expected ROI of nickel manganese cobalt battery project in Switzerland 2030

Will lithium & cobalt produce more manganese in ?

The quantities of material demand for manganese used in LIBs are low in contrast to the high global production volume. However, the calculation for lithium and cobalt predicts a higher material demand in than the production volume of these battery metals in . In the case of nickel, it depends on the technology and growth scenario.

How much lithium & cobalt will be recycled by ?

Cumulatively, recycling could supply about 105 kt of lithium (LCE), nickel, cobalt and manganese by , with volumes potentially more than tripling to 390 kt by . These recovered materials could meet 11%-19% of the demand from EVs and ESS by and 19%-53% by , depending on the metal and evolving battery chemistries.

Will recycled cobalt meet the demand for EV batteries?

By already, recycled cobalt could meet up to 19% of the demand. As batteries with legacy chemistries higher in cobalt content reach end of life and cobalt demand from EV and ESS batteries start plateauing around , the share of recycled cobalt relative to total demand is projected to double to 40% by and reach 53% by .

Will NMC dominate the battery market in ?

The high nickel content improves the capacity of the materials and, for instance, increases that of an NMC 811 by almost 50% compared to NMC 111 to about 200 mAh/g (Research Interfaces ). It is predicted that NMC with various compositions will dominate 75% of the battery market in (Zhao ). 3.2.1. Medium-Ni materials

Will battery chemistry reduce cobalt reliance?

Although battery chemistry is evolving to reduce cobalt reliance, McKinsey forecasts a 7.5% annual increase in absolute cobalt demand until . This growth highlights issues around sourcing transparency and price volatility, with companies prioritising ethical and sustainable practices in response.

When will high-nickel NMC batteries be recycled?

As European gigafactories scale up production of high-nickel NMC batteries, significant volumes of production scrap are expected to become available for recycling in the late 2020s. By the early 2030s, recycled nickel is expected to cover 12% of demand.
