Suggestions on the short supply of lithium battery energy storage in china

How resilient is the lithium supply chain under new energy vehicles?

The simulation results show that the lithium supply chain is less resilient under the impact of new energy vehicles. Furthermore, the resilience of the lithium supply chain is good under the risk of short-term supply interruption, but worse under long-term supply interruption.

How will China's Lithium-ion battery sector cope with a low-carbon transition?

A comprehensive dynamic material flow analysis of lithium flows in China's battery sector The low-carbon transition requires widespread adoption of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), which rely on critical raw materials. Lithium (Li) demand is expected to increase 10-fold by 2050 globally, raising concerns over the sustainability of future supply.

Do new energy vehicles affect China's lithium supply chain?

Conclusions The development of new energy vehicles has brought demand impact to China’s lithium supply chain and geopolitical changes have increased the risk of lithium supply interruption. The economic importance and supply risks of lithium resources have increased.

What is the resilience of lithium supply chain?

The poor resilience of the lithium supply chain is mainly manifested as follows. Under the impact of low demand (NPS), the lithium supply chain exhibits fluctuation in the short-term and industrial instability in the long-term. Under the impact of high demand (EV30@30), the lithium supply chain has a long-term supply shortage.

Is the lithium supply chain still in short supply?

As shown in Fig. 8, in 2019 the lithium supply chain is still in short supply, but the gap between supply and demand is rapidly shrinking because of the large-scale construction of production capacity. In 2021, the price reached the lowest value.

Why is China the spatial boundary of the lithium supply chain model?

The model is focus on assessing the coping ability of the lithium supply chain under the risk, and we make China as the spatial boundary of the model, because maintaining the supply chain resilience of China’s new energy vehicles is very important to the industrial safety of China’s new energy vehicles.
