The develop a lithium ion economy, UK must target three major supplies of lithium ion batteries - Tesla? LG Chem? SK Innivation? CATL? Panasonic?
It must build in parallel giga-sized anode and cathode plants to fuel these super sized battery plants.
It must build in parallel giga-sized anode and cathode plants to fuel these super sized battery plants.
Raw materials; Then to feed the cathode and anode plants it must look to securing 25% of raw materials domestically where economically possible (raw materials to precursor chemicals). It must help early stage developers and innovators #lithium #cobalt #nickel #graphite #manganese
Raw Materials: the bulk (>75%) of lithium, cobalt, graphite, nickel, manganese concentrates and chemicals will need to come from abroad. Long term deals need to be done with Australia, Canada, Chile, Indonesia, African countries and more.
Building a Uk lithium ion economy: The UK has to has to be looking at 200GWh blueprint to start with. 2 x 100GWh phases.
