Battery raw materials analyst, Jordan Roberts, discusses whether unconventional lithium extraction will be able to satisfy current lithium supply/demand challenges

Junior lithium start-up, Green Lithium, will aim to produce 50,000 tonnes per year of battery-grade lithium to meet 6% of the EU and UK’s 2030 battery requirements

Black mass will be increasingly valuable as recycling technology improves, Benoit Couture, the president of lithium-ion battery recycling company Lithion Recycling, told Fastmarkets in an exclusive interview

Key talking points among delegates at Fastmarkets’ Battery Raw Materials conference in Barcelona, Spain, September 20-21

Emilie Bodoin, founder and CEO of Pure Lithium, explains how lithium metal batteries differ from other battery chemistries in the energy transition, as well as the challenges to producing a commercially-viable and truly solid-state battery for use in electric vehicles

New electric vehicle (EV) battery plant announcements have exploded in the United States, however critical supply chain questions remain unsolved

Competition to establish market share in the battery-grade manganese sulfate market in China is heating up, with expected growth in the electric vehicle (EV) market driving new participants into the sector so far in 2022

While huge investments are being made to design, manufacture and improve electric vehicles, solutions to the means of charging rapidly growing numbers of them are needed too

The sharp rise in battery raw material prices has amplified the cost difference between nickel-based CAMs and LFP, increasing interest in LFP-powered electric vehicles

As the world-wide push to electrify transport gains momentum, potential pitfalls have become apparent. The large-scale charging of electric vehicles, for example, risks overloading power grids and may not be sustainable, battery innovator Dr. Avishek Kumar told Fastmarkets in an interview
