TESLA Gigafactory 5.000 t/a Li for car batteries
8.000 t/a Li for PowerWall batteries
Li resources / Cost: ~13.000 t/a Li are currently produced for world market of Li ion batteries
Why alternatives to Li?
Cobalt supply chain: Co production is falling in 2016 and may be declining further
Co is heavily associated with children labour
Estimated 10 more gigafactories are under consideration worldwide
5 © HIU| 19 Sep 2016
Estimated capacity of new mega-/gigafactories for Li ion batteries worldwide, with $20bn committed to creating new factories (from: http://benchmarkminerals.com).
Where is the future Li battery production?

Systems Beyond Li
Fluoride Ion Battery
Chloride Ion Battery
Magnesium Battery
Sodium Ion Battery
Anionic Shuttles
Cationic Shuttles
Zinc battery
Calcium Battery
Aluminum Battery
„multivalent shuttles“
Partly great promises for improving sustainability, cost, safety, energy density
but no system commercialized, yet, due to novelty and scientific/technical obstacles

Facts about post Li systems

Take home message
• As Li costs increase there will be greater demand for batteries based on alternative materials.
• Will the EU be a leader or follower ?
• To lead we need
• Greater engagement from Industry in R & D
• Investment and commitment from the EU to promote non Li ion battery development over a long period (> 20 years)
• Incentivise research institutes and universities to Patent before Publishing

Mg
Mg offers good handling and operational safety.
No dendrite formation with Mg metal as anode major safety issue with Li metal batteries.
Mg is naturally 1000x more abundant on earth than Li.
Mg/S offers theoretical 3200 Wh/L compared to theoretical 2800 Wh/L for Li/S
But: Sulfur cathode needs non-nucleophilic electrolyte for Mg!
