2 Task 2 Markets 1

The objective of Task 2 is to present an economic and market analysis of batteries according 2

to the definition presented in 121 The aims are 3

bull to place batteries (according to the definition provided in 121) within the context of EU 4

industry and trade policy (subtask 21) 5

bull to provide market size and cost inputs for the EU-wide environmental impact assessment 6

of the product group (subtask 22) 7

bull to provide insight into the latest market trends to help assess the impact of potential 8

Ecodesign measures with regard to market structures and ongoing trends in product 9

design (subtask 23 also relevant for the impact analyses in Task 3) and finally 10

bull to provide a practical data set of prices and rates to be used for Life Cycle Cost (LCC) 11

calculations (subtask 24) 12

21 Generic economic data 13

In the MEErP generic economic data refers to data that is available in official EU statistics 14

(eg PRODCOM) and the aim is to identify and report the lsquoEU apparent consumptionrsquo which 15

is defined as lsquoEU production + EU import ndash EU exportrsquo Also the average value of each product 16

is verified The information required for this subtask should be derived from official EU 17

statistics so as to be coherent with official data used in EU industry and trade policy 18

211 Approach to subtask 2 19

PRODCOM data is publicly available and is a direct source of market information PRODCOM 20

data does not give any direct information about the total number of installed batteries in use 21

in the EU28 member countries The data might also not account for batteries imported to or 22

exported from the EU as sub-unit of other products (eg batteries in cell phones) 23

2111 Secondary batteries related PRODCOM categories 24

Several categories on batteries exist within the NACE2 classification (see Table 1) however 25

there is no category for LIB cells modules or packs LIB based secondary batteries are 26

included in the composite category 2702300 along with all other not Pb-based secondary 27

battery technologies 28

27201100 Primary cells and primary batteries

27201200 Parts of primary cells and primary batteries (excluding battery

carbons for rechargeable batteries)

27202100 Lead-acid accumulators for starting piston engines

27202200 Lead-acid accumulators excluding for starting piston engines

27202300 Nickel-cadmium nickel metal hydride lithium-ion lithium

polymer nickel-iron and other electric accumulators

27202400 Parts of electric accumulators including separators

Table 1 PRODCOM categories related to batteries [1] 1

2112 SystemBMS related PRODCOM categories 2

Within the NACE2 classification there are no explicit categories for LIB system components 3

like the battery management system however there are categories including components 4

which are likely to be applied in the power electronics or BMS of battery packs and systems 5

A selection is listed in Table 2 Automatic circuit breakers as a part of technology crucial for 6

battery management systems are aggregated under PRODCOM categories 27122250 and 7

breakers for a voltage le 1 kV and for a current gt 63 A and 27122230 Automatic circuit breakers 14

for a voltage le 1 kV and for a current le 63 A are analyzed in more detail for the years 1995 15

2121 Electric accumulators including LIBs 18

Figure 1 shows the development of production import and export volumes in Euro for 19

PRODCOM category 27202300 in the time from 1995 to 2017 The data shows an increase 20

of market volume in all three categories Since several battery technologies are aggregated in 21

this PRODCOM category values specific for LIB cannot obtained from this data Due to the 22

development of the different battery technologies it is likely that the market values in the 1990s 23

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

7

and early 2000s can mainly be attributed to NiMH NiCd and other technologies The growth 1

experienced since 2010 in all three market categories is likely to be a result of the development 2

in the LIB market which can be considered to be the dominant submarket under the battery 3

technologies aggregated under 27202300 today (see and compare section 233 with a global 4

analysis of different battery technologies) 5

Nickel-cadmium nickel metal hydride lithium-ion lithium polymer nickel-iron and other 8

electric accumulators [2] 9

Note that no production volumes in terms of units or kWh are available from Eurostat 10

The value of batteries integrated into applications or sold as end products in Europe can be 11

assessed by considering the EU consumption value (EU sales and trade) which results from 12

the sum of production and import minus export values (see Figure 2) After a plateau like 13

market behavior between 2000 and 2010 a steep increase of the EU consumption value can 14

be observed The 2017 value adds up to about 4 billion Euro Assuming that the majority share 15

of this value can be attributed to LIB with a market price of 300 to 500 eurokWh (Mix of higher 16

priced consumer cells and lower priced automotive cells) the value corresponds to a capacity 17

of 8 to 13 GWh In consideration of its estimated character this number is in accordance with 18

the data presented in section 224 (based on a bottom up estimation of the capacity demand 19

by passenger xEV and home storage ESS markets 3C markets are not considered) 20

Figure 2 EU sales and trade (PROD+IMP-EXP) summarized in PRODCOM category 3

27202300 Nickel-cadmium nickel metal hydride lithium-ion lithium polymer nickel-iron and 4

other electric accumulators [2] 5

Hence it can be assumed that the data presented in the PRODCOM database meets the right 6

magnitude Due to the aggregation of battery technologies the consumption value of LIB alone 7

can however not be assessed by this data Furthermore the large price spread for LIB and 8

the dynamic development of prices does not allow to reliably conclude on the demand of 9

battery capacity (GWh) An assessment of market development and installed LIB stock in 10

Europe is given in section 22 and 23 based on other data sources 11

2122 Circuit breakers as an example for BMS electronics 12

LIB cells as gathered in category 27202300 are only one of the subunits of battery systems 13

Housing protection cooling electrical and electronic components are supposedly measured 14

in different PRODCOM categories 15

Figure 3 Figure 4 Figure 5 and Figure 6 show production import export and EU sales and 16

trade data for automatic circuit breakers as potential component of BMS EU consumption 17

values do not show a clear upward trend comparable to the values for battery technologies 18

Although an increase of export and import values can be observed no clear correlation with 19

the production of battery systems for xEV or stationary storage in Europe can be observed 20

We conclude that the analysis of individual storage system related PRODCOM categories 21

does not allow to assess the market development for complete battery systems 22

22 Market and stock data 8

221 General objective of subtask 22 and discussion of useful data 9

sources 10

The objective is to compile market and stock data in physical units for the EU for each of the 11

product categories defined in Task 11 and for the stock (1990-2015) combined with a forecast 12

2020-2050 Therefore the following parameters need to be identified 13

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

11

bull Market and installed stock assessment in units of number of systems (battery systems 1

for xEV battery systems for ESS) and corresponding battery capacity (MWh or GWh) 2

bull Replacement cycles and life time data This data is assumed to be strongly application 3

depending At present there is no comprehensive data available 4

2211 Useful data sources 5

Several market studies describing the present and future market situation for battery-based 6

applications exist Most of these studies have a global scope or focus on Asian countries due 7

to the structure of the battery market Comprehensive studies providing market data for the 8

EU and its member states are not known 9

To give an overview about stock and battery markets for the EU28 member states the 10

following bottom-up sources were utilized to give model estimations 11

bull Fraunhofer ISI in-house xEV database [3] The database has been developed in 2014 12

by Fraunhofer ISI and is updated since on an annual basis The last update was done 13

in November 2018 It covers global production and sales numbers for xEV models 14

broken down to countries as well as information on battery capacity and range of the 15

vehicles The database aggregates information provided by Marklines Co Ltd [4] the 16

European Alternative Fuels Observatory [5] the ev-sales blog [6] and other online 17

sources 18

bull Fraunhofer ISI in-house LIB database [7] The database covers information on the 19

major industrial players in the Li-ion business from materials to cell production The 20

development and location of production capacities is frequently updated Information 21

on performance and cost of commercially available battery cells as well as the meta 22

analysis of several studies providing forecasts on the respective developments are 23

also covered in the database Information is collected from several online sources and 24

available product data sheets 25

bull B3 corporation market studies B3 corporation provides topical market studies on xEV 26

ESS and material markets for Li-ion batteries The market data is updated on an 27

annual basis B3 studies have a global scope but occasionally also cover local 28

European markets 29

bull Additional market studies and databases as discussed in the following sections 30

222 Market stock and forecast for xEVs in Europe 31

As will be shown in section 23 the stock of installed medium or large-sized batteries in Europe 32

is strongly related to the diffusion of electric mobility In contrast to several Asian countries 33

xEV sales in Europe predominantly concern passenger cars Ebuses as well as light and 34

heavy commercial vehicles still do not play a major role in terms of installed capacity At 35

present the average energy content of a BEV passenger electric vehicle battery is higher than 36

40 kWh Small vehicles like the Renault Twizy feature a capacity of less than 10 kWh while 37

the models with highest capacity sold in EU28 countries approach the 100 kWh mark (Jaguar 38

iPace and Tesla Model X 90 kWh Tesla Model 3 73 kWh) The amount of battery capacity 39

installed in passenger PHEVs is about 10 kWh and has remained on a constant level over the 40

last years (see Figure 7) 41

2221 Production and sales of BEV 4

Figure 8 shows the number of produced BEVs [3] broken down to the production country from 5

2010 to 2018 A forecast until 2020 based on the average growth rates between 2016 and 6

2018 is shown in addition This production data is a measure for the demand of battery cells 7

in the individual EU28 countries 8

Germany France and the Netherlands lead the field of BEV producers in Europe On 9

European level an average yearly growth rate of over 40 can be observed It is expected 10

that the number of 150000 produced BEVs in 2018 will double in 2020 11

12

Figure 8 Production numbers for BEVs produced in EU28 countries and forecast until 2020 13

[3] 14

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

13

In contrast to the production data the sales numbers for BEV reflect the amount of installed 1

vehicle batteries in the individual EU28 countries It can be seen in Figure 9 that the proportion 2

among the EU28 countries in terms of sold vehicles is much more even as compared to the 3

production Germany France the United Kingdom and the Netherlands lead the market 4

however significant sales numbers can also be found in other countries The level and growth 5

rates of BEV sales is comparable to BEV production It should however be noted that there is 6

significant trade with other regions of the world eg BEV imports from KR (Hyundai) and JP 7

(Mitsubishi Nissan) and exports to North America (BMW Volkswagen) Hence the BEV 8

market can not be considered to be an internal market 9

10

Figure 9 Number of sold BEVs in EU28 member states and forecast until 2020 [3] 11

2222 Production and sales of PHEV 12

Similar to section 2221 production and sales numbers for PHEV resolved by country are 13

shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11 Although on a comparable level in terms of produced and 14

sold vehicles it must be emphasized that the contribution of PHEVs to the demand for battery 15

capacity is due to the smaller size of the battery much less than the demand generated by 16

BEVs At present the main production sites for PHEVs are located in Germany Due to 17

production sites for Audi (VW) and Volvo PHEVs Sweden and Slovakia also significantly 18

contribute to the production 19

2223 Forecast xEV sales and stock EU28 9

The data presented in sections 2221 and 2222 was used as an input for a forecast model 10

on passenger PHEV and BEV as well as light and heavy commercial xEVs (see also [8] and 11

section 26) 12

It was assumed that extrapolated EU wide sales numbers and growth rates for passenger as 13

well as light vehicles [9] represent natural boundaries for the growth of xEV markets Logistic 14

growth functions (see setion 26) were used to model market diffusion Passenger BEV were 15

assumed to replace 75 of all passenger car sales in the long term Passenger PHEV were 16

15

assumed to be an initially faster growing transition technology which will partially be replaced 1

by BEV in the long term A passenger xEV lifetime of 12 years with battery replacement rates 2

of 15 per lifetime were assumed For commercial vehicles a lifetime of 9 years and 3

replacement rate of 25 and a lifetime of 12 years and battery replacement rate of 80 were 4

assumed for light and heavy vehicles respectively The assumption for the market model is 5

summarized in Table 3 and Table 4 and shall be subject to discussion during the stakeholder 6

meeting 7

223 Market stock and forecast for ESS in Europe 3

As discussed in Task 1 several stationary applications for batteries exist ranging from grid 4

support to home storage As will be shown in section 23 the demand for battery capacity 5

generated by ESS applications at present is rather small as compared to 3C and motive 6

markets There is no systematic registration of large scale or small scale stationary storage 7

systems in the EU Hence the market stock and volume for respective applications can only 8

be estimated based on indirect data 9

2231 Photovoltaic installations in the EU 10

Energy storage systems in combination with photovoltaic installations are one major 11

application for batteries both for private as well as commercial purposes Due to changes in 12

reimbursement and subsidy policy as well as the physical capability of the energy system to 13

buffer and process high shares of renewable energy the use of local energy storage systems 14

is becoming more and more popular There is no data on the share of PV installations 15

equipped with an energy storage system for the EU However on regional level some data is 16

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

20

available According to [10] approximately half of the PV systems with a peak power below 1

30 kW installed in Germany in 2017 have been equipped with an energy storage option 2

(amounting to about 30000 storage systems with a cumulative capacity of 400 MWh) 3

At present the installation of storage systems is strongly coupled to new installations of PV 4

systems As shown in Figure 16 with data on Germany the retrofit of existing PV installations 5

with storage systems is however expected to contribute significantly to the demand for battery 6

capacity in the PV segment in the future Within the forecast shown 50 of the sold storage 7

systems might be integrated into already existing PV-systems in 2030 8

9

Figure 16 PV installations and retrofit of existing PV installations in Germany Data and image 10

taken from [11] 11

Figure 17 shows the yearly installed PV power (MW) in the EU28 [12] A boom of PV 12

installations can clearly be observed for the years 2010 to 2012 mainly driven by installations 13

in Germany and Italy Likely as a result of changing subsidy policies the yearly installed PV 14

power has since then steadily decreased in both countries On the other hand a steady 15

increase in installations can be observed for the Netherlands and the UK In the forecast model 16

applied in [12] a slight increase in new installations is expected until 2021 driven by 17

installations in the UK and Portugal as well as member countries which so far do not have 18

any considerable PV installations Due to decreasing costs for solar panels and rather stable 19

remuneration rates this upward trend seems to be justified 20

Figure 17 PV installations in EU28 countries and forecast until 2020 Data taken from [12] 2

Based on the data given in [10] for Germany 80 of the installed PV systems can be attributed 3

to small or medium sized installations (average of 10 kWp) directly feeding into the low-voltage 4

grid In terms of power these systems amount to about 30 of the installations If equipped 5

with an energy storage system the average battery capacity amounts to 8 to 10 kWh [13] 6

Concerning installations in Europe it can be argued that there is a trend towards smaller roof-7

top systems for more densely populated and less sunny regions while in particular in the 8

southern European countries larger solar parks are favored Since no comprehensive data 9

covering the whole EU is available only a rough estimation for the demand of battery storage 10

systems and capacity can be made 11

Assuming that the number of smaller roof-top installations (30 of power) as well as the 12

number of systems equipped with an ESS (50 of installations lt 30 kWp) is above average 13

for Germany as compared to the rest of the EU the market data and forecasts given in [12] 14

and [11] would lead to a demand for battery capacity as summarized in Table 5 15

2232 Wind Turbine installations in the EU 5

Similar to section 2231 for PV installations Figure 18 shows data and forecasts for wind 6

turbine power installations in the EU28 [12] In contrast to PV installations wind turbine power 7

is almost exclusively attributed to larger scale wind parks We conclude that the use of small 8

scale ESS for the optimization of private energy consumption is therefore not driven by wind 9

power installations 10

Still the ongoing installation of wind turbine power in the EU28 might become a driver for large 11

scale decentralized energy storage systems however there is no market data available which 12

would allow for a battery demand forecast 13

respect to installed power and installed energy content (capacity) was assumed [14] 3

Table 6 lists larger scale (~MWh) stationary storage systems installed in the EU in 2017 [12] 4

80 of these installations are categorized as substation storage 6 relates to frequency 5

stabilization 5 to storage of wind-generated energy and 1 to storage of PV-generated 6

energy 7

Note that most of these installations are prototype or test facilities which does not allow to 8

use this application share as template for future market developments The total installed 9

capacity of 340 MWh in 2017 suggests that the market volume of large scale ESS is of the 10

same order of magnitude as that of home storage Note that the installed capacity for 2017 in 11

[14] is only 65 MWh It is however not stated in [12] whether the listed ESS projects are still in 12

2234 Forecast ESS sales and stock EU28 2

The data presented in sections 2231 2232 and 2233 was used as an input for a forecast 3

model on large scale and home ESS 4

EU wide sales numbers and growth rates for PV coupled home storage systems were 5

extrapolated with declining growth rates for 2035 and beyond With respect to large scale ESS 6

it was assumed that the generation of electricity by renewable sources exceeding 17 (2015 7

value [15]) of the total electricity generation necessitates a certain amount of ESS buffer 8

capacity EU 2020 and 2030 targets [16 17] for the share of renewable electricity generation 9

were used as a forecast model The buffer capacity demand was estimated to be 70 of the 10

daily electrical energy generated by renewables exceeding the share of 17 11

A lifetime of 20 years with a replacement rate of 10 was assumed for home ESS and a 12

lifetime of 20 years with a battery replacement rate of 80 within this lifetime was assumed 13

for large scale ESS System capacities were modelled by a power law based on present-day 14

values The assumptions for the market model are summarized in Table 7 and Table 8 and 15

shall be subject to discussion during the stakeholder meeting 16

224 Summary of the market sales forecast and estimation of the future 1

and past stock 2

As shown in sections 222 and 223 several drivers exist for the application of battery storage 3

systems in stationary and motive applications While the demand for battery capacity 4

generated by BEV and PHEV passenger cars was on the level of several GWh for 2017 the 5

ESS markets might still be below the 1 GWh mark in the EU 6

With respect to the increase of average battery capacity installed in different applications (see 7

Figure 22) and the growth rates for the sales of xEV and ESS (see sections 2223 and 8

2232) forecasts for the total new installations (including replacements) of batteries in the 9

EU28 are shown in Figure 23 See annex for further comments 10

11

Figure 22 Average system battery energy (kWh or MWh) forecast 12

23 Market trends 3

231 General objective of subtask 23 and approach 4

The following chapter provides a comprehensive market overview on global battery sales 5

demand and players Starting with the market development of Lithium-ion batteries between 6

2010 to 2017 scenarios until 2025 to 2030 are presented including a meta-analysis of several 7

most recent market reports (eg [18ndash27]) Step by step the regional markets and markets by 8

applications will be specified 9

232 Market drivers and CO2 legislation [28] 10

Climate and energy policies are main drivers for the energy future and are expected to lead to 11

an increasing demand for energy storage in the mid and long term (see Figure 24) According 12

to the European Unionacutes decarbonization objective a reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) 13

emissions to 80 ndash 95 below 1990 levels should be achieved by 2050 14

In particular for the transport sector no full decarbonization is achieved [29] even in the longer 15

term (other sectors have to compensate with higher GHG reductions) The overall reduction 16

achieved in the transport sector by 2050 is only around 60 below 1990 levels The 17

increasing trend in emissions seen over the past 20 years is expected to reverse by the CO2 18

legislation From 2020 on the fleet average to be achieved by all new cars is 95 grams of CO2 19

per kilometer (compared to 130 gkm in 2015) 20

Many other governments world-wide have specified CO2 emission targets and are striving 21

towards a low carbon economy Particularly in the field of passenger and commercial vehicles 22

fuel consumption and emission targets have been installed which significantly drive the 23

introduction of battery or fuel cell powered electric vehicles Among these emission policies 24

the targets set by the EU are among the most ambitious (see Table 11) Meeting them will 25

require a significant share of electric vehicles 26

Table 11 Overview about fuel consumption and CO2-emission targets for passenger vehicles 1

of the EU and other countries leading battery and electric mobility markets [30] 2

In this context electric mobility is gaining importance since electric vehicles especially plug-3

in hybrid and pure battery electric vehicles can help to achieve or fulfill these limits due to 4

improved CO2 footprints compared to conventional cars However for low CO2 footprints over 5

the lifetime of electric cars a high share of ldquolow carbonrdquo renewable energy sources (RES) in 6

the energy mix is needed and important (Figure 24 left side) 7

8

Figure 24 Climate and energy policies as drivers for future energy storage demand [28] 9

The EU Energy Roadmap 2050 [31 32] has shown across six scenarios that the 10

decarbonization goal can be achieved if the share of renewable energy sources (RES) among 11

the power generation capacity is high (gt 60 until 2050) for all scenarios Especially for the 12

high RES scenario the share of fluctuating energy generation (wind photovoltaic ndash PV) is the 13

strongest which has to be balanced Grid expansion andor flexibilization measures (eg 14

demand side management power to gas and vehicle to grid besides stationary battery 15

storage) are potential solutions Thus the high RES scenario is the most interesting scenario 16

with respect to a potential future demand for energy storage solutions (ESS) on local 17

distribution and transmission grid levels (Figure 24 right side) In order to have a significant 18

GHG reduction with EVs it will also be important to achieve the RES targets 19

233 The developing battery market 1

The total annual battery market is currently on the level of 45-60 billion Euro representing 2

approximately 400-500 GWh (including Lead-acid Lithium-Ion and other batteries) [33] 3

Lithium-ion batteries (LIB) have succeeded because of their high gravimetric and volumetric 4

energy densities and have a market share of about a third in terms of value among the whole 5

battery market The growth is driven by the decreasing cell costs of less than 170 eurokWh for a 6

standard cylindrical cell (lowest prices) approaching the 90 eurokWh mark in the next years This 7

cost degression is due to increasing capacity demand and production and thus due to scale 8

effects 9

Although the LIB market is drastically growing with annual growth rates of up to 30 percent 10

on average (in terms of battery capacity demand) the dominating battery technology in terms 11

of capacity however are still lead-acid batteries representing about 90 percent of the global 12

demand in volume around 2010 and 80 percent in 2017 13

14

15

Figure 25 Historical development of the global battery demand in GWh (left axis for NiCd 16

NiMH right axis for all other battery types grey total battery demand) [34] 17

Other mature battery technologies like NiCd (still partly used in power tools) and NiMH (still 18

used in hybrid electric vehicles HEV) are slowly declining and are expected to disappear from 19

the market in the next decade The diversification of future battery applications however will 20

also broaden the range of battery technologies Emerging technologies like Na-based Metal-21

Sulfur or Redox Flow batteries are developing and may lead to attractive solutions eg with 22

respect to cost and resource availability advantages However due to very strict requirements 23

on volumetric energy densities these technologies are expected to be relevant for stationary 24

or other special markets and less for the most significant electric vehicle market In general 25

each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses and none of them can satisfy all user 26

demands Hence a broader application-specific technology portfolio is urgently needed in 27

order to provide alternative technology solutions in the future 28

The extremely dynamic development of the global LIB demand will lead to the TWh level latest 29

around 2030 and grow further after 2030 Thus LIB will very soon transform into the 30

dominating energy storage technology 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

34

Figure 26 shows three different scenarios for the global demand for LIB between 2010 and 1

2030 (green curves) along with global production capacities (orange and blue curve)[33] 2

While at the beginning of the decade the demand and sales numbers followed the medium 3

growth rate trend scenario the market has been approaching the high growth rate scenario in 4

the last years This is mainly due to the strong engagement of politics and respective 5

regulation and subsidy programs for electric mobility As can be seen from the graph the 6

share of demand generated by motive applications is expected to significantly grow in the next 7

years and might account for more than one third of the total LIB demand by 2025 8

To face this increasing demand for LIB cells accordingly production capacities need to be 9

build up in the near future Based on the currently existing cell production capacities and the 10

global announcements from established and new cell producers until 2025 the LIB cell 11

production capacities (blue line in 12

Figure 26) have been identified Compared to 15 GWh added production capacity between 13

2013 and 2016 in the next years around 50 GWh will be added annually leading to around 14

700 GWh production capacities until 2025 (in the optimistic case see blue line in 15

Figure 26) The announcements include established players such as Panasonic (JP) LG 16

Chem (KR) Samsung (KR) SKI (KR) BYD (CN) Lishen (CN) CATL (CN) CALB (CN) 17

OPTIMUM (CN) and several further Chinese cell producers Also new players such as TerraE 18

(DE) Northvolt (SW) Boston Energy (US AU) Energy Absolute (Thailand) are included 19

while accounting for the different stages of expansion [20 27] 20

21

234 Battery markets by application 23

Diversification of applications for batteries 24

The above described global developments of battery demand and production strongly concern 25

high-energy lithium-ion batteries with the cell chemistries NMC NCA (Ni-rich and Co-reduced 26

cathodes) and SiC (high capacity SiC anodes with 5-10 or higher Si content) and cell 27

formats cylindrical (eg larger 21700 compared to standard 18650) large pouch or prismatic 28

cells The target is to develop and produce cells with improved gravimetric and volumetric 29

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

35

energy densities and reduced costs in order to meet the requirements of the automotive 1

industry Electric passenger cars are driving the demand and thus development of the battery 2

technology and these optimized and cost reduced batteries define the benchmark today and 3

in the future 4

LIB demand by applications 5

In Figure 27 the global LIB demand is broken down to the three main sectors for battery 6

demand which can be characterised each having different profiles of requirement 7

bull electric mobility or electric vehicles (EV including eg passenger cars light 8

commercial vehicles buses trucks scooters ebikes etc) 9

bull stationary energy storage systems (ESS) and 10

bull portable devices (3C ndash Computer Communication Consumer) 11

The LIB cell demand developed to almost 25 GWh in 2010 since the market introduction in 12

the early 1990s and dominantly resulted from portable devices In 2015 the cell demand of 13

about 70 GWh was distributed already almost 5050 between 3C and EV applications 14

15

Figure 27 Global LIB demand (in GWh and share in ) by segment [34] 16

Since 2015 the global LIB demand has increased with compound annual growth rates 17

(CAGR) of ~25 from about 70 GWh to about 110 GWh in 2017 The market for electric 18

vehicles currently grows with 30-40 (and more depending on the application and region) and 19

a diversification in applications (eg buses trucks other light to heavy commercial vehicles 20

marine applications drones etc) can be observed 21

With the diversification of future markets and applications cost sensitive markets will arise for 22

which optimized high-energy and cost reduced automotive cells of certain cell formats will be 23

used However also applications with stronger requirements on long lifetime high cycleability 24

fast charging capability safety etc will emerge and diffuse where cost is not the most 25

relevant factor and other battery technologies (ie cell chemistries formats) can provide a 26

unique selling proposition and hence lead to a product differentiation 27

2341 LIB markets for 3C applications 28

Portable devices (3C) have been the main applications for LIB cells in the past Power tools 29

medical devices and wearables are expected to be products with an emerging future market 30

for small LIB cells but with enormous quantities The price per kWh that can be stored plays a 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

36

less important role for these applications As far as charging is concerned technologies such 1

as energy harvesting and wireless charging are expected to be introduced in the future For 2

many markets and products such as household devices garden cleaning power tools other 3

mobile leisure applications etc today mostly cylindrical LIB cells of the format 18650 are used 4

With the introduction of 21700 cells also larger cylindrical cells become available now and are 5

expected to be used in diffuse in such applications Although different specific cell chemistries 6

might be suitable depending on the concrete application again it can be stated that the 3C 7

segment is expected to lead to a comparably small battery capacity demand compared to the 8

EV segment and will not be the limiting segment with respect to the risk of resource 9

dependencies 10

In the next few years growth rates of about 5 to 10 percent are expected for the 3C markets 11

while laptop battery demand is developing at lower growth rates and power tools medical 12

devices etc are supporting the growth rates for the battery demand 13

14

15

Figure 28 Demand and growth of the 3C LIB market [34] 16

2342 LIB markets for stationary (ESS) applications 17

Stationary energy storage systems (ESS) can be divided into different size classes with regard 18

to the capacity and charging times Both together decide on the application area (eg small 19

PV storage at home peak load to long-term storage) [35] Beyond that the price per kWh put 20

through over the lifetime is the economic key factor (as synthesized by the LCOE levelized 21

cost of energy) In contrast gravimetric and volumetric energy density plays a subordinate 22

role Due to that lead-acid batteries were often used as storage technology for off- and on-23

grid storage Currently LIBs are being established for commercial use and meanwhile reach 24

an annual demand of some few GWh Other electrochemical storage technologies such as 25

sodium-sulfur batteries are still used but the demand for LIB is strongly increasing for ESS It 26

is expected that 2nd life concepts for batteries that had their first life in electric vehicles will 27

gain importance together with market diffusion in the EV segment as the requirements on the 28

batteries are less demanding in the ESS segment This however will require the development 29

of according business models standardization etc The much broader available technology 30

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

37

portfolio for ESS applications the use of 2nd life batteries and the fact that electric vehicle 1

batteries that are connected to the grid on a large scale with higher market diffusion can be 2

regarded as stationary storage systems as well (vehicle to grid V2G grid to vehicle G2V) help 3

to reduce the risk of technological and resource dependencies in the future 4

The market for stationary storage applications (ESS) is experiencing growth rates of 20 to 30 5

percent depending on individual market forecasts (in the last years CAGR have even been on 6

the level of 60 but decrease with increasing size of the market see Figure 29) 7

The market is currently on a level of few GWh including applications from smaller PV storage 8

systems of 5-10 kWh to larger industrial and grid connected installations for own power 9

consumption peak shaving etc on the MWh level Regarding these growth rates LIB for ESS 10

applications rapidly gain importance as de-central storage solutions compared to the currently 11

dominating central pumped hydro storage (PHS) Forecasts to 2025 differ by size and expect 12

an ESS LIB demand between 20-50 GWh (partially higher eg in [23]) but all forecasts identify 13

high growth rates 14

15

Figure 29 Demand and growth of the ESS LIB market [34] 16

17

2343 LIB markets for electric vehicle applications 18

One of the biggest challenges for batteries for electric vehicles (EV including electric cars 19

buses trucks etc) apart from their price is the increase of their volumetric and gravimetric 20

energy density The volumetric energy density is even more important for OEM due to 21

restricted and fixed space and location of the battery in an electric vehicle A very relevant 22

parameter of a battery is its charging and discharging power in particular in continuous 23

operation It determines the fast-charging capability which is an important argument in the 24

use and the establishment on the market At the same time this sets limits to the high-25

performance operation since energy consumption is reduced to protect the battery from 26

damage This illustrates the conflicting effect of different parameters on the battery lifetime 27

Price volume weight and thus charge density as well as chargedischarge rate in terms of 28

usage and durability are the most urgent challenges for battery manufacturers 29

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

38

The market for EV batteries is currently at the level of about 50 GWh (including electric 1

passenger cars busses trucks ebikes scooter forklifts etc) Growth rates are at 20 to 40 2

percent and the demand for EV batteries will lead to a share of about 66 percent in 2020 76 3

percent until 2025 and 80 percent or higher in the long term Electric passenger cars (BEV 4

and PHEV) define the by far largest market within the EV segment and are clearly driving the 5

technology development of high energy Lithium-Ion or Lithium-based batteries in the future 6

7

Figure 30 Demand and growth of the EV LIB market [34] 8

9

Other motive (or stationary or portable) markets applications besides the highly competitive 10

electric passenger cars therefore can offer interesting growth markets also for smaller cell 11

producers beyond the large Japanese Korean and Chinese cell producers These markets or 12

applications very often define concrete requirements for the battery performance they require 13

an in depth understanding and design from the cell chemistry format to the modulepack and 14

system integration and they still vary strongly by region and are connected to individual system 15

integrators or OEM This is because each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses 16

and none of them can satisfy all userapplication demands Hence a broader application 17

specific technology portfolio is even urgently needed in order to provide alternative individual 18

technology solutions for these emerging marketsapplications 19

20

235 Market channels and production structure 21

2351 Global production capacities and major players 22

Since their commercialization in the 1990s LIB have been predominantly produced by 23

Japanese and Korean companies Driven by the Chinese government particularly cell 24

producers but also companies covering other steps of the LIB value creation chain have been 25

established in China Due to a policy of simultaneous support for LIB production as well as for 26

application markets and due to an extensive subsidy scheme a large share of LIB production 27

capacities is located in China today 28

Figure 31 Figure 32 Figure 33 and Figure 34 show the global LIB production capacities of 29

major cell producers in 2018 as well as forecasts for 2020 2025 and 2030 respectively [36] 30

The data is based on announcements made by the cell producers As discussed in section 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

39

233 the actual time-frame for the implementation of the capacity expansions is often delayed 1

with respect to the original announcements Hence minimum and maximum values for the 2

production capacities are given 3

Figure 34 Global LIB production capacities of major cell producers in 2030 [36] 2

Until 2030 the announced production capacities add up to more than 1 TWh In total there 3

are about 30 cell producers which have announced to build up production capacities of more 4

than 10 GWhyear which can be considered to be a threshold in order to be able to produce 5

at competitve costs [36] If the announced capacities are fully utilized the ldquobig 4rdquo (Panasonic 6

CATL LGC and BYD) will be able to fully cover the market demand (gt550 GWh) until 2025 7

2352 Europes position in the global battery value chain 8

In the EU several actors are positioned which cover production steps along the whole value 9

chain of LIBs starting from raw material production to production of cells and systems and 10

finally recycling However with respect to global markets only few organizations within the EU 11

have a market share of more than 1 in their specific segment eg BASF Germany in the 12

field of electrolyte production [30] 13

An overview about existing and active companies is given by the European Battery Alliance 14

(see Figure 35) Due to the presence of strong automotive OEM LIB pack manufacturing and 15

system integration is taking place on large scale in Europe A particular gap in the value chain 16

is present due to the lack of a large-scale cell production capable of serving the volumes and 17

prices required by the automotive industry 18

Figure 37 LIB cell production capacities by location of plant [38] 2

Several consortia are currently attempting to build up a European large scale cell 4

manufacturing such as Nothvolt (Sweden) with 32 GWh until 2023 or Saft (together with 5

Siemens and Manz) [39] Recently the German government announced plans for funding of 6

a Batterie-Cell-Alliance between Germany and Poland with cell production capacities in the 7

Regions Lausitz (Germany) and Westpoland [40 41] At the cross section between RampD and 8

large-scale production also a Research Production with 600 Mio EUR funding is foreseen 9

whereas the Fraunhofer Society should coordinate and run such a research production [42] 10

The announced funding from the German government sums up to 2 bn EUR 11

Given all these announced investments and production capacities to build up in the next years 12

the cell production capacities of European cell manufacturers could sum up to over 40 GWh 13

beyond 2025 In contrast main Asian cell manufacturer have already started with cell 14

production (eg LG SDI) or plan to build up production capacities until 2020 to 2025 In 15

concrete there are plans from [43ndash51] 16

17

bull CATL (China) to build 14 GWh in Germany Erfurt beyond 2020 18

bull LG Chem (Japan) to build 15 to 24 GWh (for 03 Mio EVs) in Poland beyond 2020 19

bull Samsung SDI (Japan) to build 10 to 15 GWh beyond 2020 in Hungary (including a 20

recent 5 GWh announcement for 21700 cells for Land Rover 21

bull SK Innovation (Japan) to build 75 GWh in Hungary beyond 2020 22

bull PanasonicTesla to build a (assumed 35GWh) Gigafactory in Europa around 2025 23

bull as well as from BYD (China) GS Yuasa (Japan) and Farasis (US) to build production 24

capacities between 2020 and 2025 25

26

The production capacities from Asian (or non-European) cell manufacturer might sum up to 27

well above 82-96 GWh by 2025 and including BYD GS Yuasa Farasis etc capacities far 28

above 100 GWh can be expected Together with the new EU cell producers this could easily 29

sum up towards the above mentioned 200 GWh demand in Europe But it also clearly indicates 30

44

the competition the emerging European players have to face (besides the fact that the plans 1

of the Asian companies are expected to be realized already several years earlier as those of 2

the novel EU companies) 3

2353 Product design trends and technological roadmap 4

Concerning the battery technology or type (by chemistry format etc) which will most likely 5

be produced to address this increasing demand the global roadmaps of cell producers are 6

basically similar Based on state-of-the art cell design (eg LFP NCA based ldquogeneration 1rdquo 7

and NMC111 to NMC532 ldquogeneration 2abrdquo Li-ion batteries) [52] and state-of-the-art 8

production equipment incremental improvements are expected in the next few years but with 9

the target to get to higher-energy lithium-ion batteries Concerning the electrolytes still liquid 10

electrolytes will be used but adopted to the changing electrode materials (eg with additives) 11

Current trends for layered oxide cathodes describe the development of Ni-rich (Co reduced) 12

materials (NMC) A few cell producers are already using NMC811 or comparable cathode 13

materials others are still adopting NMC622 (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3ardquo) On cathode 14

side maybe even lower-cost Mn-rich High Energy NMCs (HE-NMC) might be realized and 15

produced within ~10 years as Mn is cheaper than Ni (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3brdquo) On 16

anode side the trend is to incorporate Si-nano particles to make use of the alloying reaction 17

between Si and Li yielding a high capacitance This however comes at the cost of cycle life 18

Further down the road we might see higher Si contents (~20) 19

20

All-solid-state batteries are on the roadmap of many battery producers but also OEM (also 21

referred to as ldquogeneration 4rdquo) The key performance parameters (KPI) are suitable for electric 22

mobility (EV) Main challenges are indeed manufacturability particularly for ceramic solid state 23

electrolytes which promise to yield the highest advantages over state of the art technologies 24

The market introduction in niche applications is expected possible prior to the use in 25

automotive applications First all-solid-state batteries might not be competitive in terms of 26

energy density but safety properties Later on energy densities of 350-400 Whkg and higher 27

are expected 28

technologies (based on [33]) 3

Other technologies (not marked in blue in the above figure) feature certain USPs compared to 4

Li-ion batteries but (according to the current level of knowledge) do not reach the necessary 5

KPIs in terms of energy density power density and cycling stability necessary for electric 6

mobility (these are marked in grey) USPs of these technologies can be cost resource 7

availability either volumetric or gravimetric energy density or others But often even 8

fundamental challenges are not solved yet (eg concerning the stability of materials and 9

electrochemical systems kinetics etc) 10

24 Consumer expenditure base data 2

241 General objective of subtask 24 and approach 3

Subtask 24 gives an overview about average production costs and consumer prices incl 4

VAT (for consumer prices streetprice) excl VAT (for B2B products) as well as an estimation 5

of repair and maintenance as well as installation and disposal costs 6

Due to their recent larger scale market introduction there is still little experience with 7

maintenance as well as disposal expenses Hence only estimations can be made based on 8

isolated sources 9

242 Development of LIB cell costs 10

As the core of LIB based energy storage systems the battery cell exhibits the highest cost 11

share During the last years particularly standardized 18650 format LIB cells have 12

experienced a steep cost learning curve benefiting from production scale effects but also 13

from technological advancements on material level increasing the energy density per volume 14

and weight and decreasing the amount of cost intense Cobalt-based components Compared 15

to this benchmark larger format LIB cells (Pouch prismatic) as are utilized in xEVs and ESS 16

predominantly feature lower energy densities at higher cost per kWh There are however no 17

principal limitations which would prevent a performance and cost development similar to what 18

was observed for cylindrical cells Figure 39 shows the cost learning curves for cylindrical as 19

well as larger format LIB cells [33] Today average costs for cells suitable for automotive use 20

are below 150 eurokWh (cylindrical) and around 200 eurokWh (Pouchprismatic) In specific cases 21

prices around 100 eurokWh have been reported already [53] It should however be noted that 22

with the current market situation LIB prices being below costs are not unlikely to occur 23

Until 2025 production costs of the different cell formats are expected to approach and fall 24

below the mark of 100 eurokWh between 2020 and 2025 Taking further developments on 25

material level into account costs around 60-100 eurokWh seam feasible past 2025 26

Figure 39 Cost learning curves for large LIB cells (cylindrical and Pouchprismatic) [33] 3

Similar cost learning curves have been observed for other battery technologies (see Figure 4

40) In principal cost degression can be limited by demand (compare NiCd) or by reaching 5

material cost limits (compare Pb) Also the diffusion of battery technologies in new markets 6

or applications can lead to further technological improvements and justify higher production 7

costs (compare deviation of NiMH Pb) Following the available data for LIB cells approx 100 8

$kWh (~89 eurokWh) are reached at a cumulative yearly production of 1TWh This mark is 9

expected to be reached between 2020 and 2030 10

Beyond 2030 LIB production costs are however expected to start deviating from this curve 11

due to limiting raw material prices 12

243 Development of storage cost for xEVs and ESS 4

Will be added in a later review 6

2432 ESS 7

According to recent end-customer price data provided in [55] for 2018 typical consumer prices 8

for small scale (~10 kWh) stationary home storage systems are between 5000 and 15000 9

Euros leading to a relative price of 800 to 1200 eurokWh It is expected that these system prices 10

will benefit from the growing battery markets (also xEV) since similar LIB cell types can be 11

applied in both application areas With respect to inverters and other system related costs the 12

smaller market volume of home ESS indicates lower economy of scale effects as compared 13

to cells 14

244 Installation repair and maintenance costs 15

2441 xEV 16

So far no comprehensive information on repair and maintenance costs for the battery system 17

of xEVs are available Due to still rather accommodating service policies repair or 18

replacement of batteries is so far often covered by the manufacturer 19

Installation costs of home storage systems are estimated to be between 900 ndash 3500 euro [56] 2

245 LIB life-cycle disposal and recycling considerations 4

Will be added in a later review 5

2451 Second life and recycling considerations 6

Until today only pilot projects Strategy of automotive OEM regarding second life applications 7

is not known 8

Value of recycled materials can be estimated 9

Three main scenarios possible after end of 1st life (xEV) 10

1 Disposal of batteries (eg separation of liquid and solid components hazardous waste 11

disposal) 12

2 Recycling of batteries and direct regeneration and re-use of cathode materials (2a) or 13

recovery of metals (2b) 14

3 2nd life in ESS applications under limited load (low DOD cycling low power) 15

16

Scenario 1 will add another component to battery costs scenario 2 and 3 could significantly 17

decrease the cost of batteries if energy efficient recycling methods can be developed or viable 18

2nd life business models are established 19

26 Annex 1

2611 Modelling of addressable markets for electric applications 2

Vehicle markets (in units of registrations in the EU28 per year) and ESS markets (in units of 3

number of installed home PV systems or in units of overall renewable (PV wind) electricity 4

generation in the EU28 per year) were modelled by exponential functions 5

119872119905119886119901119901(119905) = 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 6

With Mtapp(t) being the total market volume of an application M0 the market size in 2015 and 7

120591 times 119871119899(2) the time t necessary to double the initial market volume M0 M0 and Tau were chosen 8

to fit existing market data 9

119872119886119901119901(119905) = 119888 times 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 10

With Mapp(t) being the addressable market and c a factor equal or smaller than 1 Parameter 11

c lt 1 was chosen to take into account that not the whole existing market Mtapp might be 12

addressable by electric technologies Eg a share of vehicles primarily used for long distance 13

travel might not be addressable by BEV but by PHEV only 14

The market addressable for passenger PHEV (as a transition technology on the path to full 15

electric vehicles) was modelled as the difference of total vehicle sales and BEV sales 16

119872119875119867119864119881(119905) = 119888 times 119872119905119901119886119904119904119890119899119892119890119903(119905) minus 119878119861119864119881(119905) 17

The market addressable for passenger BEV was modelled like Mapp(t) with c lt 1 18

2612 Modelling of sales numbers of xEV and ESS 19

Yearly sales numbers Sapp(t) for the different applications were modelled by logistic growth 20

functions Logistic functions can model diffusion of technologies into existing markets with a 21

given market volume M The market volume can be a moving target M = M(t) The relative 22

change of sales numbers Srsquoapp(t)Sapp(t) is proportional to the market volume not yet 23

developed by a technology Mapp(t) ndash Sapp(t) 24

119878119886119901119901(119905) = 119872119886119901119901(119905) times1

1 + 119864119909119901(minus119872119886119901119901(119905) times (119905 minus 1199050)120591)(119872119886119901119901(119905)

119878119886119901119901(1199050)minus 1)

25

With Tau being a time constant and Sapp(t0) being the yearly sales number at year t0 (eg 26

2015) 27

Short time constants Tau of few years were used to model ESS sales Due to limitations of 28

the existing electricity grid to only buffer a certain share of fluctuating PV and wind generated 29

electricity the further expansion of renewable electricity generation might be strongly coupled 30

to ESS installations Hence ESS sales were modelled to closely follow the assumed 31

installations of renewable power in the limit of ldquovery fastrdquo market diffusion (120591 rarr 0) 32

2613 Modelling of battery system capacities 33

Battery capacities EBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws In 34

particular BEV battery capacities increased in the last years from 30 kWh in 2013 to more than 35

40 kWh in 2018 (EU sales and production averages) In the long term we expect BEV 36

capacities to converge towards a value sufficient to provide average driving ranges of some 37

100 km Battery capacity growth rates are hence supposed to slow down 38

119864119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198640 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 1

With E0 being the average battery capacity in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years and 2

b an exponent lt 1 The parameters were chosen to fit existing data 3

2614 Modelling of battery replacement rates 4

Battery replacement rates RrBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws 5

The replacement rate defines the share of batteries installed in year t that had to be replaced 6

within the lifetime of a system (xEV ESS) In particular for vehicles it is assumed that xEV 7

manufacturers currently install battery cells with a high lifetime and cyclability (several 8

thousand cycles) In the mid-term we expect that battery life and vehicle life (eg 200000 to 9

300000 km) will be matched by car manufacturers Assuming a constant vehicle lifetime 10

battery replacement rates are supposed to increase over time 11

119877119903119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198770 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 12

With R0 being the average replacement rate in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years 13

and b an exponent lt 1 At present there is no data available to fit the parameters Parameters 14

were estimated based on the usage profile and load of different applications 15

2615 Modelling of system lifetimes (xEV ESS) 16

System lifetimes Ltsystem(t) were assumed to be constant Ltsystem(t)= Ltsystem Parameters were 17

estimated based on manufacturer statements and typical lifetimes for combustion powered 18

vehicles 19

2616 Calculation of battery replacements 20

Battery replacements RpBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 21

calculated by assuming a uniform distribution of battery replacements over the lifetime 22

Ltsystem(i) of battery systems installed in year i 23

119877119901119861119886119905119905(119905) = sum119877119903119861119886119905119905(119894) times 119878119886119901119901(119894) times 119864119861119886119905119905(119894)

24

2617 Calculation of battery decommissions 25

Battery decommissions DcBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 26

assumed to happen coincident with the end of life of the systems (Ltsystem) they were installed 27

in in year i This neglects any second life usage in t gt i It was assumed that xEV or ESS 28

manufacturers will tune the battery lifetime to match the system lifetime (see 2614) 29

2618 Calculation of yearly installed battery capacity 31

The yearly installed battery capacity Sbapp(t) in the EU28 was calculated as 32

119878119887119886119901119901(119905) = 119878119886119901119901(119905) times 119864119886119901119901119861119886119905119905(119905) + 119877119901119886119901119901

2 Task 2 Markets 1

The objective of Task 2 is to present an economic and market analysis of batteries according 2

to the definition presented in 121 The aims are 3

bull to place batteries (according to the definition provided in 121) within the context of EU 4

industry and trade policy (subtask 21) 5

bull to provide market size and cost inputs for the EU-wide environmental impact assessment 6

of the product group (subtask 22) 7

bull to provide insight into the latest market trends to help assess the impact of potential 8

Ecodesign measures with regard to market structures and ongoing trends in product 9

design (subtask 23 also relevant for the impact analyses in Task 3) and finally 10

bull to provide a practical data set of prices and rates to be used for Life Cycle Cost (LCC) 11

calculations (subtask 24) 12

21 Generic economic data 13

In the MEErP generic economic data refers to data that is available in official EU statistics 14

(eg PRODCOM) and the aim is to identify and report the lsquoEU apparent consumptionrsquo which 15

is defined as lsquoEU production + EU import ndash EU exportrsquo Also the average value of each product 16

is verified The information required for this subtask should be derived from official EU 17

statistics so as to be coherent with official data used in EU industry and trade policy 18

211 Approach to subtask 2 19

PRODCOM data is publicly available and is a direct source of market information PRODCOM 20

data does not give any direct information about the total number of installed batteries in use 21

in the EU28 member countries The data might also not account for batteries imported to or 22

exported from the EU as sub-unit of other products (eg batteries in cell phones) 23

2111 Secondary batteries related PRODCOM categories 24

Several categories on batteries exist within the NACE2 classification (see Table 1) however 25

there is no category for LIB cells modules or packs LIB based secondary batteries are 26

included in the composite category 2702300 along with all other not Pb-based secondary 27

battery technologies 28

27201100 Primary cells and primary batteries

27201200 Parts of primary cells and primary batteries (excluding battery

carbons for rechargeable batteries)

27202100 Lead-acid accumulators for starting piston engines

27202200 Lead-acid accumulators excluding for starting piston engines

27202300 Nickel-cadmium nickel metal hydride lithium-ion lithium

polymer nickel-iron and other electric accumulators

27202400 Parts of electric accumulators including separators

Table 1 PRODCOM categories related to batteries [1] 1

2112 SystemBMS related PRODCOM categories 2

Within the NACE2 classification there are no explicit categories for LIB system components 3

like the battery management system however there are categories including components 4

which are likely to be applied in the power electronics or BMS of battery packs and systems 5

A selection is listed in Table 2 Automatic circuit breakers as a part of technology crucial for 6

battery management systems are aggregated under PRODCOM categories 27122250 and 7

2121 Electric accumulators including LIBs 18

Figure 1 shows the development of production import and export volumes in Euro for 19

PRODCOM category 27202300 in the time from 1995 to 2017 The data shows an increase 20

of market volume in all three categories Since several battery technologies are aggregated in 21

this PRODCOM category values specific for LIB cannot obtained from this data Due to the 22

development of the different battery technologies it is likely that the market values in the 1990s 23

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

7

and early 2000s can mainly be attributed to NiMH NiCd and other technologies The growth 1

experienced since 2010 in all three market categories is likely to be a result of the development 2

in the LIB market which can be considered to be the dominant submarket under the battery 3

technologies aggregated under 27202300 today (see and compare section 233 with a global 4

analysis of different battery technologies) 5

Figure 1 EU production import and export summarized in PRODCOM category 27202300 7

Nickel-cadmium nickel metal hydride lithium-ion lithium polymer nickel-iron and other 8

electric accumulators [2] 9

Note that no production volumes in terms of units or kWh are available from Eurostat 10

The value of batteries integrated into applications or sold as end products in Europe can be 11

assessed by considering the EU consumption value (EU sales and trade) which results from 12

the sum of production and import minus export values (see Figure 2) After a plateau like 13

market behavior between 2000 and 2010 a steep increase of the EU consumption value can 14

be observed The 2017 value adds up to about 4 billion Euro Assuming that the majority share 15

of this value can be attributed to LIB with a market price of 300 to 500 eurokWh (Mix of higher 16

priced consumer cells and lower priced automotive cells) the value corresponds to a capacity 17

of 8 to 13 GWh In consideration of its estimated character this number is in accordance with 18

the data presented in section 224 (based on a bottom up estimation of the capacity demand 19

by passenger xEV and home storage ESS markets 3C markets are not considered) 20

Figure 2 EU sales and trade (PROD+IMP-EXP) summarized in PRODCOM category 3

27202300 Nickel-cadmium nickel metal hydride lithium-ion lithium polymer nickel-iron and 4

other electric accumulators [2] 5

Hence it can be assumed that the data presented in the PRODCOM database meets the right 6

magnitude Due to the aggregation of battery technologies the consumption value of LIB alone 7

can however not be assessed by this data Furthermore the large price spread for LIB and 8

the dynamic development of prices does not allow to reliably conclude on the demand of 9

battery capacity (GWh) An assessment of market development and installed LIB stock in 10

Europe is given in section 22 and 23 based on other data sources 11

2122 Circuit breakers as an example for BMS electronics 12

LIB cells as gathered in category 27202300 are only one of the subunits of battery systems 13

Housing protection cooling electrical and electronic components are supposedly measured 14

in different PRODCOM categories 15

Figure 3 Figure 4 Figure 5 and Figure 6 show production import export and EU sales and 16

trade data for automatic circuit breakers as potential component of BMS EU consumption 17

values do not show a clear upward trend comparable to the values for battery technologies 18

Although an increase of export and import values can be observed no clear correlation with 19

the production of battery systems for xEV or stationary storage in Europe can be observed 20

We conclude that the analysis of individual storage system related PRODCOM categories 21

does not allow to assess the market development for complete battery systems 22

221 General objective of subtask 22 and discussion of useful data 9

sources 10

The objective is to compile market and stock data in physical units for the EU for each of the 11

product categories defined in Task 11 and for the stock (1990-2015) combined with a forecast 12

2020-2050 Therefore the following parameters need to be identified 13

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

11

bull Market and installed stock assessment in units of number of systems (battery systems 1

for xEV battery systems for ESS) and corresponding battery capacity (MWh or GWh) 2

bull Replacement cycles and life time data This data is assumed to be strongly application 3

depending At present there is no comprehensive data available 4

2211 Useful data sources 5

Several market studies describing the present and future market situation for battery-based 6

applications exist Most of these studies have a global scope or focus on Asian countries due 7

to the structure of the battery market Comprehensive studies providing market data for the 8

EU and its member states are not known 9

To give an overview about stock and battery markets for the EU28 member states the 10

following bottom-up sources were utilized to give model estimations 11

bull Fraunhofer ISI in-house xEV database [3] The database has been developed in 2014 12

by Fraunhofer ISI and is updated since on an annual basis The last update was done 13

in November 2018 It covers global production and sales numbers for xEV models 14

broken down to countries as well as information on battery capacity and range of the 15

vehicles The database aggregates information provided by Marklines Co Ltd [4] the 16

European Alternative Fuels Observatory [5] the ev-sales blog [6] and other online 17

sources 18

bull Fraunhofer ISI in-house LIB database [7] The database covers information on the 19

major industrial players in the Li-ion business from materials to cell production The 20

development and location of production capacities is frequently updated Information 21

on performance and cost of commercially available battery cells as well as the meta 22

analysis of several studies providing forecasts on the respective developments are 23

also covered in the database Information is collected from several online sources and 24

available product data sheets 25

bull B3 corporation market studies B3 corporation provides topical market studies on xEV 26

ESS and material markets for Li-ion batteries The market data is updated on an 27

annual basis B3 studies have a global scope but occasionally also cover local 28

European markets 29

bull Additional market studies and databases as discussed in the following sections 30

222 Market stock and forecast for xEVs in Europe 31

As will be shown in section 23 the stock of installed medium or large-sized batteries in Europe 32

is strongly related to the diffusion of electric mobility In contrast to several Asian countries 33

xEV sales in Europe predominantly concern passenger cars Ebuses as well as light and 34

heavy commercial vehicles still do not play a major role in terms of installed capacity At 35

present the average energy content of a BEV passenger electric vehicle battery is higher than 36

40 kWh Small vehicles like the Renault Twizy feature a capacity of less than 10 kWh while 37

the models with highest capacity sold in EU28 countries approach the 100 kWh mark (Jaguar 38

iPace and Tesla Model X 90 kWh Tesla Model 3 73 kWh) The amount of battery capacity 39

installed in passenger PHEVs is about 10 kWh and has remained on a constant level over the 40

last years (see Figure 7) 41

2221 Production and sales of BEV 4

Figure 8 shows the number of produced BEVs [3] broken down to the production country from 5

2010 to 2018 A forecast until 2020 based on the average growth rates between 2016 and 6

2018 is shown in addition This production data is a measure for the demand of battery cells 7

in the individual EU28 countries 8

Germany France and the Netherlands lead the field of BEV producers in Europe On 9

European level an average yearly growth rate of over 40 can be observed It is expected 10

that the number of 150000 produced BEVs in 2018 will double in 2020 11

12

Figure 8 Production numbers for BEVs produced in EU28 countries and forecast until 2020 13

[3] 14

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

13

In contrast to the production data the sales numbers for BEV reflect the amount of installed 1

vehicle batteries in the individual EU28 countries It can be seen in Figure 9 that the proportion 2

among the EU28 countries in terms of sold vehicles is much more even as compared to the 3

production Germany France the United Kingdom and the Netherlands lead the market 4

however significant sales numbers can also be found in other countries The level and growth 5

rates of BEV sales is comparable to BEV production It should however be noted that there is 6

significant trade with other regions of the world eg BEV imports from KR (Hyundai) and JP 7

(Mitsubishi Nissan) and exports to North America (BMW Volkswagen) Hence the BEV 8

market can not be considered to be an internal market 9

10

Figure 9 Number of sold BEVs in EU28 member states and forecast until 2020 [3] 11

