Scope 3 Magazine explores the supply chain sustainability of lithium, nickel, cobalt and manganese (Credit: Wikimedia Commons) The rapid rise of electric vehicles (EVs) and renewable energy technologies has placed unprecedented strain on the supply chains of critical raw materials. As the latest
gthening the energy security in Norway and Europe. To illustrate this, estimates show that switching from a traditional ICE car to an electric vehicle can reduce CO2 emissions by 60% in if the battery is produced in a country with a predominantly renewable energy mix. Hence, Norway has the
Lithium-ion (Li-ion) EV battery prices have decreased dramatically over the past few years, mainly due to the fall in prices of critical battery metals: Lithium, cobalt and nickel. For example, the price of cobalt has fallen from roughly $70,000 per metric ton in to about $30,000 in .
Nickel demand is climbing sharply due to its role in lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (Li-NMC) batteries. Class 1 nickel, a high-purity form critical for batteries, currently sees around 65% of its production directed towards stainless steel. By , competition between battery and steel
