Entering the TWh Era with Innovations in Battery Manufacturing
Out with "giga", in with "tera". Global lithium-ion battery production capacity stands at roughly 600 GWh per year today and is expected to reach at least 3 TWh by 2030. There is even talk of North American capacity reaching 1 TWh by the end of the decade.
Emerging Recycling Players and Technologies
Something on the order of 3 TWh of batteries are going to be produced annually by 2030. This translates to roughly 12 million kilograms of battery cells. The community is working quickly to build a sustainable battery supply chain.
