🔋 The #lithiumion battery is set to play a fundamental role in the shift towards #cleanenergy. ♻️ As a result, sustainability credentials across the supply chain are under growing scrutiny. Increased legislation around #criticalmineral supply chains is driving more sustainable, localised, lower-carbon production. Our new Special Issue presents Benchmark's analysis on sustainability's significant influence on the #battery supply chain. Request here ➡️ https://lnkd.in/eSHrx3h8 This Special Issue draws from Benchmark's extensive sustainability analysis, ranging across material-specific ESG Reports, Life Cycle Assessments and our Battery Emissions Analyser.

🔋 Lithium ion battery cell prices over the decade 🔋 The previous decade has seen the #lithiumion battery supply chain scale at an unprecidented rate, entering the terawatt hour era for the first time in 2023. This scaling of cell production, via the new generation of battery #Gigafactories, contributed to lithium ion cell prices falling by 73% since 2014. As average cell prices dropped below $100/kWh for the first time in 2021, #electricvehicles began approaching cost parity with internal combustion engine vehicles. 📉 Moreover, the low price environment for a number of battery minerals has spurred cell prices to drop to their lowest recorded levels this year. This Visual Capitalist infographic utilises Benchmark data to illustrate the average lithium ion battery cell price over the past decade.

📣 Mining giant Rio Tinto has announced it will acquire Arcadium Lithium in a cash deal worth $6.7 billion. Combined, Rio Tinto and Arcadium could become the third largest lithium miner globally by 2030 if their projects come to fruition, according to Benchmark’s Lithium Forecast. The counter-cyclical deal comes as #lithium prices have fallen by more than 60% over the last 12 months, according to Benchmark’s Lithium Price Assessment. “Rio is making its move when lithium prices are relatively low,” said Dr Cameron Perks, Benchmark's Product Director for Lithium. “This shows confidence in long-term lithium demand, suggesting that Rio sees the current market conditions as an opportunity rather than a risk.” Read more on Benchmark Source ➡️ https://lnkd.in/djKWZpD7 #mining #criticalminerals

Benchmark high energy #anode prices tick downwards 📉 Between mid-August and mid-September 2024, both synthetic and natural #graphite anode prices fell by 4.5% and 3% m-o-m, respectively. Cell manufacturers opting to draw from their inventories reduced demand for additional anode material. Moreover, amid an oversupplied market, project capacity developments continue to emerge in China. Learn more about Benchmark's Anode Price Assessment ➡️ https://lnkd.in/enUWEKTW
