What are the risks of lithium-ion battery supply chain?

The risks of the supply chain of lithium-ion battery material are assessed. Lithium and cobalt are the most critical materials for lithium-ion battery industry currently. Risks in the downstream stages of nickel and manganese should not be neglected. Further analysis calls for comprehensive database establishment.

How does lithium affect supply risk evaluation?

The highest supply risk is obtained for NMC-C (50 points) and the lowest supply risk again for LFP-LTO (45 points). In this approach, the impact of lithium on the supply risk evaluation is reduced due to its low specific mass. It accounts for 6.5% of the mass in LFP-LTO, but only 1.3% in LMO-C.

Which aggregation options are used in a lithium battery supply risk assessment?

Semi-quantitative Li-ion battery supply risk assessment using eleven indicators. Four aggregation options applied to LCO, LMO, NMC, NCA, LFP-C and LFP-LTO. Li and Co show highest supply risk, but results are in a rather narrow band. LFP-LTO often with the lowest supply risk, especially if Li, Al and P are excluded.

Which countries can provide a low-risk battery supply to the EU?

Australia and Canada are the two countries with the greatest potential to provide additional and low-risk supply to the EU for almost all battery raw materials. Enhancing circularity along the battery value chains has potential to decrease EU’s supply dependency.

Does the LFP-LTO battery have a lower supply risk?

Using the uncertainty analysis for the “simple arithmetic mean” case, it is concluded that – compared to the other five battery types – the LFP-LTO battery has a statistically significant lower supply risk both with and without the three elements Li, Al and P (the latter are present in all batteries).

Does the LCO-C battery type have a higher supply risk?

There is a statistically significant higher supply risk associated with the LCO-C battery type compared to LMO-C, LFP-C and LFP-LTO using the reduced set of seven elements and the cost share aggregation approach. The differences associated with the removal of the three elements from the analysis are in general, however, not large.
