According to a Benchmark forecast, more than 300 new mines could need to be built by 2035 to meet the demand for electric vehicle and energy storage batteries. At least 384 new mines for graphite, lithium, nickel and cobalt are required to meet demand by this year.
Despite the trend, the report cautions that the surge in global demand for EV batteries still increases total cobalt demand this decade. The IEA believes that to meet the projected demand in 2030 in the Stated Policies Scenario, 41 nickel and 11 additional cobalt mines are needed – a significant scaling up of the current project pipeline.
National Grid plugs TagEnergy’s 100MW battery project in at its Drax substation. Following energisation, the facility in North Yorkshire is the UK’s largest transmission connected battery energy storage system (BESS). The facility is supporting Britain’s clean energy transition, and helping to ensure secure operation of the electricity system.
The IEA says upstream mineral extraction can cause significant bottlenecks unless adequate investments are delivered well in advance. “It appears that EV battery metals demand in the Stated Policies Scenario will likely be met for all metals up to 2025 if announced new supply comes online as scheduled.”
A battery storage project developed by TagEnergy is now connected and energised on the electricity transmission network, following work by National Grid to plug the facility into its 132kV Drax substation in North Yorkshire.
