Sodium-ion batteries are a promising technology for the ESS-market, expected to take up 21 % of new installations by 2030. This means an anticipated demand of about 50 GWh of sodium-ion cells required in 2030.
Sodium-ion batteries (SIB) could ensure all this, and it is therefore a promising technology on the rise. Sodium technology is in its cradle and a new industry is starting to form. Globally, companies are planning to build gigafactories, producing the fairly new technology, and the supply chain is in build-up.
Due to that sodium-ion batteries is a relatively new field, the available literature on sustainability aspect of sodium-ion is a bit constrained, which is justified by the reports Peters et al., (2021b), Pell, (2023) and (Liu et al., 2021).
In the outcome of this thesis, it is showing that sodium-ion batteries can drastically decrease the Acidification and Resource Use (minerals & metals) imprint, when comparing to lithium. The driver for the resource reduction is illustrated by Pell to be the avoidance of graphite and NMC cathodes.
