However, in the global battery recycling market, not a single recycling company has shown a business model that is both sustainable and profitable from a long-term perspective.
It is estimated that by 2040 recycling could contribute to up to 51% and 42% of Cobalt and Nickel EU demand, respectively. Demand 1 for battery raw materials is expected to increase dramatically over 2040 (Figure 1), following the exponential growth of electric vehicles (EV) and, to a minor degree, energy storage system (ESS) applications.
Fig. 1 demonstrates that three major wastes (battery, PV, and glass) can be considered as alternative raw material sources for new battery fabrication. Nevertheless, it is required to develop a series of processes (physical and chemical) for effective transformation of waste materials for new battery application.
All these wastes contain many high value battery materials, which can be extracted and processed for re-use again and again as economically viable effective raw materials for new battery application in a circular way. Currently, an organized comprehensive review focuses on circular energy materials recovered from waste resources is hardly found.
As battery-operated technologies are expanding enormously fast, battery raw materials are critical in terms of supply and demand. It is anticipated that battery raw materials preserved in the ores could face a supply crunch in the future. To minimize the future impact, alternative sources of battery raw materials are necessary.
By 2025, the EU domestic production of battery cells is expected to cover EU’s consumption needs for electric vehicles and energy storage. However, it is likely that the EU will be import reliant to various degrees for primary and processed (batt-grade) materials.
