Currently there is no facility to process nickel matte and MHP further to even nickel sulphate, let alone midstream battery cell and component manufacturing, and downstream cell assembly. However, three major investments by leading battery manufacturers have been announced for battery manufacturing since December 2020.
As the world transitions to electric vehicles, countries are looking to diversify their respective positions across the EV battery supply chain. From upstream mining and extraction of raw materials to downstream

Downstream - Usage of the battery & battery recycling . By 2030 it is projected that recyclers and manufacturers would extract over 125 000 thousand tonnes of lithium, 35 000 tonnes of cobalt and over 86 000 tonnes of nickel (to only name a few battery grade metals) from retired batteries, with the total battery mineral recovery expected to
Battery packs feed into the assembly of EVs or BESSs. Assembly of batteries for BESSs and EVs from imported cells and components is a potential entry point into the value chain. A still-emerging downstream activity is the “second life” reuse of batteries or their recycling to extract valuable CMs for new batteries (Table 1).
As shown in Figure 1, the domestic supply chain for batteries and critical minerals consists primarily of downstream buyers like automakers and battery assemblers, though there are a growing number of battery cell
components and processes within a manufacturing plant through track-and-trace hardware and software solutions. Manufacturers can follow the origin of materials in real time, monitor the material flow in all production stages simultaneously, and ensure compliance with quality standards and regulations. Both upstream and downstream

The introduction of the 46xx battery format is a game-changer, promising higher energy density, reduced costs, and enhanced vehicle performance. However, with innovation
Lithium-ion battery (LIB) pack is the core component of electric vehicles (EVs). As the demand is continuously increasing, it puts a lot of strain on the battery raw material supply chains. Additionally, precursors act as a crucial intermediary products that connect the upstream resources and downstream materials in the battery industrial
Downstream, the LIB value chain has four different stages (creating battery components, production of battery cells, assembly of batteries, and manufacturing of EV). Recycling could potentially be considered part of the downstream value chain, but an analysis is outside the scope of this work.
While Europe and the United States are making strides in EV production, their limited roles in the broader battery supply chain highlight a dependency on other regions, particularly Asia, for critical components. The emergence of new battery manufacturers in these regions is a positive development, but the current planning and scaling phases
Geographical distribution of the global battery supply chain : 58 . China dominates the electric car industry, accounting for three-quarters of global lithium-ion battery production. Most refining of lithium, cobalt, and graphite takes place in China. Japan and Korea host significant midstream cell manufacturing and downstream supply chain activities.

The electric vehicle battery accounts for 30–40% of the value of the vehicle. Around one-third of the battery''s weight is the housing and cooling system. The cathode makes up another 20% and the anode another 10%. Three types of batteries dominate the electric vehicle market. They are usually defined by the cathode material they contain: nickel-cobalt-manganese oxides
Downstream Following manufacturing, the components are combined into cells, typically in cylindrical shapes for EVs. These cells are then assembled into large battery packs to provide

The downstream portion of the EV battery supply chain involves the assembly of battery cells into modules and then packs before placing finished batteries into EVs. (To learn more about how EV batteries work and how they're made, read “ EV Batteries 101: The Basics.”)
As the world transitions to electric vehicles, countries are looking to diversify their respective positions across the EV battery supply chain. This encompasses upstream mining and extraction of raw materials to downstream manufacturing of the battery itself.
The EV battery supply chain is dispersed around the world — battery minerals travel an average of 50,000 miles from extraction to battery cell production. At the same time, much of the mineral supply is concentrated in just a few countries. This dispersion and concentration make the global supply chain vulnerable to disruptions, including:
Initiatives like the European Battery Alliance and proposed investments in the US are driving the development of competitive battery manufacturing industries. Automakers are adopting new business models to control supply chain margins and secure access to minerals supply.
If the battery supply chain, or portions of it, are concentrated in just a few countries or regions, the global battery supply chain will suffer should any of these places be faced with disruptions like natural disasters, geopolitics, or changing trade alliances.
Downstream activities include manufacturing of the batteries and end goods for the consumer. The production of lithium batteries in China has nearly three times higher emissions than the US because electricity generation in China relies more on coal. End of life activities include recycling or recovery of materials when possible.
