| Abstract Scope |
For the foreseeable future, lithium-ion batteries appear to be the preferred energy storage technology for electric vehicles (EVs); so this use of lithium will depend importantly on rates of EV deployment and the type of EV deployed. For stationary energy storage associated with wind and solar power, however, the preferred storage technology is less certain. Finally, there are non-battery uses for lithium that are important to consider. This paper compares and contrasts plausible alternative scenarios of future lithium use. |
