Ensuring a reliable supply of critical battery raw materials will be crucial to the global push to net-zero, especially with demand for battery electric vehicles (BEV) picking up pace towards the end of this decade, a new report by McKinsey finds.
Fast-increasing demand for battery raw materials and imbalanced regional supply and demand are challenging battery and automotive producers’ efforts to reduce Scope 3 emissions. The net-zero transition will require vast amounts of raw materials to support the development and rollout of low-carbon technologies.
Based on current market observations, battery manufacturers can expect challenges securing supply of several essential battery raw materials by 2030, McKinsey’s report finds. Battery makers use more than 80% of all lithium that is mined today, and that share could grow to 95% by 2030.
The global demand for raw materials for batteries such as nickel, graphite and lithium is projected to increase in 2040 by 20, 19 and 14 times, respectively, compared to 2020. China will continue to be the major supplier of battery-grade raw materials over 2030, even though global supply of these materials will be increasingly diversified.
Source: JRC analysis. Demand of primary materials for batteries can be decreased as well as the criticality of raw materials supply through the adoption of various Circular Economy (CE) strategies, e.g. extending the lifespan of batteries (reuse, remanufacturing and second-use) and recycling (providing secondary materials).
Meanwhile, the supply of manganese is projected to grow moderately through 2030, but an increasing demand for battery-grade material is likely to outpace supply, requiring the development of new refineries.
