustrate this in the exhibit below.
After adding the total manganese, aluminum, iron, phosphorus, graphite, sodium, copper, and other minerals that go into a battery, we need about 125 million tons of minerals to be extracted before we reach circular self-sufficiency.
In this report, we focus on mineral demand from the battery sector, highlighting the three minerals — lithium, nickel, and cobalt — where batteries are the biggest contributor to growth. Many of the takeaways will hold true for graphite, copper, and other key minerals as well.
Primary resource availability for battery minerals is much less concentrated geographically than is processing; however, refining of rare earths, including magnet manufacture for EVs, occurs predominantly in China.
