HomeStudy on future demand and supply security of nickel for electric vehicle batteries
Publication metadata
The objective of this report is to provide recommendations for long-term supply security of nickel suitable for nickel sulphate production and subsequent use in electric vehicle batteries. Eight Roskill nickel market, lithium-ion battery supply-chain and automotive sector experts analysed the European Union’s i) ability to source and captively provide its own nickel units internally, and ii) strategic approach to establishing a nickel circular economy for EV batteries. Roskill provides a detailed outlook for nickel across a twenty-year forecast horizon to 2040. Firstly, at a global level, and second by placing the EU within the global context, though primarily focussing on automotive sector nickel demand. The following study areas were covered: - Forecast Class I (and suitable intermediate product) supply/demand balances - Identify what bottlenecks exist in the nickel supply chain - Identify potential risks to Europe’s access/ability to secure long-term supply - Determine “best course of action” strategies for supply risk mitigation and the criticality of circular economy establishment - Provide potential avenues for policy direction derived from the study findings.