2222 Production and sales of PHEV 12

Similar to section 2221 production and sales numbers for PHEV resolved by country are 13

shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11 Although on a comparable level in terms of produced and 14

sold vehicles it must be emphasized that the contribution of PHEVs to the demand for battery 15

capacity is due to the smaller size of the battery much less than the demand generated by 16

BEVs At present the main production sites for PHEVs are located in Germany Due to 17

production sites for Audi (VW) and Volvo PHEVs Sweden and Slovakia also significantly 18

contribute to the production 19

The data presented in sections 2221 and 2222 was used as an input for a forecast model 10

on passenger PHEV and BEV as well as light and heavy commercial xEVs (see also [8] and 11

section 26) 12

It was assumed that extrapolated EU wide sales numbers and growth rates for passenger as 13

well as light vehicles [9] represent natural boundaries for the growth of xEV markets Logistic 14

growth functions (see setion 26) were used to model market diffusion Passenger BEV were 15

assumed to replace 75 of all passenger car sales in the long term Passenger PHEV were 16

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

15

assumed to be an initially faster growing transition technology which will partially be replaced 1

by BEV in the long term A passenger xEV lifetime of 12 years with battery replacement rates 2

of 15 per lifetime were assumed For commercial vehicles a lifetime of 9 years and 3

replacement rate of 25 and a lifetime of 12 years and battery replacement rate of 80 were 4

assumed for light and heavy vehicles respectively The assumption for the market model is 5

summarized in Table 3 and Table 4 and shall be subject to discussion during the stakeholder 6

meeting 7

223 Market stock and forecast for ESS in Europe 3

As discussed in Task 1 several stationary applications for batteries exist ranging from grid 4

support to home storage As will be shown in section 23 the demand for battery capacity 5

generated by ESS applications at present is rather small as compared to 3C and motive 6

markets There is no systematic registration of large scale or small scale stationary storage 7

systems in the EU Hence the market stock and volume for respective applications can only 8

be estimated based on indirect data 9

2231 Photovoltaic installations in the EU 10

Energy storage systems in combination with photovoltaic installations are one major 11

application for batteries both for private as well as commercial purposes Due to changes in 12

reimbursement and subsidy policy as well as the physical capability of the energy system to 13

buffer and process high shares of renewable energy the use of local energy storage systems 14

is becoming more and more popular There is no data on the share of PV installations 15

equipped with an energy storage system for the EU However on regional level some data is 16

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

20

available According to [10] approximately half of the PV systems with a peak power below 1

30 kW installed in Germany in 2017 have been equipped with an energy storage option 2

(amounting to about 30000 storage systems with a cumulative capacity of 400 MWh) 3

At present the installation of storage systems is strongly coupled to new installations of PV 4

systems As shown in Figure 16 with data on Germany the retrofit of existing PV installations 5

with storage systems is however expected to contribute significantly to the demand for battery 6

capacity in the PV segment in the future Within the forecast shown 50 of the sold storage 7

systems might be integrated into already existing PV-systems in 2030 8

Figure 16 PV installations and retrofit of existing PV installations in Germany Data and image 10

taken from [11] 11

Figure 17 shows the yearly installed PV power (MW) in the EU28 [12] A boom of PV 12

installations can clearly be observed for the years 2010 to 2012 mainly driven by installations 13

in Germany and Italy Likely as a result of changing subsidy policies the yearly installed PV 14

power has since then steadily decreased in both countries On the other hand a steady 15

increase in installations can be observed for the Netherlands and the UK In the forecast model 16

applied in [12] a slight increase in new installations is expected until 2021 driven by 17

installations in the UK and Portugal as well as member countries which so far do not have 18

any considerable PV installations Due to decreasing costs for solar panels and rather stable 19

remuneration rates this upward trend seems to be justified 20

Figure 17 PV installations in EU28 countries and forecast until 2020 Data taken from [12] 2

Based on the data given in [10] for Germany 80 of the installed PV systems can be attributed 3

to small or medium sized installations (average of 10 kWp) directly feeding into the low-voltage 4

grid In terms of power these systems amount to about 30 of the installations If equipped 5

with an energy storage system the average battery capacity amounts to 8 to 10 kWh [13] 6

Concerning installations in Europe it can be argued that there is a trend towards smaller roof-7

top systems for more densely populated and less sunny regions while in particular in the 8

southern European countries larger solar parks are favored Since no comprehensive data 9

covering the whole EU is available only a rough estimation for the demand of battery storage 10

systems and capacity can be made 11

Assuming that the number of smaller roof-top installations (30 of power) as well as the 12

number of systems equipped with an ESS (50 of installations lt 30 kWp) is above average 13

for Germany as compared to the rest of the EU the market data and forecasts given in [12] 14

and [11] would lead to a demand for battery capacity as summarized in Table 5 15

Similar to section 2231 for PV installations Figure 18 shows data and forecasts for wind 6

turbine power installations in the EU28 [12] In contrast to PV installations wind turbine power 7

is almost exclusively attributed to larger scale wind parks We conclude that the use of small 8

scale ESS for the optimization of private energy consumption is therefore not driven by wind 9

power installations 10

Still the ongoing installation of wind turbine power in the EU28 might become a driver for large 11

scale decentralized energy storage systems however there is no market data available which 12

would allow for a battery demand forecast 13

2234 Forecast ESS sales and stock EU28 2

The data presented in sections 2231 2232 and 2233 was used as an input for a forecast 3

model on large scale and home ESS 4

EU wide sales numbers and growth rates for PV coupled home storage systems were 5

extrapolated with declining growth rates for 2035 and beyond With respect to large scale ESS 6

it was assumed that the generation of electricity by renewable sources exceeding 17 (2015 7

value [15]) of the total electricity generation necessitates a certain amount of ESS buffer 8

capacity EU 2020 and 2030 targets [16 17] for the share of renewable electricity generation 9

were used as a forecast model The buffer capacity demand was estimated to be 70 of the 10

daily electrical energy generated by renewables exceeding the share of 17 11

A lifetime of 20 years with a replacement rate of 10 was assumed for home ESS and a 12

lifetime of 20 years with a battery replacement rate of 80 within this lifetime was assumed 13

for large scale ESS System capacities were modelled by a power law based on present-day 14

values The assumptions for the market model are summarized in Table 7 and Table 8 and 15

shall be subject to discussion during the stakeholder meeting 16

224 Summary of the market sales forecast and estimation of the future 1

and past stock 2

As shown in sections 222 and 223 several drivers exist for the application of battery storage 3

systems in stationary and motive applications While the demand for battery capacity 4

generated by BEV and PHEV passenger cars was on the level of several GWh for 2017 the 5

ESS markets might still be below the 1 GWh mark in the EU 6

With respect to the increase of average battery capacity installed in different applications (see 7

Figure 22) and the growth rates for the sales of xEV and ESS (see sections 2223 and 8

2232) forecasts for the total new installations (including replacements) of batteries in the 9

EU28 are shown in Figure 23 See annex for further comments 10

11

Figure 22 Average system battery energy (kWh or MWh) forecast 12

23 Market trends 3

231 General objective of subtask 23 and approach 4

The following chapter provides a comprehensive market overview on global battery sales 5

demand and players Starting with the market development of Lithium-ion batteries between 6

2010 to 2017 scenarios until 2025 to 2030 are presented including a meta-analysis of several 7

most recent market reports (eg [18ndash27]) Step by step the regional markets and markets by 8

applications will be specified 9

232 Market drivers and CO2 legislation [28] 10

Climate and energy policies are main drivers for the energy future and are expected to lead to 11

an increasing demand for energy storage in the mid and long term (see Figure 24) According 12

to the European Unionacutes decarbonization objective a reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) 13

emissions to 80 ndash 95 below 1990 levels should be achieved by 2050 14

In particular for the transport sector no full decarbonization is achieved [29] even in the longer 15

term (other sectors have to compensate with higher GHG reductions) The overall reduction 16

achieved in the transport sector by 2050 is only around 60 below 1990 levels The 17

increasing trend in emissions seen over the past 20 years is expected to reverse by the CO2 18

legislation From 2020 on the fleet average to be achieved by all new cars is 95 grams of CO2 19

per kilometer (compared to 130 gkm in 2015) 20

Many other governments world-wide have specified CO2 emission targets and are striving 21

towards a low carbon economy Particularly in the field of passenger and commercial vehicles 22

fuel consumption and emission targets have been installed which significantly drive the 23

introduction of battery or fuel cell powered electric vehicles Among these emission policies 24

the targets set by the EU are among the most ambitious (see Table 11) Meeting them will 25

require a significant share of electric vehicles 26

Table 11 Overview about fuel consumption and CO2-emission targets for passenger vehicles 1

of the EU and other countries leading battery and electric mobility markets [30] 2

In this context electric mobility is gaining importance since electric vehicles especially plug-3

in hybrid and pure battery electric vehicles can help to achieve or fulfill these limits due to 4

improved CO2 footprints compared to conventional cars However for low CO2 footprints over 5

the lifetime of electric cars a high share of ldquolow carbonrdquo renewable energy sources (RES) in 6

the energy mix is needed and important (Figure 24 left side) 7

8

Figure 24 Climate and energy policies as drivers for future energy storage demand [28] 9

The EU Energy Roadmap 2050 [31 32] has shown across six scenarios that the 10

decarbonization goal can be achieved if the share of renewable energy sources (RES) among 11

the power generation capacity is high (gt 60 until 2050) for all scenarios Especially for the 12

high RES scenario the share of fluctuating energy generation (wind photovoltaic ndash PV) is the 13

strongest which has to be balanced Grid expansion andor flexibilization measures (eg 14

demand side management power to gas and vehicle to grid besides stationary battery 15

storage) are potential solutions Thus the high RES scenario is the most interesting scenario 16

with respect to a potential future demand for energy storage solutions (ESS) on local 17

distribution and transmission grid levels (Figure 24 right side) In order to have a significant 18

GHG reduction with EVs it will also be important to achieve the RES targets 19

233 The developing battery market 1

The total annual battery market is currently on the level of 45-60 billion Euro representing 2

approximately 400-500 GWh (including Lead-acid Lithium-Ion and other batteries) [33] 3

Lithium-ion batteries (LIB) have succeeded because of their high gravimetric and volumetric 4

energy densities and have a market share of about a third in terms of value among the whole 5

battery market The growth is driven by the decreasing cell costs of less than 170 eurokWh for a 6

standard cylindrical cell (lowest prices) approaching the 90 eurokWh mark in the next years This 7

cost degression is due to increasing capacity demand and production and thus due to scale 8

effects 9

Although the LIB market is drastically growing with annual growth rates of up to 30 percent 10

on average (in terms of battery capacity demand) the dominating battery technology in terms 11

of capacity however are still lead-acid batteries representing about 90 percent of the global 12

demand in volume around 2010 and 80 percent in 2017 13

14

15

Figure 25 Historical development of the global battery demand in GWh (left axis for NiCd 16

NiMH right axis for all other battery types grey total battery demand) [34] 17

Other mature battery technologies like NiCd (still partly used in power tools) and NiMH (still 18

used in hybrid electric vehicles HEV) are slowly declining and are expected to disappear from 19

the market in the next decade The diversification of future battery applications however will 20

also broaden the range of battery technologies Emerging technologies like Na-based Metal-21

Sulfur or Redox Flow batteries are developing and may lead to attractive solutions eg with 22

respect to cost and resource availability advantages However due to very strict requirements 23

on volumetric energy densities these technologies are expected to be relevant for stationary 24

or other special markets and less for the most significant electric vehicle market In general 25

each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses and none of them can satisfy all user 26

demands Hence a broader application-specific technology portfolio is urgently needed in 27

order to provide alternative technology solutions in the future 28

The extremely dynamic development of the global LIB demand will lead to the TWh level latest 29

around 2030 and grow further after 2030 Thus LIB will very soon transform into the 30

dominating energy storage technology 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

34

Figure 26 shows three different scenarios for the global demand for LIB between 2010 and 1

2030 (green curves) along with global production capacities (orange and blue curve)[33] 2

While at the beginning of the decade the demand and sales numbers followed the medium 3

growth rate trend scenario the market has been approaching the high growth rate scenario in 4

the last years This is mainly due to the strong engagement of politics and respective 5

regulation and subsidy programs for electric mobility As can be seen from the graph the 6

share of demand generated by motive applications is expected to significantly grow in the next 7

years and might account for more than one third of the total LIB demand by 2025 8

To face this increasing demand for LIB cells accordingly production capacities need to be 9

build up in the near future Based on the currently existing cell production capacities and the 10

global announcements from established and new cell producers until 2025 the LIB cell 11

production capacities (blue line in 12

Figure 26) have been identified Compared to 15 GWh added production capacity between 13

2013 and 2016 in the next years around 50 GWh will be added annually leading to around 14

700 GWh production capacities until 2025 (in the optimistic case see blue line in 15

Figure 26) The announcements include established players such as Panasonic (JP) LG 16

Chem (KR) Samsung (KR) SKI (KR) BYD (CN) Lishen (CN) CATL (CN) CALB (CN) 17

OPTIMUM (CN) and several further Chinese cell producers Also new players such as TerraE 18

(DE) Northvolt (SW) Boston Energy (US AU) Energy Absolute (Thailand) are included 19

while accounting for the different stages of expansion [20 27] 20

21

234 Battery markets by application 23

Diversification of applications for batteries 24

The above described global developments of battery demand and production strongly concern 25

high-energy lithium-ion batteries with the cell chemistries NMC NCA (Ni-rich and Co-reduced 26

cathodes) and SiC (high capacity SiC anodes with 5-10 or higher Si content) and cell 27

formats cylindrical (eg larger 21700 compared to standard 18650) large pouch or prismatic 28

cells The target is to develop and produce cells with improved gravimetric and volumetric 29

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

35

energy densities and reduced costs in order to meet the requirements of the automotive 1

industry Electric passenger cars are driving the demand and thus development of the battery 2

technology and these optimized and cost reduced batteries define the benchmark today and 3

in the future 4

LIB demand by applications 5

In Figure 27 the global LIB demand is broken down to the three main sectors for battery 6

demand which can be characterised each having different profiles of requirement 7

bull electric mobility or electric vehicles (EV including eg passenger cars light 8

commercial vehicles buses trucks scooters ebikes etc) 9

bull stationary energy storage systems (ESS) and 10

bull portable devices (3C ndash Computer Communication Consumer) 11

The LIB cell demand developed to almost 25 GWh in 2010 since the market introduction in 12

the early 1990s and dominantly resulted from portable devices In 2015 the cell demand of 13

about 70 GWh was distributed already almost 5050 between 3C and EV applications 14

15

Figure 27 Global LIB demand (in GWh and share in ) by segment [34] 16

Since 2015 the global LIB demand has increased with compound annual growth rates 17

(CAGR) of ~25 from about 70 GWh to about 110 GWh in 2017 The market for electric 18

vehicles currently grows with 30-40 (and more depending on the application and region) and 19

a diversification in applications (eg buses trucks other light to heavy commercial vehicles 20

marine applications drones etc) can be observed 21

With the diversification of future markets and applications cost sensitive markets will arise for 22

which optimized high-energy and cost reduced automotive cells of certain cell formats will be 23

used However also applications with stronger requirements on long lifetime high cycleability 24

fast charging capability safety etc will emerge and diffuse where cost is not the most 25

relevant factor and other battery technologies (ie cell chemistries formats) can provide a 26

unique selling proposition and hence lead to a product differentiation 27

2341 LIB markets for 3C applications 28

Portable devices (3C) have been the main applications for LIB cells in the past Power tools 29

medical devices and wearables are expected to be products with an emerging future market 30

for small LIB cells but with enormous quantities The price per kWh that can be stored plays a 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

36

less important role for these applications As far as charging is concerned technologies such 1

as energy harvesting and wireless charging are expected to be introduced in the future For 2

many markets and products such as household devices garden cleaning power tools other 3

mobile leisure applications etc today mostly cylindrical LIB cells of the format 18650 are used 4

With the introduction of 21700 cells also larger cylindrical cells become available now and are 5

expected to be used in diffuse in such applications Although different specific cell chemistries 6

might be suitable depending on the concrete application again it can be stated that the 3C 7

segment is expected to lead to a comparably small battery capacity demand compared to the 8

EV segment and will not be the limiting segment with respect to the risk of resource 9

dependencies 10

In the next few years growth rates of about 5 to 10 percent are expected for the 3C markets 11

while laptop battery demand is developing at lower growth rates and power tools medical 12

devices etc are supporting the growth rates for the battery demand 13

14

15

Figure 28 Demand and growth of the 3C LIB market [34] 16

2342 LIB markets for stationary (ESS) applications 17

Stationary energy storage systems (ESS) can be divided into different size classes with regard 18

to the capacity and charging times Both together decide on the application area (eg small 19

PV storage at home peak load to long-term storage) [35] Beyond that the price per kWh put 20

through over the lifetime is the economic key factor (as synthesized by the LCOE levelized 21

cost of energy) In contrast gravimetric and volumetric energy density plays a subordinate 22

role Due to that lead-acid batteries were often used as storage technology for off- and on-23

grid storage Currently LIBs are being established for commercial use and meanwhile reach 24

an annual demand of some few GWh Other electrochemical storage technologies such as 25

sodium-sulfur batteries are still used but the demand for LIB is strongly increasing for ESS It 26

is expected that 2nd life concepts for batteries that had their first life in electric vehicles will 27

gain importance together with market diffusion in the EV segment as the requirements on the 28

batteries are less demanding in the ESS segment This however will require the development 29

of according business models standardization etc The much broader available technology 30

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

37

portfolio for ESS applications the use of 2nd life batteries and the fact that electric vehicle 1

batteries that are connected to the grid on a large scale with higher market diffusion can be 2

regarded as stationary storage systems as well (vehicle to grid V2G grid to vehicle G2V) help 3

to reduce the risk of technological and resource dependencies in the future 4

The market for stationary storage applications (ESS) is experiencing growth rates of 20 to 30 5

percent depending on individual market forecasts (in the last years CAGR have even been on 6

the level of 60 but decrease with increasing size of the market see Figure 29) 7

The market is currently on a level of few GWh including applications from smaller PV storage 8

systems of 5-10 kWh to larger industrial and grid connected installations for own power 9

consumption peak shaving etc on the MWh level Regarding these growth rates LIB for ESS 10

applications rapidly gain importance as de-central storage solutions compared to the currently 11

dominating central pumped hydro storage (PHS) Forecasts to 2025 differ by size and expect 12

an ESS LIB demand between 20-50 GWh (partially higher eg in [23]) but all forecasts identify 13

high growth rates 14

15

Figure 29 Demand and growth of the ESS LIB market [34] 16

17

2343 LIB markets for electric vehicle applications 18

One of the biggest challenges for batteries for electric vehicles (EV including electric cars 19

buses trucks etc) apart from their price is the increase of their volumetric and gravimetric 20

energy density The volumetric energy density is even more important for OEM due to 21

restricted and fixed space and location of the battery in an electric vehicle A very relevant 22

parameter of a battery is its charging and discharging power in particular in continuous 23

operation It determines the fast-charging capability which is an important argument in the 24

use and the establishment on the market At the same time this sets limits to the high-25

performance operation since energy consumption is reduced to protect the battery from 26

damage This illustrates the conflicting effect of different parameters on the battery lifetime 27

Price volume weight and thus charge density as well as chargedischarge rate in terms of 28

usage and durability are the most urgent challenges for battery manufacturers 29

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

38

The market for EV batteries is currently at the level of about 50 GWh (including electric 1

passenger cars busses trucks ebikes scooter forklifts etc) Growth rates are at 20 to 40 2

percent and the demand for EV batteries will lead to a share of about 66 percent in 2020 76 3

percent until 2025 and 80 percent or higher in the long term Electric passenger cars (BEV 4

and PHEV) define the by far largest market within the EV segment and are clearly driving the 5

technology development of high energy Lithium-Ion or Lithium-based batteries in the future 6

7

Figure 30 Demand and growth of the EV LIB market [34] 8

9

Other motive (or stationary or portable) markets applications besides the highly competitive 10

electric passenger cars therefore can offer interesting growth markets also for smaller cell 11

producers beyond the large Japanese Korean and Chinese cell producers These markets or 12

applications very often define concrete requirements for the battery performance they require 13

an in depth understanding and design from the cell chemistry format to the modulepack and 14

system integration and they still vary strongly by region and are connected to individual system 15

integrators or OEM This is because each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses 16

and none of them can satisfy all userapplication demands Hence a broader application 17

235 Market channels and production structure 21

2351 Global production capacities and major players 22

Since their commercialization in the 1990s LIB have been predominantly produced by 23

Japanese and Korean companies Driven by the Chinese government particularly cell 24

producers but also companies covering other steps of the LIB value creation chain have been 25

established in China Due to a policy of simultaneous support for LIB production as well as for 26

application markets and due to an extensive subsidy scheme a large share of LIB production 27

capacities is located in China today 28

Figure 31 Figure 32 Figure 33 and Figure 34 show the global LIB production capacities of 29

major cell producers in 2018 as well as forecasts for 2020 2025 and 2030 respectively [36] 30

The data is based on announcements made by the cell producers As discussed in section 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

39

233 the actual time-frame for the implementation of the capacity expansions is often delayed 1

with respect to the original announcements Hence minimum and maximum values for the 2

production capacities are given 3

Figure 34 Global LIB production capacities of major cell producers in 2030 [36] 2

Until 2030 the announced production capacities add up to more than 1 TWh In total there 3

are about 30 cell producers which have announced to build up production capacities of more 4

than 10 GWhyear which can be considered to be a threshold in order to be able to produce 5

at competitve costs [36] If the announced capacities are fully utilized the ldquobig 4rdquo (Panasonic 6

CATL LGC and BYD) will be able to fully cover the market demand (gt550 GWh) until 2025 7

2352 Europes position in the global battery value chain 8

In the EU several actors are positioned which cover production steps along the whole value 9

chain of LIBs starting from raw material production to production of cells and systems and 10

finally recycling However with respect to global markets only few organizations within the EU 11

have a market share of more than 1 in their specific segment eg BASF Germany in the 12

field of electrolyte production [30] 13

An overview about existing and active companies is given by the European Battery Alliance 14

(see Figure 35) Due to the presence of strong automotive OEM LIB pack manufacturing and 15

system integration is taking place on large scale in Europe A particular gap in the value chain 16

is present due to the lack of a large-scale cell production capable of serving the volumes and 17

prices required by the automotive industry 18

Several consortia are currently attempting to build up a European large scale cell 4

manufacturing such as Nothvolt (Sweden) with 32 GWh until 2023 or Saft (together with 5

Siemens and Manz) [39] Recently the German government announced plans for funding of 6

a Batterie-Cell-Alliance between Germany and Poland with cell production capacities in the 7

Regions Lausitz (Germany) and Westpoland [40 41] At the cross section between RampD and 8

large-scale production also a Research Production with 600 Mio EUR funding is foreseen 9

whereas the Fraunhofer Society should coordinate and run such a research production [42] 10

The announced funding from the German government sums up to 2 bn EUR 11

Given all these announced investments and production capacities to build up in the next years 12

the cell production capacities of European cell manufacturers could sum up to over 40 GWh 13

beyond 2025 In contrast main Asian cell manufacturer have already started with cell 14

production (eg LG SDI) or plan to build up production capacities until 2020 to 2025 In 15

concrete there are plans from [43ndash51] 16

17

bull CATL (China) to build 14 GWh in Germany Erfurt beyond 2020 18

bull LG Chem (Japan) to build 15 to 24 GWh (for 03 Mio EVs) in Poland beyond 2020 19

bull Samsung SDI (Japan) to build 10 to 15 GWh beyond 2020 in Hungary (including a 20

recent 5 GWh announcement for 21700 cells for Land Rover 21

bull SK Innovation (Japan) to build 75 GWh in Hungary beyond 2020 22

bull PanasonicTesla to build a (assumed 35GWh) Gigafactory in Europa around 2025 23

bull as well as from BYD (China) GS Yuasa (Japan) and Farasis (US) to build production 24

capacities between 2020 and 2025 25

26

The production capacities from Asian (or non-European) cell manufacturer might sum up to 27

well above 82-96 GWh by 2025 and including BYD GS Yuasa Farasis etc capacities far 28

above 100 GWh can be expected Together with the new EU cell producers this could easily 29

sum up towards the above mentioned 200 GWh demand in Europe But it also clearly indicates 30

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

44

the competition the emerging European players have to face (besides the fact that the plans 1

of the Asian companies are expected to be realized already several years earlier as those of 2

the novel EU companies) 3

2353 Product design trends and technological roadmap 4

Concerning the battery technology or type (by chemistry format etc) which will most likely 5

be produced to address this increasing demand the global roadmaps of cell producers are 6

basically similar Based on state-of-the art cell design (eg LFP NCA based ldquogeneration 1rdquo 7

and NMC111 to NMC532 ldquogeneration 2abrdquo Li-ion batteries) [52] and state-of-the-art 8

production equipment incremental improvements are expected in the next few years but with 9

the target to get to higher-energy lithium-ion batteries Concerning the electrolytes still liquid 10

electrolytes will be used but adopted to the changing electrode materials (eg with additives) 11

Current trends for layered oxide cathodes describe the development of Ni-rich (Co reduced) 12

materials (NMC) A few cell producers are already using NMC811 or comparable cathode 13

materials others are still adopting NMC622 (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3ardquo) On cathode 14

side maybe even lower-cost Mn-rich High Energy NMCs (HE-NMC) might be realized and 15

produced within ~10 years as Mn is cheaper than Ni (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3brdquo) On 16

anode side the trend is to incorporate Si-nano particles to make use of the alloying reaction 17

between Si and Li yielding a high capacitance This however comes at the cost of cycle life 18

Further down the road we might see higher Si contents (~20) 19

20

All-solid-state batteries are on the roadmap of many battery producers but also OEM (also 21

referred to as ldquogeneration 4rdquo) The key performance parameters (KPI) are suitable for electric 22

mobility (EV) Main challenges are indeed manufacturability particularly for ceramic solid state 23

electrolytes which promise to yield the highest advantages over state of the art technologies 24

The market introduction in niche applications is expected possible prior to the use in 25

automotive applications First all-solid-state batteries might not be competitive in terms of 26

energy density but safety properties Later on energy densities of 350-400 Whkg and higher 27

are expected 28

Other technologies (not marked in blue in the above figure) feature certain USPs compared to 4

Li-ion batteries but (according to the current level of knowledge) do not reach the necessary 5

KPIs in terms of energy density power density and cycling stability necessary for electric 6

mobility (these are marked in grey) USPs of these technologies can be cost resource 7

availability either volumetric or gravimetric energy density or others But often even 8

fundamental challenges are not solved yet (eg concerning the stability of materials and 9

electrochemical systems kinetics etc) 10

24 Consumer expenditure base data 2

241 General objective of subtask 24 and approach 3

Subtask 24 gives an overview about average production costs and consumer prices incl 4

VAT (for consumer prices streetprice) excl VAT (for B2B products) as well as an estimation 5

of repair and maintenance as well as installation and disposal costs 6

Due to their recent larger scale market introduction there is still little experience with 7

maintenance as well as disposal expenses Hence only estimations can be made based on 8

isolated sources 9

242 Development of LIB cell costs 10

As the core of LIB based energy storage systems the battery cell exhibits the highest cost 11

share During the last years particularly standardized 18650 format LIB cells have 12

experienced a steep cost learning curve benefiting from production scale effects but also 13

from technological advancements on material level increasing the energy density per volume 14

and weight and decreasing the amount of cost intense Cobalt-based components Compared 15

to this benchmark larger format LIB cells (Pouch prismatic) as are utilized in xEVs and ESS 16

predominantly feature lower energy densities at higher cost per kWh There are however no 17

principal limitations which would prevent a performance and cost development similar to what 18

was observed for cylindrical cells Figure 39 shows the cost learning curves for cylindrical as 19

well as larger format LIB cells [33] Today average costs for cells suitable for automotive use 20

are below 150 eurokWh (cylindrical) and around 200 eurokWh (Pouchprismatic) In specific cases 21

prices around 100 eurokWh have been reported already [53] It should however be noted that 22

with the current market situation LIB prices being below costs are not unlikely to occur 23

Until 2025 production costs of the different cell formats are expected to approach and fall 24

below the mark of 100 eurokWh between 2020 and 2025 Taking further developments on 25

material level into account costs around 60-100 eurokWh seam feasible past 2025 26

Figure 39 Cost learning curves for large LIB cells (cylindrical and Pouchprismatic) [33] 3

Similar cost learning curves have been observed for other battery technologies (see Figure 4

40) In principal cost degression can be limited by demand (compare NiCd) or by reaching 5

material cost limits (compare Pb) Also the diffusion of battery technologies in new markets 6

or applications can lead to further technological improvements and justify higher production 7

costs (compare deviation of NiMH Pb) Following the available data for LIB cells approx 100 8

$kWh (~89 eurokWh) are reached at a cumulative yearly production of 1TWh This mark is 9

expected to be reached between 2020 and 2030 10

Beyond 2030 LIB production costs are however expected to start deviating from this curve 11

due to limiting raw material prices 12

2432 ESS 7

According to recent end-customer price data provided in [55] for 2018 typical consumer prices 8

for small scale (~10 kWh) stationary home storage systems are between 5000 and 15000 9

Euros leading to a relative price of 800 to 1200 eurokWh It is expected that these system prices 10

will benefit from the growing battery markets (also xEV) since similar LIB cell types can be 11

applied in both application areas With respect to inverters and other system related costs the 12

smaller market volume of home ESS indicates lower economy of scale effects as compared 13

to cells 14

244 Installation repair and maintenance costs 15

2441 xEV 16

So far no comprehensive information on repair and maintenance costs for the battery system 17

of xEVs are available Due to still rather accommodating service policies repair or 18

replacement of batteries is so far often covered by the manufacturer 19

245 LIB life-cycle disposal and recycling considerations 4

Will be added in a later review 5

2451 Second life and recycling considerations 6

Until today only pilot projects Strategy of automotive OEM regarding second life applications 7

is not known 8

Value of recycled materials can be estimated 9

Three main scenarios possible after end of 1st life (xEV) 10

1 Disposal of batteries (eg separation of liquid and solid components hazardous waste 11

disposal) 12

2 Recycling of batteries and direct regeneration and re-use of cathode materials (2a) or 13

recovery of metals (2b) 14

3 2nd life in ESS applications under limited load (low DOD cycling low power) 15

16

Scenario 1 will add another component to battery costs scenario 2 and 3 could significantly 17

decrease the cost of batteries if energy efficient recycling methods can be developed or viable 18

2nd life business models are established 19

26 Annex 1

2611 Modelling of addressable markets for electric applications 2

Vehicle markets (in units of registrations in the EU28 per year) and ESS markets (in units of 3

number of installed home PV systems or in units of overall renewable (PV wind) electricity 4

generation in the EU28 per year) were modelled by exponential functions 5

119872119905119886119901119901(119905) = 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 6

With Mtapp(t) being the total market volume of an application M0 the market size in 2015 and 7

120591 times 119871119899(2) the time t necessary to double the initial market volume M0 M0 and Tau were chosen 8

to fit existing market data 9

119872119886119901119901(119905) = 119888 times 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 10

With Mapp(t) being the addressable market and c a factor equal or smaller than 1 Parameter 11

c lt 1 was chosen to take into account that not the whole existing market Mtapp might be 12

addressable by electric technologies Eg a share of vehicles primarily used for long distance 13

travel might not be addressable by BEV but by PHEV only 14

The market addressable for passenger PHEV (as a transition technology on the path to full 15

electric vehicles) was modelled as the difference of total vehicle sales and BEV sales 16

119872119875119867119864119881(119905) = 119888 times 119872119905119901119886119904119904119890119899119892119890119903(119905) minus 119878119861119864119881(119905) 17

The market addressable for passenger BEV was modelled like Mapp(t) with c lt 1 18

2612 Modelling of sales numbers of xEV and ESS 19

Yearly sales numbers Sapp(t) for the different applications were modelled by logistic growth 20

functions Logistic functions can model diffusion of technologies into existing markets with a 21

given market volume M The market volume can be a moving target M = M(t) The relative 22

change of sales numbers Srsquoapp(t)Sapp(t) is proportional to the market volume not yet 23

developed by a technology Mapp(t) ndash Sapp(t) 24

119878119886119901119901(119905) = 119872119886119901119901(119905) times1

1 + 119864119909119901(minus119872119886119901119901(119905) times (119905 minus 1199050)120591)(119872119886119901119901(119905)

119878119886119901119901(1199050)minus 1)

25

With Tau being a time constant and Sapp(t0) being the yearly sales number at year t0 (eg 26

2015) 27

Short time constants Tau of few years were used to model ESS sales Due to limitations of 28

the existing electricity grid to only buffer a certain share of fluctuating PV and wind generated 29

electricity the further expansion of renewable electricity generation might be strongly coupled 30

to ESS installations Hence ESS sales were modelled to closely follow the assumed 31

installations of renewable power in the limit of ldquovery fastrdquo market diffusion (120591 rarr 0) 32

2613 Modelling of battery system capacities 33

Battery capacities EBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws In 34

particular BEV battery capacities increased in the last years from 30 kWh in 2013 to more than 35

40 kWh in 2018 (EU sales and production averages) In the long term we expect BEV 36

capacities to converge towards a value sufficient to provide average driving ranges of some 37

100 km Battery capacity growth rates are hence supposed to slow down 38

119864119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198640 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 1

With E0 being the average battery capacity in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years and 2

b an exponent lt 1 The parameters were chosen to fit existing data 3

2614 Modelling of battery replacement rates 4

Battery replacement rates RrBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws 5

The replacement rate defines the share of batteries installed in year t that had to be replaced 6

within the lifetime of a system (xEV ESS) In particular for vehicles it is assumed that xEV 7

manufacturers currently install battery cells with a high lifetime and cyclability (several 8

thousand cycles) In the mid-term we expect that battery life and vehicle life (eg 200000 to 9

300000 km) will be matched by car manufacturers Assuming a constant vehicle lifetime 10

battery replacement rates are supposed to increase over time 11

119877119903119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198770 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 12

With R0 being the average replacement rate in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years 13

and b an exponent lt 1 At present there is no data available to fit the parameters Parameters 14

were estimated based on the usage profile and load of different applications 15

2615 Modelling of system lifetimes (xEV ESS) 16

System lifetimes Ltsystem(t) were assumed to be constant Ltsystem(t)= Ltsystem Parameters were 17

estimated based on manufacturer statements and typical lifetimes for combustion powered 18

vehicles 19

2616 Calculation of battery replacements 20

Battery replacements RpBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 21

calculated by assuming a uniform distribution of battery replacements over the lifetime 22

Ltsystem(i) of battery systems installed in year i 23

119877119901119861119886119905119905(119905) = sum119877119903119861119886119905119905(119894) times 119878119886119901119901(119894) times 119864119861119886119905119905(119894)

2617 Calculation of battery decommissions 25

Battery decommissions DcBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 26

assumed to happen coincident with the end of life of the systems (Ltsystem) they were installed 27

in in year i This neglects any second life usage in t gt i It was assumed that xEV or ESS 28

manufacturers will tune the battery lifetime to match the system lifetime (see 2614) 29

2618 Calculation of yearly installed battery capacity 31

The yearly installed battery capacity Sbapp(t) in the EU28 was calculated as 32

119878119887119886119901119901(119905) = 119878119886119901119901(119905) times 119864119886119901119901119861119886119905119905(119905) + 119877119901119886119901119901

2 Task 2 Markets 1

The objective of Task 2 is to present an economic and market analysis of batteries according 2

to the definition presented in 121 The aims are 3

bull to place batteries (according to the definition provided in 121) within the context of EU 4

industry and trade policy (subtask 21) 5

bull to provide market size and cost inputs for the EU-wide environmental impact assessment 6

of the product group (subtask 22) 7

bull to provide insight into the latest market trends to help assess the impact of potential 8

Ecodesign measures with regard to market structures and ongoing trends in product 9

design (subtask 23 also relevant for the impact analyses in Task 3) and finally 10

bull to provide a practical data set of prices and rates to be used for Life Cycle Cost (LCC) 11

calculations (subtask 24) 12

21 Generic economic data 13

In the MEErP generic economic data refers to data that is available in official EU statistics 14

(eg PRODCOM) and the aim is to identify and report the lsquoEU apparent consumptionrsquo which 15

is defined as lsquoEU production + EU import ndash EU exportrsquo Also the average value of each product 16

is verified The information required for this subtask should be derived from official EU 17

statistics so as to be coherent with official data used in EU industry and trade policy 18

211 Approach to subtask 2 19

PRODCOM data is publicly available and is a direct source of market information PRODCOM 20

data does not give any direct information about the total number of installed batteries in use 21

in the EU28 member countries The data might also not account for batteries imported to or 22

exported from the EU as sub-unit of other products (eg batteries in cell phones) 23

2111 Secondary batteries related PRODCOM categories 24

Several categories on batteries exist within the NACE2 classification (see Table 1) however 25

there is no category for LIB cells modules or packs LIB based secondary batteries are 26

included in the composite category 2702300 along with all other not Pb-based secondary 27

battery technologies 28

27201100 Primary cells and primary batteries

27201200 Parts of primary cells and primary batteries (excluding battery

carbons for rechargeable batteries)

27202100 Lead-acid accumulators for starting piston engines

27202200 Lead-acid accumulators excluding for starting piston engines

27202300 Nickel-cadmium nickel metal hydride lithium-ion lithium

polymer nickel-iron and other electric accumulators

Table 1 PRODCOM categories related to batteries [1] 1

2112 SystemBMS related PRODCOM categories 2

Within the NACE2 classification there are no explicit categories for LIB system components 3

like the battery management system however there are categories including components 4

which are likely to be applied in the power electronics or BMS of battery packs and systems 5

A selection is listed in Table 2 Automatic circuit breakers as a part of technology crucial for 6

battery management systems are aggregated under PRODCOM categories 27122250 and 7

breakers for a voltage le 1 kV and for a current gt 63 A and 27122230 Automatic circuit breakers 14

for a voltage le 1 kV and for a current le 63 A are analyzed in more detail for the years 1995 15

2121 Electric accumulators including LIBs 18

Figure 1 shows the development of production import and export volumes in Euro for 19

PRODCOM category 27202300 in the time from 1995 to 2017 The data shows an increase 20

of market volume in all three categories Since several battery technologies are aggregated in 21

this PRODCOM category values specific for LIB cannot obtained from this data Due to the 22

development of the different battery technologies it is likely that the market values in the 1990s 23

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

7

and early 2000s can mainly be attributed to NiMH NiCd and other technologies The growth 1

experienced since 2010 in all three market categories is likely to be a result of the development 2

in the LIB market which can be considered to be the dominant submarket under the battery 3

technologies aggregated under 27202300 today (see and compare section 233 with a global 4

analysis of different battery technologies) 5

Figure 1 EU production import and export summarized in PRODCOM category 27202300 7

Nickel-cadmium nickel metal hydride lithium-ion lithium polymer nickel-iron and other 8

electric accumulators [2] 9

Note that no production volumes in terms of units or kWh are available from Eurostat 10

The value of batteries integrated into applications or sold as end products in Europe can be 11

assessed by considering the EU consumption value (EU sales and trade) which results from 12

the sum of production and import minus export values (see Figure 2) After a plateau like 13

market behavior between 2000 and 2010 a steep increase of the EU consumption value can 14

be observed The 2017 value adds up to about 4 billion Euro Assuming that the majority share 15

of this value can be attributed to LIB with a market price of 300 to 500 eurokWh (Mix of higher 16

priced consumer cells and lower priced automotive cells) the value corresponds to a capacity 17

of 8 to 13 GWh In consideration of its estimated character this number is in accordance with 18

the data presented in section 224 (based on a bottom up estimation of the capacity demand 19

by passenger xEV and home storage ESS markets 3C markets are not considered) 20

Figure 2 EU sales and trade (PROD+IMP-EXP) summarized in PRODCOM category 3

27202300 Nickel-cadmium nickel metal hydride lithium-ion lithium polymer nickel-iron and 4

other electric accumulators [2] 5

Hence it can be assumed that the data presented in the PRODCOM database meets the right 6

magnitude Due to the aggregation of battery technologies the consumption value of LIB alone 7

can however not be assessed by this data Furthermore the large price spread for LIB and 8

the dynamic development of prices does not allow to reliably conclude on the demand of 9

battery capacity (GWh) An assessment of market development and installed LIB stock in 10

Europe is given in section 22 and 23 based on other data sources 11

2122 Circuit breakers as an example for BMS electronics 12

LIB cells as gathered in category 27202300 are only one of the subunits of battery systems 13

Housing protection cooling electrical and electronic components are supposedly measured 14

in different PRODCOM categories 15

Figure 3 Figure 4 Figure 5 and Figure 6 show production import export and EU sales and 16

trade data for automatic circuit breakers as potential component of BMS EU consumption 17

values do not show a clear upward trend comparable to the values for battery technologies 18

Although an increase of export and import values can be observed no clear correlation with 19

the production of battery systems for xEV or stationary storage in Europe can be observed 20

We conclude that the analysis of individual storage system related PRODCOM categories 21

does not allow to assess the market development for complete battery systems 22

22 Market and stock data 8

221 General objective of subtask 22 and discussion of useful data 9

sources 10

The objective is to compile market and stock data in physical units for the EU for each of the 11

product categories defined in Task 11 and for the stock (1990-2015) combined with a forecast 12

2020-2050 Therefore the following parameters need to be identified 13

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

11

bull Market and installed stock assessment in units of number of systems (battery systems 1

for xEV battery systems for ESS) and corresponding battery capacity (MWh or GWh) 2

bull Replacement cycles and life time data This data is assumed to be strongly application 3

depending At present there is no comprehensive data available 4

2211 Useful data sources 5

Several market studies describing the present and future market situation for battery-based 6

applications exist Most of these studies have a global scope or focus on Asian countries due 7

to the structure of the battery market Comprehensive studies providing market data for the 8

EU and its member states are not known 9

To give an overview about stock and battery markets for the EU28 member states the 10

following bottom-up sources were utilized to give model estimations 11

bull Fraunhofer ISI in-house xEV database [3] The database has been developed in 2014 12

by Fraunhofer ISI and is updated since on an annual basis The last update was done 13

in November 2018 It covers global production and sales numbers for xEV models 14

broken down to countries as well as information on battery capacity and range of the 15

vehicles The database aggregates information provided by Marklines Co Ltd [4] the 16

European Alternative Fuels Observatory [5] the ev-sales blog [6] and other online 17

sources 18

bull Fraunhofer ISI in-house LIB database [7] The database covers information on the 19

major industrial players in the Li-ion business from materials to cell production The 20

development and location of production capacities is frequently updated Information 21

on performance and cost of commercially available battery cells as well as the meta 22

analysis of several studies providing forecasts on the respective developments are 23

also covered in the database Information is collected from several online sources and 24

available product data sheets 25

bull B3 corporation market studies B3 corporation provides topical market studies on xEV 26

ESS and material markets for Li-ion batteries The market data is updated on an 27

annual basis B3 studies have a global scope but occasionally also cover local 28

European markets 29

bull Additional market studies and databases as discussed in the following sections 30

222 Market stock and forecast for xEVs in Europe 31

As will be shown in section 23 the stock of installed medium or large-sized batteries in Europe 32

is strongly related to the diffusion of electric mobility In contrast to several Asian countries 33

xEV sales in Europe predominantly concern passenger cars Ebuses as well as light and 34

heavy commercial vehicles still do not play a major role in terms of installed capacity At 35

present the average energy content of a BEV passenger electric vehicle battery is higher than 36

40 kWh Small vehicles like the Renault Twizy feature a capacity of less than 10 kWh while 37

the models with highest capacity sold in EU28 countries approach the 100 kWh mark (Jaguar 38

iPace and Tesla Model X 90 kWh Tesla Model 3 73 kWh) The amount of battery capacity 39

installed in passenger PHEVs is about 10 kWh and has remained on a constant level over the 40

last years (see Figure 7) 41

2221 Production and sales of BEV 4

Figure 8 shows the number of produced BEVs [3] broken down to the production country from 5

2010 to 2018 A forecast until 2020 based on the average growth rates between 2016 and 6

2018 is shown in addition This production data is a measure for the demand of battery cells 7

in the individual EU28 countries 8

Germany France and the Netherlands lead the field of BEV producers in Europe On 9

European level an average yearly growth rate of over 40 can be observed It is expected 10

that the number of 150000 produced BEVs in 2018 will double in 2020 11

12

Figure 8 Production numbers for BEVs produced in EU28 countries and forecast until 2020 13

[3] 14

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

13

In contrast to the production data the sales numbers for BEV reflect the amount of installed 1

vehicle batteries in the individual EU28 countries It can be seen in Figure 9 that the proportion 2

among the EU28 countries in terms of sold vehicles is much more even as compared to the 3

production Germany France the United Kingdom and the Netherlands lead the market 4

however significant sales numbers can also be found in other countries The level and growth 5

rates of BEV sales is comparable to BEV production It should however be noted that there is 6

significant trade with other regions of the world eg BEV imports from KR (Hyundai) and JP 7

(Mitsubishi Nissan) and exports to North America (BMW Volkswagen) Hence the BEV 8

market can not be considered to be an internal market 9

10

Figure 9 Number of sold BEVs in EU28 member states and forecast until 2020 [3] 11

2222 Production and sales of PHEV 12

Similar to section 2221 production and sales numbers for PHEV resolved by country are 13

shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11 Although on a comparable level in terms of produced and 14

sold vehicles it must be emphasized that the contribution of PHEVs to the demand for battery 15

capacity is due to the smaller size of the battery much less than the demand generated by 16

BEVs At present the main production sites for PHEVs are located in Germany Due to 17

production sites for Audi (VW) and Volvo PHEVs Sweden and Slovakia also significantly 18

contribute to the production 19

In terms of sales the largest demand for PHEVs is generated in the UK Germany and 4

Sweden Interestingly the share of sold PHEVs also produced in the EU is higher as 5

compared to BEVs 6

The data presented in sections 2221 and 2222 was used as an input for a forecast model 10

on passenger PHEV and BEV as well as light and heavy commercial xEVs (see also [8] and 11

section 26) 12

It was assumed that extrapolated EU wide sales numbers and growth rates for passenger as 13

well as light vehicles [9] represent natural boundaries for the growth of xEV markets Logistic 14

growth functions (see setion 26) were used to model market diffusion Passenger BEV were 15

assumed to replace 75 of all passenger car sales in the long term Passenger PHEV were 16

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

15

assumed to be an initially faster growing transition technology which will partially be replaced 1

by BEV in the long term A passenger xEV lifetime of 12 years with battery replacement rates 2

of 15 per lifetime were assumed For commercial vehicles a lifetime of 9 years and 3

replacement rate of 25 and a lifetime of 12 years and battery replacement rate of 80 were 4

assumed for light and heavy vehicles respectively The assumption for the market model is 5

summarized in Table 3 and Table 4 and shall be subject to discussion during the stakeholder 6

meeting 7

223 Market stock and forecast for ESS in Europe 3

As discussed in Task 1 several stationary applications for batteries exist ranging from grid 4

support to home storage As will be shown in section 23 the demand for battery capacity 5

generated by ESS applications at present is rather small as compared to 3C and motive 6

markets There is no systematic registration of large scale or small scale stationary storage 7

systems in the EU Hence the market stock and volume for respective applications can only 8

be estimated based on indirect data 9

2231 Photovoltaic installations in the EU 10

Energy storage systems in combination with photovoltaic installations are one major 11

application for batteries both for private as well as commercial purposes Due to changes in 12

reimbursement and subsidy policy as well as the physical capability of the energy system to 13

buffer and process high shares of renewable energy the use of local energy storage systems 14

is becoming more and more popular There is no data on the share of PV installations 15

equipped with an energy storage system for the EU However on regional level some data is 16

20

available According to [10] approximately half of the PV systems with a peak power below 1

30 kW installed in Germany in 2017 have been equipped with an energy storage option 2

(amounting to about 30000 storage systems with a cumulative capacity of 400 MWh) 3

At present the installation of storage systems is strongly coupled to new installations of PV 4

systems As shown in Figure 16 with data on Germany the retrofit of existing PV installations 5

with storage systems is however expected to contribute significantly to the demand for battery 6

capacity in the PV segment in the future Within the forecast shown 50 of the sold storage 7

systems might be integrated into already existing PV-systems in 2030 8

Figure 16 PV installations and retrofit of existing PV installations in Germany Data and image 10

taken from [11] 11

Figure 17 shows the yearly installed PV power (MW) in the EU28 [12] A boom of PV 12

installations can clearly be observed for the years 2010 to 2012 mainly driven by installations 13

in Germany and Italy Likely as a result of changing subsidy policies the yearly installed PV 14

power has since then steadily decreased in both countries On the other hand a steady 15

increase in installations can be observed for the Netherlands and the UK In the forecast model 16

applied in [12] a slight increase in new installations is expected until 2021 driven by 17

installations in the UK and Portugal as well as member countries which so far do not have 18

any considerable PV installations Due to decreasing costs for solar panels and rather stable 19

remuneration rates this upward trend seems to be justified 20

Figure 17 PV installations in EU28 countries and forecast until 2020 Data taken from [12] 2

Based on the data given in [10] for Germany 80 of the installed PV systems can be attributed 3

to small or medium sized installations (average of 10 kWp) directly feeding into the low-voltage 4

grid In terms of power these systems amount to about 30 of the installations If equipped 5

with an energy storage system the average battery capacity amounts to 8 to 10 kWh [13] 6

Concerning installations in Europe it can be argued that there is a trend towards smaller roof-7

top systems for more densely populated and less sunny regions while in particular in the 8

southern European countries larger solar parks are favored Since no comprehensive data 9

covering the whole EU is available only a rough estimation for the demand of battery storage 10

systems and capacity can be made 11

Assuming that the number of smaller roof-top installations (30 of power) as well as the 12

number of systems equipped with an ESS (50 of installations lt 30 kWp) is above average 13

for Germany as compared to the rest of the EU the market data and forecasts given in [12] 14

and [11] would lead to a demand for battery capacity as summarized in Table 5 15

2232 Wind Turbine installations in the EU 5

Similar to section 2231 for PV installations Figure 18 shows data and forecasts for wind 6

turbine power installations in the EU28 [12] In contrast to PV installations wind turbine power 7

is almost exclusively attributed to larger scale wind parks We conclude that the use of small 8

scale ESS for the optimization of private energy consumption is therefore not driven by wind 9

power installations 10

Still the ongoing installation of wind turbine power in the EU28 might become a driver for large 11

scale decentralized energy storage systems however there is no market data available which 12

would allow for a battery demand forecast 13

Note that most of these installations are prototype or test facilities which does not allow to 8

use this application share as template for future market developments The total installed 9

capacity of 340 MWh in 2017 suggests that the market volume of large scale ESS is of the 10

same order of magnitude as that of home storage Note that the installed capacity for 2017 in 11

[14] is only 65 MWh It is however not stated in [12] whether the listed ESS projects are still in 12

2234 Forecast ESS sales and stock EU28 2

The data presented in sections 2231 2232 and 2233 was used as an input for a forecast 3

model on large scale and home ESS 4

EU wide sales numbers and growth rates for PV coupled home storage systems were 5

extrapolated with declining growth rates for 2035 and beyond With respect to large scale ESS 6

it was assumed that the generation of electricity by renewable sources exceeding 17 (2015 7

value [15]) of the total electricity generation necessitates a certain amount of ESS buffer 8

capacity EU 2020 and 2030 targets [16 17] for the share of renewable electricity generation 9

were used as a forecast model The buffer capacity demand was estimated to be 70 of the 10

daily electrical energy generated by renewables exceeding the share of 17 11

A lifetime of 20 years with a replacement rate of 10 was assumed for home ESS and a 12

lifetime of 20 years with a battery replacement rate of 80 within this lifetime was assumed 13

for large scale ESS System capacities were modelled by a power law based on present-day 14

values The assumptions for the market model are summarized in Table 7 and Table 8 and 15

shall be subject to discussion during the stakeholder meeting 16

224 Summary of the market sales forecast and estimation of the future 1

and past stock 2

As shown in sections 222 and 223 several drivers exist for the application of battery storage 3

systems in stationary and motive applications While the demand for battery capacity 4

generated by BEV and PHEV passenger cars was on the level of several GWh for 2017 the 5

ESS markets might still be below the 1 GWh mark in the EU 6

With respect to the increase of average battery capacity installed in different applications (see 7

Figure 22) and the growth rates for the sales of xEV and ESS (see sections 2223 and 8

2232) forecasts for the total new installations (including replacements) of batteries in the 9

EU28 are shown in Figure 23 See annex for further comments 10

11

Figure 22 Average system battery energy (kWh or MWh) forecast 12

23 Market trends 3

231 General objective of subtask 23 and approach 4

The following chapter provides a comprehensive market overview on global battery sales 5

demand and players Starting with the market development of Lithium-ion batteries between 6

2010 to 2017 scenarios until 2025 to 2030 are presented including a meta-analysis of several 7

most recent market reports (eg [18ndash27]) Step by step the regional markets and markets by 8

applications will be specified 9

232 Market drivers and CO2 legislation [28] 10

Climate and energy policies are main drivers for the energy future and are expected to lead to 11

an increasing demand for energy storage in the mid and long term (see Figure 24) According 12

to the European Unionacutes decarbonization objective a reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) 13

emissions to 80 ndash 95 below 1990 levels should be achieved by 2050 14

In particular for the transport sector no full decarbonization is achieved [29] even in the longer 15

term (other sectors have to compensate with higher GHG reductions) The overall reduction 16

achieved in the transport sector by 2050 is only around 60 below 1990 levels The 17

increasing trend in emissions seen over the past 20 years is expected to reverse by the CO2 18

legislation From 2020 on the fleet average to be achieved by all new cars is 95 grams of CO2 19

per kilometer (compared to 130 gkm in 2015) 20

Many other governments world-wide have specified CO2 emission targets and are striving 21

towards a low carbon economy Particularly in the field of passenger and commercial vehicles 22

fuel consumption and emission targets have been installed which significantly drive the 23

introduction of battery or fuel cell powered electric vehicles Among these emission policies 24

the targets set by the EU are among the most ambitious (see Table 11) Meeting them will 25

require a significant share of electric vehicles 26

Table 11 Overview about fuel consumption and CO2-emission targets for passenger vehicles 1

of the EU and other countries leading battery and electric mobility markets [30] 2

In this context electric mobility is gaining importance since electric vehicles especially plug-3

in hybrid and pure battery electric vehicles can help to achieve or fulfill these limits due to 4

improved CO2 footprints compared to conventional cars However for low CO2 footprints over 5

the lifetime of electric cars a high share of ldquolow carbonrdquo renewable energy sources (RES) in 6

the energy mix is needed and important (Figure 24 left side) 7

8

Figure 24 Climate and energy policies as drivers for future energy storage demand [28] 9

The EU Energy Roadmap 2050 [31 32] has shown across six scenarios that the 10

decarbonization goal can be achieved if the share of renewable energy sources (RES) among 11

the power generation capacity is high (gt 60 until 2050) for all scenarios Especially for the 12

high RES scenario the share of fluctuating energy generation (wind photovoltaic ndash PV) is the 13

strongest which has to be balanced Grid expansion andor flexibilization measures (eg 14

demand side management power to gas and vehicle to grid besides stationary battery 15

storage) are potential solutions Thus the high RES scenario is the most interesting scenario 16

with respect to a potential future demand for energy storage solutions (ESS) on local 17

distribution and transmission grid levels (Figure 24 right side) In order to have a significant 18

GHG reduction with EVs it will also be important to achieve the RES targets 19

233 The developing battery market 1

The total annual battery market is currently on the level of 45-60 billion Euro representing 2

approximately 400-500 GWh (including Lead-acid Lithium-Ion and other batteries) [33] 3

