A T&E study finds battery recycling is Europe’s chance for resource sufficiency and a low-impact supply chain. More recycled battery materials - cobalt, lithium, manganese and nickel - will come from the electric cars (EV) stock and planned battery gigafactories across Europe.
For the UK alone, volumes of EV batteries for recycling are expected to reach 28,000t by 2030, rising to 235,000t in 2040. Around 1400 vehicles a day, half a million/year, are expected to become available for recycling by 2040, says Abbott. Infographic showing the minerals found in an electric vehicle (EV) battery.
Volume 10, Issue 13, 15 July 2024, e33800 In recent years, new energy vehicles (NEVs) have taken the world by storm. A large number of NEV batteries have been scrapped, and research on NEV battery recycling is important for promoting the sustainable development of NEVs.
A huge opportunity exists for lithium ion battery recycling in the UK. 140GWh worth of cell production capability, representing 567,000 tonnes of cell production, requiring 131,000 tonnes of cathodic metals. Recycling can supply 22% of this demand (assuming a 60% recycling rate and 40% reuse or remanufacture).
Recycling can supply 22% of this demand (assuming a 60% recycling rate and 40% reuse or remanufacture). ► The break-even point for an automotive lithium ion battery recycling plant is 2,500 – 3,000 tonnes per year if the chemistry contains nickel and cobalt.
The selection of recycling channels is an important aspect of NEV battery recycling. The battery recycling rate is a key factor affecting the competitive position of NEV manufacturers . Battery endurance and advertising effects within the supply chain also affect the choice of recycling channels and recycling prices .
