Based on the work, Keliber’s lithium hydroxide will have a smaller carbon footprint than most of the competitors’ products. More than half of the electricity from the Finnish national grid is generated from renewable energy sources. In a life cycle assessment (LCA), Keliber’s total carbon footprint is 10.0 tonnes/produced tonne.

The cheapest renewable power projects in the first half of 2022 were able to achieve an LCOE of $19/MWh, as in best-in-class onshore wind farms in Brazil, and $21/MWh for tracking PV farms in Chile, and $57/MWh for offshore wind in Denmark. These cost hikes mark a rough patch for renewables, but not an inflection point.

The Front-Loading Net Zero report states that electricity production costs could be reduced by up to 50% by 2050 if countries and states adopt 100% renewable systems faster than currently planned. Utilities should keep repeating steps 1 - 3 until their systems run on 80 – 90% renewables.

Price doubling from 2014/2015 was first seen in China and is now being felt worldwide, with lithium hydroxide prices from $16-20 and carbonate prices from $12-14 thousand USD per ton. In some locations, grid-scale peaking applications have already been implemented, often in old coal power plants, re-using the building and grid connections.

Even if electricity is produced from burning coal, the power plant is far away from population centers, transferred over power lines keeping any direct pollution away from the population. And the percentage of clean energy is growing every year as coal and gas plants are being replaced by renewable energy sources.

With all this, consumers and policymakers alike are hopeful that society will soon greatly reduce its carbon emissions by replacing today’s cars with electric vehicles. 70 percent of lithium-ion batteries are produced in China, which derived 64 percent of its electricity from coal in 2020. But coal use varies, even within China.
