As governments worldwide get serious about #decarbonizing their economies, demand for cheap, safe, high-performance, long-lasting, and low-carbon-footprint #batteries will soar, most notably from the #automotive industry. There will likely be a severe but temporary global #battery shortage by 2025 due to a sharp increase in demand for electric vehicles (#EVs) and a shortage of mined and refined battery metals. However, the industry is investing heavily to prevent this from becoming a sustained threat by reducing its use of scarce materials, developing new materials and #battery #technologies, and, most importantly, creating a global #battery #recycling industry. #EnergyTransition #Innovation #urbanmobility #futuremobility #electricvehicles #automotive https://lnkd.in/gPixJGxp
