RECYCLING IS NOT OPTIONAL LiBs pose many risks including: Fire Risk Pollution (GHG) Landfill Material Circular Shortages Economy These risks have As a result, many EU Battery EOL vehicle Mandatory led to concerns countries have Directive – directive – more recycling in over the storage, imposed recycling ‘producers’ must than 85% to be California - no transport, disposal, regulations in order recycle or acquit reused and landfill dumping. ethical supply and to help reduce the same amount. recycled. sustainability of these risks. these batteries. 4
SPENT LIBS ARE VALUABLE Expired LiBs are made up of valuable raw materials that can be recovered and re-used EV Battery Cathode Market Share Forecast NMC 811 Value Source: Dartan Commodities; Argus Source: Vale and LME & Metalary.com pricing as at 18th June 2020 5
RECYCLING IS THE KEY TO SECURING THE SUPPLY CHAIN World Lithium ion battery mega- Mega factory impact on raw materials factory capacity 2020-2028 Raw Materials demand vs Global Lithium Ion cell/mega-factory capacity Source: Benchmark Minerals Intelligence The data in this chart does not constitute a forecast, and assumes 100% utilisation rates 6
RECYCLING IS THE KEY TO SECURING AN ETHICAL SUPPLY “Recycling plays pivotal role in securing battery supply chains…the region that leads battery technology and secures the supply chain will have outsized geo-economic and development influence.” Science Magazine Oct 2019 7
HYDRO-RECOVERY RECYCLING H AS THE LOWEST CARBON FOOTPRINT o Comparisons between ICE Raw Material CO2 Savings – Traditional Mining vs Pyromet and Hydromet Battery and EV emissions are Recycling complex. o EV recharging with coal powered electrons doesn’t provide clear emissions advantage. To ensure EV lifetime emissions are low, countries can decarbonise electricity and car manufacturers can recycle carbon intensive batteries. Source: Duesenfield 8
TAILWINDS – THE TREND TOWARDS DE-CARBONISATION IS DRIVING DEMAND FOR LIBS Demand and adoption of EV and ESS increases as the economics of de-carbonisation becomes more viable o Paris Agreement target o EU Green deal – One trillion Euro of investment between 2021-2027 to achieve no net emissions of GHG by 2050 o Trend towards phasing out ICE vehicles nation by nation This creates mountains of scrap / spent LiBs, impacting the value chain. 3.
