However, the current manufacturing processes for lithium-ion batteries involve over a dozen intricate steps, employing heavy equipment and consuming substantial energy 2. Significant amounts of greenhouse gas emissions are generated from the consumed electricity and fossil fuels.
Nature Energy 8, 1180–1181 (2023) Cite this article Lithium-ion battery manufacturing is energy-intensive, raising concerns about energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions amid surging global demand.
The lithium-ion battery manufacturing process is a journey from raw materials to the power sources that energize our daily lives. It begins with the careful preparation of electrodes, constructing the cathode from a lithium compound and the anode from graphite.
The meta-analysis indicated that the energy consumption in LIB cell production varied widely between 350 and 650 MJ/kWh, as is largely caused by battery production. They state that “mining and refining seem to contribute a relatively small amount to the current life cycle of the battery” (Romare & Dahllöf, 2017).
Cathode component is, with 46%−70% for NCM/NCA cells and 33%−46% for LFP cells, the biggest contributor to GHG emissions of lithium-ion battery cell production until 2050. Understanding the future environmental impacts of lithium-ion batteries is crucial for a sustainable transition to electric vehicles.
