The flows of automotive lithium-ion batteries in Brazil It was estimated that 3600 new automotive LIBs were put on the market in new EC in Brazil, in 2019 (Figure S4).
In the matter of lithium production, Brazil is in the top five country producers, as indicated by the World Economic Forum in January 2023, and has a huge potential to produce sustainable lithium, capable of exporting 130,000 tons of “green lithium” by year-end.
Battery cells, not currently manufactured in Brazil, are the “missing link” in the supply chain of the world’s fifth-largest lithium producer. The nation assembles battery packs and systems and its carmakers have electric vehicle (EV) lines. The Fuel for the Future bill, to decarbonize Brazil’s roads, should also boost the mineral sector.
Moreover, the second largest EV battery maker, the Chinese company BYD, opened operations for its first battery factory in Brazil in August 2023. In addition to the EVs, the Chinese company will produce electric buses in Brazil, using the batteries manufactured in the country.
According to Dias et al. (2018), recycling of secondary batteries in Brazil is limited to the initial stages of disassembly and separation, while the most complex components, rich in valuable metals, are mostly exported for processing abroad (USA, Belgium, Japan, the Netherlands, Singapore, Germany and Canada).
Lithium is a lightweight metal that provides high energy density—it can concentrate more energy per unit volume than the nickel-cadmium batteries used in early mobile phones and laptop computers, or the conventional lead-acid batteries used to start internal combustion vehicles.
