Lithium Ecosystem Evolution: Data-Driven Insights from Mine-to-Market
Irene Berry, Director, Lithium Data Science, Albemarle
Decarbonization of transportation and greening of power generation is driving rapid expansion of lithium-ion battery production and therefore demand for the lithium that enables them. We will present our data-driven methodology for tracking this accelerating demand and the lithium market's response. As the lithium ecosystem continues to evolve over the next decade, our agile analyses provide insight into lithium's present and future.
A Sustainable Lithium Supply to Support the Fast EV Growth
Yuan Gao, Independent Board Director, Lithium Americas Corporation
The electrification of transportation as we are witnessing now has triggered a significant growth in LIBs year over year, and with it a significant increase in demand for lithium. The mere increase this year is about the same as the total supply about 10 years ago, and it is expected that it will require a 10X increase to meet the demand in about 10 years. What can the lithium industry do to meet this challenge will be discussed at this presentation.
Carbon and Water Neutral Lithium Production: SQM's Innovation Roadmap and Sustainable Development Plan
Stefan Debruyne, Director, Business Development, Lithium, SQM International
Lithium is an essential element in the global energy transition. It's critically important to stakeholders that it is mined in a sustainable and equitable way. Besides an update on SQM's progress on its Sustainable Development Plan, SQM's Innovation Roadmap toward water-neutral lithium production will be presented. Additionally, global lithium demand and SQM's expansion plan will be updated.

The Need and Difficulties Involved in Developing Battery Material Supply Chains in North America
Kimberly Berman, Special Projects Analyst, Equity Research, BMO Capital Markets
As EV sales continue to accelerate and the many national and regional decarbonization plans come to fruition, the lack of cohesive and secure battery material supply chains and other essential raw materials has created numerous bottlenecks that have yet to be resolved. European battery manufacturers and OEMs have been tackling this issue with varying degrees of success for some time, but the U.S. has been lagging despite recent announcements and there are many legal and jurisdictional issues that need to be considered to secure a consistent supply of the necessary materials. This presentation will compare and contrast the difficulties in re-shoring battery grade raw material production in North America compared to other regions and describe the regulatory and jurisdictional layers involved.
Australia as an Energy Storage Powerhouse
Adam S. Best, Principal Research Scientist, CSIRO Manufacturing
In this presentation we will present some case studies of activities that have been completed in Australia to maximise the potential of Australia’s mineral endowment, specifically in the production of lithium, nickel / cobalt pre-cursors and cathode materials, natural graphite and HPA. We will also describe how we are developing more sustainable processes, underpinned by Australia’s strong regulatory framework, in the development of these value-added materials. We will describe the increasing challenge of discovering and processing primary mineral supply, and the importance of secondary resources. And lastly, we can demonstrate Australia’s capability to operate the world’s longest (transmission) network with 100% renewable energy as a proposed Renewable Energy Powerhouse.

GLOBAL MARKET DEMAND FOR BATTERY RAW MATERIALS
世界の電池原材料の市場需要

Two next-generation smart passive components-a metal/polymer current collector (CC) and a nanoporous ceramic separator (NPORE®)-have been developed to enhance the safety and performance of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). The composite CC functions as a fuse that prevents thermal runaway events, whereas NPORE®, equipped with nanopores, further augments inherent cell safety. The combination of the two components offers an innovative safety solution for various types of LIBs.

Creating a Circular Battery Supply Chain to Reduce Carbon Emissions
David Klanecky, President & CEO, Cirba Solutions
As the landscape of the battery supply chain continues to change, only a focus on sustainable solutions will be able to meet the changing needs required to close the loop. A commitment to both recycling and cathode production is at the forefront of a circular battery supply chain and will assist in carbon reduction efforts. Learn about recycling initiatives that are focused on maximum material recovery. In addition, we’ll discuss a method of cathode production technology that significantly reduces the carbon footprint compared to traditional methods.

Acquisition versus Sustainability for Lithium Battery Elements
Walter van Schalkwijk, PhD, Affiliate Professor, University of Washington; Principal, Battery Sciences, Inc.
Previously, I have talked about critical elements and sustainability in the context of lithium (ion) batteries. This presentation discusses acquisition of these elements in required amounts and quality and what it will take to sustain the industry’s use of Li, F, P, Co, Ni, Mn, Cu, Al, Si, and Cgraphite. Needs per GWh, modes of acquisition, and can sustainability be approached are questions addressed. Also discussed: energy costs of acquiring these elements, incorporating them into a battery, energy delivered versus the cost of replacing “spent” batteries, and the ability of recycling and reuse to improve the energy and materials balance.
Tracking Flows of End-of-Life Battery Materials and Manufacturing Scrap
Linda L. Gaines, PhD, Transportation Systems Analyst, Energy Systems, Argonne National Laboratory
There has been much analysis of supply chains for battery raw materials. But flows of end-of-life material and manufacturing scrap have not received nearly as much attention. This material is a crucial factor in current and future material supply, and requires careful analysis. Many companies claim that they recycle batteries, but operations they perform differ widely from simply sorting material and passing along to another company, to actually processing and recovering -materials suitable for use in new batteries. In addition, manufacturing scrap, which is currently available in much larger quantity, is often added into the mix. Much of the material in the US and Europe is eventually exported and not recycled locally at all. This presentation will provide some quantitative estimate of these complex materials flows.

If a Lithium-ion Cell Can Operate for More Than 6 Months at 85°C How Long Can It Last at Ambient Temperature?
Jeff Dahn, FRSC, PhD, Professor of Physics and Atmospheric Science, NSERC/Tesla Canada Industrial Research Chair, Canada Research Chair, Dalhousie University
In a few of our recent papers, we have presented Li-ion cell designs with liquid electrolytes that give astounding lifetime at temperatures as high as 85°C. In fact, we have been testing these cells now at 100°C and they are operating well for more than one month so far. I will discuss what is required to make such awesome cells and then consider what their lifetime at ambient temperature might be. I will show that the energy density of these cells is very reasonable and that Co-free moderate-nickel designs also work equally well.
Next-Generation Batteries - An Update on Li Metal Battery and All Solid-State Battery
Shirley Meng, PhD, Professor, University of Chicago; Chief Scientist, Argonne Collaborative Center for Energy Storage Science, Argonne National Laboratory
With the recent success in deploying lithium-ion batteries for light-duty passenger cars, it is time for researchers and scientists to work on a road map of next-generation batteries beyond lithium-ion. In this talk, I will give an update on the current status of research efforts in enabling lithium metal batteries and all solid-state batteries. A few cutting-edge scientific tools will be introduced, including X-ray CT, Cryo-EM, Titration GC, and more, all aimed at quantitative understanding of the failure mechanisms of next-gen batteries.
