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.
While the lithium-ion battery supply chain will likely remain Chinese-dominated until 2030, a European CRM supply security policy and other global supply diversification policies are picking up. Re-shoring activities create opportunities for Europe to strengthen the resilience of its lithium supply chain and to become more self-sufficient.
It addresses technology development, EU research and innovation activities, global and EU markets and market players and assesses the competitiveness of the EU battery sector and its positioning in the global battery market. The focus is on sodium-ion, redox-flow, metal-air and zinc batteries.
The European Battery Alliance, launched by the Commission in 2017, aims to build an innovative, sustainable and globally competitive battery value chain in Europe. Its goal is to ensure the supply of batteries needed for decarbonising the transport and energy sectors.
In May 2018, as part of the third 'Europe on the move' mobility package, it adopted a dedicated strategic action plan on batteries, with a range of measures covering raw materials extraction, sourcing and processing, battery materials, cell production, battery systems, reuse and recycling.
“Our R&D team is pushing the limits to develop lithium foil products with thicknesses below 20μm. This will further improve energy density, lower solid-state battery costs, and encourage broader adoption of solid-state batteries,” Ha added. Tianqi Lithium’s commitment to sustainability extends to battery recycling and reuse.

The 2018 MRE estimated an annual production of 12,000 tonnes of battery-grade lithium hydroxide. This equates to a mine life of at least 35 years and would produce enough lithium for up to 800,000 electric car batteries a year. However, based on the revised MRE, this number is expected to be significantly higher.
This world of lithium has been growing extremely fast in the past three or four years. But there is an experimental process for lithium production that, if successfully scaled up, could produce battery-grade lithium with minimal …

Major lithium producer, Albermarle, released a graph of its forecast for lithium demand as well as that of other market commentators, which showed a steep climb over the coming years, beyond the level of supply currently produced. Lithium carbonate equivalent prices $/tonne (global weighted average)
Lithium-ion battery prices are forecast to drop almost 50%9 over the next 20 years. For European OEMs, a surplus in local supply will allow access to low prices, bolstering the trend of falling EV prices in the coming years. This is because manufacturers are unlikely to be able to maintain
The feasibility study of the company European Lithium, originally planned for 2019, will be carried out this year, and lithium mining will not begin before the end of 2022/beginning of 2023, CEO Dietrich Wanke said. The coming years will show whether this mine will make Austria a player in the European battery supply chain.
