- Abstract
A complete circular economy for the battery raw materials lithium, cobalt, and nickel will only be possible in several decades. According to a study by the University of Münster, China is expected to be the first country to meet the demand for these raw materials through recycling, followed by Europe and the USA. The lithium demand for electric cars can be met through recycling in China from 2059, in Europe and the USA only after 2070. For cobalt, this will be possible in China at the earliest by 2045, in Europe by 2052, and in the USA from 2056. For nickel, this will be possible in China at the earliest by 2046, in Europe from 2058, and in the USA from 2064. The study is based on dynamic material flow analysis using data from current research and market forecasts.
