The data used in this article comes from the BEMA2020 (grant number 03XP0272B) and BETSY (grant number 03XP0540B) research projects, which are funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research. Recycling capacities for lithium-ion batteries in Europe will increase to 330,000 tonnes per year by 2026.
With the EV revolution in full swing, Europe is rapidly advancing its lithium battery manufacturing capabilities. Local producers like Basquevolt, Inobat, and LG Energy Solution are spearheading efforts to meet EU regulations and ensure supply chain resilience against geopolitical tensions.
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. Enhancing circularity along the battery value chains has potential to decrease EU’s supply dependency.
The EU does have the potential to source lithium inside its own borders, in countries including Portugal, Czechia and Spain. However, most project plans have met with strong opposition at the local level. The Czech lithium deposit is especially important because it is now considered the largest in Europe.
