But the EU is not a lithium producer. It relies on imports (78% comes from Chile, 8% from the US and 4% from Russia) so a big question for Europe is how it will source the extra needed.

Despite the smaller supply of lithium, a study earlier this year in the Journal of the Indian Institute of Science found that less than 1 percent of Lithium-ion batteries get recycled in the US and EU compared to 99 percent of lead-acid batteries,
Here, to explore the impacts of the EU''s proposed recycled content (RC) targets on battery material circularly, we develop a comprehensive material flow analysis model for the EU''s lithium-ion batteries and consider different climate targets and battery chemistries, lifespans, and repurposing rates. Results show that achieving the EU''s RC
According to a briefing prepared for the EU Parliament in 2021, Europe will need access to 18 times more lithium by 2030 and 60 times more by 2050, to meet projected demand for electric vehicles, which predominantly
nd battery market are also becoming noticeable in Europe. In Europe, ACC, AESC, CATL, LG Energy Solution, Northvolt, Samsung SDI and SK On produce lithium-ion cells (LIB) for
Underlying this conflict is a growing trade war between China and the EU that has taken the form of domestic policies and multilateral trade agreements that seek to reduce China''s dominant role in the production of lithium-ion batteries (Bridge and Faigen, 2022; Chang and Bradsher, 2023; Torjesen, 2024).
"If we don''t change how we make materials, how we make chemicals, how we manufacture, everything will essentially stay the same," Shao-Horn says. Batteries'' bigger impact. Despite the environmental footprint of manufacturing lithium-ion batteries, this technology is much more climate-friendly than the alternatives, Shao-Horn says.
The EU can end its reliance on China for lithium-ion battery cells by 2027, Transport & Environment (T&E) has forecast. Europe is on track to produce enough Li-ion cells by then to fully meet domestic demand for electric vehicles and energy storage, according to the new analysis of battery-makers'' announcements.
To do this, the EU needs to get the carbon out of its transport sector, which produces around a quarter of its CO2 emissions. The plan is to replace fossil fuel cars with electric ones, but this will require large amounts of lithium, an essential component in electric car batteries. However, Europe doesn''t produce lithium on its own. Instead
Lithium battery makers in Europe are working hard to localise production and meet EU regulatory goals while protecting their supply chains from geopolitical disruption. Marcus Williams talks to Basquevolt, Inobat and LG
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.

Lithium-ion batteries power many electric cars, bikes and scooters. When they are damaged or overheated, they can ignite or explode. Four engineers explain how to handle these devices safely.
According to a briefing prepared for the EU Parliament in 2021, Europe will need access to 18 times more lithium by 2030 and 60 times more by 2050, to meet projected demand for electric vehicles, which predominantly use lithium-powered batteries.
Lithium makes up about 0.0007% of the world''s crust, and, although it was added to the EU''s list of critical raw materials in 2020, Schmidt says lithium isn''t actually considered rare. It is

Pushed by increasingly stringent CO2 emission performance standards, production capacity of lithium-ion battery cells is developing rapidly within the EU-27 and could rise from 44 gigawatt hours in 2020 to approximately 1 200 by 2030.

A whopping 2.2 million litres of water is needed to produce one ton of lithium. Lithium-ion batteries are the most popular storage option today, controlling more than 90% of the global grid market
If someone can crack the hydrogen conundrum, though, it could easily become more popular than lithium-ion batteries. 2. Lithium-sulfur. This is hardly a futurist''s view into the deep future — lithium-sulfur batteries are coming and they could go on sale within a few years. That is, if better technology doesn''t come first.

However, it is likely that the EU will be import reliant to various degrees for primary and processed (batt-grade) materials. Australia and Canada are the two countries with the greatest potential to provide additional and low-risk supply to the EU for almost all battery raw materials.
They include South Korea’s LG Energy Solution. Its battery plant in Wrocław, Poland is currently Europe’s biggest producer of lithium batteries for passenger and commercial vehicles, with a current annual production capacity equal to 86 GWh and a goal to reach a maximum of 90 GWh by 2025.
