Will manganese demand outpace the demand for battery-grade materials?
Meanwhile, the supply of manganese is projected to grow moderately through , but an increasing demand for battery-grade material is likely to outpace supply, requiring the development of new refineries.
Will battery chemistry reduce cobalt reliance?
Although battery chemistry is evolving to reduce cobalt reliance, McKinsey forecasts a 7.5% annual increase in absolute cobalt demand until . This growth highlights issues around sourcing transparency and price volatility, with companies prioritising ethical and sustainable practices in response.
Should EV libs be changed from cobalt-rich to nickel-rich cathode materials?
Therefore, it should be considered to change the cathode materials from cobalt-rich towards nickel-rich and Fe- and Mn-based cathode materials. The transition to other cell chemistries like Fe- and Mn-based materials can significantly reduce the pressure on Co and Ni demand. This would result in lower raw material use for EV LIBs.