Lithium-ion batteries (LIB) have succeeded because of their high gravimetric and volumetric 4

energy densities and have a market share of about a third in terms of value among the whole 5

battery market The growth is driven by the decreasing cell costs of less than 170 eurokWh for a 6

standard cylindrical cell (lowest prices) approaching the 90 eurokWh mark in the next years This 7

cost degression is due to increasing capacity demand and production and thus due to scale 8

effects 9

Although the LIB market is drastically growing with annual growth rates of up to 30 percent 10

on average (in terms of battery capacity demand) the dominating battery technology in terms 11

of capacity however are still lead-acid batteries representing about 90 percent of the global 12

demand in volume around 2010 and 80 percent in 2017 13

14

15

Figure 25 Historical development of the global battery demand in GWh (left axis for NiCd 16

NiMH right axis for all other battery types grey total battery demand) [34] 17

Other mature battery technologies like NiCd (still partly used in power tools) and NiMH (still 18

used in hybrid electric vehicles HEV) are slowly declining and are expected to disappear from 19

the market in the next decade The diversification of future battery applications however will 20

also broaden the range of battery technologies Emerging technologies like Na-based Metal-21

Sulfur or Redox Flow batteries are developing and may lead to attractive solutions eg with 22

respect to cost and resource availability advantages However due to very strict requirements 23

on volumetric energy densities these technologies are expected to be relevant for stationary 24

or other special markets and less for the most significant electric vehicle market In general 25

each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses and none of them can satisfy all user 26

demands Hence a broader application-specific technology portfolio is urgently needed in 27

order to provide alternative technology solutions in the future 28

The extremely dynamic development of the global LIB demand will lead to the TWh level latest 29

around 2030 and grow further after 2030 Thus LIB will very soon transform into the 30

dominating energy storage technology 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

34

Figure 26 shows three different scenarios for the global demand for LIB between 2010 and 1

2030 (green curves) along with global production capacities (orange and blue curve)[33] 2

While at the beginning of the decade the demand and sales numbers followed the medium 3

growth rate trend scenario the market has been approaching the high growth rate scenario in 4

the last years This is mainly due to the strong engagement of politics and respective 5

regulation and subsidy programs for electric mobility As can be seen from the graph the 6

share of demand generated by motive applications is expected to significantly grow in the next 7

years and might account for more than one third of the total LIB demand by 2025 8

To face this increasing demand for LIB cells accordingly production capacities need to be 9

build up in the near future Based on the currently existing cell production capacities and the 10

global announcements from established and new cell producers until 2025 the LIB cell 11

production capacities (blue line in 12

Figure 26) have been identified Compared to 15 GWh added production capacity between 13

2013 and 2016 in the next years around 50 GWh will be added annually leading to around 14

700 GWh production capacities until 2025 (in the optimistic case see blue line in 15

Figure 26) The announcements include established players such as Panasonic (JP) LG 16

Chem (KR) Samsung (KR) SKI (KR) BYD (CN) Lishen (CN) CATL (CN) CALB (CN) 17

OPTIMUM (CN) and several further Chinese cell producers Also new players such as TerraE 18

(DE) Northvolt (SW) Boston Energy (US AU) Energy Absolute (Thailand) are included 19

while accounting for the different stages of expansion [20 27] 20

21

234 Battery markets by application 23

Diversification of applications for batteries 24

The above described global developments of battery demand and production strongly concern 25

high-energy lithium-ion batteries with the cell chemistries NMC NCA (Ni-rich and Co-reduced 26

cathodes) and SiC (high capacity SiC anodes with 5-10 or higher Si content) and cell 27

formats cylindrical (eg larger 21700 compared to standard 18650) large pouch or prismatic 28

cells The target is to develop and produce cells with improved gravimetric and volumetric 29

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

35

energy densities and reduced costs in order to meet the requirements of the automotive 1

industry Electric passenger cars are driving the demand and thus development of the battery 2

technology and these optimized and cost reduced batteries define the benchmark today and 3

in the future 4

LIB demand by applications 5

In Figure 27 the global LIB demand is broken down to the three main sectors for battery 6

demand which can be characterised each having different profiles of requirement 7

bull electric mobility or electric vehicles (EV including eg passenger cars light 8

commercial vehicles buses trucks scooters ebikes etc) 9

bull stationary energy storage systems (ESS) and 10

bull portable devices (3C ndash Computer Communication Consumer) 11

The LIB cell demand developed to almost 25 GWh in 2010 since the market introduction in 12

the early 1990s and dominantly resulted from portable devices In 2015 the cell demand of 13

about 70 GWh was distributed already almost 5050 between 3C and EV applications 14

15

Figure 27 Global LIB demand (in GWh and share in ) by segment [34] 16

Since 2015 the global LIB demand has increased with compound annual growth rates 17

(CAGR) of ~25 from about 70 GWh to about 110 GWh in 2017 The market for electric 18

vehicles currently grows with 30-40 (and more depending on the application and region) and 19

a diversification in applications (eg buses trucks other light to heavy commercial vehicles 20

marine applications drones etc) can be observed 21

With the diversification of future markets and applications cost sensitive markets will arise for 22

which optimized high-energy and cost reduced automotive cells of certain cell formats will be 23

used However also applications with stronger requirements on long lifetime high cycleability 24

fast charging capability safety etc will emerge and diffuse where cost is not the most 25

relevant factor and other battery technologies (ie cell chemistries formats) can provide a 26

unique selling proposition and hence lead to a product differentiation 27

2341 LIB markets for 3C applications 28

Portable devices (3C) have been the main applications for LIB cells in the past Power tools 29

medical devices and wearables are expected to be products with an emerging future market 30

for small LIB cells but with enormous quantities The price per kWh that can be stored plays a 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

36

less important role for these applications As far as charging is concerned technologies such 1

as energy harvesting and wireless charging are expected to be introduced in the future For 2

many markets and products such as household devices garden cleaning power tools other 3

mobile leisure applications etc today mostly cylindrical LIB cells of the format 18650 are used 4

With the introduction of 21700 cells also larger cylindrical cells become available now and are 5

expected to be used in diffuse in such applications Although different specific cell chemistries 6

might be suitable depending on the concrete application again it can be stated that the 3C 7

segment is expected to lead to a comparably small battery capacity demand compared to the 8

EV segment and will not be the limiting segment with respect to the risk of resource 9

dependencies 10

In the next few years growth rates of about 5 to 10 percent are expected for the 3C markets 11

while laptop battery demand is developing at lower growth rates and power tools medical 12

devices etc are supporting the growth rates for the battery demand 13

14

15

Figure 28 Demand and growth of the 3C LIB market [34] 16

2342 LIB markets for stationary (ESS) applications 17

Stationary energy storage systems (ESS) can be divided into different size classes with regard 18

to the capacity and charging times Both together decide on the application area (eg small 19

PV storage at home peak load to long-term storage) [35] Beyond that the price per kWh put 20

through over the lifetime is the economic key factor (as synthesized by the LCOE levelized 21

cost of energy) In contrast gravimetric and volumetric energy density plays a subordinate 22

role Due to that lead-acid batteries were often used as storage technology for off- and on-23

grid storage Currently LIBs are being established for commercial use and meanwhile reach 24

an annual demand of some few GWh Other electrochemical storage technologies such as 25

sodium-sulfur batteries are still used but the demand for LIB is strongly increasing for ESS It 26

is expected that 2nd life concepts for batteries that had their first life in electric vehicles will 27

gain importance together with market diffusion in the EV segment as the requirements on the 28

batteries are less demanding in the ESS segment This however will require the development 29

of according business models standardization etc The much broader available technology 30

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

37

portfolio for ESS applications the use of 2nd life batteries and the fact that electric vehicle 1

batteries that are connected to the grid on a large scale with higher market diffusion can be 2

regarded as stationary storage systems as well (vehicle to grid V2G grid to vehicle G2V) help 3

to reduce the risk of technological and resource dependencies in the future 4

The market for stationary storage applications (ESS) is experiencing growth rates of 20 to 30 5

percent depending on individual market forecasts (in the last years CAGR have even been on 6

the level of 60 but decrease with increasing size of the market see Figure 29) 7

The market is currently on a level of few GWh including applications from smaller PV storage 8

systems of 5-10 kWh to larger industrial and grid connected installations for own power 9

consumption peak shaving etc on the MWh level Regarding these growth rates LIB for ESS 10

applications rapidly gain importance as de-central storage solutions compared to the currently 11

dominating central pumped hydro storage (PHS) Forecasts to 2025 differ by size and expect 12

an ESS LIB demand between 20-50 GWh (partially higher eg in [23]) but all forecasts identify 13

high growth rates 14

2343 LIB markets for electric vehicle applications 18

One of the biggest challenges for batteries for electric vehicles (EV including electric cars 19

buses trucks etc) apart from their price is the increase of their volumetric and gravimetric 20

energy density The volumetric energy density is even more important for OEM due to 21

restricted and fixed space and location of the battery in an electric vehicle A very relevant 22

parameter of a battery is its charging and discharging power in particular in continuous 23

operation It determines the fast-charging capability which is an important argument in the 24

use and the establishment on the market At the same time this sets limits to the high-25

performance operation since energy consumption is reduced to protect the battery from 26

damage This illustrates the conflicting effect of different parameters on the battery lifetime 27

Price volume weight and thus charge density as well as chargedischarge rate in terms of 28

usage and durability are the most urgent challenges for battery manufacturers 29

38

The market for EV batteries is currently at the level of about 50 GWh (including electric 1

passenger cars busses trucks ebikes scooter forklifts etc) Growth rates are at 20 to 40 2

percent and the demand for EV batteries will lead to a share of about 66 percent in 2020 76 3

percent until 2025 and 80 percent or higher in the long term Electric passenger cars (BEV 4

and PHEV) define the by far largest market within the EV segment and are clearly driving the 5

technology development of high energy Lithium-Ion or Lithium-based batteries in the future 6

Other motive (or stationary or portable) markets applications besides the highly competitive 10

electric passenger cars therefore can offer interesting growth markets also for smaller cell 11

producers beyond the large Japanese Korean and Chinese cell producers These markets or 12

applications very often define concrete requirements for the battery performance they require 13

an in depth understanding and design from the cell chemistry format to the modulepack and 14

system integration and they still vary strongly by region and are connected to individual system 15

integrators or OEM This is because each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses 16

and none of them can satisfy all userapplication demands Hence a broader application 17

specific technology portfolio is even urgently needed in order to provide alternative individual 18

technology solutions for these emerging marketsapplications 19

235 Market channels and production structure 21

2351 Global production capacities and major players 22

Since their commercialization in the 1990s LIB have been predominantly produced by 23

Japanese and Korean companies Driven by the Chinese government particularly cell 24

producers but also companies covering other steps of the LIB value creation chain have been 25

established in China Due to a policy of simultaneous support for LIB production as well as for 26

application markets and due to an extensive subsidy scheme a large share of LIB production 27

capacities is located in China today 28

Figure 31 Figure 32 Figure 33 and Figure 34 show the global LIB production capacities of 29

major cell producers in 2018 as well as forecasts for 2020 2025 and 2030 respectively [36] 30

The data is based on announcements made by the cell producers As discussed in section 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

39

233 the actual time-frame for the implementation of the capacity expansions is often delayed 1

with respect to the original announcements Hence minimum and maximum values for the 2

production capacities are given 3

Figure 34 Global LIB production capacities of major cell producers in 2030 [36] 2

Until 2030 the announced production capacities add up to more than 1 TWh In total there 3

are about 30 cell producers which have announced to build up production capacities of more 4

than 10 GWhyear which can be considered to be a threshold in order to be able to produce 5

at competitve costs [36] If the announced capacities are fully utilized the ldquobig 4rdquo (Panasonic 6

CATL LGC and BYD) will be able to fully cover the market demand (gt550 GWh) until 2025 7

2352 Europes position in the global battery value chain 8

In the EU several actors are positioned which cover production steps along the whole value 9

chain of LIBs starting from raw material production to production of cells and systems and 10

finally recycling However with respect to global markets only few organizations within the EU 11

have a market share of more than 1 in their specific segment eg BASF Germany in the 12

field of electrolyte production [30] 13

An overview about existing and active companies is given by the European Battery Alliance 14

(see Figure 35) Due to the presence of strong automotive OEM LIB pack manufacturing and 15

system integration is taking place on large scale in Europe A particular gap in the value chain 16

is present due to the lack of a large-scale cell production capable of serving the volumes and 17

prices required by the automotive industry 18

Several consortia are currently attempting to build up a European large scale cell 4

manufacturing such as Nothvolt (Sweden) with 32 GWh until 2023 or Saft (together with 5

Siemens and Manz) [39] Recently the German government announced plans for funding of 6

a Batterie-Cell-Alliance between Germany and Poland with cell production capacities in the 7

Regions Lausitz (Germany) and Westpoland [40 41] At the cross section between RampD and 8

large-scale production also a Research Production with 600 Mio EUR funding is foreseen 9

whereas the Fraunhofer Society should coordinate and run such a research production [42] 10

The announced funding from the German government sums up to 2 bn EUR 11

Given all these announced investments and production capacities to build up in the next years 12

the cell production capacities of European cell manufacturers could sum up to over 40 GWh 13

beyond 2025 In contrast main Asian cell manufacturer have already started with cell 14

production (eg LG SDI) or plan to build up production capacities until 2020 to 2025 In 15

concrete there are plans from [43ndash51] 16

17

bull CATL (China) to build 14 GWh in Germany Erfurt beyond 2020 18

bull LG Chem (Japan) to build 15 to 24 GWh (for 03 Mio EVs) in Poland beyond 2020 19

bull Samsung SDI (Japan) to build 10 to 15 GWh beyond 2020 in Hungary (including a 20

recent 5 GWh announcement for 21700 cells for Land Rover 21

bull SK Innovation (Japan) to build 75 GWh in Hungary beyond 2020 22

bull PanasonicTesla to build a (assumed 35GWh) Gigafactory in Europa around 2025 23

bull as well as from BYD (China) GS Yuasa (Japan) and Farasis (US) to build production 24

capacities between 2020 and 2025 25

26

The production capacities from Asian (or non-European) cell manufacturer might sum up to 27

well above 82-96 GWh by 2025 and including BYD GS Yuasa Farasis etc capacities far 28

above 100 GWh can be expected Together with the new EU cell producers this could easily 29

sum up towards the above mentioned 200 GWh demand in Europe But it also clearly indicates 30

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

44

the competition the emerging European players have to face (besides the fact that the plans 1

of the Asian companies are expected to be realized already several years earlier as those of 2

the novel EU companies) 3

2353 Product design trends and technological roadmap 4

Concerning the battery technology or type (by chemistry format etc) which will most likely 5

be produced to address this increasing demand the global roadmaps of cell producers are 6

basically similar Based on state-of-the art cell design (eg LFP NCA based ldquogeneration 1rdquo 7

and NMC111 to NMC532 ldquogeneration 2abrdquo Li-ion batteries) [52] and state-of-the-art 8

production equipment incremental improvements are expected in the next few years but with 9

the target to get to higher-energy lithium-ion batteries Concerning the electrolytes still liquid 10

electrolytes will be used but adopted to the changing electrode materials (eg with additives) 11

Current trends for layered oxide cathodes describe the development of Ni-rich (Co reduced) 12

materials (NMC) A few cell producers are already using NMC811 or comparable cathode 13

materials others are still adopting NMC622 (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3ardquo) On cathode 14

side maybe even lower-cost Mn-rich High Energy NMCs (HE-NMC) might be realized and 15

produced within ~10 years as Mn is cheaper than Ni (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3brdquo) On 16

anode side the trend is to incorporate Si-nano particles to make use of the alloying reaction 17

between Si and Li yielding a high capacitance This however comes at the cost of cycle life 18

Further down the road we might see higher Si contents (~20) 19

20

All-solid-state batteries are on the roadmap of many battery producers but also OEM (also 21

referred to as ldquogeneration 4rdquo) The key performance parameters (KPI) are suitable for electric 22

mobility (EV) Main challenges are indeed manufacturability particularly for ceramic solid state 23

electrolytes which promise to yield the highest advantages over state of the art technologies 24

The market introduction in niche applications is expected possible prior to the use in 25

automotive applications First all-solid-state batteries might not be competitive in terms of 26

energy density but safety properties Later on energy densities of 350-400 Whkg and higher 27

are expected 28

Other technologies (not marked in blue in the above figure) feature certain USPs compared to 4

Li-ion batteries but (according to the current level of knowledge) do not reach the necessary 5

KPIs in terms of energy density power density and cycling stability necessary for electric 6

mobility (these are marked in grey) USPs of these technologies can be cost resource 7

availability either volumetric or gravimetric energy density or others But often even 8

fundamental challenges are not solved yet (eg concerning the stability of materials and 9

electrochemical systems kinetics etc) 10

24 Consumer expenditure base data 2

241 General objective of subtask 24 and approach 3

Subtask 24 gives an overview about average production costs and consumer prices incl 4

VAT (for consumer prices streetprice) excl VAT (for B2B products) as well as an estimation 5

of repair and maintenance as well as installation and disposal costs 6

Due to their recent larger scale market introduction there is still little experience with 7

maintenance as well as disposal expenses Hence only estimations can be made based on 8

isolated sources 9

242 Development of LIB cell costs 10

As the core of LIB based energy storage systems the battery cell exhibits the highest cost 11

share During the last years particularly standardized 18650 format LIB cells have 12

experienced a steep cost learning curve benefiting from production scale effects but also 13

from technological advancements on material level increasing the energy density per volume 14

and weight and decreasing the amount of cost intense Cobalt-based components Compared 15

to this benchmark larger format LIB cells (Pouch prismatic) as are utilized in xEVs and ESS 16

predominantly feature lower energy densities at higher cost per kWh There are however no 17

principal limitations which would prevent a performance and cost development similar to what 18

was observed for cylindrical cells Figure 39 shows the cost learning curves for cylindrical as 19

well as larger format LIB cells [33] Today average costs for cells suitable for automotive use 20

are below 150 eurokWh (cylindrical) and around 200 eurokWh (Pouchprismatic) In specific cases 21

prices around 100 eurokWh have been reported already [53] It should however be noted that 22

with the current market situation LIB prices being below costs are not unlikely to occur 23

Until 2025 production costs of the different cell formats are expected to approach and fall 24

below the mark of 100 eurokWh between 2020 and 2025 Taking further developments on 25

material level into account costs around 60-100 eurokWh seam feasible past 2025 26

Figure 39 Cost learning curves for large LIB cells (cylindrical and Pouchprismatic) [33] 3

Similar cost learning curves have been observed for other battery technologies (see Figure 4

40) In principal cost degression can be limited by demand (compare NiCd) or by reaching 5

material cost limits (compare Pb) Also the diffusion of battery technologies in new markets 6

or applications can lead to further technological improvements and justify higher production 7

costs (compare deviation of NiMH Pb) Following the available data for LIB cells approx 100 8

$kWh (~89 eurokWh) are reached at a cumulative yearly production of 1TWh This mark is 9

expected to be reached between 2020 and 2030 10

Beyond 2030 LIB production costs are however expected to start deviating from this curve 11

due to limiting raw material prices 12

2432 ESS 7

According to recent end-customer price data provided in [55] for 2018 typical consumer prices 8

for small scale (~10 kWh) stationary home storage systems are between 5000 and 15000 9

Euros leading to a relative price of 800 to 1200 eurokWh It is expected that these system prices 10

will benefit from the growing battery markets (also xEV) since similar LIB cell types can be 11

applied in both application areas With respect to inverters and other system related costs the 12

smaller market volume of home ESS indicates lower economy of scale effects as compared 13

to cells 14

2441 xEV 16

So far no comprehensive information on repair and maintenance costs for the battery system 17

of xEVs are available Due to still rather accommodating service policies repair or 18

2451 Second life and recycling considerations 6

Until today only pilot projects Strategy of automotive OEM regarding second life applications 7

is not known 8

Value of recycled materials can be estimated 9

Three main scenarios possible after end of 1st life (xEV) 10

1 Disposal of batteries (eg separation of liquid and solid components hazardous waste 11

disposal) 12

2 Recycling of batteries and direct regeneration and re-use of cathode materials (2a) or 13

recovery of metals (2b) 14

3 2nd life in ESS applications under limited load (low DOD cycling low power) 15

16

Scenario 1 will add another component to battery costs scenario 2 and 3 could significantly 17

decrease the cost of batteries if energy efficient recycling methods can be developed or viable 18

2nd life business models are established 19

26 Annex 1

2611 Modelling of addressable markets for electric applications 2

Vehicle markets (in units of registrations in the EU28 per year) and ESS markets (in units of 3

number of installed home PV systems or in units of overall renewable (PV wind) electricity 4

generation in the EU28 per year) were modelled by exponential functions 5

119872119905119886119901119901(119905) = 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 6

With Mtapp(t) being the total market volume of an application M0 the market size in 2015 and 7

120591 times 119871119899(2) the time t necessary to double the initial market volume M0 M0 and Tau were chosen 8

to fit existing market data 9

119872119886119901119901(119905) = 119888 times 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 10

With Mapp(t) being the addressable market and c a factor equal or smaller than 1 Parameter 11

c lt 1 was chosen to take into account that not the whole existing market Mtapp might be 12

addressable by electric technologies Eg a share of vehicles primarily used for long distance 13

travel might not be addressable by BEV but by PHEV only 14

The market addressable for passenger PHEV (as a transition technology on the path to full 15

electric vehicles) was modelled as the difference of total vehicle sales and BEV sales 16

119872119875119867119864119881(119905) = 119888 times 119872119905119901119886119904119904119890119899119892119890119903(119905) minus 119878119861119864119881(119905) 17

The market addressable for passenger BEV was modelled like Mapp(t) with c lt 1 18

2612 Modelling of sales numbers of xEV and ESS 19

Yearly sales numbers Sapp(t) for the different applications were modelled by logistic growth 20

functions Logistic functions can model diffusion of technologies into existing markets with a 21

given market volume M The market volume can be a moving target M = M(t) The relative 22

change of sales numbers Srsquoapp(t)Sapp(t) is proportional to the market volume not yet 23

developed by a technology Mapp(t) ndash Sapp(t) 24

119878119886119901119901(119905) = 119872119886119901119901(119905) times1

1 + 119864119909119901(minus119872119886119901119901(119905) times (119905 minus 1199050)120591)(119872119886119901119901(119905)

119878119886119901119901(1199050)minus 1)

25

With Tau being a time constant and Sapp(t0) being the yearly sales number at year t0 (eg 26

2015) 27

Short time constants Tau of few years were used to model ESS sales Due to limitations of 28

the existing electricity grid to only buffer a certain share of fluctuating PV and wind generated 29

electricity the further expansion of renewable electricity generation might be strongly coupled 30

to ESS installations Hence ESS sales were modelled to closely follow the assumed 31

installations of renewable power in the limit of ldquovery fastrdquo market diffusion (120591 rarr 0) 32

2613 Modelling of battery system capacities 33

Battery capacities EBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws In 34

particular BEV battery capacities increased in the last years from 30 kWh in 2013 to more than 35

40 kWh in 2018 (EU sales and production averages) In the long term we expect BEV 36

capacities to converge towards a value sufficient to provide average driving ranges of some 37

100 km Battery capacity growth rates are hence supposed to slow down 38

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

119864119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198640 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 1

With E0 being the average battery capacity in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years and 2

b an exponent lt 1 The parameters were chosen to fit existing data 3

2614 Modelling of battery replacement rates 4

Battery replacement rates RrBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws 5

The replacement rate defines the share of batteries installed in year t that had to be replaced 6

within the lifetime of a system (xEV ESS) In particular for vehicles it is assumed that xEV 7

manufacturers currently install battery cells with a high lifetime and cyclability (several 8

thousand cycles) In the mid-term we expect that battery life and vehicle life (eg 200000 to 9

300000 km) will be matched by car manufacturers Assuming a constant vehicle lifetime 10

battery replacement rates are supposed to increase over time 11

119877119903119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198770 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 12

With R0 being the average replacement rate in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years 13

and b an exponent lt 1 At present there is no data available to fit the parameters Parameters 14

were estimated based on the usage profile and load of different applications 15

2615 Modelling of system lifetimes (xEV ESS) 16

System lifetimes Ltsystem(t) were assumed to be constant Ltsystem(t)= Ltsystem Parameters were 17

estimated based on manufacturer statements and typical lifetimes for combustion powered 18

vehicles 19

2616 Calculation of battery replacements 20

Battery replacements RpBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 21

calculated by assuming a uniform distribution of battery replacements over the lifetime 22

Ltsystem(i) of battery systems installed in year i 23

119877119901119861119886119905119905(119905) = sum119877119903119861119886119905119905(119894) times 119878119886119901119901(119894) times 119864119861119886119905119905(119894)

2617 Calculation of battery decommissions 25

Battery decommissions DcBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 26

assumed to happen coincident with the end of life of the systems (Ltsystem) they were installed 27

in in year i This neglects any second life usage in t gt i It was assumed that xEV or ESS 28

manufacturers will tune the battery lifetime to match the system lifetime (see 2614) 29

2618 Calculation of yearly installed battery capacity 31

The yearly installed battery capacity Sbapp(t) in the EU28 was calculated as 32

119878119887119886119901119901(119905) = 119878119886119901119901(119905) times 119864119886119901119901119861119886119905119905(119905) + 119877119901119886119901119901

2 Task 2 Markets 1

The objective of Task 2 is to present an economic and market analysis of batteries according 2

to the definition presented in 121 The aims are 3

bull to place batteries (according to the definition provided in 121) within the context of EU 4

industry and trade policy (subtask 21) 5

bull to provide market size and cost inputs for the EU-wide environmental impact assessment 6

of the product group (subtask 22) 7

bull to provide insight into the latest market trends to help assess the impact of potential 8

Ecodesign measures with regard to market structures and ongoing trends in product 9

design (subtask 23 also relevant for the impact analyses in Task 3) and finally 10

bull to provide a practical data set of prices and rates to be used for Life Cycle Cost (LCC) 11

calculations (subtask 24) 12

21 Generic economic data 13

In the MEErP generic economic data refers to data that is available in official EU statistics 14

(eg PRODCOM) and the aim is to identify and report the lsquoEU apparent consumptionrsquo which 15

is defined as lsquoEU production + EU import ndash EU exportrsquo Also the average value of each product 16

is verified The information required for this subtask should be derived from official EU 17

statistics so as to be coherent with official data used in EU industry and trade policy 18

211 Approach to subtask 2 19

PRODCOM data is publicly available and is a direct source of market information PRODCOM 20

data does not give any direct information about the total number of installed batteries in use 21

in the EU28 member countries The data might also not account for batteries imported to or 22

exported from the EU as sub-unit of other products (eg batteries in cell phones) 23

2111 Secondary batteries related PRODCOM categories 24

Several categories on batteries exist within the NACE2 classification (see Table 1) however 25

there is no category for LIB cells modules or packs LIB based secondary batteries are 26

included in the composite category 2702300 along with all other not Pb-based secondary 27

battery technologies 28

27201100 Primary cells and primary batteries

27201200 Parts of primary cells and primary batteries (excluding battery

carbons for rechargeable batteries)

27202100 Lead-acid accumulators for starting piston engines

27202200 Lead-acid accumulators excluding for starting piston engines

27202300 Nickel-cadmium nickel metal hydride lithium-ion lithium

polymer nickel-iron and other electric accumulators

27202400 Parts of electric accumulators including separators

Table 1 PRODCOM categories related to batteries [1] 1

2112 SystemBMS related PRODCOM categories 2

Within the NACE2 classification there are no explicit categories for LIB system components 3

like the battery management system however there are categories including components 4

which are likely to be applied in the power electronics or BMS of battery packs and systems 5

A selection is listed in Table 2 Automatic circuit breakers as a part of technology crucial for 6

battery management systems are aggregated under PRODCOM categories 27122250 and 7

2121 Electric accumulators including LIBs 18

Figure 1 shows the development of production import and export volumes in Euro for 19

PRODCOM category 27202300 in the time from 1995 to 2017 The data shows an increase 20

of market volume in all three categories Since several battery technologies are aggregated in 21

this PRODCOM category values specific for LIB cannot obtained from this data Due to the 22

development of the different battery technologies it is likely that the market values in the 1990s 23

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

7

and early 2000s can mainly be attributed to NiMH NiCd and other technologies The growth 1

experienced since 2010 in all three market categories is likely to be a result of the development 2

in the LIB market which can be considered to be the dominant submarket under the battery 3

technologies aggregated under 27202300 today (see and compare section 233 with a global 4

analysis of different battery technologies) 5

Figure 1 EU production import and export summarized in PRODCOM category 27202300 7

Nickel-cadmium nickel metal hydride lithium-ion lithium polymer nickel-iron and other 8

electric accumulators [2] 9

Note that no production volumes in terms of units or kWh are available from Eurostat 10

The value of batteries integrated into applications or sold as end products in Europe can be 11

assessed by considering the EU consumption value (EU sales and trade) which results from 12

the sum of production and import minus export values (see Figure 2) After a plateau like 13

market behavior between 2000 and 2010 a steep increase of the EU consumption value can 14

be observed The 2017 value adds up to about 4 billion Euro Assuming that the majority share 15

of this value can be attributed to LIB with a market price of 300 to 500 eurokWh (Mix of higher 16

priced consumer cells and lower priced automotive cells) the value corresponds to a capacity 17

of 8 to 13 GWh In consideration of its estimated character this number is in accordance with 18

the data presented in section 224 (based on a bottom up estimation of the capacity demand 19

by passenger xEV and home storage ESS markets 3C markets are not considered) 20

Figure 2 EU sales and trade (PROD+IMP-EXP) summarized in PRODCOM category 3

27202300 Nickel-cadmium nickel metal hydride lithium-ion lithium polymer nickel-iron and 4

other electric accumulators [2] 5

Hence it can be assumed that the data presented in the PRODCOM database meets the right 6

magnitude Due to the aggregation of battery technologies the consumption value of LIB alone 7

can however not be assessed by this data Furthermore the large price spread for LIB and 8

the dynamic development of prices does not allow to reliably conclude on the demand of 9

battery capacity (GWh) An assessment of market development and installed LIB stock in 10

Europe is given in section 22 and 23 based on other data sources 11

2122 Circuit breakers as an example for BMS electronics 12

LIB cells as gathered in category 27202300 are only one of the subunits of battery systems 13

Housing protection cooling electrical and electronic components are supposedly measured 14

in different PRODCOM categories 15

Figure 3 Figure 4 Figure 5 and Figure 6 show production import export and EU sales and 16

trade data for automatic circuit breakers as potential component of BMS EU consumption 17

values do not show a clear upward trend comparable to the values for battery technologies 18

Although an increase of export and import values can be observed no clear correlation with 19

the production of battery systems for xEV or stationary storage in Europe can be observed 20

We conclude that the analysis of individual storage system related PRODCOM categories 21

does not allow to assess the market development for complete battery systems 22

22 Market and stock data 8

221 General objective of subtask 22 and discussion of useful data 9

sources 10

The objective is to compile market and stock data in physical units for the EU for each of the 11

product categories defined in Task 11 and for the stock (1990-2015) combined with a forecast 12

2020-2050 Therefore the following parameters need to be identified 13

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

11

bull Market and installed stock assessment in units of number of systems (battery systems 1

for xEV battery systems for ESS) and corresponding battery capacity (MWh or GWh) 2

bull Replacement cycles and life time data This data is assumed to be strongly application 3

depending At present there is no comprehensive data available 4

2211 Useful data sources 5

Several market studies describing the present and future market situation for battery-based 6

applications exist Most of these studies have a global scope or focus on Asian countries due 7

to the structure of the battery market Comprehensive studies providing market data for the 8

EU and its member states are not known 9

To give an overview about stock and battery markets for the EU28 member states the 10

following bottom-up sources were utilized to give model estimations 11

bull Fraunhofer ISI in-house xEV database [3] The database has been developed in 2014 12

by Fraunhofer ISI and is updated since on an annual basis The last update was done 13

in November 2018 It covers global production and sales numbers for xEV models 14

broken down to countries as well as information on battery capacity and range of the 15

vehicles The database aggregates information provided by Marklines Co Ltd [4] the 16

European Alternative Fuels Observatory [5] the ev-sales blog [6] and other online 17

sources 18

bull Fraunhofer ISI in-house LIB database [7] The database covers information on the 19

major industrial players in the Li-ion business from materials to cell production The 20

development and location of production capacities is frequently updated Information 21

on performance and cost of commercially available battery cells as well as the meta 22

analysis of several studies providing forecasts on the respective developments are 23

also covered in the database Information is collected from several online sources and 24

available product data sheets 25

bull B3 corporation market studies B3 corporation provides topical market studies on xEV 26

ESS and material markets for Li-ion batteries The market data is updated on an 27

annual basis B3 studies have a global scope but occasionally also cover local 28

European markets 29

bull Additional market studies and databases as discussed in the following sections 30

222 Market stock and forecast for xEVs in Europe 31

As will be shown in section 23 the stock of installed medium or large-sized batteries in Europe 32

is strongly related to the diffusion of electric mobility In contrast to several Asian countries 33

xEV sales in Europe predominantly concern passenger cars Ebuses as well as light and 34

heavy commercial vehicles still do not play a major role in terms of installed capacity At 35

present the average energy content of a BEV passenger electric vehicle battery is higher than 36

40 kWh Small vehicles like the Renault Twizy feature a capacity of less than 10 kWh while 37

the models with highest capacity sold in EU28 countries approach the 100 kWh mark (Jaguar 38

iPace and Tesla Model X 90 kWh Tesla Model 3 73 kWh) The amount of battery capacity 39

installed in passenger PHEVs is about 10 kWh and has remained on a constant level over the 40

last years (see Figure 7) 41

2221 Production and sales of BEV 4

Figure 8 shows the number of produced BEVs [3] broken down to the production country from 5

2010 to 2018 A forecast until 2020 based on the average growth rates between 2016 and 6

2018 is shown in addition This production data is a measure for the demand of battery cells 7

in the individual EU28 countries 8

Germany France and the Netherlands lead the field of BEV producers in Europe On 9

European level an average yearly growth rate of over 40 can be observed It is expected 10

that the number of 150000 produced BEVs in 2018 will double in 2020 11

12

Figure 8 Production numbers for BEVs produced in EU28 countries and forecast until 2020 13

[3] 14

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

13

In contrast to the production data the sales numbers for BEV reflect the amount of installed 1

vehicle batteries in the individual EU28 countries It can be seen in Figure 9 that the proportion 2

among the EU28 countries in terms of sold vehicles is much more even as compared to the 3

production Germany France the United Kingdom and the Netherlands lead the market 4

however significant sales numbers can also be found in other countries The level and growth 5

rates of BEV sales is comparable to BEV production It should however be noted that there is 6

significant trade with other regions of the world eg BEV imports from KR (Hyundai) and JP 7

(Mitsubishi Nissan) and exports to North America (BMW Volkswagen) Hence the BEV 8

market can not be considered to be an internal market 9

10

Figure 9 Number of sold BEVs in EU28 member states and forecast until 2020 [3] 11

2222 Production and sales of PHEV 12

Similar to section 2221 production and sales numbers for PHEV resolved by country are 13

shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11 Although on a comparable level in terms of produced and 14

sold vehicles it must be emphasized that the contribution of PHEVs to the demand for battery 15

capacity is due to the smaller size of the battery much less than the demand generated by 16

BEVs At present the main production sites for PHEVs are located in Germany Due to 17

production sites for Audi (VW) and Volvo PHEVs Sweden and Slovakia also significantly 18

contribute to the production 19

In terms of sales the largest demand for PHEVs is generated in the UK Germany and 4

Sweden Interestingly the share of sold PHEVs also produced in the EU is higher as 5

compared to BEVs 6

2223 Forecast xEV sales and stock EU28 9

The data presented in sections 2221 and 2222 was used as an input for a forecast model 10

on passenger PHEV and BEV as well as light and heavy commercial xEVs (see also [8] and 11

section 26) 12

It was assumed that extrapolated EU wide sales numbers and growth rates for passenger as 13

well as light vehicles [9] represent natural boundaries for the growth of xEV markets Logistic 14

growth functions (see setion 26) were used to model market diffusion Passenger BEV were 15

assumed to replace 75 of all passenger car sales in the long term Passenger PHEV were 16

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

15

assumed to be an initially faster growing transition technology which will partially be replaced 1

by BEV in the long term A passenger xEV lifetime of 12 years with battery replacement rates 2

of 15 per lifetime were assumed For commercial vehicles a lifetime of 9 years and 3

replacement rate of 25 and a lifetime of 12 years and battery replacement rate of 80 were 4

assumed for light and heavy vehicles respectively The assumption for the market model is 5

summarized in Table 3 and Table 4 and shall be subject to discussion during the stakeholder 6

meeting 7

223 Market stock and forecast for ESS in Europe 3

As discussed in Task 1 several stationary applications for batteries exist ranging from grid 4

support to home storage As will be shown in section 23 the demand for battery capacity 5

generated by ESS applications at present is rather small as compared to 3C and motive 6

markets There is no systematic registration of large scale or small scale stationary storage 7

systems in the EU Hence the market stock and volume for respective applications can only 8

be estimated based on indirect data 9

2231 Photovoltaic installations in the EU 10

Energy storage systems in combination with photovoltaic installations are one major 11

application for batteries both for private as well as commercial purposes Due to changes in 12

reimbursement and subsidy policy as well as the physical capability of the energy system to 13

buffer and process high shares of renewable energy the use of local energy storage systems 14

is becoming more and more popular There is no data on the share of PV installations 15

equipped with an energy storage system for the EU However on regional level some data is 16

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

20

available According to [10] approximately half of the PV systems with a peak power below 1

30 kW installed in Germany in 2017 have been equipped with an energy storage option 2

(amounting to about 30000 storage systems with a cumulative capacity of 400 MWh) 3

At present the installation of storage systems is strongly coupled to new installations of PV 4

systems As shown in Figure 16 with data on Germany the retrofit of existing PV installations 5

with storage systems is however expected to contribute significantly to the demand for battery 6

capacity in the PV segment in the future Within the forecast shown 50 of the sold storage 7

systems might be integrated into already existing PV-systems in 2030 8

Figure 16 PV installations and retrofit of existing PV installations in Germany Data and image 10

taken from [11] 11

Figure 17 shows the yearly installed PV power (MW) in the EU28 [12] A boom of PV 12

installations can clearly be observed for the years 2010 to 2012 mainly driven by installations 13

in Germany and Italy Likely as a result of changing subsidy policies the yearly installed PV 14

power has since then steadily decreased in both countries On the other hand a steady 15

increase in installations can be observed for the Netherlands and the UK In the forecast model 16

applied in [12] a slight increase in new installations is expected until 2021 driven by 17

installations in the UK and Portugal as well as member countries which so far do not have 18

any considerable PV installations Due to decreasing costs for solar panels and rather stable 19

remuneration rates this upward trend seems to be justified 20

Figure 17 PV installations in EU28 countries and forecast until 2020 Data taken from [12] 2

Based on the data given in [10] for Germany 80 of the installed PV systems can be attributed 3

to small or medium sized installations (average of 10 kWp) directly feeding into the low-voltage 4

grid In terms of power these systems amount to about 30 of the installations If equipped 5

with an energy storage system the average battery capacity amounts to 8 to 10 kWh [13] 6

Concerning installations in Europe it can be argued that there is a trend towards smaller roof-7

top systems for more densely populated and less sunny regions while in particular in the 8

southern European countries larger solar parks are favored Since no comprehensive data 9

covering the whole EU is available only a rough estimation for the demand of battery storage 10

systems and capacity can be made 11

Assuming that the number of smaller roof-top installations (30 of power) as well as the 12

number of systems equipped with an ESS (50 of installations lt 30 kWp) is above average 13

for Germany as compared to the rest of the EU the market data and forecasts given in [12] 14

and [11] would lead to a demand for battery capacity as summarized in Table 5 15

2232 Wind Turbine installations in the EU 5

Similar to section 2231 for PV installations Figure 18 shows data and forecasts for wind 6

turbine power installations in the EU28 [12] In contrast to PV installations wind turbine power 7

is almost exclusively attributed to larger scale wind parks We conclude that the use of small 8

scale ESS for the optimization of private energy consumption is therefore not driven by wind 9

power installations 10

Still the ongoing installation of wind turbine power in the EU28 might become a driver for large 11

scale decentralized energy storage systems however there is no market data available which 12

would allow for a battery demand forecast 13

the 450 MWh installed until 2018 in total 340 MWh were installed in Germany and 80 MWh 8

energy 7

Note that most of these installations are prototype or test facilities which does not allow to 8

use this application share as template for future market developments The total installed 9

capacity of 340 MWh in 2017 suggests that the market volume of large scale ESS is of the 10

same order of magnitude as that of home storage Note that the installed capacity for 2017 in 11

[14] is only 65 MWh It is however not stated in [12] whether the listed ESS projects are still in 12

2234 Forecast ESS sales and stock EU28 2

The data presented in sections 2231 2232 and 2233 was used as an input for a forecast 3

model on large scale and home ESS 4

EU wide sales numbers and growth rates for PV coupled home storage systems were 5

extrapolated with declining growth rates for 2035 and beyond With respect to large scale ESS 6

it was assumed that the generation of electricity by renewable sources exceeding 17 (2015 7

value [15]) of the total electricity generation necessitates a certain amount of ESS buffer 8

capacity EU 2020 and 2030 targets [16 17] for the share of renewable electricity generation 9

were used as a forecast model The buffer capacity demand was estimated to be 70 of the 10

daily electrical energy generated by renewables exceeding the share of 17 11

A lifetime of 20 years with a replacement rate of 10 was assumed for home ESS and a 12

lifetime of 20 years with a battery replacement rate of 80 within this lifetime was assumed 13

for large scale ESS System capacities were modelled by a power law based on present-day 14

values The assumptions for the market model are summarized in Table 7 and Table 8 and 15

224 Summary of the market sales forecast and estimation of the future 1

and past stock 2

As shown in sections 222 and 223 several drivers exist for the application of battery storage 3

systems in stationary and motive applications While the demand for battery capacity 4

generated by BEV and PHEV passenger cars was on the level of several GWh for 2017 the 5

ESS markets might still be below the 1 GWh mark in the EU 6

With respect to the increase of average battery capacity installed in different applications (see 7

Figure 22) and the growth rates for the sales of xEV and ESS (see sections 2223 and 8

2232) forecasts for the total new installations (including replacements) of batteries in the 9

EU28 are shown in Figure 23 See annex for further comments 10

11

Figure 22 Average system battery energy (kWh or MWh) forecast 12

It can be expected that the demand generated by sales and replacements in the EU28 will 13

amount to about 20 GWh by 2020 100 GWh by 2025 and more than 400 GWh by 2030 14

23 Market trends 3

231 General objective of subtask 23 and approach 4

The following chapter provides a comprehensive market overview on global battery sales 5

demand and players Starting with the market development of Lithium-ion batteries between 6

2010 to 2017 scenarios until 2025 to 2030 are presented including a meta-analysis of several 7

most recent market reports (eg [18ndash27]) Step by step the regional markets and markets by 8

applications will be specified 9

232 Market drivers and CO2 legislation [28] 10

Climate and energy policies are main drivers for the energy future and are expected to lead to 11

an increasing demand for energy storage in the mid and long term (see Figure 24) According 12

to the European Unionacutes decarbonization objective a reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) 13

emissions to 80 ndash 95 below 1990 levels should be achieved by 2050 14

In particular for the transport sector no full decarbonization is achieved [29] even in the longer 15

term (other sectors have to compensate with higher GHG reductions) The overall reduction 16

achieved in the transport sector by 2050 is only around 60 below 1990 levels The 17

increasing trend in emissions seen over the past 20 years is expected to reverse by the CO2 18

legislation From 2020 on the fleet average to be achieved by all new cars is 95 grams of CO2 19

per kilometer (compared to 130 gkm in 2015) 20

Many other governments world-wide have specified CO2 emission targets and are striving 21

towards a low carbon economy Particularly in the field of passenger and commercial vehicles 22

fuel consumption and emission targets have been installed which significantly drive the 23

introduction of battery or fuel cell powered electric vehicles Among these emission policies 24

the targets set by the EU are among the most ambitious (see Table 11) Meeting them will 25

require a significant share of electric vehicles 26

Table 11 Overview about fuel consumption and CO2-emission targets for passenger vehicles 1

of the EU and other countries leading battery and electric mobility markets [30] 2

In this context electric mobility is gaining importance since electric vehicles especially plug-3

in hybrid and pure battery electric vehicles can help to achieve or fulfill these limits due to 4

improved CO2 footprints compared to conventional cars However for low CO2 footprints over 5

the lifetime of electric cars a high share of ldquolow carbonrdquo renewable energy sources (RES) in 6

the energy mix is needed and important (Figure 24 left side) 7

8

Figure 24 Climate and energy policies as drivers for future energy storage demand [28] 9

The EU Energy Roadmap 2050 [31 32] has shown across six scenarios that the 10

decarbonization goal can be achieved if the share of renewable energy sources (RES) among 11

the power generation capacity is high (gt 60 until 2050) for all scenarios Especially for the 12

high RES scenario the share of fluctuating energy generation (wind photovoltaic ndash PV) is the 13

strongest which has to be balanced Grid expansion andor flexibilization measures (eg 14

demand side management power to gas and vehicle to grid besides stationary battery 15

storage) are potential solutions Thus the high RES scenario is the most interesting scenario 16

with respect to a potential future demand for energy storage solutions (ESS) on local 17

distribution and transmission grid levels (Figure 24 right side) In order to have a significant 18

GHG reduction with EVs it will also be important to achieve the RES targets 19

233 The developing battery market 1

The total annual battery market is currently on the level of 45-60 billion Euro representing 2

approximately 400-500 GWh (including Lead-acid Lithium-Ion and other batteries) [33] 3

Lithium-ion batteries (LIB) have succeeded because of their high gravimetric and volumetric 4

energy densities and have a market share of about a third in terms of value among the whole 5

battery market The growth is driven by the decreasing cell costs of less than 170 eurokWh for a 6

standard cylindrical cell (lowest prices) approaching the 90 eurokWh mark in the next years This 7

cost degression is due to increasing capacity demand and production and thus due to scale 8

effects 9

Although the LIB market is drastically growing with annual growth rates of up to 30 percent 10

on average (in terms of battery capacity demand) the dominating battery technology in terms 11

of capacity however are still lead-acid batteries representing about 90 percent of the global 12

demand in volume around 2010 and 80 percent in 2017 13

14

15

Figure 25 Historical development of the global battery demand in GWh (left axis for NiCd 16

NiMH right axis for all other battery types grey total battery demand) [34] 17

Other mature battery technologies like NiCd (still partly used in power tools) and NiMH (still 18

used in hybrid electric vehicles HEV) are slowly declining and are expected to disappear from 19

the market in the next decade The diversification of future battery applications however will 20

also broaden the range of battery technologies Emerging technologies like Na-based Metal-21

Sulfur or Redox Flow batteries are developing and may lead to attractive solutions eg with 22

respect to cost and resource availability advantages However due to very strict requirements 23

on volumetric energy densities these technologies are expected to be relevant for stationary 24

or other special markets and less for the most significant electric vehicle market In general 25

each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses and none of them can satisfy all user 26

demands Hence a broader application-specific technology portfolio is urgently needed in 27

order to provide alternative technology solutions in the future 28

The extremely dynamic development of the global LIB demand will lead to the TWh level latest 29

around 2030 and grow further after 2030 Thus LIB will very soon transform into the 30

dominating energy storage technology 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

34

Figure 26 shows three different scenarios for the global demand for LIB between 2010 and 1

2030 (green curves) along with global production capacities (orange and blue curve)[33] 2

While at the beginning of the decade the demand and sales numbers followed the medium 3

growth rate trend scenario the market has been approaching the high growth rate scenario in 4

the last years This is mainly due to the strong engagement of politics and respective 5

regulation and subsidy programs for electric mobility As can be seen from the graph the 6

share of demand generated by motive applications is expected to significantly grow in the next 7

years and might account for more than one third of the total LIB demand by 2025 8

To face this increasing demand for LIB cells accordingly production capacities need to be 9

build up in the near future Based on the currently existing cell production capacities and the 10

global announcements from established and new cell producers until 2025 the LIB cell 11

production capacities (blue line in 12

Figure 26) have been identified Compared to 15 GWh added production capacity between 13

2013 and 2016 in the next years around 50 GWh will be added annually leading to around 14

700 GWh production capacities until 2025 (in the optimistic case see blue line in 15

Figure 26) The announcements include established players such as Panasonic (JP) LG 16

Chem (KR) Samsung (KR) SKI (KR) BYD (CN) Lishen (CN) CATL (CN) CALB (CN) 17

OPTIMUM (CN) and several further Chinese cell producers Also new players such as TerraE 18

(DE) Northvolt (SW) Boston Energy (US AU) Energy Absolute (Thailand) are included 19

while accounting for the different stages of expansion [20 27] 20

21

234 Battery markets by application 23

Diversification of applications for batteries 24

The above described global developments of battery demand and production strongly concern 25

high-energy lithium-ion batteries with the cell chemistries NMC NCA (Ni-rich and Co-reduced 26

cathodes) and SiC (high capacity SiC anodes with 5-10 or higher Si content) and cell 27

formats cylindrical (eg larger 21700 compared to standard 18650) large pouch or prismatic 28

cells The target is to develop and produce cells with improved gravimetric and volumetric 29

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

35

energy densities and reduced costs in order to meet the requirements of the automotive 1

industry Electric passenger cars are driving the demand and thus development of the battery 2

technology and these optimized and cost reduced batteries define the benchmark today and 3

in the future 4

LIB demand by applications 5

In Figure 27 the global LIB demand is broken down to the three main sectors for battery 6

demand which can be characterised each having different profiles of requirement 7

bull electric mobility or electric vehicles (EV including eg passenger cars light 8

commercial vehicles buses trucks scooters ebikes etc) 9

bull stationary energy storage systems (ESS) and 10

bull portable devices (3C ndash Computer Communication Consumer) 11

The LIB cell demand developed to almost 25 GWh in 2010 since the market introduction in 12

the early 1990s and dominantly resulted from portable devices In 2015 the cell demand of 13

about 70 GWh was distributed already almost 5050 between 3C and EV applications 14

15

Figure 27 Global LIB demand (in GWh and share in ) by segment [34] 16

Since 2015 the global LIB demand has increased with compound annual growth rates 17

(CAGR) of ~25 from about 70 GWh to about 110 GWh in 2017 The market for electric 18

vehicles currently grows with 30-40 (and more depending on the application and region) and 19

a diversification in applications (eg buses trucks other light to heavy commercial vehicles 20

marine applications drones etc) can be observed 21

With the diversification of future markets and applications cost sensitive markets will arise for 22

which optimized high-energy and cost reduced automotive cells of certain cell formats will be 23

used However also applications with stronger requirements on long lifetime high cycleability 24

fast charging capability safety etc will emerge and diffuse where cost is not the most 25

relevant factor and other battery technologies (ie cell chemistries formats) can provide a 26

unique selling proposition and hence lead to a product differentiation 27

2341 LIB markets for 3C applications 28

Portable devices (3C) have been the main applications for LIB cells in the past Power tools 29

medical devices and wearables are expected to be products with an emerging future market 30

for small LIB cells but with enormous quantities The price per kWh that can be stored plays a 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

36

less important role for these applications As far as charging is concerned technologies such 1

as energy harvesting and wireless charging are expected to be introduced in the future For 2

many markets and products such as household devices garden cleaning power tools other 3

mobile leisure applications etc today mostly cylindrical LIB cells of the format 18650 are used 4

With the introduction of 21700 cells also larger cylindrical cells become available now and are 5

expected to be used in diffuse in such applications Although different specific cell chemistries 6

might be suitable depending on the concrete application again it can be stated that the 3C 7

segment is expected to lead to a comparably small battery capacity demand compared to the 8

EV segment and will not be the limiting segment with respect to the risk of resource 9

dependencies 10

In the next few years growth rates of about 5 to 10 percent are expected for the 3C markets 11

while laptop battery demand is developing at lower growth rates and power tools medical 12

devices etc are supporting the growth rates for the battery demand 13

14

15

Figure 28 Demand and growth of the 3C LIB market [34] 16

2342 LIB markets for stationary (ESS) applications 17

Stationary energy storage systems (ESS) can be divided into different size classes with regard 18

to the capacity and charging times Both together decide on the application area (eg small 19

PV storage at home peak load to long-term storage) [35] Beyond that the price per kWh put 20

through over the lifetime is the economic key factor (as synthesized by the LCOE levelized 21

cost of energy) In contrast gravimetric and volumetric energy density plays a subordinate 22

role Due to that lead-acid batteries were often used as storage technology for off- and on-23

grid storage Currently LIBs are being established for commercial use and meanwhile reach 24

an annual demand of some few GWh Other electrochemical storage technologies such as 25

sodium-sulfur batteries are still used but the demand for LIB is strongly increasing for ESS It 26

is expected that 2nd life concepts for batteries that had their first life in electric vehicles will 27

gain importance together with market diffusion in the EV segment as the requirements on the 28

batteries are less demanding in the ESS segment This however will require the development 29

of according business models standardization etc The much broader available technology 30

portfolio for ESS applications the use of 2nd life batteries and the fact that electric vehicle 1

batteries that are connected to the grid on a large scale with higher market diffusion can be 2

regarded as stationary storage systems as well (vehicle to grid V2G grid to vehicle G2V) help 3

to reduce the risk of technological and resource dependencies in the future 4

The market for stationary storage applications (ESS) is experiencing growth rates of 20 to 30 5

percent depending on individual market forecasts (in the last years CAGR have even been on 6

the level of 60 but decrease with increasing size of the market see Figure 29) 7

The market is currently on a level of few GWh including applications from smaller PV storage 8

systems of 5-10 kWh to larger industrial and grid connected installations for own power 9

consumption peak shaving etc on the MWh level Regarding these growth rates LIB for ESS 10

applications rapidly gain importance as de-central storage solutions compared to the currently 11

dominating central pumped hydro storage (PHS) Forecasts to 2025 differ by size and expect 12

an ESS LIB demand between 20-50 GWh (partially higher eg in [23]) but all forecasts identify 13

high growth rates 14

2343 LIB markets for electric vehicle applications 18

One of the biggest challenges for batteries for electric vehicles (EV including electric cars 19

buses trucks etc) apart from their price is the increase of their volumetric and gravimetric 20

energy density The volumetric energy density is even more important for OEM due to 21

restricted and fixed space and location of the battery in an electric vehicle A very relevant 22

parameter of a battery is its charging and discharging power in particular in continuous 23

operation It determines the fast-charging capability which is an important argument in the 24

use and the establishment on the market At the same time this sets limits to the high-25

performance operation since energy consumption is reduced to protect the battery from 26

damage This illustrates the conflicting effect of different parameters on the battery lifetime 27

Price volume weight and thus charge density as well as chargedischarge rate in terms of 28

usage and durability are the most urgent challenges for battery manufacturers 29

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

38

The market for EV batteries is currently at the level of about 50 GWh (including electric 1

passenger cars busses trucks ebikes scooter forklifts etc) Growth rates are at 20 to 40 2

percent and the demand for EV batteries will lead to a share of about 66 percent in 2020 76 3

percent until 2025 and 80 percent or higher in the long term Electric passenger cars (BEV 4

and PHEV) define the by far largest market within the EV segment and are clearly driving the 5

technology development of high energy Lithium-Ion or Lithium-based batteries in the future 6

7

9

Other motive (or stationary or portable) markets applications besides the highly competitive 10

electric passenger cars therefore can offer interesting growth markets also for smaller cell 11

producers beyond the large Japanese Korean and Chinese cell producers These markets or 12

applications very often define concrete requirements for the battery performance they require 13

an in depth understanding and design from the cell chemistry format to the modulepack and 14

system integration and they still vary strongly by region and are connected to individual system 15

integrators or OEM This is because each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses 16

and none of them can satisfy all userapplication demands Hence a broader application 17

specific technology portfolio is even urgently needed in order to provide alternative individual 18

technology solutions for these emerging marketsapplications 19

20

235 Market channels and production structure 21

2351 Global production capacities and major players 22

Since their commercialization in the 1990s LIB have been predominantly produced by 23

