Roskill: Niobium industry looking for a future beyond steel; Li-ion batteries a possibility

Green Car Congress

The niobium industry is aware of these issues and already looking for a future beyond steel, Roskill notes. The maximum power output and minimum charging time of a lithium-ion battery depend on both ionic and electronic transport. 2018) “Niobium tungsten oxides for high-rate lithium-ion energy storage.”

Roskill forecasts Li-ion battery demand to increase more than ten-fold by 2029 to >1,800GWh

Green Car Congress

Roskill forecasts that Li-ion battery demand will increase more than ten-fold by 2029, reaching in excess of 1,800GWh capacity. In the late 2020s, Li-ion technologies could see increasing competition from other battery technologies, though Li-ion cells are expected to maintain their dominant position, Roskill said.
