Batteries are gaining traction in the clean electrification pathway to decarbonization. Their global manufacturing capacity was forecast to grow from two to seven terawatt-hours from 2023 to 2030,.
The energy consumption involved in industrial-scale manufacturing of lithium-ion batteries is a critical area of research. The substantial energy inputs, encompassing both power demand and energy consumption, are pivotal factors in establishing mass production facilities for battery manufacturing.
Dai et al (2019 ) estimate the energy use in battery manufacturing facilities in China with an annual manufacturing capacity of around 2 GWhc to 170 MJ (47 kWh per kWhc, of which 140 MJ is used in the form of steam and ) 30 MJ as electricity. Ellingsen et al (2015 ) studied electricity use in a manufacturing facility over 18 months.
Battery production has been ramping up quickly in the past few years to keep pace with increasing demand. In 2023, battery manufacturing reached 2.5 TWh, adding 780 GWh of capacity relative to 2022. The capacity added in 2023 was over 25% higher than in 2022.
Fourth, owing to large investments in battery production infrastructure, research and development, the resulting technology improvements and techno-economic effects promise a reduction in energy consumption per produced cell energy by two-thirds until 2040, compared with the present technology and know-how level.
A comprehensive comparison of existing and future cell chemistries is currently lacking in the literature. Consequently, how energy consumption of battery cell production will develop, especially after 2030, but currently it is still unknown how this can be decreased by improving the cell chemistries and the production process.
This work is independent, reflects the views of the authors, and has not been commissioned by any business, government, or other institution. Global demand for batteries is increasing, driven largely by the imperative to reduce climate change through electrification of mobility and the broader energy transition.
Nickel-rich batteries alone won't get us there, despite currently unmatched energy density and performance. Other materials are required, with an ethical, diverse, uninterrupted pipeline to boot, even if, like manganese or lithium-iron phosphate—the flavor of the moment for EVs—the resulting batteries demand some compromises.
“The higher number of minerals that go into a battery is a good thing,” said Venkat Srinivisan, director of the Argonne Collaborative Center for Energy Storage Science (ACCESS). As a cathode material, manganese is abundant, safe, and stable. But it has never approached the energy density or life cycle of nickel-rich batteries, Srinivisan cautions.
But with the industry needing all the batteries it can get, improved high-manganese batteries could carve out a niche, perhaps as a mid-priced option between lithium-iron phosphate chemistry, and primo nickel-rich batteries in top luxury and performance models. “We need tens, maybe hundreds of millions of tons, ultimately.
Tesla and Volkswagen are among the automakers who see manganese—element No. 25 on the periodic table, situated between chromium and iron—as the latest, alluringly plentiful metal that may make both batteries and EVs affordable enough for mainstream buyers.
Nickel is used in the cathode material for NMC111, typically sourced as nickel sulfate, which itself is produced from refined nickel. Nickel production is an energy-intensive process. It is composed of several stages that can be roughly classified as mining, beneficiation, primary extraction, and refining.
We evaluated the production of NMC111 batteries considering the supply chains of the US, China, South Korea, Japan, and Europe. Regionalized (country/region-specific) conditions were used for the production parameters. However, some production parameters were not regionally specific in this analysis.
Fig. 4 shows the resulting GWP impact per kWh of NMC battery-grade materials under the first scenario assumption. In European countries, it varies between 47 and 57 kg CO 2 eq. per kWh, depending on the cathode chemistry and the location of production. These values are 30–42% lower than for production in China.

THE THREE MAIN PHASES OF THE BATTERY PRODUCTION PROCESS1. ELECTRODE MANUFACTURING Whatever the format (pouch, cylindrical or prismatic), the first step when manufacturing a battery is the production of the two covered layers known as electrodes.
The battery manufacturing process is a complex sequence of steps transforming raw materials into functional, reliable energy storage units. This guide covers the entire process, from material selection to the final product's assembly and testing.
Production steps in lithium-ion battery cell manufacturing summarizing electrode manufacturing, cell assembly and cell finishing (formation) based on prismatic cell format. Electrode manufacturing starts with the reception of the materials in a dry room (environment with controlled humidity, temperature, and pressure).
As detailed below, the 3 main phases are (i) electrode manufacturing, (ii) cell assembly and (iii) training, aging and test that validates the right performance of the assembled battery cells. 1. ELECTRODE MANUFACTURING
Developments in different battery chemistries and cell formats play a vital role in the final performance of the batteries found in the market. However, battery manufacturing process steps and their product quality are also important parameters affecting the final products' operational lifetime and durability.
There are various players involved in the battery manufacturing processes, from researchers to product responsibility and quality control. Timely, close collaboration and interaction among these parties is of vital relevance.
Since battery production is a cost-intensive (material and energy costs) process, these standards will help to save time and money. Battery manufacturing consists of many process steps and the development takes several years, beginning with the concept phase and the technical feasibility, through the sampling phases until SOP.