Japanese and Korean companies Driven by the Chinese government particularly cell 24

producers but also companies covering other steps of the LIB value creation chain have been 25

established in China Due to a policy of simultaneous support for LIB production as well as for 26

application markets and due to an extensive subsidy scheme a large share of LIB production 27

capacities is located in China today 28

Figure 31 Figure 32 Figure 33 and Figure 34 show the global LIB production capacities of 29

major cell producers in 2018 as well as forecasts for 2020 2025 and 2030 respectively [36] 30

The data is based on announcements made by the cell producers As discussed in section 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

39

233 the actual time-frame for the implementation of the capacity expansions is often delayed 1

with respect to the original announcements Hence minimum and maximum values for the 2

production capacities are given 3

Figure 34 Global LIB production capacities of major cell producers in 2030 [36] 2

Until 2030 the announced production capacities add up to more than 1 TWh In total there 3

are about 30 cell producers which have announced to build up production capacities of more 4

than 10 GWhyear which can be considered to be a threshold in order to be able to produce 5

at competitve costs [36] If the announced capacities are fully utilized the ldquobig 4rdquo (Panasonic 6

CATL LGC and BYD) will be able to fully cover the market demand (gt550 GWh) until 2025 7

2352 Europes position in the global battery value chain 8

In the EU several actors are positioned which cover production steps along the whole value 9

chain of LIBs starting from raw material production to production of cells and systems and 10

finally recycling However with respect to global markets only few organizations within the EU 11

have a market share of more than 1 in their specific segment eg BASF Germany in the 12

field of electrolyte production [30] 13

An overview about existing and active companies is given by the European Battery Alliance 14

(see Figure 35) Due to the presence of strong automotive OEM LIB pack manufacturing and 15

system integration is taking place on large scale in Europe A particular gap in the value chain 16

is present due to the lack of a large-scale cell production capable of serving the volumes and 17

prices required by the automotive industry 18

Several consortia are currently attempting to build up a European large scale cell 4

manufacturing such as Nothvolt (Sweden) with 32 GWh until 2023 or Saft (together with 5

Siemens and Manz) [39] Recently the German government announced plans for funding of 6

a Batterie-Cell-Alliance between Germany and Poland with cell production capacities in the 7

Regions Lausitz (Germany) and Westpoland [40 41] At the cross section between RampD and 8

large-scale production also a Research Production with 600 Mio EUR funding is foreseen 9

whereas the Fraunhofer Society should coordinate and run such a research production [42] 10

The announced funding from the German government sums up to 2 bn EUR 11

Given all these announced investments and production capacities to build up in the next years 12

the cell production capacities of European cell manufacturers could sum up to over 40 GWh 13

beyond 2025 In contrast main Asian cell manufacturer have already started with cell 14

production (eg LG SDI) or plan to build up production capacities until 2020 to 2025 In 15

concrete there are plans from [43ndash51] 16

17

bull CATL (China) to build 14 GWh in Germany Erfurt beyond 2020 18

bull LG Chem (Japan) to build 15 to 24 GWh (for 03 Mio EVs) in Poland beyond 2020 19

bull Samsung SDI (Japan) to build 10 to 15 GWh beyond 2020 in Hungary (including a 20

recent 5 GWh announcement for 21700 cells for Land Rover 21

bull SK Innovation (Japan) to build 75 GWh in Hungary beyond 2020 22

bull PanasonicTesla to build a (assumed 35GWh) Gigafactory in Europa around 2025 23

bull as well as from BYD (China) GS Yuasa (Japan) and Farasis (US) to build production 24

capacities between 2020 and 2025 25

26

The production capacities from Asian (or non-European) cell manufacturer might sum up to 27

well above 82-96 GWh by 2025 and including BYD GS Yuasa Farasis etc capacities far 28

above 100 GWh can be expected Together with the new EU cell producers this could easily 29

sum up towards the above mentioned 200 GWh demand in Europe But it also clearly indicates 30

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

44

the competition the emerging European players have to face (besides the fact that the plans 1

of the Asian companies are expected to be realized already several years earlier as those of 2

the novel EU companies) 3

2353 Product design trends and technological roadmap 4

Concerning the battery technology or type (by chemistry format etc) which will most likely 5

be produced to address this increasing demand the global roadmaps of cell producers are 6

basically similar Based on state-of-the art cell design (eg LFP NCA based ldquogeneration 1rdquo 7

and NMC111 to NMC532 ldquogeneration 2abrdquo Li-ion batteries) [52] and state-of-the-art 8

production equipment incremental improvements are expected in the next few years but with 9

the target to get to higher-energy lithium-ion batteries Concerning the electrolytes still liquid 10

electrolytes will be used but adopted to the changing electrode materials (eg with additives) 11

Current trends for layered oxide cathodes describe the development of Ni-rich (Co reduced) 12

materials (NMC) A few cell producers are already using NMC811 or comparable cathode 13

materials others are still adopting NMC622 (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3ardquo) On cathode 14

side maybe even lower-cost Mn-rich High Energy NMCs (HE-NMC) might be realized and 15

produced within ~10 years as Mn is cheaper than Ni (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3brdquo) On 16

anode side the trend is to incorporate Si-nano particles to make use of the alloying reaction 17

between Si and Li yielding a high capacitance This however comes at the cost of cycle life 18

Further down the road we might see higher Si contents (~20) 19

20

All-solid-state batteries are on the roadmap of many battery producers but also OEM (also 21

referred to as ldquogeneration 4rdquo) The key performance parameters (KPI) are suitable for electric 22

mobility (EV) Main challenges are indeed manufacturability particularly for ceramic solid state 23

electrolytes which promise to yield the highest advantages over state of the art technologies 24

The market introduction in niche applications is expected possible prior to the use in 25

automotive applications First all-solid-state batteries might not be competitive in terms of 26

energy density but safety properties Later on energy densities of 350-400 Whkg and higher 27

are expected 28

Other technologies (not marked in blue in the above figure) feature certain USPs compared to 4

Li-ion batteries but (according to the current level of knowledge) do not reach the necessary 5

KPIs in terms of energy density power density and cycling stability necessary for electric 6

mobility (these are marked in grey) USPs of these technologies can be cost resource 7

availability either volumetric or gravimetric energy density or others But often even 8

fundamental challenges are not solved yet (eg concerning the stability of materials and 9

electrochemical systems kinetics etc) 10

24 Consumer expenditure base data 2

241 General objective of subtask 24 and approach 3

Subtask 24 gives an overview about average production costs and consumer prices incl 4

VAT (for consumer prices streetprice) excl VAT (for B2B products) as well as an estimation 5

of repair and maintenance as well as installation and disposal costs 6

Due to their recent larger scale market introduction there is still little experience with 7

maintenance as well as disposal expenses Hence only estimations can be made based on 8

isolated sources 9

242 Development of LIB cell costs 10

As the core of LIB based energy storage systems the battery cell exhibits the highest cost 11

share During the last years particularly standardized 18650 format LIB cells have 12

experienced a steep cost learning curve benefiting from production scale effects but also 13

from technological advancements on material level increasing the energy density per volume 14

and weight and decreasing the amount of cost intense Cobalt-based components Compared 15

to this benchmark larger format LIB cells (Pouch prismatic) as are utilized in xEVs and ESS 16

predominantly feature lower energy densities at higher cost per kWh There are however no 17

principal limitations which would prevent a performance and cost development similar to what 18

was observed for cylindrical cells Figure 39 shows the cost learning curves for cylindrical as 19

well as larger format LIB cells [33] Today average costs for cells suitable for automotive use 20

are below 150 eurokWh (cylindrical) and around 200 eurokWh (Pouchprismatic) In specific cases 21

prices around 100 eurokWh have been reported already [53] It should however be noted that 22

with the current market situation LIB prices being below costs are not unlikely to occur 23

Until 2025 production costs of the different cell formats are expected to approach and fall 24

below the mark of 100 eurokWh between 2020 and 2025 Taking further developments on 25

material level into account costs around 60-100 eurokWh seam feasible past 2025 26

Figure 39 Cost learning curves for large LIB cells (cylindrical and Pouchprismatic) [33] 3

Similar cost learning curves have been observed for other battery technologies (see Figure 4

40) In principal cost degression can be limited by demand (compare NiCd) or by reaching 5

material cost limits (compare Pb) Also the diffusion of battery technologies in new markets 6

or applications can lead to further technological improvements and justify higher production 7

costs (compare deviation of NiMH Pb) Following the available data for LIB cells approx 100 8

$kWh (~89 eurokWh) are reached at a cumulative yearly production of 1TWh This mark is 9

expected to be reached between 2020 and 2030 10

Beyond 2030 LIB production costs are however expected to start deviating from this curve 11

due to limiting raw material prices 12

2432 ESS 7

According to recent end-customer price data provided in [55] for 2018 typical consumer prices 8

for small scale (~10 kWh) stationary home storage systems are between 5000 and 15000 9

Euros leading to a relative price of 800 to 1200 eurokWh It is expected that these system prices 10

will benefit from the growing battery markets (also xEV) since similar LIB cell types can be 11

applied in both application areas With respect to inverters and other system related costs the 12

smaller market volume of home ESS indicates lower economy of scale effects as compared 13

to cells 14

So far no comprehensive information on repair and maintenance costs for the battery system 17

2451 Second life and recycling considerations 6

Until today only pilot projects Strategy of automotive OEM regarding second life applications 7

is not known 8

Value of recycled materials can be estimated 9

Three main scenarios possible after end of 1st life (xEV) 10

1 Disposal of batteries (eg separation of liquid and solid components hazardous waste 11

disposal) 12

2 Recycling of batteries and direct regeneration and re-use of cathode materials (2a) or 13

recovery of metals (2b) 14

3 2nd life in ESS applications under limited load (low DOD cycling low power) 15

16

Scenario 1 will add another component to battery costs scenario 2 and 3 could significantly 17

decrease the cost of batteries if energy efficient recycling methods can be developed or viable 18

2nd life business models are established 19

26 Annex 1

2611 Modelling of addressable markets for electric applications 2

Vehicle markets (in units of registrations in the EU28 per year) and ESS markets (in units of 3

number of installed home PV systems or in units of overall renewable (PV wind) electricity 4

generation in the EU28 per year) were modelled by exponential functions 5

119872119905119886119901119901(119905) = 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 6

With Mtapp(t) being the total market volume of an application M0 the market size in 2015 and 7

120591 times 119871119899(2) the time t necessary to double the initial market volume M0 M0 and Tau were chosen 8

to fit existing market data 9

119872119886119901119901(119905) = 119888 times 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 10

With Mapp(t) being the addressable market and c a factor equal or smaller than 1 Parameter 11

c lt 1 was chosen to take into account that not the whole existing market Mtapp might be 12

addressable by electric technologies Eg a share of vehicles primarily used for long distance 13

travel might not be addressable by BEV but by PHEV only 14

The market addressable for passenger PHEV (as a transition technology on the path to full 15

electric vehicles) was modelled as the difference of total vehicle sales and BEV sales 16

119872119875119867119864119881(119905) = 119888 times 119872119905119901119886119904119904119890119899119892119890119903(119905) minus 119878119861119864119881(119905) 17

The market addressable for passenger BEV was modelled like Mapp(t) with c lt 1 18

2612 Modelling of sales numbers of xEV and ESS 19

Yearly sales numbers Sapp(t) for the different applications were modelled by logistic growth 20

functions Logistic functions can model diffusion of technologies into existing markets with a 21

given market volume M The market volume can be a moving target M = M(t) The relative 22

change of sales numbers Srsquoapp(t)Sapp(t) is proportional to the market volume not yet 23

developed by a technology Mapp(t) ndash Sapp(t) 24

119878119886119901119901(119905) = 119872119886119901119901(119905) times1

1 + 119864119909119901(minus119872119886119901119901(119905) times (119905 minus 1199050)120591)(119872119886119901119901(119905)

119878119886119901119901(1199050)minus 1)

25

With Tau being a time constant and Sapp(t0) being the yearly sales number at year t0 (eg 26

2015) 27

Short time constants Tau of few years were used to model ESS sales Due to limitations of 28

the existing electricity grid to only buffer a certain share of fluctuating PV and wind generated 29

electricity the further expansion of renewable electricity generation might be strongly coupled 30

to ESS installations Hence ESS sales were modelled to closely follow the assumed 31

installations of renewable power in the limit of ldquovery fastrdquo market diffusion (120591 rarr 0) 32

2613 Modelling of battery system capacities 33

Battery capacities EBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws In 34

particular BEV battery capacities increased in the last years from 30 kWh in 2013 to more than 35

40 kWh in 2018 (EU sales and production averages) In the long term we expect BEV 36

capacities to converge towards a value sufficient to provide average driving ranges of some 37

100 km Battery capacity growth rates are hence supposed to slow down 38

119864119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198640 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 1

With E0 being the average battery capacity in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years and 2

b an exponent lt 1 The parameters were chosen to fit existing data 3

2614 Modelling of battery replacement rates 4

Battery replacement rates RrBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws 5

The replacement rate defines the share of batteries installed in year t that had to be replaced 6

within the lifetime of a system (xEV ESS) In particular for vehicles it is assumed that xEV 7

manufacturers currently install battery cells with a high lifetime and cyclability (several 8

thousand cycles) In the mid-term we expect that battery life and vehicle life (eg 200000 to 9

300000 km) will be matched by car manufacturers Assuming a constant vehicle lifetime 10

battery replacement rates are supposed to increase over time 11

119877119903119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198770 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 12

With R0 being the average replacement rate in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years 13

and b an exponent lt 1 At present there is no data available to fit the parameters Parameters 14

were estimated based on the usage profile and load of different applications 15

2615 Modelling of system lifetimes (xEV ESS) 16

System lifetimes Ltsystem(t) were assumed to be constant Ltsystem(t)= Ltsystem Parameters were 17

estimated based on manufacturer statements and typical lifetimes for combustion powered 18

vehicles 19

2616 Calculation of battery replacements 20

Battery replacements RpBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 21

calculated by assuming a uniform distribution of battery replacements over the lifetime 22

Ltsystem(i) of battery systems installed in year i 23

2617 Calculation of battery decommissions 25

Battery decommissions DcBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 26

assumed to happen coincident with the end of life of the systems (Ltsystem) they were installed 27

in in year i This neglects any second life usage in t gt i It was assumed that xEV or ESS 28

manufacturers will tune the battery lifetime to match the system lifetime (see 2614) 29

2 Task 2 Markets 1

The objective of Task 2 is to present an economic and market analysis of batteries according 2

to the definition presented in 121 The aims are 3

bull to place batteries (according to the definition provided in 121) within the context of EU 4

industry and trade policy (subtask 21) 5

bull to provide market size and cost inputs for the EU-wide environmental impact assessment 6

of the product group (subtask 22) 7

bull to provide insight into the latest market trends to help assess the impact of potential 8

Ecodesign measures with regard to market structures and ongoing trends in product 9

design (subtask 23 also relevant for the impact analyses in Task 3) and finally 10

bull to provide a practical data set of prices and rates to be used for Life Cycle Cost (LCC) 11

calculations (subtask 24) 12

21 Generic economic data 13

In the MEErP generic economic data refers to data that is available in official EU statistics 14

(eg PRODCOM) and the aim is to identify and report the lsquoEU apparent consumptionrsquo which 15

is defined as lsquoEU production + EU import ndash EU exportrsquo Also the average value of each product 16

is verified The information required for this subtask should be derived from official EU 17

statistics so as to be coherent with official data used in EU industry and trade policy 18

211 Approach to subtask 2 19

PRODCOM data is publicly available and is a direct source of market information PRODCOM 20

data does not give any direct information about the total number of installed batteries in use 21

in the EU28 member countries The data might also not account for batteries imported to or 22

exported from the EU as sub-unit of other products (eg batteries in cell phones) 23

2111 Secondary batteries related PRODCOM categories 24

Several categories on batteries exist within the NACE2 classification (see Table 1) however 25

there is no category for LIB cells modules or packs LIB based secondary batteries are 26

included in the composite category 2702300 along with all other not Pb-based secondary 27

battery technologies 28

27201100 Primary cells and primary batteries

27201200 Parts of primary cells and primary batteries (excluding battery

carbons for rechargeable batteries)

27202100 Lead-acid accumulators for starting piston engines

27202200 Lead-acid accumulators excluding for starting piston engines

27202300 Nickel-cadmium nickel metal hydride lithium-ion lithium

polymer nickel-iron and other electric accumulators

27202400 Parts of electric accumulators including separators

Table 1 PRODCOM categories related to batteries [1] 1

2112 SystemBMS related PRODCOM categories 2

Within the NACE2 classification there are no explicit categories for LIB system components 3

like the battery management system however there are categories including components 4

which are likely to be applied in the power electronics or BMS of battery packs and systems 5

A selection is listed in Table 2 Automatic circuit breakers as a part of technology crucial for 6

battery management systems are aggregated under PRODCOM categories 27122250 and 7

2121 Electric accumulators including LIBs 18

Figure 1 shows the development of production import and export volumes in Euro for 19

PRODCOM category 27202300 in the time from 1995 to 2017 The data shows an increase 20

of market volume in all three categories Since several battery technologies are aggregated in 21

this PRODCOM category values specific for LIB cannot obtained from this data Due to the 22

development of the different battery technologies it is likely that the market values in the 1990s 23

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

7

and early 2000s can mainly be attributed to NiMH NiCd and other technologies The growth 1

experienced since 2010 in all three market categories is likely to be a result of the development 2

in the LIB market which can be considered to be the dominant submarket under the battery 3

technologies aggregated under 27202300 today (see and compare section 233 with a global 4

analysis of different battery technologies) 5

Figure 1 EU production import and export summarized in PRODCOM category 27202300 7

Nickel-cadmium nickel metal hydride lithium-ion lithium polymer nickel-iron and other 8

electric accumulators [2] 9

Note that no production volumes in terms of units or kWh are available from Eurostat 10

The value of batteries integrated into applications or sold as end products in Europe can be 11

assessed by considering the EU consumption value (EU sales and trade) which results from 12

the sum of production and import minus export values (see Figure 2) After a plateau like 13

market behavior between 2000 and 2010 a steep increase of the EU consumption value can 14

be observed The 2017 value adds up to about 4 billion Euro Assuming that the majority share 15

of this value can be attributed to LIB with a market price of 300 to 500 eurokWh (Mix of higher 16

priced consumer cells and lower priced automotive cells) the value corresponds to a capacity 17

of 8 to 13 GWh In consideration of its estimated character this number is in accordance with 18

the data presented in section 224 (based on a bottom up estimation of the capacity demand 19

by passenger xEV and home storage ESS markets 3C markets are not considered) 20

Figure 2 EU sales and trade (PROD+IMP-EXP) summarized in PRODCOM category 3

27202300 Nickel-cadmium nickel metal hydride lithium-ion lithium polymer nickel-iron and 4

other electric accumulators [2] 5

Hence it can be assumed that the data presented in the PRODCOM database meets the right 6

magnitude Due to the aggregation of battery technologies the consumption value of LIB alone 7

can however not be assessed by this data Furthermore the large price spread for LIB and 8

the dynamic development of prices does not allow to reliably conclude on the demand of 9

battery capacity (GWh) An assessment of market development and installed LIB stock in 10

Europe is given in section 22 and 23 based on other data sources 11

2122 Circuit breakers as an example for BMS electronics 12

LIB cells as gathered in category 27202300 are only one of the subunits of battery systems 13

Housing protection cooling electrical and electronic components are supposedly measured 14

in different PRODCOM categories 15

Figure 3 Figure 4 Figure 5 and Figure 6 show production import export and EU sales and 16

trade data for automatic circuit breakers as potential component of BMS EU consumption 17

values do not show a clear upward trend comparable to the values for battery technologies 18

Although an increase of export and import values can be observed no clear correlation with 19

the production of battery systems for xEV or stationary storage in Europe can be observed 20

We conclude that the analysis of individual storage system related PRODCOM categories 21

does not allow to assess the market development for complete battery systems 22

22 Market and stock data 8

221 General objective of subtask 22 and discussion of useful data 9

sources 10

The objective is to compile market and stock data in physical units for the EU for each of the 11

product categories defined in Task 11 and for the stock (1990-2015) combined with a forecast 12

2020-2050 Therefore the following parameters need to be identified 13

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

11

bull Market and installed stock assessment in units of number of systems (battery systems 1

for xEV battery systems for ESS) and corresponding battery capacity (MWh or GWh) 2

bull Replacement cycles and life time data This data is assumed to be strongly application 3

depending At present there is no comprehensive data available 4

2211 Useful data sources 5

Several market studies describing the present and future market situation for battery-based 6

applications exist Most of these studies have a global scope or focus on Asian countries due 7

to the structure of the battery market Comprehensive studies providing market data for the 8

EU and its member states are not known 9

To give an overview about stock and battery markets for the EU28 member states the 10

following bottom-up sources were utilized to give model estimations 11

bull Fraunhofer ISI in-house xEV database [3] The database has been developed in 2014 12

by Fraunhofer ISI and is updated since on an annual basis The last update was done 13

in November 2018 It covers global production and sales numbers for xEV models 14

broken down to countries as well as information on battery capacity and range of the 15

vehicles The database aggregates information provided by Marklines Co Ltd [4] the 16

European Alternative Fuels Observatory [5] the ev-sales blog [6] and other online 17

sources 18

bull Fraunhofer ISI in-house LIB database [7] The database covers information on the 19

major industrial players in the Li-ion business from materials to cell production The 20

development and location of production capacities is frequently updated Information 21

on performance and cost of commercially available battery cells as well as the meta 22

analysis of several studies providing forecasts on the respective developments are 23

also covered in the database Information is collected from several online sources and 24

available product data sheets 25

bull B3 corporation market studies B3 corporation provides topical market studies on xEV 26

ESS and material markets for Li-ion batteries The market data is updated on an 27

annual basis B3 studies have a global scope but occasionally also cover local 28

European markets 29

bull Additional market studies and databases as discussed in the following sections 30

222 Market stock and forecast for xEVs in Europe 31

As will be shown in section 23 the stock of installed medium or large-sized batteries in Europe 32

is strongly related to the diffusion of electric mobility In contrast to several Asian countries 33

xEV sales in Europe predominantly concern passenger cars Ebuses as well as light and 34

heavy commercial vehicles still do not play a major role in terms of installed capacity At 35

present the average energy content of a BEV passenger electric vehicle battery is higher than 36

40 kWh Small vehicles like the Renault Twizy feature a capacity of less than 10 kWh while 37

the models with highest capacity sold in EU28 countries approach the 100 kWh mark (Jaguar 38

iPace and Tesla Model X 90 kWh Tesla Model 3 73 kWh) The amount of battery capacity 39

installed in passenger PHEVs is about 10 kWh and has remained on a constant level over the 40

last years (see Figure 7) 41

2221 Production and sales of BEV 4

Figure 8 shows the number of produced BEVs [3] broken down to the production country from 5

2010 to 2018 A forecast until 2020 based on the average growth rates between 2016 and 6

2018 is shown in addition This production data is a measure for the demand of battery cells 7

in the individual EU28 countries 8

Germany France and the Netherlands lead the field of BEV producers in Europe On 9

European level an average yearly growth rate of over 40 can be observed It is expected 10

that the number of 150000 produced BEVs in 2018 will double in 2020 11

12

Figure 8 Production numbers for BEVs produced in EU28 countries and forecast until 2020 13

[3] 14

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

13

In contrast to the production data the sales numbers for BEV reflect the amount of installed 1

vehicle batteries in the individual EU28 countries It can be seen in Figure 9 that the proportion 2

among the EU28 countries in terms of sold vehicles is much more even as compared to the 3

production Germany France the United Kingdom and the Netherlands lead the market 4

however significant sales numbers can also be found in other countries The level and growth 5

rates of BEV sales is comparable to BEV production It should however be noted that there is 6

significant trade with other regions of the world eg BEV imports from KR (Hyundai) and JP 7

(Mitsubishi Nissan) and exports to North America (BMW Volkswagen) Hence the BEV 8

market can not be considered to be an internal market 9

10

Figure 9 Number of sold BEVs in EU28 member states and forecast until 2020 [3] 11

2222 Production and sales of PHEV 12

Similar to section 2221 production and sales numbers for PHEV resolved by country are 13

shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11 Although on a comparable level in terms of produced and 14

sold vehicles it must be emphasized that the contribution of PHEVs to the demand for battery 15

capacity is due to the smaller size of the battery much less than the demand generated by 16

BEVs At present the main production sites for PHEVs are located in Germany Due to 17

production sites for Audi (VW) and Volvo PHEVs Sweden and Slovakia also significantly 18

contribute to the production 19

In terms of sales the largest demand for PHEVs is generated in the UK Germany and 4

Sweden Interestingly the share of sold PHEVs also produced in the EU is higher as 5

compared to BEVs 6

2223 Forecast xEV sales and stock EU28 9

The data presented in sections 2221 and 2222 was used as an input for a forecast model 10

on passenger PHEV and BEV as well as light and heavy commercial xEVs (see also [8] and 11

section 26) 12

It was assumed that extrapolated EU wide sales numbers and growth rates for passenger as 13

well as light vehicles [9] represent natural boundaries for the growth of xEV markets Logistic 14

growth functions (see setion 26) were used to model market diffusion Passenger BEV were 15

assumed to replace 75 of all passenger car sales in the long term Passenger PHEV were 16

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

15

assumed to be an initially faster growing transition technology which will partially be replaced 1

by BEV in the long term A passenger xEV lifetime of 12 years with battery replacement rates 2

of 15 per lifetime were assumed For commercial vehicles a lifetime of 9 years and 3

replacement rate of 25 and a lifetime of 12 years and battery replacement rate of 80 were 4

assumed for light and heavy vehicles respectively The assumption for the market model is 5

summarized in Table 3 and Table 4 and shall be subject to discussion during the stakeholder 6

meeting 7

223 Market stock and forecast for ESS in Europe 3

As discussed in Task 1 several stationary applications for batteries exist ranging from grid 4

support to home storage As will be shown in section 23 the demand for battery capacity 5

generated by ESS applications at present is rather small as compared to 3C and motive 6

markets There is no systematic registration of large scale or small scale stationary storage 7

systems in the EU Hence the market stock and volume for respective applications can only 8

be estimated based on indirect data 9

2231 Photovoltaic installations in the EU 10

Energy storage systems in combination with photovoltaic installations are one major 11

application for batteries both for private as well as commercial purposes Due to changes in 12

reimbursement and subsidy policy as well as the physical capability of the energy system to 13

buffer and process high shares of renewable energy the use of local energy storage systems 14

is becoming more and more popular There is no data on the share of PV installations 15

equipped with an energy storage system for the EU However on regional level some data is 16

20

available According to [10] approximately half of the PV systems with a peak power below 1

30 kW installed in Germany in 2017 have been equipped with an energy storage option 2

(amounting to about 30000 storage systems with a cumulative capacity of 400 MWh) 3

At present the installation of storage systems is strongly coupled to new installations of PV 4

systems As shown in Figure 16 with data on Germany the retrofit of existing PV installations 5

with storage systems is however expected to contribute significantly to the demand for battery 6

capacity in the PV segment in the future Within the forecast shown 50 of the sold storage 7

systems might be integrated into already existing PV-systems in 2030 8

Figure 16 PV installations and retrofit of existing PV installations in Germany Data and image 10

taken from [11] 11

Figure 17 shows the yearly installed PV power (MW) in the EU28 [12] A boom of PV 12

installations can clearly be observed for the years 2010 to 2012 mainly driven by installations 13

in Germany and Italy Likely as a result of changing subsidy policies the yearly installed PV 14

power has since then steadily decreased in both countries On the other hand a steady 15

increase in installations can be observed for the Netherlands and the UK In the forecast model 16

applied in [12] a slight increase in new installations is expected until 2021 driven by 17

installations in the UK and Portugal as well as member countries which so far do not have 18

any considerable PV installations Due to decreasing costs for solar panels and rather stable 19

remuneration rates this upward trend seems to be justified 20

Figure 17 PV installations in EU28 countries and forecast until 2020 Data taken from [12] 2

Based on the data given in [10] for Germany 80 of the installed PV systems can be attributed 3

to small or medium sized installations (average of 10 kWp) directly feeding into the low-voltage 4

grid In terms of power these systems amount to about 30 of the installations If equipped 5

with an energy storage system the average battery capacity amounts to 8 to 10 kWh [13] 6

Concerning installations in Europe it can be argued that there is a trend towards smaller roof-7

top systems for more densely populated and less sunny regions while in particular in the 8

southern European countries larger solar parks are favored Since no comprehensive data 9

covering the whole EU is available only a rough estimation for the demand of battery storage 10

systems and capacity can be made 11

Assuming that the number of smaller roof-top installations (30 of power) as well as the 12

number of systems equipped with an ESS (50 of installations lt 30 kWp) is above average 13

for Germany as compared to the rest of the EU the market data and forecasts given in [12] 14

and [11] would lead to a demand for battery capacity as summarized in Table 5 15

2232 Wind Turbine installations in the EU 5

Similar to section 2231 for PV installations Figure 18 shows data and forecasts for wind 6

turbine power installations in the EU28 [12] In contrast to PV installations wind turbine power 7

is almost exclusively attributed to larger scale wind parks We conclude that the use of small 8

scale ESS for the optimization of private energy consumption is therefore not driven by wind 9

power installations 10

Still the ongoing installation of wind turbine power in the EU28 might become a driver for large 11

scale decentralized energy storage systems however there is no market data available which 12

would allow for a battery demand forecast 13

the 450 MWh installed until 2018 in total 340 MWh were installed in Germany and 80 MWh 8

Note that most of these installations are prototype or test facilities which does not allow to 8

use this application share as template for future market developments The total installed 9

capacity of 340 MWh in 2017 suggests that the market volume of large scale ESS is of the 10

same order of magnitude as that of home storage Note that the installed capacity for 2017 in 11

[14] is only 65 MWh It is however not stated in [12] whether the listed ESS projects are still in 12

2234 Forecast ESS sales and stock EU28 2

The data presented in sections 2231 2232 and 2233 was used as an input for a forecast 3

model on large scale and home ESS 4

EU wide sales numbers and growth rates for PV coupled home storage systems were 5

extrapolated with declining growth rates for 2035 and beyond With respect to large scale ESS 6

it was assumed that the generation of electricity by renewable sources exceeding 17 (2015 7

value [15]) of the total electricity generation necessitates a certain amount of ESS buffer 8

capacity EU 2020 and 2030 targets [16 17] for the share of renewable electricity generation 9

were used as a forecast model The buffer capacity demand was estimated to be 70 of the 10

daily electrical energy generated by renewables exceeding the share of 17 11

A lifetime of 20 years with a replacement rate of 10 was assumed for home ESS and a 12

lifetime of 20 years with a battery replacement rate of 80 within this lifetime was assumed 13

for large scale ESS System capacities were modelled by a power law based on present-day 14

values The assumptions for the market model are summarized in Table 7 and Table 8 and 15

shall be subject to discussion during the stakeholder meeting 16

224 Summary of the market sales forecast and estimation of the future 1

and past stock 2

As shown in sections 222 and 223 several drivers exist for the application of battery storage 3

systems in stationary and motive applications While the demand for battery capacity 4

generated by BEV and PHEV passenger cars was on the level of several GWh for 2017 the 5

ESS markets might still be below the 1 GWh mark in the EU 6

With respect to the increase of average battery capacity installed in different applications (see 7

Figure 22) and the growth rates for the sales of xEV and ESS (see sections 2223 and 8

2232) forecasts for the total new installations (including replacements) of batteries in the 9

EU28 are shown in Figure 23 See annex for further comments 10

11

Figure 22 Average system battery energy (kWh or MWh) forecast 12

23 Market trends 3

231 General objective of subtask 23 and approach 4

The following chapter provides a comprehensive market overview on global battery sales 5

demand and players Starting with the market development of Lithium-ion batteries between 6

2010 to 2017 scenarios until 2025 to 2030 are presented including a meta-analysis of several 7

most recent market reports (eg [18ndash27]) Step by step the regional markets and markets by 8

applications will be specified 9

232 Market drivers and CO2 legislation [28] 10

Climate and energy policies are main drivers for the energy future and are expected to lead to 11

an increasing demand for energy storage in the mid and long term (see Figure 24) According 12

to the European Unionacutes decarbonization objective a reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) 13

emissions to 80 ndash 95 below 1990 levels should be achieved by 2050 14

In particular for the transport sector no full decarbonization is achieved [29] even in the longer 15

term (other sectors have to compensate with higher GHG reductions) The overall reduction 16

achieved in the transport sector by 2050 is only around 60 below 1990 levels The 17

increasing trend in emissions seen over the past 20 years is expected to reverse by the CO2 18

legislation From 2020 on the fleet average to be achieved by all new cars is 95 grams of CO2 19

per kilometer (compared to 130 gkm in 2015) 20

Many other governments world-wide have specified CO2 emission targets and are striving 21

towards a low carbon economy Particularly in the field of passenger and commercial vehicles 22

fuel consumption and emission targets have been installed which significantly drive the 23

introduction of battery or fuel cell powered electric vehicles Among these emission policies 24

the targets set by the EU are among the most ambitious (see Table 11) Meeting them will 25

require a significant share of electric vehicles 26

Table 11 Overview about fuel consumption and CO2-emission targets for passenger vehicles 1

of the EU and other countries leading battery and electric mobility markets [30] 2

In this context electric mobility is gaining importance since electric vehicles especially plug-3

in hybrid and pure battery electric vehicles can help to achieve or fulfill these limits due to 4

improved CO2 footprints compared to conventional cars However for low CO2 footprints over 5

the lifetime of electric cars a high share of ldquolow carbonrdquo renewable energy sources (RES) in 6

the energy mix is needed and important (Figure 24 left side) 7

8

Figure 24 Climate and energy policies as drivers for future energy storage demand [28] 9

The EU Energy Roadmap 2050 [31 32] has shown across six scenarios that the 10

decarbonization goal can be achieved if the share of renewable energy sources (RES) among 11

the power generation capacity is high (gt 60 until 2050) for all scenarios Especially for the 12

high RES scenario the share of fluctuating energy generation (wind photovoltaic ndash PV) is the 13

strongest which has to be balanced Grid expansion andor flexibilization measures (eg 14

demand side management power to gas and vehicle to grid besides stationary battery 15

storage) are potential solutions Thus the high RES scenario is the most interesting scenario 16

with respect to a potential future demand for energy storage solutions (ESS) on local 17

distribution and transmission grid levels (Figure 24 right side) In order to have a significant 18

GHG reduction with EVs it will also be important to achieve the RES targets 19

233 The developing battery market 1

The total annual battery market is currently on the level of 45-60 billion Euro representing 2

approximately 400-500 GWh (including Lead-acid Lithium-Ion and other batteries) [33] 3

Lithium-ion batteries (LIB) have succeeded because of their high gravimetric and volumetric 4

energy densities and have a market share of about a third in terms of value among the whole 5

battery market The growth is driven by the decreasing cell costs of less than 170 eurokWh for a 6

standard cylindrical cell (lowest prices) approaching the 90 eurokWh mark in the next years This 7

cost degression is due to increasing capacity demand and production and thus due to scale 8

effects 9

Although the LIB market is drastically growing with annual growth rates of up to 30 percent 10

on average (in terms of battery capacity demand) the dominating battery technology in terms 11

of capacity however are still lead-acid batteries representing about 90 percent of the global 12

demand in volume around 2010 and 80 percent in 2017 13

14

15

Figure 25 Historical development of the global battery demand in GWh (left axis for NiCd 16

NiMH right axis for all other battery types grey total battery demand) [34] 17

Other mature battery technologies like NiCd (still partly used in power tools) and NiMH (still 18

used in hybrid electric vehicles HEV) are slowly declining and are expected to disappear from 19

the market in the next decade The diversification of future battery applications however will 20

also broaden the range of battery technologies Emerging technologies like Na-based Metal-21

Sulfur or Redox Flow batteries are developing and may lead to attractive solutions eg with 22

respect to cost and resource availability advantages However due to very strict requirements 23

on volumetric energy densities these technologies are expected to be relevant for stationary 24

or other special markets and less for the most significant electric vehicle market In general 25

each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses and none of them can satisfy all user 26

demands Hence a broader application-specific technology portfolio is urgently needed in 27

order to provide alternative technology solutions in the future 28

The extremely dynamic development of the global LIB demand will lead to the TWh level latest 29

around 2030 and grow further after 2030 Thus LIB will very soon transform into the 30

dominating energy storage technology 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

34

Figure 26 shows three different scenarios for the global demand for LIB between 2010 and 1

2030 (green curves) along with global production capacities (orange and blue curve)[33] 2

While at the beginning of the decade the demand and sales numbers followed the medium 3

growth rate trend scenario the market has been approaching the high growth rate scenario in 4

the last years This is mainly due to the strong engagement of politics and respective 5

regulation and subsidy programs for electric mobility As can be seen from the graph the 6

share of demand generated by motive applications is expected to significantly grow in the next 7

years and might account for more than one third of the total LIB demand by 2025 8

To face this increasing demand for LIB cells accordingly production capacities need to be 9

build up in the near future Based on the currently existing cell production capacities and the 10

global announcements from established and new cell producers until 2025 the LIB cell 11

production capacities (blue line in 12

Figure 26) have been identified Compared to 15 GWh added production capacity between 13

2013 and 2016 in the next years around 50 GWh will be added annually leading to around 14

700 GWh production capacities until 2025 (in the optimistic case see blue line in 15

Figure 26) The announcements include established players such as Panasonic (JP) LG 16

Chem (KR) Samsung (KR) SKI (KR) BYD (CN) Lishen (CN) CATL (CN) CALB (CN) 17

OPTIMUM (CN) and several further Chinese cell producers Also new players such as TerraE 18

(DE) Northvolt (SW) Boston Energy (US AU) Energy Absolute (Thailand) are included 19

while accounting for the different stages of expansion [20 27] 20

21

234 Battery markets by application 23

Diversification of applications for batteries 24

The above described global developments of battery demand and production strongly concern 25

high-energy lithium-ion batteries with the cell chemistries NMC NCA (Ni-rich and Co-reduced 26

cathodes) and SiC (high capacity SiC anodes with 5-10 or higher Si content) and cell 27

formats cylindrical (eg larger 21700 compared to standard 18650) large pouch or prismatic 28

cells The target is to develop and produce cells with improved gravimetric and volumetric 29

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

35

energy densities and reduced costs in order to meet the requirements of the automotive 1

industry Electric passenger cars are driving the demand and thus development of the battery 2

technology and these optimized and cost reduced batteries define the benchmark today and 3

in the future 4

LIB demand by applications 5

In Figure 27 the global LIB demand is broken down to the three main sectors for battery 6

demand which can be characterised each having different profiles of requirement 7

bull electric mobility or electric vehicles (EV including eg passenger cars light 8

commercial vehicles buses trucks scooters ebikes etc) 9

bull stationary energy storage systems (ESS) and 10

bull portable devices (3C ndash Computer Communication Consumer) 11

The LIB cell demand developed to almost 25 GWh in 2010 since the market introduction in 12

the early 1990s and dominantly resulted from portable devices In 2015 the cell demand of 13

about 70 GWh was distributed already almost 5050 between 3C and EV applications 14

15

Figure 27 Global LIB demand (in GWh and share in ) by segment [34] 16

Since 2015 the global LIB demand has increased with compound annual growth rates 17

(CAGR) of ~25 from about 70 GWh to about 110 GWh in 2017 The market for electric 18

vehicles currently grows with 30-40 (and more depending on the application and region) and 19

a diversification in applications (eg buses trucks other light to heavy commercial vehicles 20

marine applications drones etc) can be observed 21

With the diversification of future markets and applications cost sensitive markets will arise for 22

which optimized high-energy and cost reduced automotive cells of certain cell formats will be 23

used However also applications with stronger requirements on long lifetime high cycleability 24

fast charging capability safety etc will emerge and diffuse where cost is not the most 25

relevant factor and other battery technologies (ie cell chemistries formats) can provide a 26

unique selling proposition and hence lead to a product differentiation 27

2341 LIB markets for 3C applications 28

Portable devices (3C) have been the main applications for LIB cells in the past Power tools 29

medical devices and wearables are expected to be products with an emerging future market 30

for small LIB cells but with enormous quantities The price per kWh that can be stored plays a 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

36

less important role for these applications As far as charging is concerned technologies such 1

as energy harvesting and wireless charging are expected to be introduced in the future For 2

many markets and products such as household devices garden cleaning power tools other 3

mobile leisure applications etc today mostly cylindrical LIB cells of the format 18650 are used 4

With the introduction of 21700 cells also larger cylindrical cells become available now and are 5

expected to be used in diffuse in such applications Although different specific cell chemistries 6

might be suitable depending on the concrete application again it can be stated that the 3C 7

segment is expected to lead to a comparably small battery capacity demand compared to the 8

EV segment and will not be the limiting segment with respect to the risk of resource 9

dependencies 10

In the next few years growth rates of about 5 to 10 percent are expected for the 3C markets 11

while laptop battery demand is developing at lower growth rates and power tools medical 12

devices etc are supporting the growth rates for the battery demand 13

14

15

Figure 28 Demand and growth of the 3C LIB market [34] 16

2342 LIB markets for stationary (ESS) applications 17

Stationary energy storage systems (ESS) can be divided into different size classes with regard 18

to the capacity and charging times Both together decide on the application area (eg small 19

PV storage at home peak load to long-term storage) [35] Beyond that the price per kWh put 20

through over the lifetime is the economic key factor (as synthesized by the LCOE levelized 21

cost of energy) In contrast gravimetric and volumetric energy density plays a subordinate 22

role Due to that lead-acid batteries were often used as storage technology for off- and on-23

grid storage Currently LIBs are being established for commercial use and meanwhile reach 24

an annual demand of some few GWh Other electrochemical storage technologies such as 25

sodium-sulfur batteries are still used but the demand for LIB is strongly increasing for ESS It 26

is expected that 2nd life concepts for batteries that had their first life in electric vehicles will 27

gain importance together with market diffusion in the EV segment as the requirements on the 28

batteries are less demanding in the ESS segment This however will require the development 29

of according business models standardization etc The much broader available technology 30

batteries that are connected to the grid on a large scale with higher market diffusion can be 2

regarded as stationary storage systems as well (vehicle to grid V2G grid to vehicle G2V) help 3

to reduce the risk of technological and resource dependencies in the future 4

The market for stationary storage applications (ESS) is experiencing growth rates of 20 to 30 5

percent depending on individual market forecasts (in the last years CAGR have even been on 6

the level of 60 but decrease with increasing size of the market see Figure 29) 7

The market is currently on a level of few GWh including applications from smaller PV storage 8

systems of 5-10 kWh to larger industrial and grid connected installations for own power 9

consumption peak shaving etc on the MWh level Regarding these growth rates LIB for ESS 10

applications rapidly gain importance as de-central storage solutions compared to the currently 11

dominating central pumped hydro storage (PHS) Forecasts to 2025 differ by size and expect 12

an ESS LIB demand between 20-50 GWh (partially higher eg in [23]) but all forecasts identify 13

high growth rates 14

2343 LIB markets for electric vehicle applications 18

One of the biggest challenges for batteries for electric vehicles (EV including electric cars 19

buses trucks etc) apart from their price is the increase of their volumetric and gravimetric 20

energy density The volumetric energy density is even more important for OEM due to 21

restricted and fixed space and location of the battery in an electric vehicle A very relevant 22

parameter of a battery is its charging and discharging power in particular in continuous 23

operation It determines the fast-charging capability which is an important argument in the 24

use and the establishment on the market At the same time this sets limits to the high-25

performance operation since energy consumption is reduced to protect the battery from 26

damage This illustrates the conflicting effect of different parameters on the battery lifetime 27

Price volume weight and thus charge density as well as chargedischarge rate in terms of 28

usage and durability are the most urgent challenges for battery manufacturers 29

38

The market for EV batteries is currently at the level of about 50 GWh (including electric 1

passenger cars busses trucks ebikes scooter forklifts etc) Growth rates are at 20 to 40 2

percent and the demand for EV batteries will lead to a share of about 66 percent in 2020 76 3

percent until 2025 and 80 percent or higher in the long term Electric passenger cars (BEV 4

and PHEV) define the by far largest market within the EV segment and are clearly driving the 5

technology development of high energy Lithium-Ion or Lithium-based batteries in the future 6

Other motive (or stationary or portable) markets applications besides the highly competitive 10

electric passenger cars therefore can offer interesting growth markets also for smaller cell 11

producers beyond the large Japanese Korean and Chinese cell producers These markets or 12

applications very often define concrete requirements for the battery performance they require 13

an in depth understanding and design from the cell chemistry format to the modulepack and 14

system integration and they still vary strongly by region and are connected to individual system 15

integrators or OEM This is because each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses 16

and none of them can satisfy all userapplication demands Hence a broader application 17

specific technology portfolio is even urgently needed in order to provide alternative individual 18

technology solutions for these emerging marketsapplications 19

235 Market channels and production structure 21

2351 Global production capacities and major players 22

Since their commercialization in the 1990s LIB have been predominantly produced by 23

Japanese and Korean companies Driven by the Chinese government particularly cell 24

producers but also companies covering other steps of the LIB value creation chain have been 25

established in China Due to a policy of simultaneous support for LIB production as well as for 26

application markets and due to an extensive subsidy scheme a large share of LIB production 27

capacities is located in China today 28

Figure 31 Figure 32 Figure 33 and Figure 34 show the global LIB production capacities of 29

major cell producers in 2018 as well as forecasts for 2020 2025 and 2030 respectively [36] 30

The data is based on announcements made by the cell producers As discussed in section 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

39

233 the actual time-frame for the implementation of the capacity expansions is often delayed 1

with respect to the original announcements Hence minimum and maximum values for the 2

production capacities are given 3

Figure 34 Global LIB production capacities of major cell producers in 2030 [36] 2

Until 2030 the announced production capacities add up to more than 1 TWh In total there 3

are about 30 cell producers which have announced to build up production capacities of more 4

than 10 GWhyear which can be considered to be a threshold in order to be able to produce 5

at competitve costs [36] If the announced capacities are fully utilized the ldquobig 4rdquo (Panasonic 6

CATL LGC and BYD) will be able to fully cover the market demand (gt550 GWh) until 2025 7

2352 Europes position in the global battery value chain 8

In the EU several actors are positioned which cover production steps along the whole value 9

chain of LIBs starting from raw material production to production of cells and systems and 10

finally recycling However with respect to global markets only few organizations within the EU 11

have a market share of more than 1 in their specific segment eg BASF Germany in the 12

field of electrolyte production [30] 13

An overview about existing and active companies is given by the European Battery Alliance 14

(see Figure 35) Due to the presence of strong automotive OEM LIB pack manufacturing and 15

system integration is taking place on large scale in Europe A particular gap in the value chain 16

is present due to the lack of a large-scale cell production capable of serving the volumes and 17

prices required by the automotive industry 18

Several consortia are currently attempting to build up a European large scale cell 4

manufacturing such as Nothvolt (Sweden) with 32 GWh until 2023 or Saft (together with 5

Siemens and Manz) [39] Recently the German government announced plans for funding of 6

a Batterie-Cell-Alliance between Germany and Poland with cell production capacities in the 7

Regions Lausitz (Germany) and Westpoland [40 41] At the cross section between RampD and 8

large-scale production also a Research Production with 600 Mio EUR funding is foreseen 9

whereas the Fraunhofer Society should coordinate and run such a research production [42] 10

The announced funding from the German government sums up to 2 bn EUR 11

Given all these announced investments and production capacities to build up in the next years 12

the cell production capacities of European cell manufacturers could sum up to over 40 GWh 13

beyond 2025 In contrast main Asian cell manufacturer have already started with cell 14

production (eg LG SDI) or plan to build up production capacities until 2020 to 2025 In 15

concrete there are plans from [43ndash51] 16

17

bull CATL (China) to build 14 GWh in Germany Erfurt beyond 2020 18

bull LG Chem (Japan) to build 15 to 24 GWh (for 03 Mio EVs) in Poland beyond 2020 19

bull Samsung SDI (Japan) to build 10 to 15 GWh beyond 2020 in Hungary (including a 20

recent 5 GWh announcement for 21700 cells for Land Rover 21

bull SK Innovation (Japan) to build 75 GWh in Hungary beyond 2020 22

bull PanasonicTesla to build a (assumed 35GWh) Gigafactory in Europa around 2025 23

bull as well as from BYD (China) GS Yuasa (Japan) and Farasis (US) to build production 24

capacities between 2020 and 2025 25

26

The production capacities from Asian (or non-European) cell manufacturer might sum up to 27

well above 82-96 GWh by 2025 and including BYD GS Yuasa Farasis etc capacities far 28

above 100 GWh can be expected Together with the new EU cell producers this could easily 29

sum up towards the above mentioned 200 GWh demand in Europe But it also clearly indicates 30

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

44

the competition the emerging European players have to face (besides the fact that the plans 1

of the Asian companies are expected to be realized already several years earlier as those of 2

the novel EU companies) 3

2353 Product design trends and technological roadmap 4

Concerning the battery technology or type (by chemistry format etc) which will most likely 5

be produced to address this increasing demand the global roadmaps of cell producers are 6

basically similar Based on state-of-the art cell design (eg LFP NCA based ldquogeneration 1rdquo 7

and NMC111 to NMC532 ldquogeneration 2abrdquo Li-ion batteries) [52] and state-of-the-art 8

production equipment incremental improvements are expected in the next few years but with 9

the target to get to higher-energy lithium-ion batteries Concerning the electrolytes still liquid 10

electrolytes will be used but adopted to the changing electrode materials (eg with additives) 11

Current trends for layered oxide cathodes describe the development of Ni-rich (Co reduced) 12

materials (NMC) A few cell producers are already using NMC811 or comparable cathode 13

materials others are still adopting NMC622 (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3ardquo) On cathode 14

side maybe even lower-cost Mn-rich High Energy NMCs (HE-NMC) might be realized and 15

produced within ~10 years as Mn is cheaper than Ni (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3brdquo) On 16

anode side the trend is to incorporate Si-nano particles to make use of the alloying reaction 17

between Si and Li yielding a high capacitance This however comes at the cost of cycle life 18

Further down the road we might see higher Si contents (~20) 19

20

All-solid-state batteries are on the roadmap of many battery producers but also OEM (also 21

referred to as ldquogeneration 4rdquo) The key performance parameters (KPI) are suitable for electric 22

mobility (EV) Main challenges are indeed manufacturability particularly for ceramic solid state 23

electrolytes which promise to yield the highest advantages over state of the art technologies 24

The market introduction in niche applications is expected possible prior to the use in 25

automotive applications First all-solid-state batteries might not be competitive in terms of 26

energy density but safety properties Later on energy densities of 350-400 Whkg and higher 27

are expected 28

Other technologies (not marked in blue in the above figure) feature certain USPs compared to 4

Li-ion batteries but (according to the current level of knowledge) do not reach the necessary 5

KPIs in terms of energy density power density and cycling stability necessary for electric 6

mobility (these are marked in grey) USPs of these technologies can be cost resource 7

availability either volumetric or gravimetric energy density or others But often even 8

fundamental challenges are not solved yet (eg concerning the stability of materials and 9

electrochemical systems kinetics etc) 10

24 Consumer expenditure base data 2

241 General objective of subtask 24 and approach 3

Subtask 24 gives an overview about average production costs and consumer prices incl 4

VAT (for consumer prices streetprice) excl VAT (for B2B products) as well as an estimation 5

of repair and maintenance as well as installation and disposal costs 6

Due to their recent larger scale market introduction there is still little experience with 7

maintenance as well as disposal expenses Hence only estimations can be made based on 8

isolated sources 9

242 Development of LIB cell costs 10

As the core of LIB based energy storage systems the battery cell exhibits the highest cost 11

share During the last years particularly standardized 18650 format LIB cells have 12

experienced a steep cost learning curve benefiting from production scale effects but also 13

from technological advancements on material level increasing the energy density per volume 14

and weight and decreasing the amount of cost intense Cobalt-based components Compared 15

to this benchmark larger format LIB cells (Pouch prismatic) as are utilized in xEVs and ESS 16

predominantly feature lower energy densities at higher cost per kWh There are however no 17

principal limitations which would prevent a performance and cost development similar to what 18

was observed for cylindrical cells Figure 39 shows the cost learning curves for cylindrical as 19

well as larger format LIB cells [33] Today average costs for cells suitable for automotive use 20

are below 150 eurokWh (cylindrical) and around 200 eurokWh (Pouchprismatic) In specific cases 21

prices around 100 eurokWh have been reported already [53] It should however be noted that 22

with the current market situation LIB prices being below costs are not unlikely to occur 23

Until 2025 production costs of the different cell formats are expected to approach and fall 24

below the mark of 100 eurokWh between 2020 and 2025 Taking further developments on 25

material level into account costs around 60-100 eurokWh seam feasible past 2025 26

Figure 39 Cost learning curves for large LIB cells (cylindrical and Pouchprismatic) [33] 3

Similar cost learning curves have been observed for other battery technologies (see Figure 4

40) In principal cost degression can be limited by demand (compare NiCd) or by reaching 5

material cost limits (compare Pb) Also the diffusion of battery technologies in new markets 6

or applications can lead to further technological improvements and justify higher production 7

costs (compare deviation of NiMH Pb) Following the available data for LIB cells approx 100 8

$kWh (~89 eurokWh) are reached at a cumulative yearly production of 1TWh This mark is 9

expected to be reached between 2020 and 2030 10

Beyond 2030 LIB production costs are however expected to start deviating from this curve 11

due to limiting raw material prices 12

2432 ESS 7

According to recent end-customer price data provided in [55] for 2018 typical consumer prices 8

for small scale (~10 kWh) stationary home storage systems are between 5000 and 15000 9

Euros leading to a relative price of 800 to 1200 eurokWh It is expected that these system prices 10

will benefit from the growing battery markets (also xEV) since similar LIB cell types can be 11

applied in both application areas With respect to inverters and other system related costs the 12

smaller market volume of home ESS indicates lower economy of scale effects as compared 13

to cells 14

So far no comprehensive information on repair and maintenance costs for the battery system 17

2451 Second life and recycling considerations 6

Until today only pilot projects Strategy of automotive OEM regarding second life applications 7

is not known 8

Value of recycled materials can be estimated 9

Three main scenarios possible after end of 1st life (xEV) 10

1 Disposal of batteries (eg separation of liquid and solid components hazardous waste 11

disposal) 12

2 Recycling of batteries and direct regeneration and re-use of cathode materials (2a) or 13

recovery of metals (2b) 14

3 2nd life in ESS applications under limited load (low DOD cycling low power) 15

16

Scenario 1 will add another component to battery costs scenario 2 and 3 could significantly 17

decrease the cost of batteries if energy efficient recycling methods can be developed or viable 18

2nd life business models are established 19

26 Annex 1

2611 Modelling of addressable markets for electric applications 2

Vehicle markets (in units of registrations in the EU28 per year) and ESS markets (in units of 3

number of installed home PV systems or in units of overall renewable (PV wind) electricity 4

generation in the EU28 per year) were modelled by exponential functions 5

119872119905119886119901119901(119905) = 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 6

With Mtapp(t) being the total market volume of an application M0 the market size in 2015 and 7

120591 times 119871119899(2) the time t necessary to double the initial market volume M0 M0 and Tau were chosen 8

to fit existing market data 9

119872119886119901119901(119905) = 119888 times 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 10

With Mapp(t) being the addressable market and c a factor equal or smaller than 1 Parameter 11

c lt 1 was chosen to take into account that not the whole existing market Mtapp might be 12

addressable by electric technologies Eg a share of vehicles primarily used for long distance 13

travel might not be addressable by BEV but by PHEV only 14

The market addressable for passenger PHEV (as a transition technology on the path to full 15

electric vehicles) was modelled as the difference of total vehicle sales and BEV sales 16

