Supply Chain of Raw Materials Used in the Manufacturing of Light-Duty Vehicle Lithium-Ion Batteries

Tsisilile Igogo, Debra Sandor, Ahmad Mayyas, Jill Engel-Cox

Research output: NRELTechnical Report

Abstract

This report is a first attempt to integrate raw materials into the CEMAC benchmark framework. Benchmarking raw materials provides a broader view supply chain from mines to the manufacturer of clean energy technologies. This report provides insight into resource location and ownership, global production, demand, and trade, highlighting potential supply chain risks and opportunities. The report focuses on the lithium and cobalt supply chains. It serves as a foundation for incorporating the raw materials link for other clean energy technologies into future benchmark reports.
