It's 5 years since Circular Energy Storage started to collect data on the end-of-life market for lithium-ion batteries. A common theme has been the dominance of China. Our latest patent update just published on CES Online shows that little has changed. circularenergystorage.com/ces-online

CES Online provides data on the reuse and recycling markets for lithium-ion batteries. We recently added a new option for limited access for projects. Look out for interesting updates coming weeks starting with a new assessment of production waste volumes. circularenergystorage.com/ces-online

Today we are launching our first detailed bottom-up forecast for battery production scrap, a highly debated area of battery recycling. We start the coverage by cutting our own previous (high level) forecast to less than half. Here we explain why: circularenergystorage.com/articles/2022/…

In 2030 we estimate that more than 47M EVs will be placed on the market. How many of these could be made by 100% recycled materials? The answer: not that many.

That recycling of lithium is not profitable is an old truth that hasn't aged very well. Today it's driving the global battery recycling industry. Still many markets lack access to efficient lithium recovery leading to big differences in prices for scrap cells around the world.

The capacity in the battery recycling industry is growing much faster than the amount of scrap available to recycle. Our latest update is available for CES Online subscribers now. Not a subscriber? Learn more about our data here: circularenergystorage.com