119872119875119867119864119881(119905) = 119888 times 119872119905119901119886119904119904119890119899119892119890119903(119905) minus 119878119861119864119881(119905) 17

The market addressable for passenger BEV was modelled like Mapp(t) with c lt 1 18

2612 Modelling of sales numbers of xEV and ESS 19

Yearly sales numbers Sapp(t) for the different applications were modelled by logistic growth 20

functions Logistic functions can model diffusion of technologies into existing markets with a 21

given market volume M The market volume can be a moving target M = M(t) The relative 22

change of sales numbers Srsquoapp(t)Sapp(t) is proportional to the market volume not yet 23

developed by a technology Mapp(t) ndash Sapp(t) 24

119878119886119901119901(119905) = 119872119886119901119901(119905) times1

1 + 119864119909119901(minus119872119886119901119901(119905) times (119905 minus 1199050)120591)(119872119886119901119901(119905)

119878119886119901119901(1199050)minus 1)

25

With Tau being a time constant and Sapp(t0) being the yearly sales number at year t0 (eg 26

2015) 27

Short time constants Tau of few years were used to model ESS sales Due to limitations of 28

the existing electricity grid to only buffer a certain share of fluctuating PV and wind generated 29

electricity the further expansion of renewable electricity generation might be strongly coupled 30

to ESS installations Hence ESS sales were modelled to closely follow the assumed 31

installations of renewable power in the limit of ldquovery fastrdquo market diffusion (120591 rarr 0) 32

2613 Modelling of battery system capacities 33

Battery capacities EBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws In 34

particular BEV battery capacities increased in the last years from 30 kWh in 2013 to more than 35

40 kWh in 2018 (EU sales and production averages) In the long term we expect BEV 36

capacities to converge towards a value sufficient to provide average driving ranges of some 37

100 km Battery capacity growth rates are hence supposed to slow down 38

119864119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198640 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 1

With E0 being the average battery capacity in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years and 2

b an exponent lt 1 The parameters were chosen to fit existing data 3

2614 Modelling of battery replacement rates 4

Battery replacement rates RrBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws 5

The replacement rate defines the share of batteries installed in year t that had to be replaced 6

within the lifetime of a system (xEV ESS) In particular for vehicles it is assumed that xEV 7

manufacturers currently install battery cells with a high lifetime and cyclability (several 8

thousand cycles) In the mid-term we expect that battery life and vehicle life (eg 200000 to 9

300000 km) will be matched by car manufacturers Assuming a constant vehicle lifetime 10

battery replacement rates are supposed to increase over time 11

119877119903119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198770 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 12

With R0 being the average replacement rate in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years 13

and b an exponent lt 1 At present there is no data available to fit the parameters Parameters 14

were estimated based on the usage profile and load of different applications 15

2615 Modelling of system lifetimes (xEV ESS) 16

System lifetimes Ltsystem(t) were assumed to be constant Ltsystem(t)= Ltsystem Parameters were 17

estimated based on manufacturer statements and typical lifetimes for combustion powered 18

vehicles 19

2616 Calculation of battery replacements 20

Battery replacements RpBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 21

calculated by assuming a uniform distribution of battery replacements over the lifetime 22

Ltsystem(i) of battery systems installed in year i 23

2617 Calculation of battery decommissions 25

Battery decommissions DcBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 26

assumed to happen coincident with the end of life of the systems (Ltsystem) they were installed 27

in in year i This neglects any second life usage in t gt i It was assumed that xEV or ESS 28

manufacturers will tune the battery lifetime to match the system lifetime (see 2614) 29

The yearly installed battery capacity Sbapp(t) in the EU28 was calculated as 32

like the battery management system however there are categories including components 4

which are likely to be applied in the power electronics or BMS of battery packs and systems 5

Figure 1 shows the development of production import and export volumes in Euro for 19

PRODCOM category 27202300 in the time from 1995 to 2017 The data shows an increase 20

of market volume in all three categories Since several battery technologies are aggregated in 21

this PRODCOM category values specific for LIB cannot obtained from this data Due to the 22

development of the different battery technologies it is likely that the market values in the 1990s 23

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

and early 2000s can mainly be attributed to NiMH NiCd and other technologies The growth 1

experienced since 2010 in all three market categories is likely to be a result of the development 2

in the LIB market which can be considered to be the dominant submarket under the battery 3

technologies aggregated under 27202300 today (see and compare section 233 with a global 4

analysis of different battery technologies) 5

Figure 1 EU production import and export summarized in PRODCOM category 27202300 7

Nickel-cadmium nickel metal hydride lithium-ion lithium polymer nickel-iron and other 8

electric accumulators [2] 9

Note that no production volumes in terms of units or kWh are available from Eurostat 10

The value of batteries integrated into applications or sold as end products in Europe can be 11

assessed by considering the EU consumption value (EU sales and trade) which results from 12

the sum of production and import minus export values (see Figure 2) After a plateau like 13

market behavior between 2000 and 2010 a steep increase of the EU consumption value can 14

be observed The 2017 value adds up to about 4 billion Euro Assuming that the majority share 15

of this value can be attributed to LIB with a market price of 300 to 500 eurokWh (Mix of higher 16

priced consumer cells and lower priced automotive cells) the value corresponds to a capacity 17

of 8 to 13 GWh In consideration of its estimated character this number is in accordance with 18

the data presented in section 224 (based on a bottom up estimation of the capacity demand 19

by passenger xEV and home storage ESS markets 3C markets are not considered) 20

Figure 2 EU sales and trade (PROD+IMP-EXP) summarized in PRODCOM category 3

27202300 Nickel-cadmium nickel metal hydride lithium-ion lithium polymer nickel-iron and 4

other electric accumulators [2] 5

Hence it can be assumed that the data presented in the PRODCOM database meets the right 6

magnitude Due to the aggregation of battery technologies the consumption value of LIB alone 7

can however not be assessed by this data Furthermore the large price spread for LIB and 8

the dynamic development of prices does not allow to reliably conclude on the demand of 9

battery capacity (GWh) An assessment of market development and installed LIB stock in 10

Europe is given in section 22 and 23 based on other data sources 11

2122 Circuit breakers as an example for BMS electronics 12

LIB cells as gathered in category 27202300 are only one of the subunits of battery systems 13

Housing protection cooling electrical and electronic components are supposedly measured 14

in different PRODCOM categories 15

Figure 3 Figure 4 Figure 5 and Figure 6 show production import export and EU sales and 16

trade data for automatic circuit breakers as potential component of BMS EU consumption 17

values do not show a clear upward trend comparable to the values for battery technologies 18

Although an increase of export and import values can be observed no clear correlation with 19

the production of battery systems for xEV or stationary storage in Europe can be observed 20

We conclude that the analysis of individual storage system related PRODCOM categories 21

does not allow to assess the market development for complete battery systems 22

The objective is to compile market and stock data in physical units for the EU for each of the 11

product categories defined in Task 11 and for the stock (1990-2015) combined with a forecast 12

2020-2050 Therefore the following parameters need to be identified 13

for xEV battery systems for ESS) and corresponding battery capacity (MWh or GWh) 2

bull Replacement cycles and life time data This data is assumed to be strongly application 3

depending At present there is no comprehensive data available 4

2211 Useful data sources 5

Several market studies describing the present and future market situation for battery-based 6

applications exist Most of these studies have a global scope or focus on Asian countries due 7

to the structure of the battery market Comprehensive studies providing market data for the 8

EU and its member states are not known 9

To give an overview about stock and battery markets for the EU28 member states the 10

following bottom-up sources were utilized to give model estimations 11

bull Fraunhofer ISI in-house xEV database [3] The database has been developed in 2014 12

by Fraunhofer ISI and is updated since on an annual basis The last update was done 13

in November 2018 It covers global production and sales numbers for xEV models 14

broken down to countries as well as information on battery capacity and range of the 15

vehicles The database aggregates information provided by Marklines Co Ltd [4] the 16

European Alternative Fuels Observatory [5] the ev-sales blog [6] and other online 17

sources 18

bull Fraunhofer ISI in-house LIB database [7] The database covers information on the 19

major industrial players in the Li-ion business from materials to cell production The 20

development and location of production capacities is frequently updated Information 21

on performance and cost of commercially available battery cells as well as the meta 22

analysis of several studies providing forecasts on the respective developments are 23

also covered in the database Information is collected from several online sources and 24

available product data sheets 25

bull B3 corporation market studies B3 corporation provides topical market studies on xEV 26

ESS and material markets for Li-ion batteries The market data is updated on an 27

annual basis B3 studies have a global scope but occasionally also cover local 28

European markets 29

bull Additional market studies and databases as discussed in the following sections 30

222 Market stock and forecast for xEVs in Europe 31

As will be shown in section 23 the stock of installed medium or large-sized batteries in Europe 32

is strongly related to the diffusion of electric mobility In contrast to several Asian countries 33

xEV sales in Europe predominantly concern passenger cars Ebuses as well as light and 34

heavy commercial vehicles still do not play a major role in terms of installed capacity At 35

present the average energy content of a BEV passenger electric vehicle battery is higher than 36

40 kWh Small vehicles like the Renault Twizy feature a capacity of less than 10 kWh while 37

the models with highest capacity sold in EU28 countries approach the 100 kWh mark (Jaguar 38

iPace and Tesla Model X 90 kWh Tesla Model 3 73 kWh) The amount of battery capacity 39

installed in passenger PHEVs is about 10 kWh and has remained on a constant level over the 40

last years (see Figure 7) 41

2221 Production and sales of BEV 4

Figure 8 shows the number of produced BEVs [3] broken down to the production country from 5

2010 to 2018 A forecast until 2020 based on the average growth rates between 2016 and 6

2018 is shown in addition This production data is a measure for the demand of battery cells 7

in the individual EU28 countries 8

Germany France and the Netherlands lead the field of BEV producers in Europe On 9

European level an average yearly growth rate of over 40 can be observed It is expected 10

that the number of 150000 produced BEVs in 2018 will double in 2020 11

12

Figure 8 Production numbers for BEVs produced in EU28 countries and forecast until 2020 13

[3] 14

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

13

In contrast to the production data the sales numbers for BEV reflect the amount of installed 1

vehicle batteries in the individual EU28 countries It can be seen in Figure 9 that the proportion 2

among the EU28 countries in terms of sold vehicles is much more even as compared to the 3

production Germany France the United Kingdom and the Netherlands lead the market 4

however significant sales numbers can also be found in other countries The level and growth 5

rates of BEV sales is comparable to BEV production It should however be noted that there is 6

significant trade with other regions of the world eg BEV imports from KR (Hyundai) and JP 7

(Mitsubishi Nissan) and exports to North America (BMW Volkswagen) Hence the BEV 8

market can not be considered to be an internal market 9

10

Figure 9 Number of sold BEVs in EU28 member states and forecast until 2020 [3] 11

2222 Production and sales of PHEV 12

Similar to section 2221 production and sales numbers for PHEV resolved by country are 13

shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11 Although on a comparable level in terms of produced and 14

sold vehicles it must be emphasized that the contribution of PHEVs to the demand for battery 15

capacity is due to the smaller size of the battery much less than the demand generated by 16

BEVs At present the main production sites for PHEVs are located in Germany Due to 17

production sites for Audi (VW) and Volvo PHEVs Sweden and Slovakia also significantly 18

contribute to the production 19

2223 Forecast xEV sales and stock EU28 9

The data presented in sections 2221 and 2222 was used as an input for a forecast model 10

on passenger PHEV and BEV as well as light and heavy commercial xEVs (see also [8] and 11

section 26) 12

It was assumed that extrapolated EU wide sales numbers and growth rates for passenger as 13

well as light vehicles [9] represent natural boundaries for the growth of xEV markets Logistic 14

growth functions (see setion 26) were used to model market diffusion Passenger BEV were 15

assumed to replace 75 of all passenger car sales in the long term Passenger PHEV were 16

assumed to be an initially faster growing transition technology which will partially be replaced 1

by BEV in the long term A passenger xEV lifetime of 12 years with battery replacement rates 2

of 15 per lifetime were assumed For commercial vehicles a lifetime of 9 years and 3

replacement rate of 25 and a lifetime of 12 years and battery replacement rate of 80 were 4

assumed for light and heavy vehicles respectively The assumption for the market model is 5

223 Market stock and forecast for ESS in Europe 3

As discussed in Task 1 several stationary applications for batteries exist ranging from grid 4

support to home storage As will be shown in section 23 the demand for battery capacity 5

generated by ESS applications at present is rather small as compared to 3C and motive 6

markets There is no systematic registration of large scale or small scale stationary storage 7

systems in the EU Hence the market stock and volume for respective applications can only 8

be estimated based on indirect data 9

2231 Photovoltaic installations in the EU 10

Energy storage systems in combination with photovoltaic installations are one major 11

application for batteries both for private as well as commercial purposes Due to changes in 12

reimbursement and subsidy policy as well as the physical capability of the energy system to 13

buffer and process high shares of renewable energy the use of local energy storage systems 14

is becoming more and more popular There is no data on the share of PV installations 15

equipped with an energy storage system for the EU However on regional level some data is 16

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

20

available According to [10] approximately half of the PV systems with a peak power below 1

30 kW installed in Germany in 2017 have been equipped with an energy storage option 2

(amounting to about 30000 storage systems with a cumulative capacity of 400 MWh) 3

At present the installation of storage systems is strongly coupled to new installations of PV 4

systems As shown in Figure 16 with data on Germany the retrofit of existing PV installations 5

with storage systems is however expected to contribute significantly to the demand for battery 6

capacity in the PV segment in the future Within the forecast shown 50 of the sold storage 7

systems might be integrated into already existing PV-systems in 2030 8

Figure 16 PV installations and retrofit of existing PV installations in Germany Data and image 10

taken from [11] 11

Figure 17 shows the yearly installed PV power (MW) in the EU28 [12] A boom of PV 12

installations can clearly be observed for the years 2010 to 2012 mainly driven by installations 13

in Germany and Italy Likely as a result of changing subsidy policies the yearly installed PV 14

power has since then steadily decreased in both countries On the other hand a steady 15

increase in installations can be observed for the Netherlands and the UK In the forecast model 16

applied in [12] a slight increase in new installations is expected until 2021 driven by 17

installations in the UK and Portugal as well as member countries which so far do not have 18

any considerable PV installations Due to decreasing costs for solar panels and rather stable 19

remuneration rates this upward trend seems to be justified 20

Figure 17 PV installations in EU28 countries and forecast until 2020 Data taken from [12] 2

Based on the data given in [10] for Germany 80 of the installed PV systems can be attributed 3

to small or medium sized installations (average of 10 kWp) directly feeding into the low-voltage 4

grid In terms of power these systems amount to about 30 of the installations If equipped 5

with an energy storage system the average battery capacity amounts to 8 to 10 kWh [13] 6

Concerning installations in Europe it can be argued that there is a trend towards smaller roof-7

top systems for more densely populated and less sunny regions while in particular in the 8

southern European countries larger solar parks are favored Since no comprehensive data 9

covering the whole EU is available only a rough estimation for the demand of battery storage 10

systems and capacity can be made 11

Assuming that the number of smaller roof-top installations (30 of power) as well as the 12

number of systems equipped with an ESS (50 of installations lt 30 kWp) is above average 13

for Germany as compared to the rest of the EU the market data and forecasts given in [12] 14

and [11] would lead to a demand for battery capacity as summarized in Table 5 15

Similar to section 2231 for PV installations Figure 18 shows data and forecasts for wind 6

turbine power installations in the EU28 [12] In contrast to PV installations wind turbine power 7

is almost exclusively attributed to larger scale wind parks We conclude that the use of small 8

scale ESS for the optimization of private energy consumption is therefore not driven by wind 9

power installations 10

Still the ongoing installation of wind turbine power in the EU28 might become a driver for large 11

scale decentralized energy storage systems however there is no market data available which 12

would allow for a battery demand forecast 13

2234 Forecast ESS sales and stock EU28 2

The data presented in sections 2231 2232 and 2233 was used as an input for a forecast 3

model on large scale and home ESS 4

EU wide sales numbers and growth rates for PV coupled home storage systems were 5

extrapolated with declining growth rates for 2035 and beyond With respect to large scale ESS 6

it was assumed that the generation of electricity by renewable sources exceeding 17 (2015 7

value [15]) of the total electricity generation necessitates a certain amount of ESS buffer 8

capacity EU 2020 and 2030 targets [16 17] for the share of renewable electricity generation 9

were used as a forecast model The buffer capacity demand was estimated to be 70 of the 10

daily electrical energy generated by renewables exceeding the share of 17 11

A lifetime of 20 years with a replacement rate of 10 was assumed for home ESS and a 12

lifetime of 20 years with a battery replacement rate of 80 within this lifetime was assumed 13

for large scale ESS System capacities were modelled by a power law based on present-day 14

values The assumptions for the market model are summarized in Table 7 and Table 8 and 15

shall be subject to discussion during the stakeholder meeting 16

224 Summary of the market sales forecast and estimation of the future 1

and past stock 2

As shown in sections 222 and 223 several drivers exist for the application of battery storage 3

systems in stationary and motive applications While the demand for battery capacity 4

generated by BEV and PHEV passenger cars was on the level of several GWh for 2017 the 5

ESS markets might still be below the 1 GWh mark in the EU 6

With respect to the increase of average battery capacity installed in different applications (see 7

Figure 22) and the growth rates for the sales of xEV and ESS (see sections 2223 and 8

2232) forecasts for the total new installations (including replacements) of batteries in the 9

EU28 are shown in Figure 23 See annex for further comments 10

11

Figure 22 Average system battery energy (kWh or MWh) forecast 12

23 Market trends 3

231 General objective of subtask 23 and approach 4

The following chapter provides a comprehensive market overview on global battery sales 5

demand and players Starting with the market development of Lithium-ion batteries between 6

2010 to 2017 scenarios until 2025 to 2030 are presented including a meta-analysis of several 7

most recent market reports (eg [18ndash27]) Step by step the regional markets and markets by 8

applications will be specified 9

232 Market drivers and CO2 legislation [28] 10

Climate and energy policies are main drivers for the energy future and are expected to lead to 11

an increasing demand for energy storage in the mid and long term (see Figure 24) According 12

to the European Unionacutes decarbonization objective a reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) 13

emissions to 80 ndash 95 below 1990 levels should be achieved by 2050 14

In particular for the transport sector no full decarbonization is achieved [29] even in the longer 15

term (other sectors have to compensate with higher GHG reductions) The overall reduction 16

achieved in the transport sector by 2050 is only around 60 below 1990 levels The 17

increasing trend in emissions seen over the past 20 years is expected to reverse by the CO2 18

legislation From 2020 on the fleet average to be achieved by all new cars is 95 grams of CO2 19

per kilometer (compared to 130 gkm in 2015) 20

Many other governments world-wide have specified CO2 emission targets and are striving 21

towards a low carbon economy Particularly in the field of passenger and commercial vehicles 22

fuel consumption and emission targets have been installed which significantly drive the 23

introduction of battery or fuel cell powered electric vehicles Among these emission policies 24

the targets set by the EU are among the most ambitious (see Table 11) Meeting them will 25

require a significant share of electric vehicles 26

Table 11 Overview about fuel consumption and CO2-emission targets for passenger vehicles 1

of the EU and other countries leading battery and electric mobility markets [30] 2

In this context electric mobility is gaining importance since electric vehicles especially plug-3

in hybrid and pure battery electric vehicles can help to achieve or fulfill these limits due to 4

improved CO2 footprints compared to conventional cars However for low CO2 footprints over 5

the lifetime of electric cars a high share of ldquolow carbonrdquo renewable energy sources (RES) in 6

the energy mix is needed and important (Figure 24 left side) 7

8

Figure 24 Climate and energy policies as drivers for future energy storage demand [28] 9

The EU Energy Roadmap 2050 [31 32] has shown across six scenarios that the 10

decarbonization goal can be achieved if the share of renewable energy sources (RES) among 11

the power generation capacity is high (gt 60 until 2050) for all scenarios Especially for the 12

high RES scenario the share of fluctuating energy generation (wind photovoltaic ndash PV) is the 13

strongest which has to be balanced Grid expansion andor flexibilization measures (eg 14

demand side management power to gas and vehicle to grid besides stationary battery 15

storage) are potential solutions Thus the high RES scenario is the most interesting scenario 16

with respect to a potential future demand for energy storage solutions (ESS) on local 17

distribution and transmission grid levels (Figure 24 right side) In order to have a significant 18

GHG reduction with EVs it will also be important to achieve the RES targets 19

233 The developing battery market 1

The total annual battery market is currently on the level of 45-60 billion Euro representing 2

approximately 400-500 GWh (including Lead-acid Lithium-Ion and other batteries) [33] 3

Lithium-ion batteries (LIB) have succeeded because of their high gravimetric and volumetric 4

energy densities and have a market share of about a third in terms of value among the whole 5

battery market The growth is driven by the decreasing cell costs of less than 170 eurokWh for a 6

standard cylindrical cell (lowest prices) approaching the 90 eurokWh mark in the next years This 7

cost degression is due to increasing capacity demand and production and thus due to scale 8

effects 9

Although the LIB market is drastically growing with annual growth rates of up to 30 percent 10

on average (in terms of battery capacity demand) the dominating battery technology in terms 11

of capacity however are still lead-acid batteries representing about 90 percent of the global 12

demand in volume around 2010 and 80 percent in 2017 13

14

15

Figure 25 Historical development of the global battery demand in GWh (left axis for NiCd 16

NiMH right axis for all other battery types grey total battery demand) [34] 17

Other mature battery technologies like NiCd (still partly used in power tools) and NiMH (still 18

used in hybrid electric vehicles HEV) are slowly declining and are expected to disappear from 19

the market in the next decade The diversification of future battery applications however will 20

also broaden the range of battery technologies Emerging technologies like Na-based Metal-21

Sulfur or Redox Flow batteries are developing and may lead to attractive solutions eg with 22

respect to cost and resource availability advantages However due to very strict requirements 23

on volumetric energy densities these technologies are expected to be relevant for stationary 24

or other special markets and less for the most significant electric vehicle market In general 25

each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses and none of them can satisfy all user 26

demands Hence a broader application-specific technology portfolio is urgently needed in 27

order to provide alternative technology solutions in the future 28

The extremely dynamic development of the global LIB demand will lead to the TWh level latest 29

around 2030 and grow further after 2030 Thus LIB will very soon transform into the 30

dominating energy storage technology 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

34

Figure 26 shows three different scenarios for the global demand for LIB between 2010 and 1

2030 (green curves) along with global production capacities (orange and blue curve)[33] 2

While at the beginning of the decade the demand and sales numbers followed the medium 3

growth rate trend scenario the market has been approaching the high growth rate scenario in 4

the last years This is mainly due to the strong engagement of politics and respective 5

regulation and subsidy programs for electric mobility As can be seen from the graph the 6

share of demand generated by motive applications is expected to significantly grow in the next 7

years and might account for more than one third of the total LIB demand by 2025 8

To face this increasing demand for LIB cells accordingly production capacities need to be 9

build up in the near future Based on the currently existing cell production capacities and the 10

global announcements from established and new cell producers until 2025 the LIB cell 11

production capacities (blue line in 12

Figure 26) have been identified Compared to 15 GWh added production capacity between 13

2013 and 2016 in the next years around 50 GWh will be added annually leading to around 14

700 GWh production capacities until 2025 (in the optimistic case see blue line in 15

Figure 26) The announcements include established players such as Panasonic (JP) LG 16

Chem (KR) Samsung (KR) SKI (KR) BYD (CN) Lishen (CN) CATL (CN) CALB (CN) 17

OPTIMUM (CN) and several further Chinese cell producers Also new players such as TerraE 18

(DE) Northvolt (SW) Boston Energy (US AU) Energy Absolute (Thailand) are included 19

while accounting for the different stages of expansion [20 27] 20

21

234 Battery markets by application 23

Diversification of applications for batteries 24

The above described global developments of battery demand and production strongly concern 25

high-energy lithium-ion batteries with the cell chemistries NMC NCA (Ni-rich and Co-reduced 26

cathodes) and SiC (high capacity SiC anodes with 5-10 or higher Si content) and cell 27

formats cylindrical (eg larger 21700 compared to standard 18650) large pouch or prismatic 28

cells The target is to develop and produce cells with improved gravimetric and volumetric 29

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

35

energy densities and reduced costs in order to meet the requirements of the automotive 1

industry Electric passenger cars are driving the demand and thus development of the battery 2

technology and these optimized and cost reduced batteries define the benchmark today and 3

in the future 4

LIB demand by applications 5

In Figure 27 the global LIB demand is broken down to the three main sectors for battery 6

demand which can be characterised each having different profiles of requirement 7

bull electric mobility or electric vehicles (EV including eg passenger cars light 8

commercial vehicles buses trucks scooters ebikes etc) 9

bull stationary energy storage systems (ESS) and 10

bull portable devices (3C ndash Computer Communication Consumer) 11

The LIB cell demand developed to almost 25 GWh in 2010 since the market introduction in 12

the early 1990s and dominantly resulted from portable devices In 2015 the cell demand of 13

about 70 GWh was distributed already almost 5050 between 3C and EV applications 14

15

Figure 27 Global LIB demand (in GWh and share in ) by segment [34] 16

Since 2015 the global LIB demand has increased with compound annual growth rates 17

(CAGR) of ~25 from about 70 GWh to about 110 GWh in 2017 The market for electric 18

vehicles currently grows with 30-40 (and more depending on the application and region) and 19

a diversification in applications (eg buses trucks other light to heavy commercial vehicles 20

marine applications drones etc) can be observed 21

With the diversification of future markets and applications cost sensitive markets will arise for 22

which optimized high-energy and cost reduced automotive cells of certain cell formats will be 23

used However also applications with stronger requirements on long lifetime high cycleability 24

fast charging capability safety etc will emerge and diffuse where cost is not the most 25

relevant factor and other battery technologies (ie cell chemistries formats) can provide a 26

unique selling proposition and hence lead to a product differentiation 27

2341 LIB markets for 3C applications 28

Portable devices (3C) have been the main applications for LIB cells in the past Power tools 29

medical devices and wearables are expected to be products with an emerging future market 30

for small LIB cells but with enormous quantities The price per kWh that can be stored plays a 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

36

less important role for these applications As far as charging is concerned technologies such 1

as energy harvesting and wireless charging are expected to be introduced in the future For 2

many markets and products such as household devices garden cleaning power tools other 3

mobile leisure applications etc today mostly cylindrical LIB cells of the format 18650 are used 4

With the introduction of 21700 cells also larger cylindrical cells become available now and are 5

expected to be used in diffuse in such applications Although different specific cell chemistries 6

might be suitable depending on the concrete application again it can be stated that the 3C 7

segment is expected to lead to a comparably small battery capacity demand compared to the 8

EV segment and will not be the limiting segment with respect to the risk of resource 9

dependencies 10

In the next few years growth rates of about 5 to 10 percent are expected for the 3C markets 11

while laptop battery demand is developing at lower growth rates and power tools medical 12

devices etc are supporting the growth rates for the battery demand 13

14

15

Figure 28 Demand and growth of the 3C LIB market [34] 16

2342 LIB markets for stationary (ESS) applications 17

Stationary energy storage systems (ESS) can be divided into different size classes with regard 18

to the capacity and charging times Both together decide on the application area (eg small 19

PV storage at home peak load to long-term storage) [35] Beyond that the price per kWh put 20

through over the lifetime is the economic key factor (as synthesized by the LCOE levelized 21

cost of energy) In contrast gravimetric and volumetric energy density plays a subordinate 22

role Due to that lead-acid batteries were often used as storage technology for off- and on-23

grid storage Currently LIBs are being established for commercial use and meanwhile reach 24

an annual demand of some few GWh Other electrochemical storage technologies such as 25

sodium-sulfur batteries are still used but the demand for LIB is strongly increasing for ESS It 26

is expected that 2nd life concepts for batteries that had their first life in electric vehicles will 27

gain importance together with market diffusion in the EV segment as the requirements on the 28

batteries are less demanding in the ESS segment This however will require the development 29

of according business models standardization etc The much broader available technology 30

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

37

portfolio for ESS applications the use of 2nd life batteries and the fact that electric vehicle 1

batteries that are connected to the grid on a large scale with higher market diffusion can be 2

regarded as stationary storage systems as well (vehicle to grid V2G grid to vehicle G2V) help 3

to reduce the risk of technological and resource dependencies in the future 4

The market for stationary storage applications (ESS) is experiencing growth rates of 20 to 30 5

percent depending on individual market forecasts (in the last years CAGR have even been on 6

the level of 60 but decrease with increasing size of the market see Figure 29) 7

The market is currently on a level of few GWh including applications from smaller PV storage 8

systems of 5-10 kWh to larger industrial and grid connected installations for own power 9

consumption peak shaving etc on the MWh level Regarding these growth rates LIB for ESS 10

applications rapidly gain importance as de-central storage solutions compared to the currently 11

dominating central pumped hydro storage (PHS) Forecasts to 2025 differ by size and expect 12

an ESS LIB demand between 20-50 GWh (partially higher eg in [23]) but all forecasts identify 13

high growth rates 14

15

Figure 29 Demand and growth of the ESS LIB market [34] 16

17

2343 LIB markets for electric vehicle applications 18

One of the biggest challenges for batteries for electric vehicles (EV including electric cars 19

buses trucks etc) apart from their price is the increase of their volumetric and gravimetric 20

energy density The volumetric energy density is even more important for OEM due to 21

restricted and fixed space and location of the battery in an electric vehicle A very relevant 22

parameter of a battery is its charging and discharging power in particular in continuous 23

operation It determines the fast-charging capability which is an important argument in the 24

use and the establishment on the market At the same time this sets limits to the high-25

performance operation since energy consumption is reduced to protect the battery from 26

damage This illustrates the conflicting effect of different parameters on the battery lifetime 27

Price volume weight and thus charge density as well as chargedischarge rate in terms of 28

usage and durability are the most urgent challenges for battery manufacturers 29

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

38

The market for EV batteries is currently at the level of about 50 GWh (including electric 1

passenger cars busses trucks ebikes scooter forklifts etc) Growth rates are at 20 to 40 2

percent and the demand for EV batteries will lead to a share of about 66 percent in 2020 76 3

percent until 2025 and 80 percent or higher in the long term Electric passenger cars (BEV 4

and PHEV) define the by far largest market within the EV segment and are clearly driving the 5

technology development of high energy Lithium-Ion or Lithium-based batteries in the future 6

7

Figure 30 Demand and growth of the EV LIB market [34] 8

9

Other motive (or stationary or portable) markets applications besides the highly competitive 10

electric passenger cars therefore can offer interesting growth markets also for smaller cell 11

producers beyond the large Japanese Korean and Chinese cell producers These markets or 12

applications very often define concrete requirements for the battery performance they require 13

an in depth understanding and design from the cell chemistry format to the modulepack and 14

system integration and they still vary strongly by region and are connected to individual system 15

integrators or OEM This is because each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses 16

and none of them can satisfy all userapplication demands Hence a broader application 17

specific technology portfolio is even urgently needed in order to provide alternative individual 18

technology solutions for these emerging marketsapplications 19

235 Market channels and production structure 21

2351 Global production capacities and major players 22

Since their commercialization in the 1990s LIB have been predominantly produced by 23

Japanese and Korean companies Driven by the Chinese government particularly cell 24

producers but also companies covering other steps of the LIB value creation chain have been 25

established in China Due to a policy of simultaneous support for LIB production as well as for 26

application markets and due to an extensive subsidy scheme a large share of LIB production 27

capacities is located in China today 28

Figure 31 Figure 32 Figure 33 and Figure 34 show the global LIB production capacities of 29

major cell producers in 2018 as well as forecasts for 2020 2025 and 2030 respectively [36] 30

The data is based on announcements made by the cell producers As discussed in section 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

39

233 the actual time-frame for the implementation of the capacity expansions is often delayed 1

with respect to the original announcements Hence minimum and maximum values for the 2

production capacities are given 3

Figure 34 Global LIB production capacities of major cell producers in 2030 [36] 2

Until 2030 the announced production capacities add up to more than 1 TWh In total there 3

are about 30 cell producers which have announced to build up production capacities of more 4

than 10 GWhyear which can be considered to be a threshold in order to be able to produce 5

at competitve costs [36] If the announced capacities are fully utilized the ldquobig 4rdquo (Panasonic 6

CATL LGC and BYD) will be able to fully cover the market demand (gt550 GWh) until 2025 7

2352 Europes position in the global battery value chain 8

In the EU several actors are positioned which cover production steps along the whole value 9

chain of LIBs starting from raw material production to production of cells and systems and 10

finally recycling However with respect to global markets only few organizations within the EU 11

have a market share of more than 1 in their specific segment eg BASF Germany in the 12

field of electrolyte production [30] 13

An overview about existing and active companies is given by the European Battery Alliance 14

(see Figure 35) Due to the presence of strong automotive OEM LIB pack manufacturing and 15

system integration is taking place on large scale in Europe A particular gap in the value chain 16

is present due to the lack of a large-scale cell production capable of serving the volumes and 17

prices required by the automotive industry 18

Several consortia are currently attempting to build up a European large scale cell 4

manufacturing such as Nothvolt (Sweden) with 32 GWh until 2023 or Saft (together with 5

Siemens and Manz) [39] Recently the German government announced plans for funding of 6

a Batterie-Cell-Alliance between Germany and Poland with cell production capacities in the 7

Regions Lausitz (Germany) and Westpoland [40 41] At the cross section between RampD and 8

large-scale production also a Research Production with 600 Mio EUR funding is foreseen 9

whereas the Fraunhofer Society should coordinate and run such a research production [42] 10

The announced funding from the German government sums up to 2 bn EUR 11

Given all these announced investments and production capacities to build up in the next years 12

the cell production capacities of European cell manufacturers could sum up to over 40 GWh 13

beyond 2025 In contrast main Asian cell manufacturer have already started with cell 14

production (eg LG SDI) or plan to build up production capacities until 2020 to 2025 In 15

concrete there are plans from [43ndash51] 16

17

bull CATL (China) to build 14 GWh in Germany Erfurt beyond 2020 18

bull LG Chem (Japan) to build 15 to 24 GWh (for 03 Mio EVs) in Poland beyond 2020 19

bull Samsung SDI (Japan) to build 10 to 15 GWh beyond 2020 in Hungary (including a 20

recent 5 GWh announcement for 21700 cells for Land Rover 21

bull SK Innovation (Japan) to build 75 GWh in Hungary beyond 2020 22

bull PanasonicTesla to build a (assumed 35GWh) Gigafactory in Europa around 2025 23

bull as well as from BYD (China) GS Yuasa (Japan) and Farasis (US) to build production 24

capacities between 2020 and 2025 25

26

The production capacities from Asian (or non-European) cell manufacturer might sum up to 27

well above 82-96 GWh by 2025 and including BYD GS Yuasa Farasis etc capacities far 28

above 100 GWh can be expected Together with the new EU cell producers this could easily 29

sum up towards the above mentioned 200 GWh demand in Europe But it also clearly indicates 30

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

44

the competition the emerging European players have to face (besides the fact that the plans 1

of the Asian companies are expected to be realized already several years earlier as those of 2

the novel EU companies) 3

2353 Product design trends and technological roadmap 4

Concerning the battery technology or type (by chemistry format etc) which will most likely 5

be produced to address this increasing demand the global roadmaps of cell producers are 6

basically similar Based on state-of-the art cell design (eg LFP NCA based ldquogeneration 1rdquo 7

and NMC111 to NMC532 ldquogeneration 2abrdquo Li-ion batteries) [52] and state-of-the-art 8

production equipment incremental improvements are expected in the next few years but with 9

the target to get to higher-energy lithium-ion batteries Concerning the electrolytes still liquid 10

electrolytes will be used but adopted to the changing electrode materials (eg with additives) 11

Current trends for layered oxide cathodes describe the development of Ni-rich (Co reduced) 12

materials (NMC) A few cell producers are already using NMC811 or comparable cathode 13

materials others are still adopting NMC622 (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3ardquo) On cathode 14

side maybe even lower-cost Mn-rich High Energy NMCs (HE-NMC) might be realized and 15

produced within ~10 years as Mn is cheaper than Ni (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3brdquo) On 16

anode side the trend is to incorporate Si-nano particles to make use of the alloying reaction 17

between Si and Li yielding a high capacitance This however comes at the cost of cycle life 18

Further down the road we might see higher Si contents (~20) 19

20

All-solid-state batteries are on the roadmap of many battery producers but also OEM (also 21

referred to as ldquogeneration 4rdquo) The key performance parameters (KPI) are suitable for electric 22

mobility (EV) Main challenges are indeed manufacturability particularly for ceramic solid state 23

electrolytes which promise to yield the highest advantages over state of the art technologies 24

The market introduction in niche applications is expected possible prior to the use in 25

automotive applications First all-solid-state batteries might not be competitive in terms of 26

energy density but safety properties Later on energy densities of 350-400 Whkg and higher 27

are expected 28

Other technologies (not marked in blue in the above figure) feature certain USPs compared to 4

Li-ion batteries but (according to the current level of knowledge) do not reach the necessary 5

KPIs in terms of energy density power density and cycling stability necessary for electric 6

mobility (these are marked in grey) USPs of these technologies can be cost resource 7

availability either volumetric or gravimetric energy density or others But often even 8

fundamental challenges are not solved yet (eg concerning the stability of materials and 9

electrochemical systems kinetics etc) 10

24 Consumer expenditure base data 2

241 General objective of subtask 24 and approach 3

Subtask 24 gives an overview about average production costs and consumer prices incl 4

VAT (for consumer prices streetprice) excl VAT (for B2B products) as well as an estimation 5

of repair and maintenance as well as installation and disposal costs 6

Due to their recent larger scale market introduction there is still little experience with 7

maintenance as well as disposal expenses Hence only estimations can be made based on 8

isolated sources 9

242 Development of LIB cell costs 10

As the core of LIB based energy storage systems the battery cell exhibits the highest cost 11

share During the last years particularly standardized 18650 format LIB cells have 12

experienced a steep cost learning curve benefiting from production scale effects but also 13

from technological advancements on material level increasing the energy density per volume 14

and weight and decreasing the amount of cost intense Cobalt-based components Compared 15

to this benchmark larger format LIB cells (Pouch prismatic) as are utilized in xEVs and ESS 16

predominantly feature lower energy densities at higher cost per kWh There are however no 17

principal limitations which would prevent a performance and cost development similar to what 18

was observed for cylindrical cells Figure 39 shows the cost learning curves for cylindrical as 19

well as larger format LIB cells [33] Today average costs for cells suitable for automotive use 20

are below 150 eurokWh (cylindrical) and around 200 eurokWh (Pouchprismatic) In specific cases 21

prices around 100 eurokWh have been reported already [53] It should however be noted that 22

with the current market situation LIB prices being below costs are not unlikely to occur 23

Until 2025 production costs of the different cell formats are expected to approach and fall 24

below the mark of 100 eurokWh between 2020 and 2025 Taking further developments on 25

material level into account costs around 60-100 eurokWh seam feasible past 2025 26

Figure 39 Cost learning curves for large LIB cells (cylindrical and Pouchprismatic) [33] 3

Similar cost learning curves have been observed for other battery technologies (see Figure 4

40) In principal cost degression can be limited by demand (compare NiCd) or by reaching 5

material cost limits (compare Pb) Also the diffusion of battery technologies in new markets 6

or applications can lead to further technological improvements and justify higher production 7

costs (compare deviation of NiMH Pb) Following the available data for LIB cells approx 100 8

$kWh (~89 eurokWh) are reached at a cumulative yearly production of 1TWh This mark is 9

expected to be reached between 2020 and 2030 10

Beyond 2030 LIB production costs are however expected to start deviating from this curve 11

due to limiting raw material prices 12

2432 ESS 7

According to recent end-customer price data provided in [55] for 2018 typical consumer prices 8

for small scale (~10 kWh) stationary home storage systems are between 5000 and 15000 9

Euros leading to a relative price of 800 to 1200 eurokWh It is expected that these system prices 10

will benefit from the growing battery markets (also xEV) since similar LIB cell types can be 11

applied in both application areas With respect to inverters and other system related costs the 12

smaller market volume of home ESS indicates lower economy of scale effects as compared 13

to cells 14

244 Installation repair and maintenance costs 15

2441 xEV 16

So far no comprehensive information on repair and maintenance costs for the battery system 17

of xEVs are available Due to still rather accommodating service policies repair or 18

replacement of batteries is so far often covered by the manufacturer 19

245 LIB life-cycle disposal and recycling considerations 4

Will be added in a later review 5

2451 Second life and recycling considerations 6

Until today only pilot projects Strategy of automotive OEM regarding second life applications 7

is not known 8

Value of recycled materials can be estimated 9

Three main scenarios possible after end of 1st life (xEV) 10

1 Disposal of batteries (eg separation of liquid and solid components hazardous waste 11

disposal) 12

2 Recycling of batteries and direct regeneration and re-use of cathode materials (2a) or 13

recovery of metals (2b) 14

3 2nd life in ESS applications under limited load (low DOD cycling low power) 15

16

Scenario 1 will add another component to battery costs scenario 2 and 3 could significantly 17

decrease the cost of batteries if energy efficient recycling methods can be developed or viable 18

2nd life business models are established 19

26 Annex 1

2611 Modelling of addressable markets for electric applications 2

Vehicle markets (in units of registrations in the EU28 per year) and ESS markets (in units of 3

number of installed home PV systems or in units of overall renewable (PV wind) electricity 4

generation in the EU28 per year) were modelled by exponential functions 5

119872119905119886119901119901(119905) = 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 6

With Mtapp(t) being the total market volume of an application M0 the market size in 2015 and 7

120591 times 119871119899(2) the time t necessary to double the initial market volume M0 M0 and Tau were chosen 8

to fit existing market data 9

119872119886119901119901(119905) = 119888 times 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 10

With Mapp(t) being the addressable market and c a factor equal or smaller than 1 Parameter 11

c lt 1 was chosen to take into account that not the whole existing market Mtapp might be 12

addressable by electric technologies Eg a share of vehicles primarily used for long distance 13

travel might not be addressable by BEV but by PHEV only 14

The market addressable for passenger PHEV (as a transition technology on the path to full 15

electric vehicles) was modelled as the difference of total vehicle sales and BEV sales 16

119872119875119867119864119881(119905) = 119888 times 119872119905119901119886119904119904119890119899119892119890119903(119905) minus 119878119861119864119881(119905) 17

The market addressable for passenger BEV was modelled like Mapp(t) with c lt 1 18

2612 Modelling of sales numbers of xEV and ESS 19

Yearly sales numbers Sapp(t) for the different applications were modelled by logistic growth 20

functions Logistic functions can model diffusion of technologies into existing markets with a 21

given market volume M The market volume can be a moving target M = M(t) The relative 22

change of sales numbers Srsquoapp(t)Sapp(t) is proportional to the market volume not yet 23

developed by a technology Mapp(t) ndash Sapp(t) 24

119878119886119901119901(119905) = 119872119886119901119901(119905) times1

1 + 119864119909119901(minus119872119886119901119901(119905) times (119905 minus 1199050)120591)(119872119886119901119901(119905)

119878119886119901119901(1199050)minus 1)

25

With Tau being a time constant and Sapp(t0) being the yearly sales number at year t0 (eg 26

2015) 27

Short time constants Tau of few years were used to model ESS sales Due to limitations of 28

the existing electricity grid to only buffer a certain share of fluctuating PV and wind generated 29

electricity the further expansion of renewable electricity generation might be strongly coupled 30

to ESS installations Hence ESS sales were modelled to closely follow the assumed 31

installations of renewable power in the limit of ldquovery fastrdquo market diffusion (120591 rarr 0) 32

2613 Modelling of battery system capacities 33

Battery capacities EBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws In 34

particular BEV battery capacities increased in the last years from 30 kWh in 2013 to more than 35

40 kWh in 2018 (EU sales and production averages) In the long term we expect BEV 36

capacities to converge towards a value sufficient to provide average driving ranges of some 37

100 km Battery capacity growth rates are hence supposed to slow down 38

119864119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198640 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 1

With E0 being the average battery capacity in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years and 2

b an exponent lt 1 The parameters were chosen to fit existing data 3

2614 Modelling of battery replacement rates 4

Battery replacement rates RrBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws 5

The replacement rate defines the share of batteries installed in year t that had to be replaced 6

within the lifetime of a system (xEV ESS) In particular for vehicles it is assumed that xEV 7

manufacturers currently install battery cells with a high lifetime and cyclability (several 8

thousand cycles) In the mid-term we expect that battery life and vehicle life (eg 200000 to 9

300000 km) will be matched by car manufacturers Assuming a constant vehicle lifetime 10

battery replacement rates are supposed to increase over time 11

119877119903119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198770 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 12

With R0 being the average replacement rate in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years 13

and b an exponent lt 1 At present there is no data available to fit the parameters Parameters 14

were estimated based on the usage profile and load of different applications 15

2615 Modelling of system lifetimes (xEV ESS) 16

System lifetimes Ltsystem(t) were assumed to be constant Ltsystem(t)= Ltsystem Parameters were 17

estimated based on manufacturer statements and typical lifetimes for combustion powered 18

vehicles 19

2616 Calculation of battery replacements 20

Battery replacements RpBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 21

calculated by assuming a uniform distribution of battery replacements over the lifetime 22

Ltsystem(i) of battery systems installed in year i 23

119877119901119861119886119905119905(119905) = sum119877119903119861119886119905119905(119894) times 119878119886119901119901(119894) times 119864119861119886119905119905(119894)

2617 Calculation of battery decommissions 25

Battery decommissions DcBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 26

assumed to happen coincident with the end of life of the systems (Ltsystem) they were installed 27

in in year i This neglects any second life usage in t gt i It was assumed that xEV or ESS 28

manufacturers will tune the battery lifetime to match the system lifetime (see 2614) 29

2618 Calculation of yearly installed battery capacity 31

The yearly installed battery capacity Sbapp(t) in the EU28 was calculated as 32

119878119887119886119901119901(119905) = 119878119886119901119901(119905) times 119864119886119901119901119861119886119905119905(119905) + 119877119901119886119901119901

and early 2000s can mainly be attributed to NiMH NiCd and other technologies The growth 1

experienced since 2010 in all three market categories is likely to be a result of the development 2

in the LIB market which can be considered to be the dominant submarket under the battery 3

technologies aggregated under 27202300 today (see and compare section 233 with a global 4

analysis of different battery technologies) 5

Figure 1 EU production import and export summarized in PRODCOM category 27202300 7

electric accumulators [2] 9

Note that no production volumes in terms of units or kWh are available from Eurostat 10

The value of batteries integrated into applications or sold as end products in Europe can be 11

assessed by considering the EU consumption value (EU sales and trade) which results from 12

the sum of production and import minus export values (see Figure 2) After a plateau like 13

market behavior between 2000 and 2010 a steep increase of the EU consumption value can 14

be observed The 2017 value adds up to about 4 billion Euro Assuming that the majority share 15

of this value can be attributed to LIB with a market price of 300 to 500 eurokWh (Mix of higher 16

priced consumer cells and lower priced automotive cells) the value corresponds to a capacity 17

of 8 to 13 GWh In consideration of its estimated character this number is in accordance with 18

the data presented in section 224 (based on a bottom up estimation of the capacity demand 19

by passenger xEV and home storage ESS markets 3C markets are not considered) 20

Hence it can be assumed that the data presented in the PRODCOM database meets the right 6

magnitude Due to the aggregation of battery technologies the consumption value of LIB alone 7

can however not be assessed by this data Furthermore the large price spread for LIB and 8

the dynamic development of prices does not allow to reliably conclude on the demand of 9

battery capacity (GWh) An assessment of market development and installed LIB stock in 10

Europe is given in section 22 and 23 based on other data sources 11

in different PRODCOM categories 15

Figure 3 Figure 4 Figure 5 and Figure 6 show production import export and EU sales and 16

trade data for automatic circuit breakers as potential component of BMS EU consumption 17

values do not show a clear upward trend comparable to the values for battery technologies 18

Although an increase of export and import values can be observed no clear correlation with 19

the production of battery systems for xEV or stationary storage in Europe can be observed 20

We conclude that the analysis of individual storage system related PRODCOM categories 21

does not allow to assess the market development for complete battery systems 22

product categories defined in Task 11 and for the stock (1990-2015) combined with a forecast 12

2020-2050 Therefore the following parameters need to be identified 13

2211 Useful data sources 5

Several market studies describing the present and future market situation for battery-based 6

applications exist Most of these studies have a global scope or focus on Asian countries due 7

to the structure of the battery market Comprehensive studies providing market data for the 8

EU and its member states are not known 9

To give an overview about stock and battery markets for the EU28 member states the 10

following bottom-up sources were utilized to give model estimations 11

bull Fraunhofer ISI in-house xEV database [3] The database has been developed in 2014 12

by Fraunhofer ISI and is updated since on an annual basis The last update was done 13

in November 2018 It covers global production and sales numbers for xEV models 14

broken down to countries as well as information on battery capacity and range of the 15

vehicles The database aggregates information provided by Marklines Co Ltd [4] the 16

European Alternative Fuels Observatory [5] the ev-sales blog [6] and other online 17

sources 18

bull Fraunhofer ISI in-house LIB database [7] The database covers information on the 19

major industrial players in the Li-ion business from materials to cell production The 20

development and location of production capacities is frequently updated Information 21

on performance and cost of commercially available battery cells as well as the meta 22

analysis of several studies providing forecasts on the respective developments are 23

also covered in the database Information is collected from several online sources and 24

available product data sheets 25

bull Additional market studies and databases as discussed in the following sections 30

222 Market stock and forecast for xEVs in Europe 31

As will be shown in section 23 the stock of installed medium or large-sized batteries in Europe 32

is strongly related to the diffusion of electric mobility In contrast to several Asian countries 33

xEV sales in Europe predominantly concern passenger cars Ebuses as well as light and 34

heavy commercial vehicles still do not play a major role in terms of installed capacity At 35

present the average energy content of a BEV passenger electric vehicle battery is higher than 36

40 kWh Small vehicles like the Renault Twizy feature a capacity of less than 10 kWh while 37

the models with highest capacity sold in EU28 countries approach the 100 kWh mark (Jaguar 38

iPace and Tesla Model X 90 kWh Tesla Model 3 73 kWh) The amount of battery capacity 39

installed in passenger PHEVs is about 10 kWh and has remained on a constant level over the 40

last years (see Figure 7) 41

2221 Production and sales of BEV 4

Figure 8 shows the number of produced BEVs [3] broken down to the production country from 5

2010 to 2018 A forecast until 2020 based on the average growth rates between 2016 and 6

2018 is shown in addition This production data is a measure for the demand of battery cells 7

in the individual EU28 countries 8

Germany France and the Netherlands lead the field of BEV producers in Europe On 9

European level an average yearly growth rate of over 40 can be observed It is expected 10

that the number of 150000 produced BEVs in 2018 will double in 2020 11

12

Figure 8 Production numbers for BEVs produced in EU28 countries and forecast until 2020 13

[3] 14

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

13

In contrast to the production data the sales numbers for BEV reflect the amount of installed 1

vehicle batteries in the individual EU28 countries It can be seen in Figure 9 that the proportion 2

among the EU28 countries in terms of sold vehicles is much more even as compared to the 3

production Germany France the United Kingdom and the Netherlands lead the market 4

however significant sales numbers can also be found in other countries The level and growth 5

rates of BEV sales is comparable to BEV production It should however be noted that there is 6

significant trade with other regions of the world eg BEV imports from KR (Hyundai) and JP 7

(Mitsubishi Nissan) and exports to North America (BMW Volkswagen) Hence the BEV 8

market can not be considered to be an internal market 9

10

Figure 9 Number of sold BEVs in EU28 member states and forecast until 2020 [3] 11

2222 Production and sales of PHEV 12

Similar to section 2221 production and sales numbers for PHEV resolved by country are 13

shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11 Although on a comparable level in terms of produced and 14

sold vehicles it must be emphasized that the contribution of PHEVs to the demand for battery 15

capacity is due to the smaller size of the battery much less than the demand generated by 16

BEVs At present the main production sites for PHEVs are located in Germany Due to 17

production sites for Audi (VW) and Volvo PHEVs Sweden and Slovakia also significantly 18

contribute to the production 19

2223 Forecast xEV sales and stock EU28 9

The data presented in sections 2221 and 2222 was used as an input for a forecast model 10

on passenger PHEV and BEV as well as light and heavy commercial xEVs (see also [8] and 11

section 26) 12

It was assumed that extrapolated EU wide sales numbers and growth rates for passenger as 13

well as light vehicles [9] represent natural boundaries for the growth of xEV markets Logistic 14

growth functions (see setion 26) were used to model market diffusion Passenger BEV were 15

assumed to be an initially faster growing transition technology which will partially be replaced 1

by BEV in the long term A passenger xEV lifetime of 12 years with battery replacement rates 2

of 15 per lifetime were assumed For commercial vehicles a lifetime of 9 years and 3

replacement rate of 25 and a lifetime of 12 years and battery replacement rate of 80 were 4

assumed for light and heavy vehicles respectively The assumption for the market model is 5

223 Market stock and forecast for ESS in Europe 3

As discussed in Task 1 several stationary applications for batteries exist ranging from grid 4

support to home storage As will be shown in section 23 the demand for battery capacity 5

generated by ESS applications at present is rather small as compared to 3C and motive 6

markets There is no systematic registration of large scale or small scale stationary storage 7

systems in the EU Hence the market stock and volume for respective applications can only 8

be estimated based on indirect data 9

2231 Photovoltaic installations in the EU 10

Energy storage systems in combination with photovoltaic installations are one major 11

application for batteries both for private as well as commercial purposes Due to changes in 12

reimbursement and subsidy policy as well as the physical capability of the energy system to 13

buffer and process high shares of renewable energy the use of local energy storage systems 14

is becoming more and more popular There is no data on the share of PV installations 15

equipped with an energy storage system for the EU However on regional level some data is 16

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

20

available According to [10] approximately half of the PV systems with a peak power below 1

30 kW installed in Germany in 2017 have been equipped with an energy storage option 2

(amounting to about 30000 storage systems with a cumulative capacity of 400 MWh) 3

At present the installation of storage systems is strongly coupled to new installations of PV 4

systems As shown in Figure 16 with data on Germany the retrofit of existing PV installations 5

with storage systems is however expected to contribute significantly to the demand for battery 6

capacity in the PV segment in the future Within the forecast shown 50 of the sold storage 7

systems might be integrated into already existing PV-systems in 2030 8

9

Figure 16 PV installations and retrofit of existing PV installations in Germany Data and image 10

taken from [11] 11

Figure 17 shows the yearly installed PV power (MW) in the EU28 [12] A boom of PV 12

installations can clearly be observed for the years 2010 to 2012 mainly driven by installations 13

in Germany and Italy Likely as a result of changing subsidy policies the yearly installed PV 14

power has since then steadily decreased in both countries On the other hand a steady 15

increase in installations can be observed for the Netherlands and the UK In the forecast model 16

applied in [12] a slight increase in new installations is expected until 2021 driven by 17

installations in the UK and Portugal as well as member countries which so far do not have 18

any considerable PV installations Due to decreasing costs for solar panels and rather stable 19

remuneration rates this upward trend seems to be justified 20

21

Figure 17 PV installations in EU28 countries and forecast until 2020 Data taken from [12] 2

Based on the data given in [10] for Germany 80 of the installed PV systems can be attributed 3

to small or medium sized installations (average of 10 kWp) directly feeding into the low-voltage 4

grid In terms of power these systems amount to about 30 of the installations If equipped 5

with an energy storage system the average battery capacity amounts to 8 to 10 kWh [13] 6

