It compares this with the raw materials needed to run a fossil fuel car to show that electric car batteries need significantly less raw materials. The report also shows that on a systemic level Europe’s overreliance on oil imports far outweighs those of battery raw materials, helping Europe to become self-sufficient in batteries. Key findings:
Indeed, battery manufacturers require a safe and reliable supply of several raw materials, such as lithium, cobalt and nickel, that are not largely available in Europe . For these reasons, the SET-Plan is pushing towards the development of alternative batteries based on non-critical materials like sodium. ... ...
The exponential growth of the batteries market expected in Europe and worldwide during the next decades, especially when considering electric mobility , implies the problem of supplying critical raw materials which is particularly relevant for Europe .
Undeniably, securing sustainability in batteries should not focus only on the end of life (EoL) but throughout the life cycle of the batteries. Additionally, the responsibility of establishing circularity in batteries should not depend solely on industries and producers but should involve consumers as well.
batteries is technically feasible (Podias et al., 2018) and can bring life cycle environmental benefits. Richa et al., 2015). However, extending the lifetim e of batteries through second use can decrease the amount of secondary raw materials recirculating in the EU economy (Bobba et al., 2019). In any case,
Batteries are often regarded as a green technology when compared to fossil fuels, but they do generate GHG emissions in a direct or indirect way throughout their life cycle, with manufacturing phase (mining and processing raw materials) being a significant contributor to these emissions.
