Fraunhofer Institute for Innovation and Systems Research Institute, 20 issued a statement, the institute said the survey of the future market demand for lithium minerals and found that even the most conservative estimates by 2050 the world’s known reserves of lithium ore, up to a maximum were found to consume about 20%. u4873,latitude d430 battery
Lithium ore is to create the essential raw materials, electric vehicle batteries. The Institute release noted that while the rapidly expanding global market for electric vehicles in 2050, when the private car occupied 50% of the total registration of new cars, along with other areas of lithium-demand after deduction from the recycling of lithium, then the time will be a maximum of consumption by about 20% of world reserves of lithium ore. Studies have shown, through recovery system for reuse of lithium is very impressive, able to meet 25% of the market demand.
The statement said although the market for electric vehicles in the future substantial growth in electric cars in 2050, representing 85% of motor vehicles newly registered reserves of lithium in the mineral sufficient to feed up to that date .
Although the circumstances are optimistic, but researchers have suggested that as soon as possible to build a more complete recycling of lithium, has developed a new non-lithium batteries,vgp-bpl2 , vgp-bps2 , vgp-bps2a, to try to save raw materials. In addition, lithium minerals found only in some countries as some countries in South America areas of ecological origin of the salt lake and parts of China, holding a degree of difficulty.
The researchers also noted that the ore of lithium is not the only electric vehicle batteries required raw materials, assess the reserves of other raw materials is also important, such as cobalt, copper, indium and neodymium and so on. thinkpad t40 battery