Concerning installations in Europe it can be argued that there is a trend towards smaller roof-7

top systems for more densely populated and less sunny regions while in particular in the 8

southern European countries larger solar parks are favored Since no comprehensive data 9

covering the whole EU is available only a rough estimation for the demand of battery storage 10

systems and capacity can be made 11

Assuming that the number of smaller roof-top installations (30 of power) as well as the 12

number of systems equipped with an ESS (50 of installations lt 30 kWp) is above average 13

for Germany as compared to the rest of the EU the market data and forecasts given in [12] 14

and [11] would lead to a demand for battery capacity as summarized in Table 5 15

2232 Wind Turbine installations in the EU 5

Similar to section 2231 for PV installations Figure 18 shows data and forecasts for wind 6

turbine power installations in the EU28 [12] In contrast to PV installations wind turbine power 7

is almost exclusively attributed to larger scale wind parks We conclude that the use of small 8

scale ESS for the optimization of private energy consumption is therefore not driven by wind 9

power installations 10

Still the ongoing installation of wind turbine power in the EU28 might become a driver for large 11

scale decentralized energy storage systems however there is no market data available which 12

would allow for a battery demand forecast 13

2233 Large battery ESS projects 5

The DOE Global Energy Storage Database [14] lists several larger scale ESS projects around 6

the world Figure 19 shows the cumulated storage capacity (installed stock) for the EU28 Of 7

the 450 MWh installed until 2018 in total 340 MWh were installed in Germany and 80 MWh 8

in the UK Since this is not an exhaustive list it can be considered as lower boundary for the 9

installed stock 10

Figure 19 Installed ESS capacity (stock) in large scale projects in EU28 A ratio of 11 with 2

respect to installed power and installed energy content (capacity) was assumed [14] 3

Table 6 lists larger scale (~MWh) stationary storage systems installed in the EU in 2017 [12] 4

80 of these installations are categorized as substation storage 6 relates to frequency 5

stabilization 5 to storage of wind-generated energy and 1 to storage of PV-generated 6

energy 7

Note that most of these installations are prototype or test facilities which does not allow to 8

use this application share as template for future market developments The total installed 9

capacity of 340 MWh in 2017 suggests that the market volume of large scale ESS is of the 10

same order of magnitude as that of home storage Note that the installed capacity for 2017 in 11

[14] is only 65 MWh It is however not stated in [12] whether the listed ESS projects are still in 12

construction or already operational 13

The data presented in sections 2231 2232 and 2233 was used as an input for a forecast 3

model on large scale and home ESS 4

EU wide sales numbers and growth rates for PV coupled home storage systems were 5

extrapolated with declining growth rates for 2035 and beyond With respect to large scale ESS 6

it was assumed that the generation of electricity by renewable sources exceeding 17 (2015 7

value [15]) of the total electricity generation necessitates a certain amount of ESS buffer 8

capacity EU 2020 and 2030 targets [16 17] for the share of renewable electricity generation 9

were used as a forecast model The buffer capacity demand was estimated to be 70 of the 10

daily electrical energy generated by renewables exceeding the share of 17 11

A lifetime of 20 years with a replacement rate of 10 was assumed for home ESS and a 12

lifetime of 20 years with a battery replacement rate of 80 within this lifetime was assumed 13

for large scale ESS System capacities were modelled by a power law based on present-day 14

values The assumptions for the market model are summarized in Table 7 and Table 8 and 15

shall be subject to discussion during the stakeholder meeting 16

224 Summary of the market sales forecast and estimation of the future 1

and past stock 2

As shown in sections 222 and 223 several drivers exist for the application of battery storage 3

systems in stationary and motive applications While the demand for battery capacity 4

generated by BEV and PHEV passenger cars was on the level of several GWh for 2017 the 5

ESS markets might still be below the 1 GWh mark in the EU 6

With respect to the increase of average battery capacity installed in different applications (see 7

Figure 22) and the growth rates for the sales of xEV and ESS (see sections 2223 and 8

2232) forecasts for the total new installations (including replacements) of batteries in the 9

EU28 are shown in Figure 23 See annex for further comments 10

11

Figure 22 Average system battery energy (kWh or MWh) forecast 12

23 Market trends 3

231 General objective of subtask 23 and approach 4

The following chapter provides a comprehensive market overview on global battery sales 5

demand and players Starting with the market development of Lithium-ion batteries between 6

2010 to 2017 scenarios until 2025 to 2030 are presented including a meta-analysis of several 7

most recent market reports (eg [18ndash27]) Step by step the regional markets and markets by 8

applications will be specified 9

232 Market drivers and CO2 legislation [28] 10

Climate and energy policies are main drivers for the energy future and are expected to lead to 11

an increasing demand for energy storage in the mid and long term (see Figure 24) According 12

to the European Unionacutes decarbonization objective a reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) 13

emissions to 80 ndash 95 below 1990 levels should be achieved by 2050 14

In particular for the transport sector no full decarbonization is achieved [29] even in the longer 15

term (other sectors have to compensate with higher GHG reductions) The overall reduction 16

achieved in the transport sector by 2050 is only around 60 below 1990 levels The 17

increasing trend in emissions seen over the past 20 years is expected to reverse by the CO2 18

legislation From 2020 on the fleet average to be achieved by all new cars is 95 grams of CO2 19

per kilometer (compared to 130 gkm in 2015) 20

Many other governments world-wide have specified CO2 emission targets and are striving 21

towards a low carbon economy Particularly in the field of passenger and commercial vehicles 22

fuel consumption and emission targets have been installed which significantly drive the 23

introduction of battery or fuel cell powered electric vehicles Among these emission policies 24

the targets set by the EU are among the most ambitious (see Table 11) Meeting them will 25

require a significant share of electric vehicles 26

Table 11 Overview about fuel consumption and CO2-emission targets for passenger vehicles 1

of the EU and other countries leading battery and electric mobility markets [30] 2

In this context electric mobility is gaining importance since electric vehicles especially plug-3

in hybrid and pure battery electric vehicles can help to achieve or fulfill these limits due to 4

improved CO2 footprints compared to conventional cars However for low CO2 footprints over 5

the lifetime of electric cars a high share of ldquolow carbonrdquo renewable energy sources (RES) in 6

the energy mix is needed and important (Figure 24 left side) 7

8

Figure 24 Climate and energy policies as drivers for future energy storage demand [28] 9

The EU Energy Roadmap 2050 [31 32] has shown across six scenarios that the 10

decarbonization goal can be achieved if the share of renewable energy sources (RES) among 11

the power generation capacity is high (gt 60 until 2050) for all scenarios Especially for the 12

high RES scenario the share of fluctuating energy generation (wind photovoltaic ndash PV) is the 13

strongest which has to be balanced Grid expansion andor flexibilization measures (eg 14

demand side management power to gas and vehicle to grid besides stationary battery 15

storage) are potential solutions Thus the high RES scenario is the most interesting scenario 16

with respect to a potential future demand for energy storage solutions (ESS) on local 17

distribution and transmission grid levels (Figure 24 right side) In order to have a significant 18

GHG reduction with EVs it will also be important to achieve the RES targets 19

233 The developing battery market 1

The total annual battery market is currently on the level of 45-60 billion Euro representing 2

approximately 400-500 GWh (including Lead-acid Lithium-Ion and other batteries) [33] 3

Lithium-ion batteries (LIB) have succeeded because of their high gravimetric and volumetric 4

energy densities and have a market share of about a third in terms of value among the whole 5

battery market The growth is driven by the decreasing cell costs of less than 170 eurokWh for a 6

standard cylindrical cell (lowest prices) approaching the 90 eurokWh mark in the next years This 7

cost degression is due to increasing capacity demand and production and thus due to scale 8

effects 9

Although the LIB market is drastically growing with annual growth rates of up to 30 percent 10

on average (in terms of battery capacity demand) the dominating battery technology in terms 11

of capacity however are still lead-acid batteries representing about 90 percent of the global 12

demand in volume around 2010 and 80 percent in 2017 13

14

15

Figure 25 Historical development of the global battery demand in GWh (left axis for NiCd 16

NiMH right axis for all other battery types grey total battery demand) [34] 17

Other mature battery technologies like NiCd (still partly used in power tools) and NiMH (still 18

used in hybrid electric vehicles HEV) are slowly declining and are expected to disappear from 19

the market in the next decade The diversification of future battery applications however will 20

also broaden the range of battery technologies Emerging technologies like Na-based Metal-21

Sulfur or Redox Flow batteries are developing and may lead to attractive solutions eg with 22

respect to cost and resource availability advantages However due to very strict requirements 23

on volumetric energy densities these technologies are expected to be relevant for stationary 24

or other special markets and less for the most significant electric vehicle market In general 25

each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses and none of them can satisfy all user 26

demands Hence a broader application-specific technology portfolio is urgently needed in 27

order to provide alternative technology solutions in the future 28

The extremely dynamic development of the global LIB demand will lead to the TWh level latest 29

around 2030 and grow further after 2030 Thus LIB will very soon transform into the 30

dominating energy storage technology 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

34

Figure 26 shows three different scenarios for the global demand for LIB between 2010 and 1

2030 (green curves) along with global production capacities (orange and blue curve)[33] 2

While at the beginning of the decade the demand and sales numbers followed the medium 3

growth rate trend scenario the market has been approaching the high growth rate scenario in 4

the last years This is mainly due to the strong engagement of politics and respective 5

regulation and subsidy programs for electric mobility As can be seen from the graph the 6

share of demand generated by motive applications is expected to significantly grow in the next 7

years and might account for more than one third of the total LIB demand by 2025 8

To face this increasing demand for LIB cells accordingly production capacities need to be 9

build up in the near future Based on the currently existing cell production capacities and the 10

global announcements from established and new cell producers until 2025 the LIB cell 11

production capacities (blue line in 12

Figure 26) have been identified Compared to 15 GWh added production capacity between 13

2013 and 2016 in the next years around 50 GWh will be added annually leading to around 14

700 GWh production capacities until 2025 (in the optimistic case see blue line in 15

Figure 26) The announcements include established players such as Panasonic (JP) LG 16

Chem (KR) Samsung (KR) SKI (KR) BYD (CN) Lishen (CN) CATL (CN) CALB (CN) 17

OPTIMUM (CN) and several further Chinese cell producers Also new players such as TerraE 18

(DE) Northvolt (SW) Boston Energy (US AU) Energy Absolute (Thailand) are included 19

while accounting for the different stages of expansion [20 27] 20

21

234 Battery markets by application 23

Diversification of applications for batteries 24

The above described global developments of battery demand and production strongly concern 25

high-energy lithium-ion batteries with the cell chemistries NMC NCA (Ni-rich and Co-reduced 26

cathodes) and SiC (high capacity SiC anodes with 5-10 or higher Si content) and cell 27

formats cylindrical (eg larger 21700 compared to standard 18650) large pouch or prismatic 28

cells The target is to develop and produce cells with improved gravimetric and volumetric 29

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

35

energy densities and reduced costs in order to meet the requirements of the automotive 1

industry Electric passenger cars are driving the demand and thus development of the battery 2

technology and these optimized and cost reduced batteries define the benchmark today and 3

in the future 4

LIB demand by applications 5

In Figure 27 the global LIB demand is broken down to the three main sectors for battery 6

demand which can be characterised each having different profiles of requirement 7

bull electric mobility or electric vehicles (EV including eg passenger cars light 8

commercial vehicles buses trucks scooters ebikes etc) 9

bull stationary energy storage systems (ESS) and 10

bull portable devices (3C ndash Computer Communication Consumer) 11

The LIB cell demand developed to almost 25 GWh in 2010 since the market introduction in 12

the early 1990s and dominantly resulted from portable devices In 2015 the cell demand of 13

about 70 GWh was distributed already almost 5050 between 3C and EV applications 14

15

Figure 27 Global LIB demand (in GWh and share in ) by segment [34] 16

Since 2015 the global LIB demand has increased with compound annual growth rates 17

(CAGR) of ~25 from about 70 GWh to about 110 GWh in 2017 The market for electric 18

vehicles currently grows with 30-40 (and more depending on the application and region) and 19

a diversification in applications (eg buses trucks other light to heavy commercial vehicles 20

marine applications drones etc) can be observed 21

With the diversification of future markets and applications cost sensitive markets will arise for 22

which optimized high-energy and cost reduced automotive cells of certain cell formats will be 23

used However also applications with stronger requirements on long lifetime high cycleability 24

fast charging capability safety etc will emerge and diffuse where cost is not the most 25

relevant factor and other battery technologies (ie cell chemistries formats) can provide a 26

unique selling proposition and hence lead to a product differentiation 27

2341 LIB markets for 3C applications 28

Portable devices (3C) have been the main applications for LIB cells in the past Power tools 29

medical devices and wearables are expected to be products with an emerging future market 30

for small LIB cells but with enormous quantities The price per kWh that can be stored plays a 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

36

less important role for these applications As far as charging is concerned technologies such 1

as energy harvesting and wireless charging are expected to be introduced in the future For 2

many markets and products such as household devices garden cleaning power tools other 3

mobile leisure applications etc today mostly cylindrical LIB cells of the format 18650 are used 4

With the introduction of 21700 cells also larger cylindrical cells become available now and are 5

expected to be used in diffuse in such applications Although different specific cell chemistries 6

might be suitable depending on the concrete application again it can be stated that the 3C 7

segment is expected to lead to a comparably small battery capacity demand compared to the 8

EV segment and will not be the limiting segment with respect to the risk of resource 9

dependencies 10

In the next few years growth rates of about 5 to 10 percent are expected for the 3C markets 11

while laptop battery demand is developing at lower growth rates and power tools medical 12

devices etc are supporting the growth rates for the battery demand 13

14

15

Figure 28 Demand and growth of the 3C LIB market [34] 16

2342 LIB markets for stationary (ESS) applications 17

Stationary energy storage systems (ESS) can be divided into different size classes with regard 18

to the capacity and charging times Both together decide on the application area (eg small 19

PV storage at home peak load to long-term storage) [35] Beyond that the price per kWh put 20

through over the lifetime is the economic key factor (as synthesized by the LCOE levelized 21

cost of energy) In contrast gravimetric and volumetric energy density plays a subordinate 22

role Due to that lead-acid batteries were often used as storage technology for off- and on-23

grid storage Currently LIBs are being established for commercial use and meanwhile reach 24

an annual demand of some few GWh Other electrochemical storage technologies such as 25

sodium-sulfur batteries are still used but the demand for LIB is strongly increasing for ESS It 26

is expected that 2nd life concepts for batteries that had their first life in electric vehicles will 27

gain importance together with market diffusion in the EV segment as the requirements on the 28

batteries are less demanding in the ESS segment This however will require the development 29

of according business models standardization etc The much broader available technology 30

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

37

portfolio for ESS applications the use of 2nd life batteries and the fact that electric vehicle 1

batteries that are connected to the grid on a large scale with higher market diffusion can be 2

regarded as stationary storage systems as well (vehicle to grid V2G grid to vehicle G2V) help 3

to reduce the risk of technological and resource dependencies in the future 4

The market for stationary storage applications (ESS) is experiencing growth rates of 20 to 30 5

percent depending on individual market forecasts (in the last years CAGR have even been on 6

the level of 60 but decrease with increasing size of the market see Figure 29) 7

The market is currently on a level of few GWh including applications from smaller PV storage 8

systems of 5-10 kWh to larger industrial and grid connected installations for own power 9

consumption peak shaving etc on the MWh level Regarding these growth rates LIB for ESS 10

applications rapidly gain importance as de-central storage solutions compared to the currently 11

dominating central pumped hydro storage (PHS) Forecasts to 2025 differ by size and expect 12

an ESS LIB demand between 20-50 GWh (partially higher eg in [23]) but all forecasts identify 13

high growth rates 14

15

Figure 29 Demand and growth of the ESS LIB market [34] 16

17

2343 LIB markets for electric vehicle applications 18

One of the biggest challenges for batteries for electric vehicles (EV including electric cars 19

buses trucks etc) apart from their price is the increase of their volumetric and gravimetric 20

energy density The volumetric energy density is even more important for OEM due to 21

restricted and fixed space and location of the battery in an electric vehicle A very relevant 22

parameter of a battery is its charging and discharging power in particular in continuous 23

operation It determines the fast-charging capability which is an important argument in the 24

use and the establishment on the market At the same time this sets limits to the high-25

performance operation since energy consumption is reduced to protect the battery from 26

damage This illustrates the conflicting effect of different parameters on the battery lifetime 27

Price volume weight and thus charge density as well as chargedischarge rate in terms of 28

usage and durability are the most urgent challenges for battery manufacturers 29

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

38

The market for EV batteries is currently at the level of about 50 GWh (including electric 1

passenger cars busses trucks ebikes scooter forklifts etc) Growth rates are at 20 to 40 2

percent and the demand for EV batteries will lead to a share of about 66 percent in 2020 76 3

percent until 2025 and 80 percent or higher in the long term Electric passenger cars (BEV 4

and PHEV) define the by far largest market within the EV segment and are clearly driving the 5

technology development of high energy Lithium-Ion or Lithium-based batteries in the future 6

7

Figure 30 Demand and growth of the EV LIB market [34] 8

9

Other motive (or stationary or portable) markets applications besides the highly competitive 10

electric passenger cars therefore can offer interesting growth markets also for smaller cell 11

producers beyond the large Japanese Korean and Chinese cell producers These markets or 12

applications very often define concrete requirements for the battery performance they require 13

an in depth understanding and design from the cell chemistry format to the modulepack and 14

system integration and they still vary strongly by region and are connected to individual system 15

integrators or OEM This is because each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses 16

and none of them can satisfy all userapplication demands Hence a broader application 17

specific technology portfolio is even urgently needed in order to provide alternative individual 18

technology solutions for these emerging marketsapplications 19

20

235 Market channels and production structure 21

2351 Global production capacities and major players 22

Since their commercialization in the 1990s LIB have been predominantly produced by 23

Japanese and Korean companies Driven by the Chinese government particularly cell 24

producers but also companies covering other steps of the LIB value creation chain have been 25

established in China Due to a policy of simultaneous support for LIB production as well as for 26

application markets and due to an extensive subsidy scheme a large share of LIB production 27

capacities is located in China today 28

Figure 31 Figure 32 Figure 33 and Figure 34 show the global LIB production capacities of 29

major cell producers in 2018 as well as forecasts for 2020 2025 and 2030 respectively [36] 30

The data is based on announcements made by the cell producers As discussed in section 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

39

233 the actual time-frame for the implementation of the capacity expansions is often delayed 1

with respect to the original announcements Hence minimum and maximum values for the 2

production capacities are given 3

Figure 34 Global LIB production capacities of major cell producers in 2030 [36] 2

Until 2030 the announced production capacities add up to more than 1 TWh In total there 3

are about 30 cell producers which have announced to build up production capacities of more 4

than 10 GWhyear which can be considered to be a threshold in order to be able to produce 5

at competitve costs [36] If the announced capacities are fully utilized the ldquobig 4rdquo (Panasonic 6

CATL LGC and BYD) will be able to fully cover the market demand (gt550 GWh) until 2025 7

2352 Europes position in the global battery value chain 8

In the EU several actors are positioned which cover production steps along the whole value 9

chain of LIBs starting from raw material production to production of cells and systems and 10

finally recycling However with respect to global markets only few organizations within the EU 11

have a market share of more than 1 in their specific segment eg BASF Germany in the 12

field of electrolyte production [30] 13

An overview about existing and active companies is given by the European Battery Alliance 14

(see Figure 35) Due to the presence of strong automotive OEM LIB pack manufacturing and 15

system integration is taking place on large scale in Europe A particular gap in the value chain 16

is present due to the lack of a large-scale cell production capable of serving the volumes and 17

prices required by the automotive industry 18

Several consortia are currently attempting to build up a European large scale cell 4

manufacturing such as Nothvolt (Sweden) with 32 GWh until 2023 or Saft (together with 5

Siemens and Manz) [39] Recently the German government announced plans for funding of 6

a Batterie-Cell-Alliance between Germany and Poland with cell production capacities in the 7

Regions Lausitz (Germany) and Westpoland [40 41] At the cross section between RampD and 8

large-scale production also a Research Production with 600 Mio EUR funding is foreseen 9

whereas the Fraunhofer Society should coordinate and run such a research production [42] 10

The announced funding from the German government sums up to 2 bn EUR 11

Given all these announced investments and production capacities to build up in the next years 12

the cell production capacities of European cell manufacturers could sum up to over 40 GWh 13

beyond 2025 In contrast main Asian cell manufacturer have already started with cell 14

production (eg LG SDI) or plan to build up production capacities until 2020 to 2025 In 15

concrete there are plans from [43ndash51] 16

17

bull CATL (China) to build 14 GWh in Germany Erfurt beyond 2020 18

bull LG Chem (Japan) to build 15 to 24 GWh (for 03 Mio EVs) in Poland beyond 2020 19

bull Samsung SDI (Japan) to build 10 to 15 GWh beyond 2020 in Hungary (including a 20

recent 5 GWh announcement for 21700 cells for Land Rover 21

bull SK Innovation (Japan) to build 75 GWh in Hungary beyond 2020 22

bull PanasonicTesla to build a (assumed 35GWh) Gigafactory in Europa around 2025 23

bull as well as from BYD (China) GS Yuasa (Japan) and Farasis (US) to build production 24

capacities between 2020 and 2025 25

26

The production capacities from Asian (or non-European) cell manufacturer might sum up to 27

well above 82-96 GWh by 2025 and including BYD GS Yuasa Farasis etc capacities far 28

above 100 GWh can be expected Together with the new EU cell producers this could easily 29

sum up towards the above mentioned 200 GWh demand in Europe But it also clearly indicates 30

the competition the emerging European players have to face (besides the fact that the plans 1

of the Asian companies are expected to be realized already several years earlier as those of 2

the novel EU companies) 3

2353 Product design trends and technological roadmap 4

Concerning the battery technology or type (by chemistry format etc) which will most likely 5

be produced to address this increasing demand the global roadmaps of cell producers are 6

basically similar Based on state-of-the art cell design (eg LFP NCA based ldquogeneration 1rdquo 7

and NMC111 to NMC532 ldquogeneration 2abrdquo Li-ion batteries) [52] and state-of-the-art 8

production equipment incremental improvements are expected in the next few years but with 9

the target to get to higher-energy lithium-ion batteries Concerning the electrolytes still liquid 10

electrolytes will be used but adopted to the changing electrode materials (eg with additives) 11

Current trends for layered oxide cathodes describe the development of Ni-rich (Co reduced) 12

materials (NMC) A few cell producers are already using NMC811 or comparable cathode 13

materials others are still adopting NMC622 (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3ardquo) On cathode 14

side maybe even lower-cost Mn-rich High Energy NMCs (HE-NMC) might be realized and 15

produced within ~10 years as Mn is cheaper than Ni (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3brdquo) On 16

anode side the trend is to incorporate Si-nano particles to make use of the alloying reaction 17

between Si and Li yielding a high capacitance This however comes at the cost of cycle life 18

Further down the road we might see higher Si contents (~20) 19

20

All-solid-state batteries are on the roadmap of many battery producers but also OEM (also 21

referred to as ldquogeneration 4rdquo) The key performance parameters (KPI) are suitable for electric 22

mobility (EV) Main challenges are indeed manufacturability particularly for ceramic solid state 23

electrolytes which promise to yield the highest advantages over state of the art technologies 24

The market introduction in niche applications is expected possible prior to the use in 25

automotive applications First all-solid-state batteries might not be competitive in terms of 26

energy density but safety properties Later on energy densities of 350-400 Whkg and higher 27

are expected 28

Other technologies (not marked in blue in the above figure) feature certain USPs compared to 4

Li-ion batteries but (according to the current level of knowledge) do not reach the necessary 5

KPIs in terms of energy density power density and cycling stability necessary for electric 6

mobility (these are marked in grey) USPs of these technologies can be cost resource 7

availability either volumetric or gravimetric energy density or others But often even 8

fundamental challenges are not solved yet (eg concerning the stability of materials and 9

24 Consumer expenditure base data 2

241 General objective of subtask 24 and approach 3

Subtask 24 gives an overview about average production costs and consumer prices incl 4

VAT (for consumer prices streetprice) excl VAT (for B2B products) as well as an estimation 5

of repair and maintenance as well as installation and disposal costs 6

Due to their recent larger scale market introduction there is still little experience with 7

maintenance as well as disposal expenses Hence only estimations can be made based on 8

isolated sources 9

242 Development of LIB cell costs 10

As the core of LIB based energy storage systems the battery cell exhibits the highest cost 11

share During the last years particularly standardized 18650 format LIB cells have 12

experienced a steep cost learning curve benefiting from production scale effects but also 13

from technological advancements on material level increasing the energy density per volume 14

and weight and decreasing the amount of cost intense Cobalt-based components Compared 15

to this benchmark larger format LIB cells (Pouch prismatic) as are utilized in xEVs and ESS 16

predominantly feature lower energy densities at higher cost per kWh There are however no 17

principal limitations which would prevent a performance and cost development similar to what 18

was observed for cylindrical cells Figure 39 shows the cost learning curves for cylindrical as 19

well as larger format LIB cells [33] Today average costs for cells suitable for automotive use 20

are below 150 eurokWh (cylindrical) and around 200 eurokWh (Pouchprismatic) In specific cases 21

prices around 100 eurokWh have been reported already [53] It should however be noted that 22

with the current market situation LIB prices being below costs are not unlikely to occur 23

Until 2025 production costs of the different cell formats are expected to approach and fall 24

below the mark of 100 eurokWh between 2020 and 2025 Taking further developments on 25

material level into account costs around 60-100 eurokWh seam feasible past 2025 26

Figure 39 Cost learning curves for large LIB cells (cylindrical and Pouchprismatic) [33] 3

Similar cost learning curves have been observed for other battery technologies (see Figure 4

40) In principal cost degression can be limited by demand (compare NiCd) or by reaching 5

material cost limits (compare Pb) Also the diffusion of battery technologies in new markets 6

or applications can lead to further technological improvements and justify higher production 7

costs (compare deviation of NiMH Pb) Following the available data for LIB cells approx 100 8

$kWh (~89 eurokWh) are reached at a cumulative yearly production of 1TWh This mark is 9

expected to be reached between 2020 and 2030 10

Beyond 2030 LIB production costs are however expected to start deviating from this curve 11

due to limiting raw material prices 12

2432 ESS 7

According to recent end-customer price data provided in [55] for 2018 typical consumer prices 8

for small scale (~10 kWh) stationary home storage systems are between 5000 and 15000 9

Euros leading to a relative price of 800 to 1200 eurokWh It is expected that these system prices 10

will benefit from the growing battery markets (also xEV) since similar LIB cell types can be 11

applied in both application areas With respect to inverters and other system related costs the 12

smaller market volume of home ESS indicates lower economy of scale effects as compared 13

to cells 14

244 Installation repair and maintenance costs 15

2441 xEV 16

So far no comprehensive information on repair and maintenance costs for the battery system 17

of xEVs are available Due to still rather accommodating service policies repair or 18

replacement of batteries is so far often covered by the manufacturer 19

2451 Second life and recycling considerations 6

Until today only pilot projects Strategy of automotive OEM regarding second life applications 7

is not known 8

Value of recycled materials can be estimated 9

Three main scenarios possible after end of 1st life (xEV) 10

1 Disposal of batteries (eg separation of liquid and solid components hazardous waste 11

disposal) 12

2 Recycling of batteries and direct regeneration and re-use of cathode materials (2a) or 13

recovery of metals (2b) 14

3 2nd life in ESS applications under limited load (low DOD cycling low power) 15

16

Scenario 1 will add another component to battery costs scenario 2 and 3 could significantly 17

decrease the cost of batteries if energy efficient recycling methods can be developed or viable 18

2nd life business models are established 19

26 Annex 1

2611 Modelling of addressable markets for electric applications 2

Vehicle markets (in units of registrations in the EU28 per year) and ESS markets (in units of 3

number of installed home PV systems or in units of overall renewable (PV wind) electricity 4

generation in the EU28 per year) were modelled by exponential functions 5

119872119905119886119901119901(119905) = 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 6

With Mtapp(t) being the total market volume of an application M0 the market size in 2015 and 7

120591 times 119871119899(2) the time t necessary to double the initial market volume M0 M0 and Tau were chosen 8

to fit existing market data 9

119872119886119901119901(119905) = 119888 times 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 10

With Mapp(t) being the addressable market and c a factor equal or smaller than 1 Parameter 11

c lt 1 was chosen to take into account that not the whole existing market Mtapp might be 12

addressable by electric technologies Eg a share of vehicles primarily used for long distance 13

travel might not be addressable by BEV but by PHEV only 14

The market addressable for passenger PHEV (as a transition technology on the path to full 15

electric vehicles) was modelled as the difference of total vehicle sales and BEV sales 16

119872119875119867119864119881(119905) = 119888 times 119872119905119901119886119904119904119890119899119892119890119903(119905) minus 119878119861119864119881(119905) 17

The market addressable for passenger BEV was modelled like Mapp(t) with c lt 1 18

2612 Modelling of sales numbers of xEV and ESS 19

Yearly sales numbers Sapp(t) for the different applications were modelled by logistic growth 20

functions Logistic functions can model diffusion of technologies into existing markets with a 21

given market volume M The market volume can be a moving target M = M(t) The relative 22

change of sales numbers Srsquoapp(t)Sapp(t) is proportional to the market volume not yet 23

developed by a technology Mapp(t) ndash Sapp(t) 24

119878119886119901119901(119905) = 119872119886119901119901(119905) times1

1 + 119864119909119901(minus119872119886119901119901(119905) times (119905 minus 1199050)120591)(119872119886119901119901(119905)

119878119886119901119901(1199050)minus 1)

25

With Tau being a time constant and Sapp(t0) being the yearly sales number at year t0 (eg 26

2015) 27

Short time constants Tau of few years were used to model ESS sales Due to limitations of 28

the existing electricity grid to only buffer a certain share of fluctuating PV and wind generated 29

electricity the further expansion of renewable electricity generation might be strongly coupled 30

to ESS installations Hence ESS sales were modelled to closely follow the assumed 31

installations of renewable power in the limit of ldquovery fastrdquo market diffusion (120591 rarr 0) 32

2613 Modelling of battery system capacities 33

Battery capacities EBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws In 34

particular BEV battery capacities increased in the last years from 30 kWh in 2013 to more than 35

40 kWh in 2018 (EU sales and production averages) In the long term we expect BEV 36

capacities to converge towards a value sufficient to provide average driving ranges of some 37

100 km Battery capacity growth rates are hence supposed to slow down 38

119864119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198640 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 1

With E0 being the average battery capacity in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years and 2

b an exponent lt 1 The parameters were chosen to fit existing data 3

2614 Modelling of battery replacement rates 4

Battery replacement rates RrBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws 5

The replacement rate defines the share of batteries installed in year t that had to be replaced 6

within the lifetime of a system (xEV ESS) In particular for vehicles it is assumed that xEV 7

manufacturers currently install battery cells with a high lifetime and cyclability (several 8

thousand cycles) In the mid-term we expect that battery life and vehicle life (eg 200000 to 9

300000 km) will be matched by car manufacturers Assuming a constant vehicle lifetime 10

battery replacement rates are supposed to increase over time 11

119877119903119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198770 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 12

With R0 being the average replacement rate in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years 13

and b an exponent lt 1 At present there is no data available to fit the parameters Parameters 14

were estimated based on the usage profile and load of different applications 15

2615 Modelling of system lifetimes (xEV ESS) 16

System lifetimes Ltsystem(t) were assumed to be constant Ltsystem(t)= Ltsystem Parameters were 17

estimated based on manufacturer statements and typical lifetimes for combustion powered 18

vehicles 19

2616 Calculation of battery replacements 20

Battery replacements RpBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 21

calculated by assuming a uniform distribution of battery replacements over the lifetime 22

Ltsystem(i) of battery systems installed in year i 23

119877119901119861119886119905119905(119905) = sum119877119903119861119886119905119905(119894) times 119878119886119901119901(119894) times 119864119861119886119905119905(119894)

24

2617 Calculation of battery decommissions 25

Battery decommissions DcBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 26

assumed to happen coincident with the end of life of the systems (Ltsystem) they were installed 27

in in year i This neglects any second life usage in t gt i It was assumed that xEV or ESS 28

manufacturers will tune the battery lifetime to match the system lifetime (see 2614) 29

2618 Calculation of yearly installed battery capacity 31

The yearly installed battery capacity Sbapp(t) in the EU28 was calculated as 32

119878119887119886119901119901(119905) = 119878119886119901119901(119905) times 119864119886119901119901119861119886119905119905(119905) + 119877119901119886119901119901

other electric accumulators [2] 5

Hence it can be assumed that the data presented in the PRODCOM database meets the right 6

magnitude Due to the aggregation of battery technologies the consumption value of LIB alone 7

can however not be assessed by this data Furthermore the large price spread for LIB and 8

the dynamic development of prices does not allow to reliably conclude on the demand of 9

battery capacity (GWh) An assessment of market development and installed LIB stock in 10

Europe is given in section 22 and 23 based on other data sources 11

LIB cells as gathered in category 27202300 are only one of the subunits of battery systems 13

in different PRODCOM categories 15

Figure 3 Figure 4 Figure 5 and Figure 6 show production import export and EU sales and 16

trade data for automatic circuit breakers as potential component of BMS EU consumption 17

values do not show a clear upward trend comparable to the values for battery technologies 18

Although an increase of export and import values can be observed no clear correlation with 19

the production of battery systems for xEV or stationary storage in Europe can be observed 20

We conclude that the analysis of individual storage system related PRODCOM categories 21

does not allow to assess the market development for complete battery systems 22

The objective is to compile market and stock data in physical units for the EU for each of the 11

product categories defined in Task 11 and for the stock (1990-2015) combined with a forecast 12

2020-2050 Therefore the following parameters need to be identified 13

for xEV battery systems for ESS) and corresponding battery capacity (MWh or GWh) 2

bull Replacement cycles and life time data This data is assumed to be strongly application 3

depending At present there is no comprehensive data available 4

2211 Useful data sources 5

Several market studies describing the present and future market situation for battery-based 6

applications exist Most of these studies have a global scope or focus on Asian countries due 7

to the structure of the battery market Comprehensive studies providing market data for the 8

EU and its member states are not known 9

To give an overview about stock and battery markets for the EU28 member states the 10

following bottom-up sources were utilized to give model estimations 11

bull Fraunhofer ISI in-house xEV database [3] The database has been developed in 2014 12

by Fraunhofer ISI and is updated since on an annual basis The last update was done 13

in November 2018 It covers global production and sales numbers for xEV models 14

broken down to countries as well as information on battery capacity and range of the 15

vehicles The database aggregates information provided by Marklines Co Ltd [4] the 16

European Alternative Fuels Observatory [5] the ev-sales blog [6] and other online 17

sources 18

bull Fraunhofer ISI in-house LIB database [7] The database covers information on the 19

major industrial players in the Li-ion business from materials to cell production The 20

development and location of production capacities is frequently updated Information 21

on performance and cost of commercially available battery cells as well as the meta 22

analysis of several studies providing forecasts on the respective developments are 23

also covered in the database Information is collected from several online sources and 24

available product data sheets 25

bull B3 corporation market studies B3 corporation provides topical market studies on xEV 26

ESS and material markets for Li-ion batteries The market data is updated on an 27

annual basis B3 studies have a global scope but occasionally also cover local 28

European markets 29

bull Additional market studies and databases as discussed in the following sections 30

222 Market stock and forecast for xEVs in Europe 31

As will be shown in section 23 the stock of installed medium or large-sized batteries in Europe 32

is strongly related to the diffusion of electric mobility In contrast to several Asian countries 33

xEV sales in Europe predominantly concern passenger cars Ebuses as well as light and 34

heavy commercial vehicles still do not play a major role in terms of installed capacity At 35

present the average energy content of a BEV passenger electric vehicle battery is higher than 36

40 kWh Small vehicles like the Renault Twizy feature a capacity of less than 10 kWh while 37

the models with highest capacity sold in EU28 countries approach the 100 kWh mark (Jaguar 38

iPace and Tesla Model X 90 kWh Tesla Model 3 73 kWh) The amount of battery capacity 39

installed in passenger PHEVs is about 10 kWh and has remained on a constant level over the 40

last years (see Figure 7) 41

2221 Production and sales of BEV 4

Figure 8 shows the number of produced BEVs [3] broken down to the production country from 5

2010 to 2018 A forecast until 2020 based on the average growth rates between 2016 and 6

2018 is shown in addition This production data is a measure for the demand of battery cells 7

in the individual EU28 countries 8

Germany France and the Netherlands lead the field of BEV producers in Europe On 9

European level an average yearly growth rate of over 40 can be observed It is expected 10

that the number of 150000 produced BEVs in 2018 will double in 2020 11

12

Figure 8 Production numbers for BEVs produced in EU28 countries and forecast until 2020 13

[3] 14

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

13

In contrast to the production data the sales numbers for BEV reflect the amount of installed 1

vehicle batteries in the individual EU28 countries It can be seen in Figure 9 that the proportion 2

among the EU28 countries in terms of sold vehicles is much more even as compared to the 3

production Germany France the United Kingdom and the Netherlands lead the market 4

however significant sales numbers can also be found in other countries The level and growth 5

rates of BEV sales is comparable to BEV production It should however be noted that there is 6

significant trade with other regions of the world eg BEV imports from KR (Hyundai) and JP 7

(Mitsubishi Nissan) and exports to North America (BMW Volkswagen) Hence the BEV 8

market can not be considered to be an internal market 9

Figure 9 Number of sold BEVs in EU28 member states and forecast until 2020 [3] 11

2222 Production and sales of PHEV 12

Similar to section 2221 production and sales numbers for PHEV resolved by country are 13

shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11 Although on a comparable level in terms of produced and 14

sold vehicles it must be emphasized that the contribution of PHEVs to the demand for battery 15

capacity is due to the smaller size of the battery much less than the demand generated by 16

BEVs At present the main production sites for PHEVs are located in Germany Due to 17

production sites for Audi (VW) and Volvo PHEVs Sweden and Slovakia also significantly 18

contribute to the production 19

The data presented in sections 2221 and 2222 was used as an input for a forecast model 10

on passenger PHEV and BEV as well as light and heavy commercial xEVs (see also [8] and 11

section 26) 12

It was assumed that extrapolated EU wide sales numbers and growth rates for passenger as 13

well as light vehicles [9] represent natural boundaries for the growth of xEV markets Logistic 14

growth functions (see setion 26) were used to model market diffusion Passenger BEV were 15

assumed to replace 75 of all passenger car sales in the long term Passenger PHEV were 16

assumed to be an initially faster growing transition technology which will partially be replaced 1

by BEV in the long term A passenger xEV lifetime of 12 years with battery replacement rates 2

of 15 per lifetime were assumed For commercial vehicles a lifetime of 9 years and 3

replacement rate of 25 and a lifetime of 12 years and battery replacement rate of 80 were 4

assumed for light and heavy vehicles respectively The assumption for the market model is 5

223 Market stock and forecast for ESS in Europe 3

As discussed in Task 1 several stationary applications for batteries exist ranging from grid 4

support to home storage As will be shown in section 23 the demand for battery capacity 5

generated by ESS applications at present is rather small as compared to 3C and motive 6

markets There is no systematic registration of large scale or small scale stationary storage 7

systems in the EU Hence the market stock and volume for respective applications can only 8

be estimated based on indirect data 9

2231 Photovoltaic installations in the EU 10

Energy storage systems in combination with photovoltaic installations are one major 11

application for batteries both for private as well as commercial purposes Due to changes in 12

reimbursement and subsidy policy as well as the physical capability of the energy system to 13

buffer and process high shares of renewable energy the use of local energy storage systems 14

is becoming more and more popular There is no data on the share of PV installations 15

equipped with an energy storage system for the EU However on regional level some data is 16

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

20

available According to [10] approximately half of the PV systems with a peak power below 1

30 kW installed in Germany in 2017 have been equipped with an energy storage option 2

(amounting to about 30000 storage systems with a cumulative capacity of 400 MWh) 3

At present the installation of storage systems is strongly coupled to new installations of PV 4

systems As shown in Figure 16 with data on Germany the retrofit of existing PV installations 5

with storage systems is however expected to contribute significantly to the demand for battery 6

capacity in the PV segment in the future Within the forecast shown 50 of the sold storage 7

systems might be integrated into already existing PV-systems in 2030 8

9

Figure 16 PV installations and retrofit of existing PV installations in Germany Data and image 10

taken from [11] 11

Figure 17 shows the yearly installed PV power (MW) in the EU28 [12] A boom of PV 12

installations can clearly be observed for the years 2010 to 2012 mainly driven by installations 13

in Germany and Italy Likely as a result of changing subsidy policies the yearly installed PV 14

power has since then steadily decreased in both countries On the other hand a steady 15

increase in installations can be observed for the Netherlands and the UK In the forecast model 16

applied in [12] a slight increase in new installations is expected until 2021 driven by 17

installations in the UK and Portugal as well as member countries which so far do not have 18

any considerable PV installations Due to decreasing costs for solar panels and rather stable 19

remuneration rates this upward trend seems to be justified 20

Figure 17 PV installations in EU28 countries and forecast until 2020 Data taken from [12] 2

Based on the data given in [10] for Germany 80 of the installed PV systems can be attributed 3

to small or medium sized installations (average of 10 kWp) directly feeding into the low-voltage 4

grid In terms of power these systems amount to about 30 of the installations If equipped 5

with an energy storage system the average battery capacity amounts to 8 to 10 kWh [13] 6

Concerning installations in Europe it can be argued that there is a trend towards smaller roof-7

top systems for more densely populated and less sunny regions while in particular in the 8

southern European countries larger solar parks are favored Since no comprehensive data 9

covering the whole EU is available only a rough estimation for the demand of battery storage 10

systems and capacity can be made 11

Assuming that the number of smaller roof-top installations (30 of power) as well as the 12

number of systems equipped with an ESS (50 of installations lt 30 kWp) is above average 13

for Germany as compared to the rest of the EU the market data and forecasts given in [12] 14

and [11] would lead to a demand for battery capacity as summarized in Table 5 15

2232 Wind Turbine installations in the EU 5

Similar to section 2231 for PV installations Figure 18 shows data and forecasts for wind 6

turbine power installations in the EU28 [12] In contrast to PV installations wind turbine power 7

is almost exclusively attributed to larger scale wind parks We conclude that the use of small 8

scale ESS for the optimization of private energy consumption is therefore not driven by wind 9

power installations 10

Still the ongoing installation of wind turbine power in the EU28 might become a driver for large 11

scale decentralized energy storage systems however there is no market data available which 12

would allow for a battery demand forecast 13

2233 Large battery ESS projects 5

the world Figure 19 shows the cumulated storage capacity (installed stock) for the EU28 Of 7

the 450 MWh installed until 2018 in total 340 MWh were installed in Germany and 80 MWh 8

in the UK Since this is not an exhaustive list it can be considered as lower boundary for the 9

installed stock 10

Figure 19 Installed ESS capacity (stock) in large scale projects in EU28 A ratio of 11 with 2

respect to installed power and installed energy content (capacity) was assumed [14] 3

Table 6 lists larger scale (~MWh) stationary storage systems installed in the EU in 2017 [12] 4

80 of these installations are categorized as substation storage 6 relates to frequency 5

stabilization 5 to storage of wind-generated energy and 1 to storage of PV-generated 6

energy 7

Note that most of these installations are prototype or test facilities which does not allow to 8

use this application share as template for future market developments The total installed 9

capacity of 340 MWh in 2017 suggests that the market volume of large scale ESS is of the 10

same order of magnitude as that of home storage Note that the installed capacity for 2017 in 11

[14] is only 65 MWh It is however not stated in [12] whether the listed ESS projects are still in 12

2234 Forecast ESS sales and stock EU28 2

The data presented in sections 2231 2232 and 2233 was used as an input for a forecast 3

model on large scale and home ESS 4

EU wide sales numbers and growth rates for PV coupled home storage systems were 5

extrapolated with declining growth rates for 2035 and beyond With respect to large scale ESS 6

it was assumed that the generation of electricity by renewable sources exceeding 17 (2015 7

value [15]) of the total electricity generation necessitates a certain amount of ESS buffer 8

capacity EU 2020 and 2030 targets [16 17] for the share of renewable electricity generation 9

were used as a forecast model The buffer capacity demand was estimated to be 70 of the 10

daily electrical energy generated by renewables exceeding the share of 17 11

A lifetime of 20 years with a replacement rate of 10 was assumed for home ESS and a 12

lifetime of 20 years with a battery replacement rate of 80 within this lifetime was assumed 13

for large scale ESS System capacities were modelled by a power law based on present-day 14

values The assumptions for the market model are summarized in Table 7 and Table 8 and 15

shall be subject to discussion during the stakeholder meeting 16

224 Summary of the market sales forecast and estimation of the future 1

and past stock 2

As shown in sections 222 and 223 several drivers exist for the application of battery storage 3

systems in stationary and motive applications While the demand for battery capacity 4

generated by BEV and PHEV passenger cars was on the level of several GWh for 2017 the 5

ESS markets might still be below the 1 GWh mark in the EU 6

With respect to the increase of average battery capacity installed in different applications (see 7

Figure 22) and the growth rates for the sales of xEV and ESS (see sections 2223 and 8

2232) forecasts for the total new installations (including replacements) of batteries in the 9

EU28 are shown in Figure 23 See annex for further comments 10

11

Figure 22 Average system battery energy (kWh or MWh) forecast 12

It can be expected that the demand generated by sales and replacements in the EU28 will 13

amount to about 20 GWh by 2020 100 GWh by 2025 and more than 400 GWh by 2030 14

most recent market reports (eg [18ndash27]) Step by step the regional markets and markets by 8

applications will be specified 9

232 Market drivers and CO2 legislation [28] 10

Climate and energy policies are main drivers for the energy future and are expected to lead to 11

an increasing demand for energy storage in the mid and long term (see Figure 24) According 12

to the European Unionacutes decarbonization objective a reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) 13

emissions to 80 ndash 95 below 1990 levels should be achieved by 2050 14

In particular for the transport sector no full decarbonization is achieved [29] even in the longer 15

term (other sectors have to compensate with higher GHG reductions) The overall reduction 16

achieved in the transport sector by 2050 is only around 60 below 1990 levels The 17

increasing trend in emissions seen over the past 20 years is expected to reverse by the CO2 18

legislation From 2020 on the fleet average to be achieved by all new cars is 95 grams of CO2 19

per kilometer (compared to 130 gkm in 2015) 20

Many other governments world-wide have specified CO2 emission targets and are striving 21

towards a low carbon economy Particularly in the field of passenger and commercial vehicles 22

fuel consumption and emission targets have been installed which significantly drive the 23

introduction of battery or fuel cell powered electric vehicles Among these emission policies 24

the targets set by the EU are among the most ambitious (see Table 11) Meeting them will 25

require a significant share of electric vehicles 26

Table 11 Overview about fuel consumption and CO2-emission targets for passenger vehicles 1

of the EU and other countries leading battery and electric mobility markets [30] 2

In this context electric mobility is gaining importance since electric vehicles especially plug-3

in hybrid and pure battery electric vehicles can help to achieve or fulfill these limits due to 4

improved CO2 footprints compared to conventional cars However for low CO2 footprints over 5

the lifetime of electric cars a high share of ldquolow carbonrdquo renewable energy sources (RES) in 6

the energy mix is needed and important (Figure 24 left side) 7

8

Figure 24 Climate and energy policies as drivers for future energy storage demand [28] 9

The EU Energy Roadmap 2050 [31 32] has shown across six scenarios that the 10

decarbonization goal can be achieved if the share of renewable energy sources (RES) among 11

the power generation capacity is high (gt 60 until 2050) for all scenarios Especially for the 12

high RES scenario the share of fluctuating energy generation (wind photovoltaic ndash PV) is the 13

strongest which has to be balanced Grid expansion andor flexibilization measures (eg 14

demand side management power to gas and vehicle to grid besides stationary battery 15

storage) are potential solutions Thus the high RES scenario is the most interesting scenario 16

with respect to a potential future demand for energy storage solutions (ESS) on local 17

distribution and transmission grid levels (Figure 24 right side) In order to have a significant 18

GHG reduction with EVs it will also be important to achieve the RES targets 19

233 The developing battery market 1

The total annual battery market is currently on the level of 45-60 billion Euro representing 2

approximately 400-500 GWh (including Lead-acid Lithium-Ion and other batteries) [33] 3

Lithium-ion batteries (LIB) have succeeded because of their high gravimetric and volumetric 4

energy densities and have a market share of about a third in terms of value among the whole 5

battery market The growth is driven by the decreasing cell costs of less than 170 eurokWh for a 6

standard cylindrical cell (lowest prices) approaching the 90 eurokWh mark in the next years This 7

cost degression is due to increasing capacity demand and production and thus due to scale 8

effects 9

Although the LIB market is drastically growing with annual growth rates of up to 30 percent 10

on average (in terms of battery capacity demand) the dominating battery technology in terms 11

of capacity however are still lead-acid batteries representing about 90 percent of the global 12

demand in volume around 2010 and 80 percent in 2017 13

14

15

Figure 25 Historical development of the global battery demand in GWh (left axis for NiCd 16

NiMH right axis for all other battery types grey total battery demand) [34] 17

Other mature battery technologies like NiCd (still partly used in power tools) and NiMH (still 18

used in hybrid electric vehicles HEV) are slowly declining and are expected to disappear from 19

the market in the next decade The diversification of future battery applications however will 20

also broaden the range of battery technologies Emerging technologies like Na-based Metal-21

Sulfur or Redox Flow batteries are developing and may lead to attractive solutions eg with 22

respect to cost and resource availability advantages However due to very strict requirements 23

on volumetric energy densities these technologies are expected to be relevant for stationary 24

or other special markets and less for the most significant electric vehicle market In general 25

each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses and none of them can satisfy all user 26

demands Hence a broader application-specific technology portfolio is urgently needed in 27

order to provide alternative technology solutions in the future 28

The extremely dynamic development of the global LIB demand will lead to the TWh level latest 29

around 2030 and grow further after 2030 Thus LIB will very soon transform into the 30

dominating energy storage technology 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

34

Figure 26 shows three different scenarios for the global demand for LIB between 2010 and 1

2030 (green curves) along with global production capacities (orange and blue curve)[33] 2

While at the beginning of the decade the demand and sales numbers followed the medium 3

growth rate trend scenario the market has been approaching the high growth rate scenario in 4

the last years This is mainly due to the strong engagement of politics and respective 5

regulation and subsidy programs for electric mobility As can be seen from the graph the 6

share of demand generated by motive applications is expected to significantly grow in the next 7

years and might account for more than one third of the total LIB demand by 2025 8

To face this increasing demand for LIB cells accordingly production capacities need to be 9

build up in the near future Based on the currently existing cell production capacities and the 10

global announcements from established and new cell producers until 2025 the LIB cell 11

production capacities (blue line in 12

Figure 26) have been identified Compared to 15 GWh added production capacity between 13

2013 and 2016 in the next years around 50 GWh will be added annually leading to around 14

700 GWh production capacities until 2025 (in the optimistic case see blue line in 15

Figure 26) The announcements include established players such as Panasonic (JP) LG 16

Chem (KR) Samsung (KR) SKI (KR) BYD (CN) Lishen (CN) CATL (CN) CALB (CN) 17

OPTIMUM (CN) and several further Chinese cell producers Also new players such as TerraE 18

(DE) Northvolt (SW) Boston Energy (US AU) Energy Absolute (Thailand) are included 19

while accounting for the different stages of expansion [20 27] 20

234 Battery markets by application 23

Diversification of applications for batteries 24

The above described global developments of battery demand and production strongly concern 25

high-energy lithium-ion batteries with the cell chemistries NMC NCA (Ni-rich and Co-reduced 26

cathodes) and SiC (high capacity SiC anodes with 5-10 or higher Si content) and cell 27

formats cylindrical (eg larger 21700 compared to standard 18650) large pouch or prismatic 28

cells The target is to develop and produce cells with improved gravimetric and volumetric 29

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

35

energy densities and reduced costs in order to meet the requirements of the automotive 1

industry Electric passenger cars are driving the demand and thus development of the battery 2

technology and these optimized and cost reduced batteries define the benchmark today and 3

in the future 4

LIB demand by applications 5

In Figure 27 the global LIB demand is broken down to the three main sectors for battery 6

demand which can be characterised each having different profiles of requirement 7

bull electric mobility or electric vehicles (EV including eg passenger cars light 8

commercial vehicles buses trucks scooters ebikes etc) 9

bull stationary energy storage systems (ESS) and 10

bull portable devices (3C ndash Computer Communication Consumer) 11

The LIB cell demand developed to almost 25 GWh in 2010 since the market introduction in 12

the early 1990s and dominantly resulted from portable devices In 2015 the cell demand of 13

about 70 GWh was distributed already almost 5050 between 3C and EV applications 14

15

Figure 27 Global LIB demand (in GWh and share in ) by segment [34] 16

Since 2015 the global LIB demand has increased with compound annual growth rates 17

(CAGR) of ~25 from about 70 GWh to about 110 GWh in 2017 The market for electric 18

vehicles currently grows with 30-40 (and more depending on the application and region) and 19

a diversification in applications (eg buses trucks other light to heavy commercial vehicles 20

marine applications drones etc) can be observed 21

With the diversification of future markets and applications cost sensitive markets will arise for 22

which optimized high-energy and cost reduced automotive cells of certain cell formats will be 23

used However also applications with stronger requirements on long lifetime high cycleability 24

fast charging capability safety etc will emerge and diffuse where cost is not the most 25

relevant factor and other battery technologies (ie cell chemistries formats) can provide a 26

unique selling proposition and hence lead to a product differentiation 27

2341 LIB markets for 3C applications 28

Portable devices (3C) have been the main applications for LIB cells in the past Power tools 29

medical devices and wearables are expected to be products with an emerging future market 30

for small LIB cells but with enormous quantities The price per kWh that can be stored plays a 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

36

less important role for these applications As far as charging is concerned technologies such 1

as energy harvesting and wireless charging are expected to be introduced in the future For 2

many markets and products such as household devices garden cleaning power tools other 3

mobile leisure applications etc today mostly cylindrical LIB cells of the format 18650 are used 4

With the introduction of 21700 cells also larger cylindrical cells become available now and are 5

expected to be used in diffuse in such applications Although different specific cell chemistries 6

might be suitable depending on the concrete application again it can be stated that the 3C 7

segment is expected to lead to a comparably small battery capacity demand compared to the 8

EV segment and will not be the limiting segment with respect to the risk of resource 9

dependencies 10

In the next few years growth rates of about 5 to 10 percent are expected for the 3C markets 11

while laptop battery demand is developing at lower growth rates and power tools medical 12

devices etc are supporting the growth rates for the battery demand 13

14

15

Figure 28 Demand and growth of the 3C LIB market [34] 16

2342 LIB markets for stationary (ESS) applications 17

Stationary energy storage systems (ESS) can be divided into different size classes with regard 18

to the capacity and charging times Both together decide on the application area (eg small 19

PV storage at home peak load to long-term storage) [35] Beyond that the price per kWh put 20

through over the lifetime is the economic key factor (as synthesized by the LCOE levelized 21

cost of energy) In contrast gravimetric and volumetric energy density plays a subordinate 22

role Due to that lead-acid batteries were often used as storage technology for off- and on-23

grid storage Currently LIBs are being established for commercial use and meanwhile reach 24

an annual demand of some few GWh Other electrochemical storage technologies such as 25

sodium-sulfur batteries are still used but the demand for LIB is strongly increasing for ESS It 26

is expected that 2nd life concepts for batteries that had their first life in electric vehicles will 27

gain importance together with market diffusion in the EV segment as the requirements on the 28

batteries are less demanding in the ESS segment This however will require the development 29

of according business models standardization etc The much broader available technology 30

