Geo-political challenges in primary mining of Lithium &
Cobalt
Almost all the Lithium mined for Battery comes from Chile & Bolivia
Cobalt is largely mined in Congo and mostly by Children
Impact on human health
Solvents, Fluoride compounds, and micro plastic coming out of a dead battery damages vital organs of human body
Impact on the environment
• 8000-9000 MT of cobalt is losteach year due to Improper disposal of dead li-ion battery
• Lithium ion batteries are the most energy consuming technologies using the equivalent of 1.6kg of oil per kg of battery produced.
Recycling Lithium-ion batteries will help meet the Global Lithium demandRecycling is also beneficial for Geo-political, Health & Environmental reasons

Governments Across the Globe Have Announced Plans For Electrification of Vehicles
National fossil fuel vehicle bans are catching on
In June, India announced that it would end sales of gas and diesel cars by 2030
Recently, China announced its intention to phase out the production & sale of gas & diesel vehicles
In June, Norway agreed to end sales of gas and diesel cars by 2025. (Norway leads the world in EVs —
almost 40 percent of its newly registered vehicles were hybrid, electric, or hydrogen in 2017
Last year, the Dutch parliament voted through a motion to end all gas and diesel car sales by 2025 (it still
has to go through the Dutch senate)
In July, France announced it would end sales of gas and diesel cars by 2040
In July, Britain announced it would end sales of gas and diesel cars by 2040
In August, German Chancellor Angela Merkel hinted that her country would follow suit
In September, the Scottish government announced it would phase out gas and diesel cars by 2032
Dozens of other countries and states/provinces have their own targets for EVs
Car Manufacturers Are Either Moving Towards Electrification of Their Current Models Or Announcing Purely Electric New Models
Last year, Volkswagen announced that it would attempt to bring 30 or more BEVs to market by 2025, with a
target of 2 million to 3 million sold by that year, roughly 25 percent of its total sales
This year, the company upped the ante again, vowing to create EV versions of all 300 of its models
They took out a tender of Euro 50 Billion for forward purchase of cobalt for next 10 years
In March, Daimler (owner of Mercedes-Benz) announced it was accelerating its EV program and would have
10 new EVs to market by 2022
In July, Volvo announced that all its models introduced in 2019 and after would be hybrid or electric
In September, BMW announced that by 2025 it would have 12 new BEVs and 13 new hybrids on the road
Jaguar Land Rover announced that all of its new models from 2020 onward would be hybrid or electric
Ford plans to invest $4.5 billion and introduce 13 new electric vehicles globally in the next five year
General Motors announced that it is working toward an all-electric, zero-emissions future. That starts with
two new, fully electric models next year—then at least 18 more by 2023.
And of course there are companies like Tesla, which plan to sell 100 percent BEVs now and forever
EVs, the primary consumer of LIBs will see a over 30% CAGR in the near future, leading to aggressive demand of Li & Co
29
Based on announced plans for auto OEM of EVs, the lithium market is expected to grow over 15% per year until 2025
30
Cobalt, the second key ingredient is already in a deficit with supplies concentrated in DRC
Battery Manufacturers Have Already Planned To Up Their Li-ion Battery Production Capacities
Why is Li-Ion Battery Recycling Critical
India should be self reliant on all materials used in Li-Ion Batteries
Geo-Political Complications: China is capturing the majority of Li-Ion battery Materials and value chain
Forex: Reduce the import bill and save precious Forex ($40 Billion annually by 2030)
Supply Security: Mining alone cannot fulfill the demand for Li-Ion Battery materials if the targets set by GOI
have to be met
Environment: Save the environment by ensuring that EOL Li-Ion batteries are put to good use
Jobs: Create 2 Million Direct & Indirect jobs by 2030
World Leadership: Become the no 1 producer of Lithium Ion Battery Materials globally
