Cornell study examines trade-off between critical metals requirement and transportation decarbonization

Green Car Congress

Among the researchers’ suggestions for managing this demand: Constructing a circular economy would be indispensable to the critical metals if it achieved a closed-loop supply chain in the future. Zhang et al. Monotonic growth in global demand for critical metals to 2050 is the most prevalent trend. Resources Chunbo Zhang et al.

These developments could take the energy density of lithium-ion cells close to 300 Wh/kg. Peter Bruce of EastChem to investigate the future trajectory of batteries cost and performance. It results in a higher cost per kWh for a PHEV compared to pure battery electric vehicle. Li-ion technology and cost directions through 2030.