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

37

portfolio for ESS applications the use of 2nd life batteries and the fact that electric vehicle 1

batteries that are connected to the grid on a large scale with higher market diffusion can be 2

regarded as stationary storage systems as well (vehicle to grid V2G grid to vehicle G2V) help 3

to reduce the risk of technological and resource dependencies in the future 4

The market for stationary storage applications (ESS) is experiencing growth rates of 20 to 30 5

percent depending on individual market forecasts (in the last years CAGR have even been on 6

the level of 60 but decrease with increasing size of the market see Figure 29) 7

The market is currently on a level of few GWh including applications from smaller PV storage 8

systems of 5-10 kWh to larger industrial and grid connected installations for own power 9

consumption peak shaving etc on the MWh level Regarding these growth rates LIB for ESS 10

applications rapidly gain importance as de-central storage solutions compared to the currently 11

dominating central pumped hydro storage (PHS) Forecasts to 2025 differ by size and expect 12

an ESS LIB demand between 20-50 GWh (partially higher eg in [23]) but all forecasts identify 13

high growth rates 14

15

Figure 29 Demand and growth of the ESS LIB market [34] 16

17

2343 LIB markets for electric vehicle applications 18

One of the biggest challenges for batteries for electric vehicles (EV including electric cars 19

buses trucks etc) apart from their price is the increase of their volumetric and gravimetric 20

energy density The volumetric energy density is even more important for OEM due to 21

restricted and fixed space and location of the battery in an electric vehicle A very relevant 22

parameter of a battery is its charging and discharging power in particular in continuous 23

operation It determines the fast-charging capability which is an important argument in the 24

use and the establishment on the market At the same time this sets limits to the high-25

performance operation since energy consumption is reduced to protect the battery from 26

damage This illustrates the conflicting effect of different parameters on the battery lifetime 27

Price volume weight and thus charge density as well as chargedischarge rate in terms of 28

usage and durability are the most urgent challenges for battery manufacturers 29

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

38

The market for EV batteries is currently at the level of about 50 GWh (including electric 1

passenger cars busses trucks ebikes scooter forklifts etc) Growth rates are at 20 to 40 2

percent and the demand for EV batteries will lead to a share of about 66 percent in 2020 76 3

percent until 2025 and 80 percent or higher in the long term Electric passenger cars (BEV 4

and PHEV) define the by far largest market within the EV segment and are clearly driving the 5

technology development of high energy Lithium-Ion or Lithium-based batteries in the future 6

7

Figure 30 Demand and growth of the EV LIB market [34] 8

9

Other motive (or stationary or portable) markets applications besides the highly competitive 10

electric passenger cars therefore can offer interesting growth markets also for smaller cell 11

producers beyond the large Japanese Korean and Chinese cell producers These markets or 12

applications very often define concrete requirements for the battery performance they require 13

an in depth understanding and design from the cell chemistry format to the modulepack and 14

system integration and they still vary strongly by region and are connected to individual system 15

integrators or OEM This is because each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses 16

and none of them can satisfy all userapplication demands Hence a broader application 17

specific technology portfolio is even urgently needed in order to provide alternative individual 18

technology solutions for these emerging marketsapplications 19

20

235 Market channels and production structure 21

2351 Global production capacities and major players 22

Since their commercialization in the 1990s LIB have been predominantly produced by 23

Japanese and Korean companies Driven by the Chinese government particularly cell 24

producers but also companies covering other steps of the LIB value creation chain have been 25

established in China Due to a policy of simultaneous support for LIB production as well as for 26

application markets and due to an extensive subsidy scheme a large share of LIB production 27

capacities is located in China today 28

Figure 31 Figure 32 Figure 33 and Figure 34 show the global LIB production capacities of 29

major cell producers in 2018 as well as forecasts for 2020 2025 and 2030 respectively [36] 30

The data is based on announcements made by the cell producers As discussed in section 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

39

233 the actual time-frame for the implementation of the capacity expansions is often delayed 1

with respect to the original announcements Hence minimum and maximum values for the 2

production capacities are given 3

Figure 34 Global LIB production capacities of major cell producers in 2030 [36] 2

Until 2030 the announced production capacities add up to more than 1 TWh In total there 3

are about 30 cell producers which have announced to build up production capacities of more 4

than 10 GWhyear which can be considered to be a threshold in order to be able to produce 5

at competitve costs [36] If the announced capacities are fully utilized the ldquobig 4rdquo (Panasonic 6

CATL LGC and BYD) will be able to fully cover the market demand (gt550 GWh) until 2025 7

2352 Europes position in the global battery value chain 8

In the EU several actors are positioned which cover production steps along the whole value 9

chain of LIBs starting from raw material production to production of cells and systems and 10

finally recycling However with respect to global markets only few organizations within the EU 11

have a market share of more than 1 in their specific segment eg BASF Germany in the 12

field of electrolyte production [30] 13

An overview about existing and active companies is given by the European Battery Alliance 14

(see Figure 35) Due to the presence of strong automotive OEM LIB pack manufacturing and 15

system integration is taking place on large scale in Europe A particular gap in the value chain 16

is present due to the lack of a large-scale cell production capable of serving the volumes and 17

prices required by the automotive industry 18

Several consortia are currently attempting to build up a European large scale cell 4

manufacturing such as Nothvolt (Sweden) with 32 GWh until 2023 or Saft (together with 5

Siemens and Manz) [39] Recently the German government announced plans for funding of 6

a Batterie-Cell-Alliance between Germany and Poland with cell production capacities in the 7

Regions Lausitz (Germany) and Westpoland [40 41] At the cross section between RampD and 8

large-scale production also a Research Production with 600 Mio EUR funding is foreseen 9

whereas the Fraunhofer Society should coordinate and run such a research production [42] 10

The announced funding from the German government sums up to 2 bn EUR 11

Given all these announced investments and production capacities to build up in the next years 12

the cell production capacities of European cell manufacturers could sum up to over 40 GWh 13

beyond 2025 In contrast main Asian cell manufacturer have already started with cell 14

production (eg LG SDI) or plan to build up production capacities until 2020 to 2025 In 15

concrete there are plans from [43ndash51] 16

17

bull CATL (China) to build 14 GWh in Germany Erfurt beyond 2020 18

bull LG Chem (Japan) to build 15 to 24 GWh (for 03 Mio EVs) in Poland beyond 2020 19

bull Samsung SDI (Japan) to build 10 to 15 GWh beyond 2020 in Hungary (including a 20

recent 5 GWh announcement for 21700 cells for Land Rover 21

bull SK Innovation (Japan) to build 75 GWh in Hungary beyond 2020 22

bull PanasonicTesla to build a (assumed 35GWh) Gigafactory in Europa around 2025 23

bull as well as from BYD (China) GS Yuasa (Japan) and Farasis (US) to build production 24

capacities between 2020 and 2025 25

26

The production capacities from Asian (or non-European) cell manufacturer might sum up to 27

well above 82-96 GWh by 2025 and including BYD GS Yuasa Farasis etc capacities far 28

above 100 GWh can be expected Together with the new EU cell producers this could easily 29

sum up towards the above mentioned 200 GWh demand in Europe But it also clearly indicates 30

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

44

the competition the emerging European players have to face (besides the fact that the plans 1

of the Asian companies are expected to be realized already several years earlier as those of 2

the novel EU companies) 3

2353 Product design trends and technological roadmap 4

Concerning the battery technology or type (by chemistry format etc) which will most likely 5

be produced to address this increasing demand the global roadmaps of cell producers are 6

basically similar Based on state-of-the art cell design (eg LFP NCA based ldquogeneration 1rdquo 7

and NMC111 to NMC532 ldquogeneration 2abrdquo Li-ion batteries) [52] and state-of-the-art 8

production equipment incremental improvements are expected in the next few years but with 9

the target to get to higher-energy lithium-ion batteries Concerning the electrolytes still liquid 10

electrolytes will be used but adopted to the changing electrode materials (eg with additives) 11

Current trends for layered oxide cathodes describe the development of Ni-rich (Co reduced) 12

materials (NMC) A few cell producers are already using NMC811 or comparable cathode 13

materials others are still adopting NMC622 (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3ardquo) On cathode 14

side maybe even lower-cost Mn-rich High Energy NMCs (HE-NMC) might be realized and 15

produced within ~10 years as Mn is cheaper than Ni (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3brdquo) On 16

anode side the trend is to incorporate Si-nano particles to make use of the alloying reaction 17

between Si and Li yielding a high capacitance This however comes at the cost of cycle life 18

Further down the road we might see higher Si contents (~20) 19

20

All-solid-state batteries are on the roadmap of many battery producers but also OEM (also 21

referred to as ldquogeneration 4rdquo) The key performance parameters (KPI) are suitable for electric 22

mobility (EV) Main challenges are indeed manufacturability particularly for ceramic solid state 23

electrolytes which promise to yield the highest advantages over state of the art technologies 24

The market introduction in niche applications is expected possible prior to the use in 25

automotive applications First all-solid-state batteries might not be competitive in terms of 26

energy density but safety properties Later on energy densities of 350-400 Whkg and higher 27

are expected 28

Li-ion batteries but (according to the current level of knowledge) do not reach the necessary 5

KPIs in terms of energy density power density and cycling stability necessary for electric 6

mobility (these are marked in grey) USPs of these technologies can be cost resource 7

availability either volumetric or gravimetric energy density or others But often even 8

fundamental challenges are not solved yet (eg concerning the stability of materials and 9

24 Consumer expenditure base data 2

241 General objective of subtask 24 and approach 3

Subtask 24 gives an overview about average production costs and consumer prices incl 4

VAT (for consumer prices streetprice) excl VAT (for B2B products) as well as an estimation 5

of repair and maintenance as well as installation and disposal costs 6

Due to their recent larger scale market introduction there is still little experience with 7

maintenance as well as disposal expenses Hence only estimations can be made based on 8

isolated sources 9

242 Development of LIB cell costs 10

As the core of LIB based energy storage systems the battery cell exhibits the highest cost 11

share During the last years particularly standardized 18650 format LIB cells have 12

experienced a steep cost learning curve benefiting from production scale effects but also 13

from technological advancements on material level increasing the energy density per volume 14

and weight and decreasing the amount of cost intense Cobalt-based components Compared 15

to this benchmark larger format LIB cells (Pouch prismatic) as are utilized in xEVs and ESS 16

predominantly feature lower energy densities at higher cost per kWh There are however no 17

principal limitations which would prevent a performance and cost development similar to what 18

was observed for cylindrical cells Figure 39 shows the cost learning curves for cylindrical as 19

well as larger format LIB cells [33] Today average costs for cells suitable for automotive use 20

are below 150 eurokWh (cylindrical) and around 200 eurokWh (Pouchprismatic) In specific cases 21

prices around 100 eurokWh have been reported already [53] It should however be noted that 22

with the current market situation LIB prices being below costs are not unlikely to occur 23

Until 2025 production costs of the different cell formats are expected to approach and fall 24

below the mark of 100 eurokWh between 2020 and 2025 Taking further developments on 25

material level into account costs around 60-100 eurokWh seam feasible past 2025 26

Figure 39 Cost learning curves for large LIB cells (cylindrical and Pouchprismatic) [33] 3

Similar cost learning curves have been observed for other battery technologies (see Figure 4

40) In principal cost degression can be limited by demand (compare NiCd) or by reaching 5

material cost limits (compare Pb) Also the diffusion of battery technologies in new markets 6

or applications can lead to further technological improvements and justify higher production 7

costs (compare deviation of NiMH Pb) Following the available data for LIB cells approx 100 8

$kWh (~89 eurokWh) are reached at a cumulative yearly production of 1TWh This mark is 9

expected to be reached between 2020 and 2030 10

Beyond 2030 LIB production costs are however expected to start deviating from this curve 11

due to limiting raw material prices 12

2432 ESS 7

According to recent end-customer price data provided in [55] for 2018 typical consumer prices 8

for small scale (~10 kWh) stationary home storage systems are between 5000 and 15000 9

Euros leading to a relative price of 800 to 1200 eurokWh It is expected that these system prices 10

will benefit from the growing battery markets (also xEV) since similar LIB cell types can be 11

applied in both application areas With respect to inverters and other system related costs the 12

smaller market volume of home ESS indicates lower economy of scale effects as compared 13

to cells 14

So far no comprehensive information on repair and maintenance costs for the battery system 17

Three main scenarios possible after end of 1st life (xEV) 10

1 Disposal of batteries (eg separation of liquid and solid components hazardous waste 11

disposal) 12

2 Recycling of batteries and direct regeneration and re-use of cathode materials (2a) or 13

recovery of metals (2b) 14

3 2nd life in ESS applications under limited load (low DOD cycling low power) 15

16

Scenario 1 will add another component to battery costs scenario 2 and 3 could significantly 17

decrease the cost of batteries if energy efficient recycling methods can be developed or viable 18

2nd life business models are established 19

26 Annex 1

2611 Modelling of addressable markets for electric applications 2

Vehicle markets (in units of registrations in the EU28 per year) and ESS markets (in units of 3

number of installed home PV systems or in units of overall renewable (PV wind) electricity 4

generation in the EU28 per year) were modelled by exponential functions 5

119872119905119886119901119901(119905) = 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 6

With Mtapp(t) being the total market volume of an application M0 the market size in 2015 and 7

120591 times 119871119899(2) the time t necessary to double the initial market volume M0 M0 and Tau were chosen 8

to fit existing market data 9

119872119886119901119901(119905) = 119888 times 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 10

With Mapp(t) being the addressable market and c a factor equal or smaller than 1 Parameter 11

c lt 1 was chosen to take into account that not the whole existing market Mtapp might be 12

addressable by electric technologies Eg a share of vehicles primarily used for long distance 13

travel might not be addressable by BEV but by PHEV only 14

The market addressable for passenger PHEV (as a transition technology on the path to full 15

electric vehicles) was modelled as the difference of total vehicle sales and BEV sales 16

119872119875119867119864119881(119905) = 119888 times 119872119905119901119886119904119904119890119899119892119890119903(119905) minus 119878119861119864119881(119905) 17

The market addressable for passenger BEV was modelled like Mapp(t) with c lt 1 18

2612 Modelling of sales numbers of xEV and ESS 19

Yearly sales numbers Sapp(t) for the different applications were modelled by logistic growth 20

functions Logistic functions can model diffusion of technologies into existing markets with a 21

given market volume M The market volume can be a moving target M = M(t) The relative 22

change of sales numbers Srsquoapp(t)Sapp(t) is proportional to the market volume not yet 23

developed by a technology Mapp(t) ndash Sapp(t) 24

119878119886119901119901(119905) = 119872119886119901119901(119905) times1

1 + 119864119909119901(minus119872119886119901119901(119905) times (119905 minus 1199050)120591)(119872119886119901119901(119905)

119878119886119901119901(1199050)minus 1)

25

With Tau being a time constant and Sapp(t0) being the yearly sales number at year t0 (eg 26

2015) 27

Short time constants Tau of few years were used to model ESS sales Due to limitations of 28

the existing electricity grid to only buffer a certain share of fluctuating PV and wind generated 29

electricity the further expansion of renewable electricity generation might be strongly coupled 30

to ESS installations Hence ESS sales were modelled to closely follow the assumed 31

installations of renewable power in the limit of ldquovery fastrdquo market diffusion (120591 rarr 0) 32

2613 Modelling of battery system capacities 33

Battery capacities EBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws In 34

particular BEV battery capacities increased in the last years from 30 kWh in 2013 to more than 35

40 kWh in 2018 (EU sales and production averages) In the long term we expect BEV 36

capacities to converge towards a value sufficient to provide average driving ranges of some 37

100 km Battery capacity growth rates are hence supposed to slow down 38

119864119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198640 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 1

With E0 being the average battery capacity in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years and 2

b an exponent lt 1 The parameters were chosen to fit existing data 3

2614 Modelling of battery replacement rates 4

Battery replacement rates RrBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws 5

The replacement rate defines the share of batteries installed in year t that had to be replaced 6

within the lifetime of a system (xEV ESS) In particular for vehicles it is assumed that xEV 7

manufacturers currently install battery cells with a high lifetime and cyclability (several 8

thousand cycles) In the mid-term we expect that battery life and vehicle life (eg 200000 to 9

300000 km) will be matched by car manufacturers Assuming a constant vehicle lifetime 10

battery replacement rates are supposed to increase over time 11

119877119903119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198770 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 12

With R0 being the average replacement rate in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years 13

and b an exponent lt 1 At present there is no data available to fit the parameters Parameters 14

were estimated based on the usage profile and load of different applications 15

2615 Modelling of system lifetimes (xEV ESS) 16

System lifetimes Ltsystem(t) were assumed to be constant Ltsystem(t)= Ltsystem Parameters were 17

estimated based on manufacturer statements and typical lifetimes for combustion powered 18

vehicles 19

2616 Calculation of battery replacements 20

Battery replacements RpBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 21

calculated by assuming a uniform distribution of battery replacements over the lifetime 22

Ltsystem(i) of battery systems installed in year i 23

119877119901119861119886119905119905(119905) = sum119877119903119861119886119905119905(119894) times 119878119886119901119901(119894) times 119864119861119886119905119905(119894)

24

2617 Calculation of battery decommissions 25

Battery decommissions DcBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 26

assumed to happen coincident with the end of life of the systems (Ltsystem) they were installed 27

in in year i This neglects any second life usage in t gt i It was assumed that xEV or ESS 28

manufacturers will tune the battery lifetime to match the system lifetime (see 2614) 29

2618 Calculation of yearly installed battery capacity 31

The yearly installed battery capacity Sbapp(t) in the EU28 was calculated as 32

119878119887119886119901119901(119905) = 119878119886119901119901(119905) times 119864119886119901119901119861119886119905119905(119905) + 119877119901119886119901119901

The objective is to compile market and stock data in physical units for the EU for each of the 11

product categories defined in Task 11 and for the stock (1990-2015) combined with a forecast 12

2020-2050 Therefore the following parameters need to be identified 13

bull Market and installed stock assessment in units of number of systems (battery systems 1

for xEV battery systems for ESS) and corresponding battery capacity (MWh or GWh) 2

bull Replacement cycles and life time data This data is assumed to be strongly application 3

depending At present there is no comprehensive data available 4

2211 Useful data sources 5

Several market studies describing the present and future market situation for battery-based 6

applications exist Most of these studies have a global scope or focus on Asian countries due 7

to the structure of the battery market Comprehensive studies providing market data for the 8

EU and its member states are not known 9

To give an overview about stock and battery markets for the EU28 member states the 10

following bottom-up sources were utilized to give model estimations 11

bull Fraunhofer ISI in-house xEV database [3] The database has been developed in 2014 12

by Fraunhofer ISI and is updated since on an annual basis The last update was done 13

in November 2018 It covers global production and sales numbers for xEV models 14

broken down to countries as well as information on battery capacity and range of the 15

vehicles The database aggregates information provided by Marklines Co Ltd [4] the 16

European Alternative Fuels Observatory [5] the ev-sales blog [6] and other online 17

sources 18

bull Fraunhofer ISI in-house LIB database [7] The database covers information on the 19

major industrial players in the Li-ion business from materials to cell production The 20

development and location of production capacities is frequently updated Information 21

on performance and cost of commercially available battery cells as well as the meta 22

analysis of several studies providing forecasts on the respective developments are 23

also covered in the database Information is collected from several online sources and 24

available product data sheets 25

bull B3 corporation market studies B3 corporation provides topical market studies on xEV 26

ESS and material markets for Li-ion batteries The market data is updated on an 27

annual basis B3 studies have a global scope but occasionally also cover local 28

European markets 29

bull Additional market studies and databases as discussed in the following sections 30

222 Market stock and forecast for xEVs in Europe 31

As will be shown in section 23 the stock of installed medium or large-sized batteries in Europe 32

is strongly related to the diffusion of electric mobility In contrast to several Asian countries 33

xEV sales in Europe predominantly concern passenger cars Ebuses as well as light and 34

heavy commercial vehicles still do not play a major role in terms of installed capacity At 35

present the average energy content of a BEV passenger electric vehicle battery is higher than 36

40 kWh Small vehicles like the Renault Twizy feature a capacity of less than 10 kWh while 37

the models with highest capacity sold in EU28 countries approach the 100 kWh mark (Jaguar 38

iPace and Tesla Model X 90 kWh Tesla Model 3 73 kWh) The amount of battery capacity 39

installed in passenger PHEVs is about 10 kWh and has remained on a constant level over the 40

last years (see Figure 7) 41

2221 Production and sales of BEV 4

Figure 8 shows the number of produced BEVs [3] broken down to the production country from 5

2010 to 2018 A forecast until 2020 based on the average growth rates between 2016 and 6

2018 is shown in addition This production data is a measure for the demand of battery cells 7

in the individual EU28 countries 8

Germany France and the Netherlands lead the field of BEV producers in Europe On 9

European level an average yearly growth rate of over 40 can be observed It is expected 10

that the number of 150000 produced BEVs in 2018 will double in 2020 11

12

Figure 8 Production numbers for BEVs produced in EU28 countries and forecast until 2020 13

[3] 14

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

13

In contrast to the production data the sales numbers for BEV reflect the amount of installed 1

vehicle batteries in the individual EU28 countries It can be seen in Figure 9 that the proportion 2

among the EU28 countries in terms of sold vehicles is much more even as compared to the 3

production Germany France the United Kingdom and the Netherlands lead the market 4

however significant sales numbers can also be found in other countries The level and growth 5

rates of BEV sales is comparable to BEV production It should however be noted that there is 6

significant trade with other regions of the world eg BEV imports from KR (Hyundai) and JP 7

Similar to section 2221 production and sales numbers for PHEV resolved by country are 13

shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11 Although on a comparable level in terms of produced and 14

sold vehicles it must be emphasized that the contribution of PHEVs to the demand for battery 15

capacity is due to the smaller size of the battery much less than the demand generated by 16

BEVs At present the main production sites for PHEVs are located in Germany Due to 17

production sites for Audi (VW) and Volvo PHEVs Sweden and Slovakia also significantly 18

contribute to the production 19

on passenger PHEV and BEV as well as light and heavy commercial xEVs (see also [8] and 11

section 26) 12

It was assumed that extrapolated EU wide sales numbers and growth rates for passenger as 13

well as light vehicles [9] represent natural boundaries for the growth of xEV markets Logistic 14

by BEV in the long term A passenger xEV lifetime of 12 years with battery replacement rates 2

of 15 per lifetime were assumed For commercial vehicles a lifetime of 9 years and 3

replacement rate of 25 and a lifetime of 12 years and battery replacement rate of 80 were 4

223 Market stock and forecast for ESS in Europe 3

As discussed in Task 1 several stationary applications for batteries exist ranging from grid 4

support to home storage As will be shown in section 23 the demand for battery capacity 5

generated by ESS applications at present is rather small as compared to 3C and motive 6

markets There is no systematic registration of large scale or small scale stationary storage 7

systems in the EU Hence the market stock and volume for respective applications can only 8

be estimated based on indirect data 9

2231 Photovoltaic installations in the EU 10

Energy storage systems in combination with photovoltaic installations are one major 11

application for batteries both for private as well as commercial purposes Due to changes in 12

reimbursement and subsidy policy as well as the physical capability of the energy system to 13

buffer and process high shares of renewable energy the use of local energy storage systems 14

is becoming more and more popular There is no data on the share of PV installations 15

equipped with an energy storage system for the EU However on regional level some data is 16

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

20

available According to [10] approximately half of the PV systems with a peak power below 1

30 kW installed in Germany in 2017 have been equipped with an energy storage option 2

(amounting to about 30000 storage systems with a cumulative capacity of 400 MWh) 3

At present the installation of storage systems is strongly coupled to new installations of PV 4

systems As shown in Figure 16 with data on Germany the retrofit of existing PV installations 5

with storage systems is however expected to contribute significantly to the demand for battery 6

capacity in the PV segment in the future Within the forecast shown 50 of the sold storage 7

systems might be integrated into already existing PV-systems in 2030 8

Figure 16 PV installations and retrofit of existing PV installations in Germany Data and image 10

taken from [11] 11

Figure 17 shows the yearly installed PV power (MW) in the EU28 [12] A boom of PV 12

installations can clearly be observed for the years 2010 to 2012 mainly driven by installations 13

in Germany and Italy Likely as a result of changing subsidy policies the yearly installed PV 14

power has since then steadily decreased in both countries On the other hand a steady 15

increase in installations can be observed for the Netherlands and the UK In the forecast model 16

applied in [12] a slight increase in new installations is expected until 2021 driven by 17

installations in the UK and Portugal as well as member countries which so far do not have 18

any considerable PV installations Due to decreasing costs for solar panels and rather stable 19

remuneration rates this upward trend seems to be justified 20

Figure 17 PV installations in EU28 countries and forecast until 2020 Data taken from [12] 2

Based on the data given in [10] for Germany 80 of the installed PV systems can be attributed 3

to small or medium sized installations (average of 10 kWp) directly feeding into the low-voltage 4

grid In terms of power these systems amount to about 30 of the installations If equipped 5

with an energy storage system the average battery capacity amounts to 8 to 10 kWh [13] 6

Concerning installations in Europe it can be argued that there is a trend towards smaller roof-7

top systems for more densely populated and less sunny regions while in particular in the 8

southern European countries larger solar parks are favored Since no comprehensive data 9

covering the whole EU is available only a rough estimation for the demand of battery storage 10

systems and capacity can be made 11

Assuming that the number of smaller roof-top installations (30 of power) as well as the 12

number of systems equipped with an ESS (50 of installations lt 30 kWp) is above average 13

for Germany as compared to the rest of the EU the market data and forecasts given in [12] 14

and [11] would lead to a demand for battery capacity as summarized in Table 5 15

2232 Wind Turbine installations in the EU 5

Similar to section 2231 for PV installations Figure 18 shows data and forecasts for wind 6

turbine power installations in the EU28 [12] In contrast to PV installations wind turbine power 7

is almost exclusively attributed to larger scale wind parks We conclude that the use of small 8

scale ESS for the optimization of private energy consumption is therefore not driven by wind 9

power installations 10

Still the ongoing installation of wind turbine power in the EU28 might become a driver for large 11

scale decentralized energy storage systems however there is no market data available which 12

would allow for a battery demand forecast 13

the 450 MWh installed until 2018 in total 340 MWh were installed in Germany and 80 MWh 8

80 of these installations are categorized as substation storage 6 relates to frequency 5

stabilization 5 to storage of wind-generated energy and 1 to storage of PV-generated 6

energy 7

Note that most of these installations are prototype or test facilities which does not allow to 8

use this application share as template for future market developments The total installed 9

capacity of 340 MWh in 2017 suggests that the market volume of large scale ESS is of the 10

same order of magnitude as that of home storage Note that the installed capacity for 2017 in 11

[14] is only 65 MWh It is however not stated in [12] whether the listed ESS projects are still in 12

2234 Forecast ESS sales and stock EU28 2

The data presented in sections 2231 2232 and 2233 was used as an input for a forecast 3

model on large scale and home ESS 4

EU wide sales numbers and growth rates for PV coupled home storage systems were 5

extrapolated with declining growth rates for 2035 and beyond With respect to large scale ESS 6

it was assumed that the generation of electricity by renewable sources exceeding 17 (2015 7

value [15]) of the total electricity generation necessitates a certain amount of ESS buffer 8

capacity EU 2020 and 2030 targets [16 17] for the share of renewable electricity generation 9

were used as a forecast model The buffer capacity demand was estimated to be 70 of the 10

daily electrical energy generated by renewables exceeding the share of 17 11

A lifetime of 20 years with a replacement rate of 10 was assumed for home ESS and a 12

lifetime of 20 years with a battery replacement rate of 80 within this lifetime was assumed 13

for large scale ESS System capacities were modelled by a power law based on present-day 14

values The assumptions for the market model are summarized in Table 7 and Table 8 and 15

224 Summary of the market sales forecast and estimation of the future 1

and past stock 2

As shown in sections 222 and 223 several drivers exist for the application of battery storage 3

systems in stationary and motive applications While the demand for battery capacity 4

generated by BEV and PHEV passenger cars was on the level of several GWh for 2017 the 5

ESS markets might still be below the 1 GWh mark in the EU 6

With respect to the increase of average battery capacity installed in different applications (see 7

Figure 22) and the growth rates for the sales of xEV and ESS (see sections 2223 and 8

2232) forecasts for the total new installations (including replacements) of batteries in the 9

EU28 are shown in Figure 23 See annex for further comments 10

11

Figure 22 Average system battery energy (kWh or MWh) forecast 12

It can be expected that the demand generated by sales and replacements in the EU28 will 13

amount to about 20 GWh by 2020 100 GWh by 2025 and more than 400 GWh by 2030 14

23 Market trends 3

231 General objective of subtask 23 and approach 4

The following chapter provides a comprehensive market overview on global battery sales 5

demand and players Starting with the market development of Lithium-ion batteries between 6

2010 to 2017 scenarios until 2025 to 2030 are presented including a meta-analysis of several 7

most recent market reports (eg [18ndash27]) Step by step the regional markets and markets by 8

applications will be specified 9

232 Market drivers and CO2 legislation [28] 10

Climate and energy policies are main drivers for the energy future and are expected to lead to 11

an increasing demand for energy storage in the mid and long term (see Figure 24) According 12

to the European Unionacutes decarbonization objective a reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) 13

emissions to 80 ndash 95 below 1990 levels should be achieved by 2050 14

In particular for the transport sector no full decarbonization is achieved [29] even in the longer 15

term (other sectors have to compensate with higher GHG reductions) The overall reduction 16

achieved in the transport sector by 2050 is only around 60 below 1990 levels The 17

increasing trend in emissions seen over the past 20 years is expected to reverse by the CO2 18

legislation From 2020 on the fleet average to be achieved by all new cars is 95 grams of CO2 19

per kilometer (compared to 130 gkm in 2015) 20

Many other governments world-wide have specified CO2 emission targets and are striving 21

towards a low carbon economy Particularly in the field of passenger and commercial vehicles 22

fuel consumption and emission targets have been installed which significantly drive the 23

introduction of battery or fuel cell powered electric vehicles Among these emission policies 24

the targets set by the EU are among the most ambitious (see Table 11) Meeting them will 25

require a significant share of electric vehicles 26

Table 11 Overview about fuel consumption and CO2-emission targets for passenger vehicles 1

of the EU and other countries leading battery and electric mobility markets [30] 2

In this context electric mobility is gaining importance since electric vehicles especially plug-3

in hybrid and pure battery electric vehicles can help to achieve or fulfill these limits due to 4

improved CO2 footprints compared to conventional cars However for low CO2 footprints over 5

the lifetime of electric cars a high share of ldquolow carbonrdquo renewable energy sources (RES) in 6

the energy mix is needed and important (Figure 24 left side) 7

8

Figure 24 Climate and energy policies as drivers for future energy storage demand [28] 9

The EU Energy Roadmap 2050 [31 32] has shown across six scenarios that the 10

decarbonization goal can be achieved if the share of renewable energy sources (RES) among 11

the power generation capacity is high (gt 60 until 2050) for all scenarios Especially for the 12

high RES scenario the share of fluctuating energy generation (wind photovoltaic ndash PV) is the 13

strongest which has to be balanced Grid expansion andor flexibilization measures (eg 14

demand side management power to gas and vehicle to grid besides stationary battery 15

storage) are potential solutions Thus the high RES scenario is the most interesting scenario 16

with respect to a potential future demand for energy storage solutions (ESS) on local 17

distribution and transmission grid levels (Figure 24 right side) In order to have a significant 18

GHG reduction with EVs it will also be important to achieve the RES targets 19

233 The developing battery market 1

The total annual battery market is currently on the level of 45-60 billion Euro representing 2

approximately 400-500 GWh (including Lead-acid Lithium-Ion and other batteries) [33] 3

Lithium-ion batteries (LIB) have succeeded because of their high gravimetric and volumetric 4

energy densities and have a market share of about a third in terms of value among the whole 5

battery market The growth is driven by the decreasing cell costs of less than 170 eurokWh for a 6

standard cylindrical cell (lowest prices) approaching the 90 eurokWh mark in the next years This 7

cost degression is due to increasing capacity demand and production and thus due to scale 8

effects 9

Although the LIB market is drastically growing with annual growth rates of up to 30 percent 10

on average (in terms of battery capacity demand) the dominating battery technology in terms 11

of capacity however are still lead-acid batteries representing about 90 percent of the global 12

demand in volume around 2010 and 80 percent in 2017 13

14

15

Figure 25 Historical development of the global battery demand in GWh (left axis for NiCd 16

NiMH right axis for all other battery types grey total battery demand) [34] 17

Other mature battery technologies like NiCd (still partly used in power tools) and NiMH (still 18

used in hybrid electric vehicles HEV) are slowly declining and are expected to disappear from 19

the market in the next decade The diversification of future battery applications however will 20

also broaden the range of battery technologies Emerging technologies like Na-based Metal-21

Sulfur or Redox Flow batteries are developing and may lead to attractive solutions eg with 22

respect to cost and resource availability advantages However due to very strict requirements 23

on volumetric energy densities these technologies are expected to be relevant for stationary 24

or other special markets and less for the most significant electric vehicle market In general 25

each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses and none of them can satisfy all user 26

demands Hence a broader application-specific technology portfolio is urgently needed in 27

order to provide alternative technology solutions in the future 28

The extremely dynamic development of the global LIB demand will lead to the TWh level latest 29

around 2030 and grow further after 2030 Thus LIB will very soon transform into the 30

dominating energy storage technology 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

34

Figure 26 shows three different scenarios for the global demand for LIB between 2010 and 1

2030 (green curves) along with global production capacities (orange and blue curve)[33] 2

While at the beginning of the decade the demand and sales numbers followed the medium 3

growth rate trend scenario the market has been approaching the high growth rate scenario in 4

the last years This is mainly due to the strong engagement of politics and respective 5

regulation and subsidy programs for electric mobility As can be seen from the graph the 6

share of demand generated by motive applications is expected to significantly grow in the next 7

years and might account for more than one third of the total LIB demand by 2025 8

To face this increasing demand for LIB cells accordingly production capacities need to be 9

build up in the near future Based on the currently existing cell production capacities and the 10

global announcements from established and new cell producers until 2025 the LIB cell 11

production capacities (blue line in 12

Figure 26) have been identified Compared to 15 GWh added production capacity between 13

2013 and 2016 in the next years around 50 GWh will be added annually leading to around 14

700 GWh production capacities until 2025 (in the optimistic case see blue line in 15

Figure 26) The announcements include established players such as Panasonic (JP) LG 16

Chem (KR) Samsung (KR) SKI (KR) BYD (CN) Lishen (CN) CATL (CN) CALB (CN) 17

OPTIMUM (CN) and several further Chinese cell producers Also new players such as TerraE 18

(DE) Northvolt (SW) Boston Energy (US AU) Energy Absolute (Thailand) are included 19

while accounting for the different stages of expansion [20 27] 20

234 Battery markets by application 23

Diversification of applications for batteries 24

The above described global developments of battery demand and production strongly concern 25

high-energy lithium-ion batteries with the cell chemistries NMC NCA (Ni-rich and Co-reduced 26

cathodes) and SiC (high capacity SiC anodes with 5-10 or higher Si content) and cell 27

formats cylindrical (eg larger 21700 compared to standard 18650) large pouch or prismatic 28

cells The target is to develop and produce cells with improved gravimetric and volumetric 29

35

energy densities and reduced costs in order to meet the requirements of the automotive 1

industry Electric passenger cars are driving the demand and thus development of the battery 2

technology and these optimized and cost reduced batteries define the benchmark today and 3

in the future 4

LIB demand by applications 5

In Figure 27 the global LIB demand is broken down to the three main sectors for battery 6

demand which can be characterised each having different profiles of requirement 7

bull electric mobility or electric vehicles (EV including eg passenger cars light 8

commercial vehicles buses trucks scooters ebikes etc) 9

bull stationary energy storage systems (ESS) and 10

bull portable devices (3C ndash Computer Communication Consumer) 11

The LIB cell demand developed to almost 25 GWh in 2010 since the market introduction in 12

the early 1990s and dominantly resulted from portable devices In 2015 the cell demand of 13

about 70 GWh was distributed already almost 5050 between 3C and EV applications 14

Since 2015 the global LIB demand has increased with compound annual growth rates 17

(CAGR) of ~25 from about 70 GWh to about 110 GWh in 2017 The market for electric 18

vehicles currently grows with 30-40 (and more depending on the application and region) and 19

a diversification in applications (eg buses trucks other light to heavy commercial vehicles 20

marine applications drones etc) can be observed 21

With the diversification of future markets and applications cost sensitive markets will arise for 22

which optimized high-energy and cost reduced automotive cells of certain cell formats will be 23

used However also applications with stronger requirements on long lifetime high cycleability 24

fast charging capability safety etc will emerge and diffuse where cost is not the most 25

relevant factor and other battery technologies (ie cell chemistries formats) can provide a 26

unique selling proposition and hence lead to a product differentiation 27

2341 LIB markets for 3C applications 28

Portable devices (3C) have been the main applications for LIB cells in the past Power tools 29

medical devices and wearables are expected to be products with an emerging future market 30

for small LIB cells but with enormous quantities The price per kWh that can be stored plays a 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

36

less important role for these applications As far as charging is concerned technologies such 1

as energy harvesting and wireless charging are expected to be introduced in the future For 2

many markets and products such as household devices garden cleaning power tools other 3

mobile leisure applications etc today mostly cylindrical LIB cells of the format 18650 are used 4

With the introduction of 21700 cells also larger cylindrical cells become available now and are 5

expected to be used in diffuse in such applications Although different specific cell chemistries 6

might be suitable depending on the concrete application again it can be stated that the 3C 7

segment is expected to lead to a comparably small battery capacity demand compared to the 8

EV segment and will not be the limiting segment with respect to the risk of resource 9

dependencies 10

In the next few years growth rates of about 5 to 10 percent are expected for the 3C markets 11

while laptop battery demand is developing at lower growth rates and power tools medical 12

devices etc are supporting the growth rates for the battery demand 13

2342 LIB markets for stationary (ESS) applications 17

Stationary energy storage systems (ESS) can be divided into different size classes with regard 18

to the capacity and charging times Both together decide on the application area (eg small 19

PV storage at home peak load to long-term storage) [35] Beyond that the price per kWh put 20

through over the lifetime is the economic key factor (as synthesized by the LCOE levelized 21

cost of energy) In contrast gravimetric and volumetric energy density plays a subordinate 22

role Due to that lead-acid batteries were often used as storage technology for off- and on-23

grid storage Currently LIBs are being established for commercial use and meanwhile reach 24

an annual demand of some few GWh Other electrochemical storage technologies such as 25

sodium-sulfur batteries are still used but the demand for LIB is strongly increasing for ESS It 26

is expected that 2nd life concepts for batteries that had their first life in electric vehicles will 27

gain importance together with market diffusion in the EV segment as the requirements on the 28

batteries are less demanding in the ESS segment This however will require the development 29

of according business models standardization etc The much broader available technology 30

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

37

portfolio for ESS applications the use of 2nd life batteries and the fact that electric vehicle 1

batteries that are connected to the grid on a large scale with higher market diffusion can be 2

regarded as stationary storage systems as well (vehicle to grid V2G grid to vehicle G2V) help 3

to reduce the risk of technological and resource dependencies in the future 4

The market for stationary storage applications (ESS) is experiencing growth rates of 20 to 30 5

percent depending on individual market forecasts (in the last years CAGR have even been on 6

the level of 60 but decrease with increasing size of the market see Figure 29) 7

The market is currently on a level of few GWh including applications from smaller PV storage 8

systems of 5-10 kWh to larger industrial and grid connected installations for own power 9

consumption peak shaving etc on the MWh level Regarding these growth rates LIB for ESS 10

applications rapidly gain importance as de-central storage solutions compared to the currently 11

dominating central pumped hydro storage (PHS) Forecasts to 2025 differ by size and expect 12

an ESS LIB demand between 20-50 GWh (partially higher eg in [23]) but all forecasts identify 13

high growth rates 14

2343 LIB markets for electric vehicle applications 18

One of the biggest challenges for batteries for electric vehicles (EV including electric cars 19

buses trucks etc) apart from their price is the increase of their volumetric and gravimetric 20

energy density The volumetric energy density is even more important for OEM due to 21

restricted and fixed space and location of the battery in an electric vehicle A very relevant 22

parameter of a battery is its charging and discharging power in particular in continuous 23

operation It determines the fast-charging capability which is an important argument in the 24

use and the establishment on the market At the same time this sets limits to the high-25

performance operation since energy consumption is reduced to protect the battery from 26

damage This illustrates the conflicting effect of different parameters on the battery lifetime 27

Price volume weight and thus charge density as well as chargedischarge rate in terms of 28

usage and durability are the most urgent challenges for battery manufacturers 29

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

38

The market for EV batteries is currently at the level of about 50 GWh (including electric 1

passenger cars busses trucks ebikes scooter forklifts etc) Growth rates are at 20 to 40 2

percent and the demand for EV batteries will lead to a share of about 66 percent in 2020 76 3

percent until 2025 and 80 percent or higher in the long term Electric passenger cars (BEV 4

and PHEV) define the by far largest market within the EV segment and are clearly driving the 5

technology development of high energy Lithium-Ion or Lithium-based batteries in the future 6

7

Figure 30 Demand and growth of the EV LIB market [34] 8

9

Other motive (or stationary or portable) markets applications besides the highly competitive 10

electric passenger cars therefore can offer interesting growth markets also for smaller cell 11

producers beyond the large Japanese Korean and Chinese cell producers These markets or 12

applications very often define concrete requirements for the battery performance they require 13

an in depth understanding and design from the cell chemistry format to the modulepack and 14

system integration and they still vary strongly by region and are connected to individual system 15

integrators or OEM This is because each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses 16

and none of them can satisfy all userapplication demands Hence a broader application 17

specific technology portfolio is even urgently needed in order to provide alternative individual 18

technology solutions for these emerging marketsapplications 19

20

235 Market channels and production structure 21

2351 Global production capacities and major players 22

Since their commercialization in the 1990s LIB have been predominantly produced by 23

Japanese and Korean companies Driven by the Chinese government particularly cell 24

producers but also companies covering other steps of the LIB value creation chain have been 25

established in China Due to a policy of simultaneous support for LIB production as well as for 26

application markets and due to an extensive subsidy scheme a large share of LIB production 27

capacities is located in China today 28

Figure 31 Figure 32 Figure 33 and Figure 34 show the global LIB production capacities of 29

major cell producers in 2018 as well as forecasts for 2020 2025 and 2030 respectively [36] 30

The data is based on announcements made by the cell producers As discussed in section 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

39

233 the actual time-frame for the implementation of the capacity expansions is often delayed 1

with respect to the original announcements Hence minimum and maximum values for the 2

production capacities are given 3

Figure 34 Global LIB production capacities of major cell producers in 2030 [36] 2

Until 2030 the announced production capacities add up to more than 1 TWh In total there 3

are about 30 cell producers which have announced to build up production capacities of more 4

than 10 GWhyear which can be considered to be a threshold in order to be able to produce 5

at competitve costs [36] If the announced capacities are fully utilized the ldquobig 4rdquo (Panasonic 6

CATL LGC and BYD) will be able to fully cover the market demand (gt550 GWh) until 2025 7

2352 Europes position in the global battery value chain 8

In the EU several actors are positioned which cover production steps along the whole value 9

chain of LIBs starting from raw material production to production of cells and systems and 10

finally recycling However with respect to global markets only few organizations within the EU 11

have a market share of more than 1 in their specific segment eg BASF Germany in the 12

field of electrolyte production [30] 13

An overview about existing and active companies is given by the European Battery Alliance 14

(see Figure 35) Due to the presence of strong automotive OEM LIB pack manufacturing and 15

system integration is taking place on large scale in Europe A particular gap in the value chain 16

is present due to the lack of a large-scale cell production capable of serving the volumes and 17

prices required by the automotive industry 18

3

Several consortia are currently attempting to build up a European large scale cell 4

manufacturing such as Nothvolt (Sweden) with 32 GWh until 2023 or Saft (together with 5

Siemens and Manz) [39] Recently the German government announced plans for funding of 6

a Batterie-Cell-Alliance between Germany and Poland with cell production capacities in the 7

Regions Lausitz (Germany) and Westpoland [40 41] At the cross section between RampD and 8

large-scale production also a Research Production with 600 Mio EUR funding is foreseen 9

whereas the Fraunhofer Society should coordinate and run such a research production [42] 10

The announced funding from the German government sums up to 2 bn EUR 11

Given all these announced investments and production capacities to build up in the next years 12

the cell production capacities of European cell manufacturers could sum up to over 40 GWh 13

beyond 2025 In contrast main Asian cell manufacturer have already started with cell 14

production (eg LG SDI) or plan to build up production capacities until 2020 to 2025 In 15

concrete there are plans from [43ndash51] 16

17

bull CATL (China) to build 14 GWh in Germany Erfurt beyond 2020 18

bull LG Chem (Japan) to build 15 to 24 GWh (for 03 Mio EVs) in Poland beyond 2020 19

bull Samsung SDI (Japan) to build 10 to 15 GWh beyond 2020 in Hungary (including a 20

recent 5 GWh announcement for 21700 cells for Land Rover 21

bull SK Innovation (Japan) to build 75 GWh in Hungary beyond 2020 22

bull PanasonicTesla to build a (assumed 35GWh) Gigafactory in Europa around 2025 23

bull as well as from BYD (China) GS Yuasa (Japan) and Farasis (US) to build production 24

capacities between 2020 and 2025 25

26

The production capacities from Asian (or non-European) cell manufacturer might sum up to 27

well above 82-96 GWh by 2025 and including BYD GS Yuasa Farasis etc capacities far 28

above 100 GWh can be expected Together with the new EU cell producers this could easily 29

sum up towards the above mentioned 200 GWh demand in Europe But it also clearly indicates 30

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

44

the competition the emerging European players have to face (besides the fact that the plans 1

of the Asian companies are expected to be realized already several years earlier as those of 2

the novel EU companies) 3

2353 Product design trends and technological roadmap 4

Concerning the battery technology or type (by chemistry format etc) which will most likely 5

be produced to address this increasing demand the global roadmaps of cell producers are 6

basically similar Based on state-of-the art cell design (eg LFP NCA based ldquogeneration 1rdquo 7

and NMC111 to NMC532 ldquogeneration 2abrdquo Li-ion batteries) [52] and state-of-the-art 8

production equipment incremental improvements are expected in the next few years but with 9

the target to get to higher-energy lithium-ion batteries Concerning the electrolytes still liquid 10

electrolytes will be used but adopted to the changing electrode materials (eg with additives) 11

Current trends for layered oxide cathodes describe the development of Ni-rich (Co reduced) 12

materials (NMC) A few cell producers are already using NMC811 or comparable cathode 13

materials others are still adopting NMC622 (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3ardquo) On cathode 14

side maybe even lower-cost Mn-rich High Energy NMCs (HE-NMC) might be realized and 15

produced within ~10 years as Mn is cheaper than Ni (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3brdquo) On 16

anode side the trend is to incorporate Si-nano particles to make use of the alloying reaction 17

between Si and Li yielding a high capacitance This however comes at the cost of cycle life 18

Further down the road we might see higher Si contents (~20) 19

20

All-solid-state batteries are on the roadmap of many battery producers but also OEM (also 21

referred to as ldquogeneration 4rdquo) The key performance parameters (KPI) are suitable for electric 22

mobility (EV) Main challenges are indeed manufacturability particularly for ceramic solid state 23

electrolytes which promise to yield the highest advantages over state of the art technologies 24

The market introduction in niche applications is expected possible prior to the use in 25

automotive applications First all-solid-state batteries might not be competitive in terms of 26

energy density but safety properties Later on energy densities of 350-400 Whkg and higher 27

are expected 28

Li-ion batteries but (according to the current level of knowledge) do not reach the necessary 5

KPIs in terms of energy density power density and cycling stability necessary for electric 6

mobility (these are marked in grey) USPs of these technologies can be cost resource 7

availability either volumetric or gravimetric energy density or others But often even 8

fundamental challenges are not solved yet (eg concerning the stability of materials and 9

24 Consumer expenditure base data 2

241 General objective of subtask 24 and approach 3

Subtask 24 gives an overview about average production costs and consumer prices incl 4

VAT (for consumer prices streetprice) excl VAT (for B2B products) as well as an estimation 5

of repair and maintenance as well as installation and disposal costs 6

Due to their recent larger scale market introduction there is still little experience with 7

maintenance as well as disposal expenses Hence only estimations can be made based on 8

isolated sources 9

242 Development of LIB cell costs 10

As the core of LIB based energy storage systems the battery cell exhibits the highest cost 11

share During the last years particularly standardized 18650 format LIB cells have 12

experienced a steep cost learning curve benefiting from production scale effects but also 13

from technological advancements on material level increasing the energy density per volume 14

and weight and decreasing the amount of cost intense Cobalt-based components Compared 15

to this benchmark larger format LIB cells (Pouch prismatic) as are utilized in xEVs and ESS 16

predominantly feature lower energy densities at higher cost per kWh There are however no 17

principal limitations which would prevent a performance and cost development similar to what 18

was observed for cylindrical cells Figure 39 shows the cost learning curves for cylindrical as 19

well as larger format LIB cells [33] Today average costs for cells suitable for automotive use 20

are below 150 eurokWh (cylindrical) and around 200 eurokWh (Pouchprismatic) In specific cases 21

prices around 100 eurokWh have been reported already [53] It should however be noted that 22

with the current market situation LIB prices being below costs are not unlikely to occur 23

Until 2025 production costs of the different cell formats are expected to approach and fall 24

below the mark of 100 eurokWh between 2020 and 2025 Taking further developments on 25

material level into account costs around 60-100 eurokWh seam feasible past 2025 26

Figure 39 Cost learning curves for large LIB cells (cylindrical and Pouchprismatic) [33] 3

Similar cost learning curves have been observed for other battery technologies (see Figure 4

40) In principal cost degression can be limited by demand (compare NiCd) or by reaching 5

material cost limits (compare Pb) Also the diffusion of battery technologies in new markets 6

or applications can lead to further technological improvements and justify higher production 7

costs (compare deviation of NiMH Pb) Following the available data for LIB cells approx 100 8

$kWh (~89 eurokWh) are reached at a cumulative yearly production of 1TWh This mark is 9

expected to be reached between 2020 and 2030 10

Beyond 2030 LIB production costs are however expected to start deviating from this curve 11

due to limiting raw material prices 12

2432 ESS 7

According to recent end-customer price data provided in [55] for 2018 typical consumer prices 8

for small scale (~10 kWh) stationary home storage systems are between 5000 and 15000 9

Euros leading to a relative price of 800 to 1200 eurokWh It is expected that these system prices 10

will benefit from the growing battery markets (also xEV) since similar LIB cell types can be 11

applied in both application areas With respect to inverters and other system related costs the 12

smaller market volume of home ESS indicates lower economy of scale effects as compared 13

to cells 14

2441 xEV 16

So far no comprehensive information on repair and maintenance costs for the battery system 17

2451 Second life and recycling considerations 6

Until today only pilot projects Strategy of automotive OEM regarding second life applications 7

is not known 8

Value of recycled materials can be estimated 9

Three main scenarios possible after end of 1st life (xEV) 10

1 Disposal of batteries (eg separation of liquid and solid components hazardous waste 11

disposal) 12

2 Recycling of batteries and direct regeneration and re-use of cathode materials (2a) or 13

recovery of metals (2b) 14

3 2nd life in ESS applications under limited load (low DOD cycling low power) 15

16

Scenario 1 will add another component to battery costs scenario 2 and 3 could significantly 17

decrease the cost of batteries if energy efficient recycling methods can be developed or viable 18

2nd life business models are established 19

2611 Modelling of addressable markets for electric applications 2

Vehicle markets (in units of registrations in the EU28 per year) and ESS markets (in units of 3

number of installed home PV systems or in units of overall renewable (PV wind) electricity 4

generation in the EU28 per year) were modelled by exponential functions 5

119872119905119886119901119901(119905) = 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 6

With Mtapp(t) being the total market volume of an application M0 the market size in 2015 and 7

120591 times 119871119899(2) the time t necessary to double the initial market volume M0 M0 and Tau were chosen 8

to fit existing market data 9

119872119886119901119901(119905) = 119888 times 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 10

With Mapp(t) being the addressable market and c a factor equal or smaller than 1 Parameter 11

c lt 1 was chosen to take into account that not the whole existing market Mtapp might be 12

addressable by electric technologies Eg a share of vehicles primarily used for long distance 13

travel might not be addressable by BEV but by PHEV only 14

The market addressable for passenger PHEV (as a transition technology on the path to full 15

electric vehicles) was modelled as the difference of total vehicle sales and BEV sales 16

119872119875119867119864119881(119905) = 119888 times 119872119905119901119886119904119904119890119899119892119890119903(119905) minus 119878119861119864119881(119905) 17

The market addressable for passenger BEV was modelled like Mapp(t) with c lt 1 18

2612 Modelling of sales numbers of xEV and ESS 19

Yearly sales numbers Sapp(t) for the different applications were modelled by logistic growth 20

functions Logistic functions can model diffusion of technologies into existing markets with a 21

given market volume M The market volume can be a moving target M = M(t) The relative 22

change of sales numbers Srsquoapp(t)Sapp(t) is proportional to the market volume not yet 23

developed by a technology Mapp(t) ndash Sapp(t) 24

119878119886119901119901(119905) = 119872119886119901119901(119905) times1

1 + 119864119909119901(minus119872119886119901119901(119905) times (119905 minus 1199050)120591)(119872119886119901119901(119905)

119878119886119901119901(1199050)minus 1)

25

With Tau being a time constant and Sapp(t0) being the yearly sales number at year t0 (eg 26

2015) 27

Short time constants Tau of few years were used to model ESS sales Due to limitations of 28

the existing electricity grid to only buffer a certain share of fluctuating PV and wind generated 29

electricity the further expansion of renewable electricity generation might be strongly coupled 30

to ESS installations Hence ESS sales were modelled to closely follow the assumed 31

installations of renewable power in the limit of ldquovery fastrdquo market diffusion (120591 rarr 0) 32

2613 Modelling of battery system capacities 33

Battery capacities EBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws In 34

particular BEV battery capacities increased in the last years from 30 kWh in 2013 to more than 35

40 kWh in 2018 (EU sales and production averages) In the long term we expect BEV 36

capacities to converge towards a value sufficient to provide average driving ranges of some 37

100 km Battery capacity growth rates are hence supposed to slow down 38

119864119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198640 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 1

With E0 being the average battery capacity in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years and 2

b an exponent lt 1 The parameters were chosen to fit existing data 3

2614 Modelling of battery replacement rates 4

Battery replacement rates RrBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws 5

The replacement rate defines the share of batteries installed in year t that had to be replaced 6

within the lifetime of a system (xEV ESS) In particular for vehicles it is assumed that xEV 7

manufacturers currently install battery cells with a high lifetime and cyclability (several 8

thousand cycles) In the mid-term we expect that battery life and vehicle life (eg 200000 to 9

300000 km) will be matched by car manufacturers Assuming a constant vehicle lifetime 10

battery replacement rates are supposed to increase over time 11

119877119903119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198770 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 12

With R0 being the average replacement rate in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years 13

and b an exponent lt 1 At present there is no data available to fit the parameters Parameters 14

were estimated based on the usage profile and load of different applications 15

2615 Modelling of system lifetimes (xEV ESS) 16

System lifetimes Ltsystem(t) were assumed to be constant Ltsystem(t)= Ltsystem Parameters were 17

estimated based on manufacturer statements and typical lifetimes for combustion powered 18

vehicles 19

2616 Calculation of battery replacements 20

Battery replacements RpBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 21

calculated by assuming a uniform distribution of battery replacements over the lifetime 22

The objective is to compile market and stock data in physical units for the EU for each of the 11

product categories defined in Task 11 and for the stock (1990-2015) combined with a forecast 12

2020-2050 Therefore the following parameters need to be identified 13

bull Replacement cycles and life time data This data is assumed to be strongly application 3

depending At present there is no comprehensive data available 4

2211 Useful data sources 5

Several market studies describing the present and future market situation for battery-based 6

applications exist Most of these studies have a global scope or focus on Asian countries due 7

to the structure of the battery market Comprehensive studies providing market data for the 8

EU and its member states are not known 9

To give an overview about stock and battery markets for the EU28 member states the 10

following bottom-up sources were utilized to give model estimations 11

bull Fraunhofer ISI in-house xEV database [3] The database has been developed in 2014 12

by Fraunhofer ISI and is updated since on an annual basis The last update was done 13

in November 2018 It covers global production and sales numbers for xEV models 14

broken down to countries as well as information on battery capacity and range of the 15

vehicles The database aggregates information provided by Marklines Co Ltd [4] the 16

