Until we are making our own batteries in the USA with North American raw materials & refined materials & recycled materials, the lithium-ion battery supply chain is not really green or sustainable.
China dominates the li-ion battery supply chain as RMP has written about before. The IEA consistently publishes information about lithium-ion batteries telling us the entire supply chain runs through China in a major way and the USA is decades behind China in terms of mining, raw material processing, and electrode manufacturing.
Downstream activities include manufacturing of the batteries and end goods for the consumer. The production of lithium batteries in China has nearly three times higher emissions than the US because electricity generation in China relies more on coal. End of life activities include recycling or recovery of materials when possible.
RMP has added a new GIS database to our map library called the Lithium-ion Battery Supply Chain Map. In April of 2024, RMP set out to understand the data underpinning the nascent lithium-ion battery supply chain in North America. Each year, more batteries are being manufactured helping to electrify our vehicle fleet and more growth is projected.
Taiwan is the world's largest producer of semiconductors. China dominates the electric car industry, accounting for three-quarters of global lithium-ion battery production.
