State of Play and Roadmap Concept: Mobility Sector

Meeting the Paris Agreement’s goals requires transformation in the mobility sector. Battery electric vehicle technology today offers a promising technology to  achieve the necessary changes and transform the sector. Yet this transformation goes hand in hand with a significant increase in the raw material demand for lithium-ion batteries.

This document provides an overview on the current status of the mobility sector,focusing on three selected value-chain steps for lithium-ion batteries – raw material mining, battery cell production and battery recycling – and four relevant materials: ithium, cobalt, nickel and graphite.