European Alternative Fuels Observatory [5] the ev-sales blog [6] and other online 17

sources 18

bull Fraunhofer ISI in-house LIB database [7] The database covers information on the 19

major industrial players in the Li-ion business from materials to cell production The 20

development and location of production capacities is frequently updated Information 21

on performance and cost of commercially available battery cells as well as the meta 22

analysis of several studies providing forecasts on the respective developments are 23

also covered in the database Information is collected from several online sources and 24

available product data sheets 25

bull B3 corporation market studies B3 corporation provides topical market studies on xEV 26

ESS and material markets for Li-ion batteries The market data is updated on an 27

annual basis B3 studies have a global scope but occasionally also cover local 28

European markets 29

bull Additional market studies and databases as discussed in the following sections 30

222 Market stock and forecast for xEVs in Europe 31

As will be shown in section 23 the stock of installed medium or large-sized batteries in Europe 32

is strongly related to the diffusion of electric mobility In contrast to several Asian countries 33

xEV sales in Europe predominantly concern passenger cars Ebuses as well as light and 34

heavy commercial vehicles still do not play a major role in terms of installed capacity At 35

present the average energy content of a BEV passenger electric vehicle battery is higher than 36

40 kWh Small vehicles like the Renault Twizy feature a capacity of less than 10 kWh while 37

the models with highest capacity sold in EU28 countries approach the 100 kWh mark (Jaguar 38

iPace and Tesla Model X 90 kWh Tesla Model 3 73 kWh) The amount of battery capacity 39

installed in passenger PHEVs is about 10 kWh and has remained on a constant level over the 40

last years (see Figure 7) 41

2221 Production and sales of BEV 4

Figure 8 shows the number of produced BEVs [3] broken down to the production country from 5

2010 to 2018 A forecast until 2020 based on the average growth rates between 2016 and 6

2018 is shown in addition This production data is a measure for the demand of battery cells 7

in the individual EU28 countries 8

Germany France and the Netherlands lead the field of BEV producers in Europe On 9

European level an average yearly growth rate of over 40 can be observed It is expected 10

that the number of 150000 produced BEVs in 2018 will double in 2020 11

12

Figure 8 Production numbers for BEVs produced in EU28 countries and forecast until 2020 13

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

13

In contrast to the production data the sales numbers for BEV reflect the amount of installed 1

vehicle batteries in the individual EU28 countries It can be seen in Figure 9 that the proportion 2

among the EU28 countries in terms of sold vehicles is much more even as compared to the 3

production Germany France the United Kingdom and the Netherlands lead the market 4

however significant sales numbers can also be found in other countries The level and growth 5

rates of BEV sales is comparable to BEV production It should however be noted that there is 6

significant trade with other regions of the world eg BEV imports from KR (Hyundai) and JP 7

(Mitsubishi Nissan) and exports to North America (BMW Volkswagen) Hence the BEV 8

market can not be considered to be an internal market 9

2222 Production and sales of PHEV 12

Similar to section 2221 production and sales numbers for PHEV resolved by country are 13

shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11 Although on a comparable level in terms of produced and 14

sold vehicles it must be emphasized that the contribution of PHEVs to the demand for battery 15

capacity is due to the smaller size of the battery much less than the demand generated by 16

BEVs At present the main production sites for PHEVs are located in Germany Due to 17

production sites for Audi (VW) and Volvo PHEVs Sweden and Slovakia also significantly 18

contribute to the production 19

2223 Forecast xEV sales and stock EU28 9

The data presented in sections 2221 and 2222 was used as an input for a forecast model 10

on passenger PHEV and BEV as well as light and heavy commercial xEVs (see also [8] and 11

section 26) 12

It was assumed that extrapolated EU wide sales numbers and growth rates for passenger as 13

well as light vehicles [9] represent natural boundaries for the growth of xEV markets Logistic 14

growth functions (see setion 26) were used to model market diffusion Passenger BEV were 15

assumed to be an initially faster growing transition technology which will partially be replaced 1

by BEV in the long term A passenger xEV lifetime of 12 years with battery replacement rates 2

of 15 per lifetime were assumed For commercial vehicles a lifetime of 9 years and 3

replacement rate of 25 and a lifetime of 12 years and battery replacement rate of 80 were 4

assumed for light and heavy vehicles respectively The assumption for the market model is 5

223 Market stock and forecast for ESS in Europe 3

As discussed in Task 1 several stationary applications for batteries exist ranging from grid 4

support to home storage As will be shown in section 23 the demand for battery capacity 5

generated by ESS applications at present is rather small as compared to 3C and motive 6

markets There is no systematic registration of large scale or small scale stationary storage 7

systems in the EU Hence the market stock and volume for respective applications can only 8

be estimated based on indirect data 9

2231 Photovoltaic installations in the EU 10

Energy storage systems in combination with photovoltaic installations are one major 11

application for batteries both for private as well as commercial purposes Due to changes in 12

reimbursement and subsidy policy as well as the physical capability of the energy system to 13

buffer and process high shares of renewable energy the use of local energy storage systems 14

is becoming more and more popular There is no data on the share of PV installations 15

equipped with an energy storage system for the EU However on regional level some data is 16

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

20

available According to [10] approximately half of the PV systems with a peak power below 1

30 kW installed in Germany in 2017 have been equipped with an energy storage option 2

(amounting to about 30000 storage systems with a cumulative capacity of 400 MWh) 3

At present the installation of storage systems is strongly coupled to new installations of PV 4

systems As shown in Figure 16 with data on Germany the retrofit of existing PV installations 5

with storage systems is however expected to contribute significantly to the demand for battery 6

capacity in the PV segment in the future Within the forecast shown 50 of the sold storage 7

systems might be integrated into already existing PV-systems in 2030 8

9

Figure 16 PV installations and retrofit of existing PV installations in Germany Data and image 10

taken from [11] 11

Figure 17 shows the yearly installed PV power (MW) in the EU28 [12] A boom of PV 12

installations can clearly be observed for the years 2010 to 2012 mainly driven by installations 13

in Germany and Italy Likely as a result of changing subsidy policies the yearly installed PV 14

power has since then steadily decreased in both countries On the other hand a steady 15

increase in installations can be observed for the Netherlands and the UK In the forecast model 16

applied in [12] a slight increase in new installations is expected until 2021 driven by 17

installations in the UK and Portugal as well as member countries which so far do not have 18

any considerable PV installations Due to decreasing costs for solar panels and rather stable 19

remuneration rates this upward trend seems to be justified 20

Figure 17 PV installations in EU28 countries and forecast until 2020 Data taken from [12] 2

Based on the data given in [10] for Germany 80 of the installed PV systems can be attributed 3

to small or medium sized installations (average of 10 kWp) directly feeding into the low-voltage 4

grid In terms of power these systems amount to about 30 of the installations If equipped 5

with an energy storage system the average battery capacity amounts to 8 to 10 kWh [13] 6

Concerning installations in Europe it can be argued that there is a trend towards smaller roof-7

top systems for more densely populated and less sunny regions while in particular in the 8

southern European countries larger solar parks are favored Since no comprehensive data 9

covering the whole EU is available only a rough estimation for the demand of battery storage 10

systems and capacity can be made 11

Assuming that the number of smaller roof-top installations (30 of power) as well as the 12

number of systems equipped with an ESS (50 of installations lt 30 kWp) is above average 13

for Germany as compared to the rest of the EU the market data and forecasts given in [12] 14

and [11] would lead to a demand for battery capacity as summarized in Table 5 15

based on [11] and [12] for the EU28 2

Note that this estimation does not take into account ESS installations for larger scale (gt30 3

2232 Wind Turbine installations in the EU 5

Similar to section 2231 for PV installations Figure 18 shows data and forecasts for wind 6

turbine power installations in the EU28 [12] In contrast to PV installations wind turbine power 7

is almost exclusively attributed to larger scale wind parks We conclude that the use of small 8

scale ESS for the optimization of private energy consumption is therefore not driven by wind 9

power installations 10

Still the ongoing installation of wind turbine power in the EU28 might become a driver for large 11

scale decentralized energy storage systems however there is no market data available which 12

would allow for a battery demand forecast 13

energy 7

Note that most of these installations are prototype or test facilities which does not allow to 8

use this application share as template for future market developments The total installed 9

capacity of 340 MWh in 2017 suggests that the market volume of large scale ESS is of the 10

same order of magnitude as that of home storage Note that the installed capacity for 2017 in 11

[14] is only 65 MWh It is however not stated in [12] whether the listed ESS projects are still in 12

2234 Forecast ESS sales and stock EU28 2

The data presented in sections 2231 2232 and 2233 was used as an input for a forecast 3

model on large scale and home ESS 4

EU wide sales numbers and growth rates for PV coupled home storage systems were 5

extrapolated with declining growth rates for 2035 and beyond With respect to large scale ESS 6

it was assumed that the generation of electricity by renewable sources exceeding 17 (2015 7

value [15]) of the total electricity generation necessitates a certain amount of ESS buffer 8

capacity EU 2020 and 2030 targets [16 17] for the share of renewable electricity generation 9

were used as a forecast model The buffer capacity demand was estimated to be 70 of the 10

daily electrical energy generated by renewables exceeding the share of 17 11

A lifetime of 20 years with a replacement rate of 10 was assumed for home ESS and a 12

lifetime of 20 years with a battery replacement rate of 80 within this lifetime was assumed 13

for large scale ESS System capacities were modelled by a power law based on present-day 14

values The assumptions for the market model are summarized in Table 7 and Table 8 and 15

shall be subject to discussion during the stakeholder meeting 16

224 Summary of the market sales forecast and estimation of the future 1

and past stock 2

As shown in sections 222 and 223 several drivers exist for the application of battery storage 3

systems in stationary and motive applications While the demand for battery capacity 4

generated by BEV and PHEV passenger cars was on the level of several GWh for 2017 the 5

ESS markets might still be below the 1 GWh mark in the EU 6

With respect to the increase of average battery capacity installed in different applications (see 7

Figure 22) and the growth rates for the sales of xEV and ESS (see sections 2223 and 8

2232) forecasts for the total new installations (including replacements) of batteries in the 9

EU28 are shown in Figure 23 See annex for further comments 10

11

Figure 22 Average system battery energy (kWh or MWh) forecast 12

23 Market trends 3

231 General objective of subtask 23 and approach 4

The following chapter provides a comprehensive market overview on global battery sales 5

demand and players Starting with the market development of Lithium-ion batteries between 6

2010 to 2017 scenarios until 2025 to 2030 are presented including a meta-analysis of several 7

most recent market reports (eg [18ndash27]) Step by step the regional markets and markets by 8

applications will be specified 9

232 Market drivers and CO2 legislation [28] 10

Climate and energy policies are main drivers for the energy future and are expected to lead to 11

an increasing demand for energy storage in the mid and long term (see Figure 24) According 12

to the European Unionacutes decarbonization objective a reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) 13

emissions to 80 ndash 95 below 1990 levels should be achieved by 2050 14

In particular for the transport sector no full decarbonization is achieved [29] even in the longer 15

term (other sectors have to compensate with higher GHG reductions) The overall reduction 16

achieved in the transport sector by 2050 is only around 60 below 1990 levels The 17

increasing trend in emissions seen over the past 20 years is expected to reverse by the CO2 18

legislation From 2020 on the fleet average to be achieved by all new cars is 95 grams of CO2 19

per kilometer (compared to 130 gkm in 2015) 20

Many other governments world-wide have specified CO2 emission targets and are striving 21

towards a low carbon economy Particularly in the field of passenger and commercial vehicles 22

fuel consumption and emission targets have been installed which significantly drive the 23

introduction of battery or fuel cell powered electric vehicles Among these emission policies 24

the targets set by the EU are among the most ambitious (see Table 11) Meeting them will 25

require a significant share of electric vehicles 26

Table 11 Overview about fuel consumption and CO2-emission targets for passenger vehicles 1

of the EU and other countries leading battery and electric mobility markets [30] 2

In this context electric mobility is gaining importance since electric vehicles especially plug-3

in hybrid and pure battery electric vehicles can help to achieve or fulfill these limits due to 4

improved CO2 footprints compared to conventional cars However for low CO2 footprints over 5

the lifetime of electric cars a high share of ldquolow carbonrdquo renewable energy sources (RES) in 6

the energy mix is needed and important (Figure 24 left side) 7

8

Figure 24 Climate and energy policies as drivers for future energy storage demand [28] 9

The EU Energy Roadmap 2050 [31 32] has shown across six scenarios that the 10

decarbonization goal can be achieved if the share of renewable energy sources (RES) among 11

the power generation capacity is high (gt 60 until 2050) for all scenarios Especially for the 12

high RES scenario the share of fluctuating energy generation (wind photovoltaic ndash PV) is the 13

strongest which has to be balanced Grid expansion andor flexibilization measures (eg 14

demand side management power to gas and vehicle to grid besides stationary battery 15

storage) are potential solutions Thus the high RES scenario is the most interesting scenario 16

with respect to a potential future demand for energy storage solutions (ESS) on local 17

distribution and transmission grid levels (Figure 24 right side) In order to have a significant 18

GHG reduction with EVs it will also be important to achieve the RES targets 19

233 The developing battery market 1

The total annual battery market is currently on the level of 45-60 billion Euro representing 2

approximately 400-500 GWh (including Lead-acid Lithium-Ion and other batteries) [33] 3

Lithium-ion batteries (LIB) have succeeded because of their high gravimetric and volumetric 4

energy densities and have a market share of about a third in terms of value among the whole 5

battery market The growth is driven by the decreasing cell costs of less than 170 eurokWh for a 6

standard cylindrical cell (lowest prices) approaching the 90 eurokWh mark in the next years This 7

cost degression is due to increasing capacity demand and production and thus due to scale 8

effects 9

Although the LIB market is drastically growing with annual growth rates of up to 30 percent 10

on average (in terms of battery capacity demand) the dominating battery technology in terms 11

of capacity however are still lead-acid batteries representing about 90 percent of the global 12

demand in volume around 2010 and 80 percent in 2017 13

14

15

Figure 25 Historical development of the global battery demand in GWh (left axis for NiCd 16

NiMH right axis for all other battery types grey total battery demand) [34] 17

Other mature battery technologies like NiCd (still partly used in power tools) and NiMH (still 18

used in hybrid electric vehicles HEV) are slowly declining and are expected to disappear from 19

the market in the next decade The diversification of future battery applications however will 20

also broaden the range of battery technologies Emerging technologies like Na-based Metal-21

Sulfur or Redox Flow batteries are developing and may lead to attractive solutions eg with 22

respect to cost and resource availability advantages However due to very strict requirements 23

on volumetric energy densities these technologies are expected to be relevant for stationary 24

or other special markets and less for the most significant electric vehicle market In general 25

each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses and none of them can satisfy all user 26

demands Hence a broader application-specific technology portfolio is urgently needed in 27

order to provide alternative technology solutions in the future 28

The extremely dynamic development of the global LIB demand will lead to the TWh level latest 29

around 2030 and grow further after 2030 Thus LIB will very soon transform into the 30

dominating energy storage technology 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

34

Figure 26 shows three different scenarios for the global demand for LIB between 2010 and 1

2030 (green curves) along with global production capacities (orange and blue curve)[33] 2

While at the beginning of the decade the demand and sales numbers followed the medium 3

growth rate trend scenario the market has been approaching the high growth rate scenario in 4

the last years This is mainly due to the strong engagement of politics and respective 5

regulation and subsidy programs for electric mobility As can be seen from the graph the 6

share of demand generated by motive applications is expected to significantly grow in the next 7

years and might account for more than one third of the total LIB demand by 2025 8

To face this increasing demand for LIB cells accordingly production capacities need to be 9

build up in the near future Based on the currently existing cell production capacities and the 10

global announcements from established and new cell producers until 2025 the LIB cell 11

production capacities (blue line in 12

Figure 26) have been identified Compared to 15 GWh added production capacity between 13

2013 and 2016 in the next years around 50 GWh will be added annually leading to around 14

700 GWh production capacities until 2025 (in the optimistic case see blue line in 15

Figure 26) The announcements include established players such as Panasonic (JP) LG 16

Chem (KR) Samsung (KR) SKI (KR) BYD (CN) Lishen (CN) CATL (CN) CALB (CN) 17

OPTIMUM (CN) and several further Chinese cell producers Also new players such as TerraE 18

(DE) Northvolt (SW) Boston Energy (US AU) Energy Absolute (Thailand) are included 19

while accounting for the different stages of expansion [20 27] 20

234 Battery markets by application 23

Diversification of applications for batteries 24

The above described global developments of battery demand and production strongly concern 25

high-energy lithium-ion batteries with the cell chemistries NMC NCA (Ni-rich and Co-reduced 26

cathodes) and SiC (high capacity SiC anodes with 5-10 or higher Si content) and cell 27

formats cylindrical (eg larger 21700 compared to standard 18650) large pouch or prismatic 28

cells The target is to develop and produce cells with improved gravimetric and volumetric 29

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

35

energy densities and reduced costs in order to meet the requirements of the automotive 1

industry Electric passenger cars are driving the demand and thus development of the battery 2

technology and these optimized and cost reduced batteries define the benchmark today and 3

in the future 4

LIB demand by applications 5

In Figure 27 the global LIB demand is broken down to the three main sectors for battery 6

demand which can be characterised each having different profiles of requirement 7

bull electric mobility or electric vehicles (EV including eg passenger cars light 8

commercial vehicles buses trucks scooters ebikes etc) 9

bull stationary energy storage systems (ESS) and 10

bull portable devices (3C ndash Computer Communication Consumer) 11

The LIB cell demand developed to almost 25 GWh in 2010 since the market introduction in 12

the early 1990s and dominantly resulted from portable devices In 2015 the cell demand of 13

about 70 GWh was distributed already almost 5050 between 3C and EV applications 14

15

Figure 27 Global LIB demand (in GWh and share in ) by segment [34] 16

Since 2015 the global LIB demand has increased with compound annual growth rates 17

(CAGR) of ~25 from about 70 GWh to about 110 GWh in 2017 The market for electric 18

vehicles currently grows with 30-40 (and more depending on the application and region) and 19

a diversification in applications (eg buses trucks other light to heavy commercial vehicles 20

marine applications drones etc) can be observed 21

With the diversification of future markets and applications cost sensitive markets will arise for 22

which optimized high-energy and cost reduced automotive cells of certain cell formats will be 23

used However also applications with stronger requirements on long lifetime high cycleability 24

fast charging capability safety etc will emerge and diffuse where cost is not the most 25

relevant factor and other battery technologies (ie cell chemistries formats) can provide a 26

unique selling proposition and hence lead to a product differentiation 27

2341 LIB markets for 3C applications 28

Portable devices (3C) have been the main applications for LIB cells in the past Power tools 29

medical devices and wearables are expected to be products with an emerging future market 30

for small LIB cells but with enormous quantities The price per kWh that can be stored plays a 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

36

less important role for these applications As far as charging is concerned technologies such 1

as energy harvesting and wireless charging are expected to be introduced in the future For 2

many markets and products such as household devices garden cleaning power tools other 3

mobile leisure applications etc today mostly cylindrical LIB cells of the format 18650 are used 4

With the introduction of 21700 cells also larger cylindrical cells become available now and are 5

expected to be used in diffuse in such applications Although different specific cell chemistries 6

might be suitable depending on the concrete application again it can be stated that the 3C 7

segment is expected to lead to a comparably small battery capacity demand compared to the 8

EV segment and will not be the limiting segment with respect to the risk of resource 9

dependencies 10

In the next few years growth rates of about 5 to 10 percent are expected for the 3C markets 11

while laptop battery demand is developing at lower growth rates and power tools medical 12

devices etc are supporting the growth rates for the battery demand 13

14

15

Figure 28 Demand and growth of the 3C LIB market [34] 16

2342 LIB markets for stationary (ESS) applications 17

Stationary energy storage systems (ESS) can be divided into different size classes with regard 18

to the capacity and charging times Both together decide on the application area (eg small 19

PV storage at home peak load to long-term storage) [35] Beyond that the price per kWh put 20

through over the lifetime is the economic key factor (as synthesized by the LCOE levelized 21

cost of energy) In contrast gravimetric and volumetric energy density plays a subordinate 22

role Due to that lead-acid batteries were often used as storage technology for off- and on-23

grid storage Currently LIBs are being established for commercial use and meanwhile reach 24

an annual demand of some few GWh Other electrochemical storage technologies such as 25

sodium-sulfur batteries are still used but the demand for LIB is strongly increasing for ESS It 26

is expected that 2nd life concepts for batteries that had their first life in electric vehicles will 27

gain importance together with market diffusion in the EV segment as the requirements on the 28

batteries are less demanding in the ESS segment This however will require the development 29

of according business models standardization etc The much broader available technology 30

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

37

portfolio for ESS applications the use of 2nd life batteries and the fact that electric vehicle 1

batteries that are connected to the grid on a large scale with higher market diffusion can be 2

regarded as stationary storage systems as well (vehicle to grid V2G grid to vehicle G2V) help 3

to reduce the risk of technological and resource dependencies in the future 4

The market for stationary storage applications (ESS) is experiencing growth rates of 20 to 30 5

percent depending on individual market forecasts (in the last years CAGR have even been on 6

the level of 60 but decrease with increasing size of the market see Figure 29) 7

The market is currently on a level of few GWh including applications from smaller PV storage 8

systems of 5-10 kWh to larger industrial and grid connected installations for own power 9

consumption peak shaving etc on the MWh level Regarding these growth rates LIB for ESS 10

applications rapidly gain importance as de-central storage solutions compared to the currently 11

dominating central pumped hydro storage (PHS) Forecasts to 2025 differ by size and expect 12

an ESS LIB demand between 20-50 GWh (partially higher eg in [23]) but all forecasts identify 13

high growth rates 14

15

Figure 29 Demand and growth of the ESS LIB market [34] 16

17

2343 LIB markets for electric vehicle applications 18

One of the biggest challenges for batteries for electric vehicles (EV including electric cars 19

buses trucks etc) apart from their price is the increase of their volumetric and gravimetric 20

energy density The volumetric energy density is even more important for OEM due to 21

restricted and fixed space and location of the battery in an electric vehicle A very relevant 22

parameter of a battery is its charging and discharging power in particular in continuous 23

operation It determines the fast-charging capability which is an important argument in the 24

use and the establishment on the market At the same time this sets limits to the high-25

performance operation since energy consumption is reduced to protect the battery from 26

damage This illustrates the conflicting effect of different parameters on the battery lifetime 27

Price volume weight and thus charge density as well as chargedischarge rate in terms of 28

usage and durability are the most urgent challenges for battery manufacturers 29

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

38

The market for EV batteries is currently at the level of about 50 GWh (including electric 1

passenger cars busses trucks ebikes scooter forklifts etc) Growth rates are at 20 to 40 2

percent and the demand for EV batteries will lead to a share of about 66 percent in 2020 76 3

percent until 2025 and 80 percent or higher in the long term Electric passenger cars (BEV 4

and PHEV) define the by far largest market within the EV segment and are clearly driving the 5

technology development of high energy Lithium-Ion or Lithium-based batteries in the future 6

7

Figure 30 Demand and growth of the EV LIB market [34] 8

9

Other motive (or stationary or portable) markets applications besides the highly competitive 10

electric passenger cars therefore can offer interesting growth markets also for smaller cell 11

producers beyond the large Japanese Korean and Chinese cell producers These markets or 12

applications very often define concrete requirements for the battery performance they require 13

an in depth understanding and design from the cell chemistry format to the modulepack and 14

system integration and they still vary strongly by region and are connected to individual system 15

integrators or OEM This is because each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses 16

and none of them can satisfy all userapplication demands Hence a broader application 17

specific technology portfolio is even urgently needed in order to provide alternative individual 18

technology solutions for these emerging marketsapplications 19

20

235 Market channels and production structure 21

2351 Global production capacities and major players 22

Since their commercialization in the 1990s LIB have been predominantly produced by 23

Japanese and Korean companies Driven by the Chinese government particularly cell 24

producers but also companies covering other steps of the LIB value creation chain have been 25

established in China Due to a policy of simultaneous support for LIB production as well as for 26

application markets and due to an extensive subsidy scheme a large share of LIB production 27

capacities is located in China today 28

Figure 31 Figure 32 Figure 33 and Figure 34 show the global LIB production capacities of 29

major cell producers in 2018 as well as forecasts for 2020 2025 and 2030 respectively [36] 30

The data is based on announcements made by the cell producers As discussed in section 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

39

233 the actual time-frame for the implementation of the capacity expansions is often delayed 1

with respect to the original announcements Hence minimum and maximum values for the 2

production capacities are given 3

Figure 34 Global LIB production capacities of major cell producers in 2030 [36] 2

Until 2030 the announced production capacities add up to more than 1 TWh In total there 3

are about 30 cell producers which have announced to build up production capacities of more 4

than 10 GWhyear which can be considered to be a threshold in order to be able to produce 5

at competitve costs [36] If the announced capacities are fully utilized the ldquobig 4rdquo (Panasonic 6

CATL LGC and BYD) will be able to fully cover the market demand (gt550 GWh) until 2025 7

2352 Europes position in the global battery value chain 8

In the EU several actors are positioned which cover production steps along the whole value 9

chain of LIBs starting from raw material production to production of cells and systems and 10

finally recycling However with respect to global markets only few organizations within the EU 11

have a market share of more than 1 in their specific segment eg BASF Germany in the 12

field of electrolyte production [30] 13

An overview about existing and active companies is given by the European Battery Alliance 14

(see Figure 35) Due to the presence of strong automotive OEM LIB pack manufacturing and 15

system integration is taking place on large scale in Europe A particular gap in the value chain 16

is present due to the lack of a large-scale cell production capable of serving the volumes and 17

prices required by the automotive industry 18

Several consortia are currently attempting to build up a European large scale cell 4

manufacturing such as Nothvolt (Sweden) with 32 GWh until 2023 or Saft (together with 5

Siemens and Manz) [39] Recently the German government announced plans for funding of 6

a Batterie-Cell-Alliance between Germany and Poland with cell production capacities in the 7

Regions Lausitz (Germany) and Westpoland [40 41] At the cross section between RampD and 8

large-scale production also a Research Production with 600 Mio EUR funding is foreseen 9

whereas the Fraunhofer Society should coordinate and run such a research production [42] 10

The announced funding from the German government sums up to 2 bn EUR 11

Given all these announced investments and production capacities to build up in the next years 12

the cell production capacities of European cell manufacturers could sum up to over 40 GWh 13

beyond 2025 In contrast main Asian cell manufacturer have already started with cell 14

production (eg LG SDI) or plan to build up production capacities until 2020 to 2025 In 15

concrete there are plans from [43ndash51] 16

17

bull CATL (China) to build 14 GWh in Germany Erfurt beyond 2020 18

bull LG Chem (Japan) to build 15 to 24 GWh (for 03 Mio EVs) in Poland beyond 2020 19

bull Samsung SDI (Japan) to build 10 to 15 GWh beyond 2020 in Hungary (including a 20

recent 5 GWh announcement for 21700 cells for Land Rover 21

bull SK Innovation (Japan) to build 75 GWh in Hungary beyond 2020 22

bull PanasonicTesla to build a (assumed 35GWh) Gigafactory in Europa around 2025 23

bull as well as from BYD (China) GS Yuasa (Japan) and Farasis (US) to build production 24

capacities between 2020 and 2025 25

26

The production capacities from Asian (or non-European) cell manufacturer might sum up to 27

well above 82-96 GWh by 2025 and including BYD GS Yuasa Farasis etc capacities far 28

above 100 GWh can be expected Together with the new EU cell producers this could easily 29

sum up towards the above mentioned 200 GWh demand in Europe But it also clearly indicates 30

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

44

the competition the emerging European players have to face (besides the fact that the plans 1

of the Asian companies are expected to be realized already several years earlier as those of 2

the novel EU companies) 3

2353 Product design trends and technological roadmap 4

Concerning the battery technology or type (by chemistry format etc) which will most likely 5

be produced to address this increasing demand the global roadmaps of cell producers are 6

basically similar Based on state-of-the art cell design (eg LFP NCA based ldquogeneration 1rdquo 7

and NMC111 to NMC532 ldquogeneration 2abrdquo Li-ion batteries) [52] and state-of-the-art 8

production equipment incremental improvements are expected in the next few years but with 9

the target to get to higher-energy lithium-ion batteries Concerning the electrolytes still liquid 10

electrolytes will be used but adopted to the changing electrode materials (eg with additives) 11

Current trends for layered oxide cathodes describe the development of Ni-rich (Co reduced) 12

materials (NMC) A few cell producers are already using NMC811 or comparable cathode 13

materials others are still adopting NMC622 (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3ardquo) On cathode 14

side maybe even lower-cost Mn-rich High Energy NMCs (HE-NMC) might be realized and 15

produced within ~10 years as Mn is cheaper than Ni (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3brdquo) On 16

anode side the trend is to incorporate Si-nano particles to make use of the alloying reaction 17

between Si and Li yielding a high capacitance This however comes at the cost of cycle life 18

Further down the road we might see higher Si contents (~20) 19

20

All-solid-state batteries are on the roadmap of many battery producers but also OEM (also 21

referred to as ldquogeneration 4rdquo) The key performance parameters (KPI) are suitable for electric 22

mobility (EV) Main challenges are indeed manufacturability particularly for ceramic solid state 23

electrolytes which promise to yield the highest advantages over state of the art technologies 24

The market introduction in niche applications is expected possible prior to the use in 25

automotive applications First all-solid-state batteries might not be competitive in terms of 26

energy density but safety properties Later on energy densities of 350-400 Whkg and higher 27

are expected 28

Other technologies (not marked in blue in the above figure) feature certain USPs compared to 4

Li-ion batteries but (according to the current level of knowledge) do not reach the necessary 5

KPIs in terms of energy density power density and cycling stability necessary for electric 6

mobility (these are marked in grey) USPs of these technologies can be cost resource 7

availability either volumetric or gravimetric energy density or others But often even 8

fundamental challenges are not solved yet (eg concerning the stability of materials and 9

electrochemical systems kinetics etc) 10

24 Consumer expenditure base data 2

241 General objective of subtask 24 and approach 3

Subtask 24 gives an overview about average production costs and consumer prices incl 4

VAT (for consumer prices streetprice) excl VAT (for B2B products) as well as an estimation 5

of repair and maintenance as well as installation and disposal costs 6

Due to their recent larger scale market introduction there is still little experience with 7

maintenance as well as disposal expenses Hence only estimations can be made based on 8

isolated sources 9

242 Development of LIB cell costs 10

As the core of LIB based energy storage systems the battery cell exhibits the highest cost 11

share During the last years particularly standardized 18650 format LIB cells have 12

experienced a steep cost learning curve benefiting from production scale effects but also 13

from technological advancements on material level increasing the energy density per volume 14

and weight and decreasing the amount of cost intense Cobalt-based components Compared 15

to this benchmark larger format LIB cells (Pouch prismatic) as are utilized in xEVs and ESS 16

predominantly feature lower energy densities at higher cost per kWh There are however no 17

principal limitations which would prevent a performance and cost development similar to what 18

was observed for cylindrical cells Figure 39 shows the cost learning curves for cylindrical as 19

well as larger format LIB cells [33] Today average costs for cells suitable for automotive use 20

are below 150 eurokWh (cylindrical) and around 200 eurokWh (Pouchprismatic) In specific cases 21

prices around 100 eurokWh have been reported already [53] It should however be noted that 22

with the current market situation LIB prices being below costs are not unlikely to occur 23

Until 2025 production costs of the different cell formats are expected to approach and fall 24

below the mark of 100 eurokWh between 2020 and 2025 Taking further developments on 25

material level into account costs around 60-100 eurokWh seam feasible past 2025 26

Figure 39 Cost learning curves for large LIB cells (cylindrical and Pouchprismatic) [33] 3

Similar cost learning curves have been observed for other battery technologies (see Figure 4

40) In principal cost degression can be limited by demand (compare NiCd) or by reaching 5

material cost limits (compare Pb) Also the diffusion of battery technologies in new markets 6

or applications can lead to further technological improvements and justify higher production 7

costs (compare deviation of NiMH Pb) Following the available data for LIB cells approx 100 8

$kWh (~89 eurokWh) are reached at a cumulative yearly production of 1TWh This mark is 9

expected to be reached between 2020 and 2030 10

Beyond 2030 LIB production costs are however expected to start deviating from this curve 11

due to limiting raw material prices 12

2432 ESS 7

According to recent end-customer price data provided in [55] for 2018 typical consumer prices 8

for small scale (~10 kWh) stationary home storage systems are between 5000 and 15000 9

Euros leading to a relative price of 800 to 1200 eurokWh It is expected that these system prices 10

will benefit from the growing battery markets (also xEV) since similar LIB cell types can be 11

applied in both application areas With respect to inverters and other system related costs the 12

smaller market volume of home ESS indicates lower economy of scale effects as compared 13

to cells 14

244 Installation repair and maintenance costs 15

2441 xEV 16

So far no comprehensive information on repair and maintenance costs for the battery system 17

of xEVs are available Due to still rather accommodating service policies repair or 18

replacement of batteries is so far often covered by the manufacturer 19

2451 Second life and recycling considerations 6

Until today only pilot projects Strategy of automotive OEM regarding second life applications 7

is not known 8

Value of recycled materials can be estimated 9

Three main scenarios possible after end of 1st life (xEV) 10

1 Disposal of batteries (eg separation of liquid and solid components hazardous waste 11

disposal) 12

2 Recycling of batteries and direct regeneration and re-use of cathode materials (2a) or 13

recovery of metals (2b) 14

3 2nd life in ESS applications under limited load (low DOD cycling low power) 15

16

Scenario 1 will add another component to battery costs scenario 2 and 3 could significantly 17

decrease the cost of batteries if energy efficient recycling methods can be developed or viable 18

2nd life business models are established 19

26 Annex 1

2611 Modelling of addressable markets for electric applications 2

Vehicle markets (in units of registrations in the EU28 per year) and ESS markets (in units of 3

number of installed home PV systems or in units of overall renewable (PV wind) electricity 4

generation in the EU28 per year) were modelled by exponential functions 5

119872119905119886119901119901(119905) = 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 6

With Mtapp(t) being the total market volume of an application M0 the market size in 2015 and 7

120591 times 119871119899(2) the time t necessary to double the initial market volume M0 M0 and Tau were chosen 8

to fit existing market data 9

119872119886119901119901(119905) = 119888 times 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 10

With Mapp(t) being the addressable market and c a factor equal or smaller than 1 Parameter 11

c lt 1 was chosen to take into account that not the whole existing market Mtapp might be 12

addressable by electric technologies Eg a share of vehicles primarily used for long distance 13

travel might not be addressable by BEV but by PHEV only 14

The market addressable for passenger PHEV (as a transition technology on the path to full 15

electric vehicles) was modelled as the difference of total vehicle sales and BEV sales 16

119872119875119867119864119881(119905) = 119888 times 119872119905119901119886119904119904119890119899119892119890119903(119905) minus 119878119861119864119881(119905) 17

The market addressable for passenger BEV was modelled like Mapp(t) with c lt 1 18

2612 Modelling of sales numbers of xEV and ESS 19

Yearly sales numbers Sapp(t) for the different applications were modelled by logistic growth 20

functions Logistic functions can model diffusion of technologies into existing markets with a 21

given market volume M The market volume can be a moving target M = M(t) The relative 22

change of sales numbers Srsquoapp(t)Sapp(t) is proportional to the market volume not yet 23

developed by a technology Mapp(t) ndash Sapp(t) 24

119878119886119901119901(119905) = 119872119886119901119901(119905) times1

1 + 119864119909119901(minus119872119886119901119901(119905) times (119905 minus 1199050)120591)(119872119886119901119901(119905)

119878119886119901119901(1199050)minus 1)

25

With Tau being a time constant and Sapp(t0) being the yearly sales number at year t0 (eg 26

2015) 27

Short time constants Tau of few years were used to model ESS sales Due to limitations of 28

the existing electricity grid to only buffer a certain share of fluctuating PV and wind generated 29

electricity the further expansion of renewable electricity generation might be strongly coupled 30

to ESS installations Hence ESS sales were modelled to closely follow the assumed 31

installations of renewable power in the limit of ldquovery fastrdquo market diffusion (120591 rarr 0) 32

2613 Modelling of battery system capacities 33

Battery capacities EBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws In 34

particular BEV battery capacities increased in the last years from 30 kWh in 2013 to more than 35

40 kWh in 2018 (EU sales and production averages) In the long term we expect BEV 36

capacities to converge towards a value sufficient to provide average driving ranges of some 37

100 km Battery capacity growth rates are hence supposed to slow down 38

119864119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198640 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 1

With E0 being the average battery capacity in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years and 2

b an exponent lt 1 The parameters were chosen to fit existing data 3

2614 Modelling of battery replacement rates 4

Battery replacement rates RrBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws 5

The replacement rate defines the share of batteries installed in year t that had to be replaced 6

within the lifetime of a system (xEV ESS) In particular for vehicles it is assumed that xEV 7

manufacturers currently install battery cells with a high lifetime and cyclability (several 8

thousand cycles) In the mid-term we expect that battery life and vehicle life (eg 200000 to 9

300000 km) will be matched by car manufacturers Assuming a constant vehicle lifetime 10

battery replacement rates are supposed to increase over time 11

119877119903119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198770 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 12

With R0 being the average replacement rate in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years 13

and b an exponent lt 1 At present there is no data available to fit the parameters Parameters 14

were estimated based on the usage profile and load of different applications 15

2615 Modelling of system lifetimes (xEV ESS) 16

System lifetimes Ltsystem(t) were assumed to be constant Ltsystem(t)= Ltsystem Parameters were 17

estimated based on manufacturer statements and typical lifetimes for combustion powered 18

vehicles 19

2616 Calculation of battery replacements 20

Battery replacements RpBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 21

calculated by assuming a uniform distribution of battery replacements over the lifetime 22

Ltsystem(i) of battery systems installed in year i 23

119877119901119861119886119905119905(119905) = sum119877119903119861119886119905119905(119894) times 119878119886119901119901(119894) times 119864119861119886119905119905(119894)

24

2617 Calculation of battery decommissions 25

Battery decommissions DcBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 26

assumed to happen coincident with the end of life of the systems (Ltsystem) they were installed 27

in in year i This neglects any second life usage in t gt i It was assumed that xEV or ESS 28

manufacturers will tune the battery lifetime to match the system lifetime (see 2614) 29

2618 Calculation of yearly installed battery capacity 31

The yearly installed battery capacity Sbapp(t) in the EU28 was calculated as 32

119878119887119886119901119901(119905) = 119878119886119901119901(119905) times 119864119886119901119901119861119886119905119905(119905) + 119877119901119886119901119901

bull Market and installed stock assessment in units of number of systems (battery systems 1

for xEV battery systems for ESS) and corresponding battery capacity (MWh or GWh) 2

bull Replacement cycles and life time data This data is assumed to be strongly application 3

depending At present there is no comprehensive data available 4

2211 Useful data sources 5

Several market studies describing the present and future market situation for battery-based 6

applications exist Most of these studies have a global scope or focus on Asian countries due 7

to the structure of the battery market Comprehensive studies providing market data for the 8

EU and its member states are not known 9

To give an overview about stock and battery markets for the EU28 member states the 10

following bottom-up sources were utilized to give model estimations 11

bull Fraunhofer ISI in-house xEV database [3] The database has been developed in 2014 12

by Fraunhofer ISI and is updated since on an annual basis The last update was done 13

in November 2018 It covers global production and sales numbers for xEV models 14

broken down to countries as well as information on battery capacity and range of the 15

vehicles The database aggregates information provided by Marklines Co Ltd [4] the 16

European Alternative Fuels Observatory [5] the ev-sales blog [6] and other online 17

sources 18

bull Fraunhofer ISI in-house LIB database [7] The database covers information on the 19

major industrial players in the Li-ion business from materials to cell production The 20

development and location of production capacities is frequently updated Information 21

on performance and cost of commercially available battery cells as well as the meta 22

analysis of several studies providing forecasts on the respective developments are 23

also covered in the database Information is collected from several online sources and 24

available product data sheets 25

bull B3 corporation market studies B3 corporation provides topical market studies on xEV 26

ESS and material markets for Li-ion batteries The market data is updated on an 27

annual basis B3 studies have a global scope but occasionally also cover local 28

European markets 29

bull Additional market studies and databases as discussed in the following sections 30

222 Market stock and forecast for xEVs in Europe 31

As will be shown in section 23 the stock of installed medium or large-sized batteries in Europe 32

is strongly related to the diffusion of electric mobility In contrast to several Asian countries 33

xEV sales in Europe predominantly concern passenger cars Ebuses as well as light and 34

heavy commercial vehicles still do not play a major role in terms of installed capacity At 35

present the average energy content of a BEV passenger electric vehicle battery is higher than 36

40 kWh Small vehicles like the Renault Twizy feature a capacity of less than 10 kWh while 37

the models with highest capacity sold in EU28 countries approach the 100 kWh mark (Jaguar 38

iPace and Tesla Model X 90 kWh Tesla Model 3 73 kWh) The amount of battery capacity 39

installed in passenger PHEVs is about 10 kWh and has remained on a constant level over the 40

last years (see Figure 7) 41

2221 Production and sales of BEV 4

Figure 8 shows the number of produced BEVs [3] broken down to the production country from 5

2010 to 2018 A forecast until 2020 based on the average growth rates between 2016 and 6

2018 is shown in addition This production data is a measure for the demand of battery cells 7

in the individual EU28 countries 8

Germany France and the Netherlands lead the field of BEV producers in Europe On 9

European level an average yearly growth rate of over 40 can be observed It is expected 10

that the number of 150000 produced BEVs in 2018 will double in 2020 11

12

Figure 8 Production numbers for BEVs produced in EU28 countries and forecast until 2020 13

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

13

In contrast to the production data the sales numbers for BEV reflect the amount of installed 1

vehicle batteries in the individual EU28 countries It can be seen in Figure 9 that the proportion 2

among the EU28 countries in terms of sold vehicles is much more even as compared to the 3

production Germany France the United Kingdom and the Netherlands lead the market 4

however significant sales numbers can also be found in other countries The level and growth 5

rates of BEV sales is comparable to BEV production It should however be noted that there is 6

significant trade with other regions of the world eg BEV imports from KR (Hyundai) and JP 7

(Mitsubishi Nissan) and exports to North America (BMW Volkswagen) Hence the BEV 8

market can not be considered to be an internal market 9

2222 Production and sales of PHEV 12

Similar to section 2221 production and sales numbers for PHEV resolved by country are 13

shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11 Although on a comparable level in terms of produced and 14

sold vehicles it must be emphasized that the contribution of PHEVs to the demand for battery 15

capacity is due to the smaller size of the battery much less than the demand generated by 16

BEVs At present the main production sites for PHEVs are located in Germany Due to 17

production sites for Audi (VW) and Volvo PHEVs Sweden and Slovakia also significantly 18

contribute to the production 19

The data presented in sections 2221 and 2222 was used as an input for a forecast model 10

on passenger PHEV and BEV as well as light and heavy commercial xEVs (see also [8] and 11

section 26) 12

It was assumed that extrapolated EU wide sales numbers and growth rates for passenger as 13

well as light vehicles [9] represent natural boundaries for the growth of xEV markets Logistic 14

growth functions (see setion 26) were used to model market diffusion Passenger BEV were 15

assumed to be an initially faster growing transition technology which will partially be replaced 1

by BEV in the long term A passenger xEV lifetime of 12 years with battery replacement rates 2

of 15 per lifetime were assumed For commercial vehicles a lifetime of 9 years and 3

replacement rate of 25 and a lifetime of 12 years and battery replacement rate of 80 were 4

assumed for light and heavy vehicles respectively The assumption for the market model is 5

223 Market stock and forecast for ESS in Europe 3

As discussed in Task 1 several stationary applications for batteries exist ranging from grid 4

support to home storage As will be shown in section 23 the demand for battery capacity 5

generated by ESS applications at present is rather small as compared to 3C and motive 6

markets There is no systematic registration of large scale or small scale stationary storage 7

systems in the EU Hence the market stock and volume for respective applications can only 8

be estimated based on indirect data 9

2231 Photovoltaic installations in the EU 10

Energy storage systems in combination with photovoltaic installations are one major 11

application for batteries both for private as well as commercial purposes Due to changes in 12

reimbursement and subsidy policy as well as the physical capability of the energy system to 13

buffer and process high shares of renewable energy the use of local energy storage systems 14

is becoming more and more popular There is no data on the share of PV installations 15

equipped with an energy storage system for the EU However on regional level some data is 16

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

20

available According to [10] approximately half of the PV systems with a peak power below 1

30 kW installed in Germany in 2017 have been equipped with an energy storage option 2

(amounting to about 30000 storage systems with a cumulative capacity of 400 MWh) 3

At present the installation of storage systems is strongly coupled to new installations of PV 4

systems As shown in Figure 16 with data on Germany the retrofit of existing PV installations 5

with storage systems is however expected to contribute significantly to the demand for battery 6

capacity in the PV segment in the future Within the forecast shown 50 of the sold storage 7

systems might be integrated into already existing PV-systems in 2030 8

9

Figure 16 PV installations and retrofit of existing PV installations in Germany Data and image 10

taken from [11] 11

Figure 17 shows the yearly installed PV power (MW) in the EU28 [12] A boom of PV 12

installations can clearly be observed for the years 2010 to 2012 mainly driven by installations 13

in Germany and Italy Likely as a result of changing subsidy policies the yearly installed PV 14

power has since then steadily decreased in both countries On the other hand a steady 15

increase in installations can be observed for the Netherlands and the UK In the forecast model 16

applied in [12] a slight increase in new installations is expected until 2021 driven by 17

installations in the UK and Portugal as well as member countries which so far do not have 18

any considerable PV installations Due to decreasing costs for solar panels and rather stable 19

remuneration rates this upward trend seems to be justified 20

Figure 17 PV installations in EU28 countries and forecast until 2020 Data taken from [12] 2

Based on the data given in [10] for Germany 80 of the installed PV systems can be attributed 3

to small or medium sized installations (average of 10 kWp) directly feeding into the low-voltage 4

grid In terms of power these systems amount to about 30 of the installations If equipped 5

with an energy storage system the average battery capacity amounts to 8 to 10 kWh [13] 6

Concerning installations in Europe it can be argued that there is a trend towards smaller roof-7

top systems for more densely populated and less sunny regions while in particular in the 8

southern European countries larger solar parks are favored Since no comprehensive data 9

covering the whole EU is available only a rough estimation for the demand of battery storage 10

systems and capacity can be made 11

Assuming that the number of smaller roof-top installations (30 of power) as well as the 12

number of systems equipped with an ESS (50 of installations lt 30 kWp) is above average 13

for Germany as compared to the rest of the EU the market data and forecasts given in [12] 14

and [11] would lead to a demand for battery capacity as summarized in Table 5 15

2232 Wind Turbine installations in the EU 5

Similar to section 2231 for PV installations Figure 18 shows data and forecasts for wind 6

turbine power installations in the EU28 [12] In contrast to PV installations wind turbine power 7

is almost exclusively attributed to larger scale wind parks We conclude that the use of small 8

scale ESS for the optimization of private energy consumption is therefore not driven by wind 9

power installations 10

Still the ongoing installation of wind turbine power in the EU28 might become a driver for large 11

scale decentralized energy storage systems however there is no market data available which 12

would allow for a battery demand forecast 13

the 450 MWh installed until 2018 in total 340 MWh were installed in Germany and 80 MWh 8

in the UK Since this is not an exhaustive list it can be considered as lower boundary for the 9

installed stock 10

Figure 19 Installed ESS capacity (stock) in large scale projects in EU28 A ratio of 11 with 2

respect to installed power and installed energy content (capacity) was assumed [14] 3

Table 6 lists larger scale (~MWh) stationary storage systems installed in the EU in 2017 [12] 4

80 of these installations are categorized as substation storage 6 relates to frequency 5

stabilization 5 to storage of wind-generated energy and 1 to storage of PV-generated 6

energy 7

Note that most of these installations are prototype or test facilities which does not allow to 8

use this application share as template for future market developments The total installed 9

capacity of 340 MWh in 2017 suggests that the market volume of large scale ESS is of the 10

same order of magnitude as that of home storage Note that the installed capacity for 2017 in 11

[14] is only 65 MWh It is however not stated in [12] whether the listed ESS projects are still in 12

2234 Forecast ESS sales and stock EU28 2

The data presented in sections 2231 2232 and 2233 was used as an input for a forecast 3

model on large scale and home ESS 4

EU wide sales numbers and growth rates for PV coupled home storage systems were 5

extrapolated with declining growth rates for 2035 and beyond With respect to large scale ESS 6

it was assumed that the generation of electricity by renewable sources exceeding 17 (2015 7

value [15]) of the total electricity generation necessitates a certain amount of ESS buffer 8

capacity EU 2020 and 2030 targets [16 17] for the share of renewable electricity generation 9

were used as a forecast model The buffer capacity demand was estimated to be 70 of the 10

daily electrical energy generated by renewables exceeding the share of 17 11

A lifetime of 20 years with a replacement rate of 10 was assumed for home ESS and a 12

lifetime of 20 years with a battery replacement rate of 80 within this lifetime was assumed 13

for large scale ESS System capacities were modelled by a power law based on present-day 14

values The assumptions for the market model are summarized in Table 7 and Table 8 and 15

shall be subject to discussion during the stakeholder meeting 16

224 Summary of the market sales forecast and estimation of the future 1

and past stock 2

As shown in sections 222 and 223 several drivers exist for the application of battery storage 3

systems in stationary and motive applications While the demand for battery capacity 4

generated by BEV and PHEV passenger cars was on the level of several GWh for 2017 the 5

ESS markets might still be below the 1 GWh mark in the EU 6

With respect to the increase of average battery capacity installed in different applications (see 7

Figure 22) and the growth rates for the sales of xEV and ESS (see sections 2223 and 8

2232) forecasts for the total new installations (including replacements) of batteries in the 9

EU28 are shown in Figure 23 See annex for further comments 10

11

Figure 22 Average system battery energy (kWh or MWh) forecast 12

It can be expected that the demand generated by sales and replacements in the EU28 will 13

amount to about 20 GWh by 2020 100 GWh by 2025 and more than 400 GWh by 2030 14

231 General objective of subtask 23 and approach 4

The following chapter provides a comprehensive market overview on global battery sales 5

demand and players Starting with the market development of Lithium-ion batteries between 6

2010 to 2017 scenarios until 2025 to 2030 are presented including a meta-analysis of several 7

most recent market reports (eg [18ndash27]) Step by step the regional markets and markets by 8

applications will be specified 9

232 Market drivers and CO2 legislation [28] 10

Climate and energy policies are main drivers for the energy future and are expected to lead to 11

an increasing demand for energy storage in the mid and long term (see Figure 24) According 12

to the European Unionacutes decarbonization objective a reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) 13

emissions to 80 ndash 95 below 1990 levels should be achieved by 2050 14

In particular for the transport sector no full decarbonization is achieved [29] even in the longer 15

term (other sectors have to compensate with higher GHG reductions) The overall reduction 16

achieved in the transport sector by 2050 is only around 60 below 1990 levels The 17

increasing trend in emissions seen over the past 20 years is expected to reverse by the CO2 18

legislation From 2020 on the fleet average to be achieved by all new cars is 95 grams of CO2 19

per kilometer (compared to 130 gkm in 2015) 20

Many other governments world-wide have specified CO2 emission targets and are striving 21

towards a low carbon economy Particularly in the field of passenger and commercial vehicles 22

fuel consumption and emission targets have been installed which significantly drive the 23

introduction of battery or fuel cell powered electric vehicles Among these emission policies 24

the targets set by the EU are among the most ambitious (see Table 11) Meeting them will 25

require a significant share of electric vehicles 26

Table 11 Overview about fuel consumption and CO2-emission targets for passenger vehicles 1

of the EU and other countries leading battery and electric mobility markets [30] 2

In this context electric mobility is gaining importance since electric vehicles especially plug-3

in hybrid and pure battery electric vehicles can help to achieve or fulfill these limits due to 4

improved CO2 footprints compared to conventional cars However for low CO2 footprints over 5

the lifetime of electric cars a high share of ldquolow carbonrdquo renewable energy sources (RES) in 6

the energy mix is needed and important (Figure 24 left side) 7

8

Figure 24 Climate and energy policies as drivers for future energy storage demand [28] 9

The EU Energy Roadmap 2050 [31 32] has shown across six scenarios that the 10

decarbonization goal can be achieved if the share of renewable energy sources (RES) among 11

the power generation capacity is high (gt 60 until 2050) for all scenarios Especially for the 12

high RES scenario the share of fluctuating energy generation (wind photovoltaic ndash PV) is the 13

strongest which has to be balanced Grid expansion andor flexibilization measures (eg 14

demand side management power to gas and vehicle to grid besides stationary battery 15

storage) are potential solutions Thus the high RES scenario is the most interesting scenario 16

with respect to a potential future demand for energy storage solutions (ESS) on local 17

distribution and transmission grid levels (Figure 24 right side) In order to have a significant 18

GHG reduction with EVs it will also be important to achieve the RES targets 19

233 The developing battery market 1

The total annual battery market is currently on the level of 45-60 billion Euro representing 2

approximately 400-500 GWh (including Lead-acid Lithium-Ion and other batteries) [33] 3

Lithium-ion batteries (LIB) have succeeded because of their high gravimetric and volumetric 4

energy densities and have a market share of about a third in terms of value among the whole 5

battery market The growth is driven by the decreasing cell costs of less than 170 eurokWh for a 6

standard cylindrical cell (lowest prices) approaching the 90 eurokWh mark in the next years This 7

cost degression is due to increasing capacity demand and production and thus due to scale 8

effects 9

Although the LIB market is drastically growing with annual growth rates of up to 30 percent 10

on average (in terms of battery capacity demand) the dominating battery technology in terms 11

of capacity however are still lead-acid batteries representing about 90 percent of the global 12

demand in volume around 2010 and 80 percent in 2017 13

14

15

Figure 25 Historical development of the global battery demand in GWh (left axis for NiCd 16

NiMH right axis for all other battery types grey total battery demand) [34] 17

Other mature battery technologies like NiCd (still partly used in power tools) and NiMH (still 18

used in hybrid electric vehicles HEV) are slowly declining and are expected to disappear from 19

the market in the next decade The diversification of future battery applications however will 20

also broaden the range of battery technologies Emerging technologies like Na-based Metal-21

Sulfur or Redox Flow batteries are developing and may lead to attractive solutions eg with 22

respect to cost and resource availability advantages However due to very strict requirements 23

on volumetric energy densities these technologies are expected to be relevant for stationary 24

or other special markets and less for the most significant electric vehicle market In general 25

each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses and none of them can satisfy all user 26

demands Hence a broader application-specific technology portfolio is urgently needed in 27

order to provide alternative technology solutions in the future 28

The extremely dynamic development of the global LIB demand will lead to the TWh level latest 29

around 2030 and grow further after 2030 Thus LIB will very soon transform into the 30

dominating energy storage technology 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

34

Figure 26 shows three different scenarios for the global demand for LIB between 2010 and 1

2030 (green curves) along with global production capacities (orange and blue curve)[33] 2

While at the beginning of the decade the demand and sales numbers followed the medium 3

growth rate trend scenario the market has been approaching the high growth rate scenario in 4

the last years This is mainly due to the strong engagement of politics and respective 5

regulation and subsidy programs for electric mobility As can be seen from the graph the 6

share of demand generated by motive applications is expected to significantly grow in the next 7

years and might account for more than one third of the total LIB demand by 2025 8

To face this increasing demand for LIB cells accordingly production capacities need to be 9

build up in the near future Based on the currently existing cell production capacities and the 10

global announcements from established and new cell producers until 2025 the LIB cell 11

production capacities (blue line in 12

Figure 26) have been identified Compared to 15 GWh added production capacity between 13

2013 and 2016 in the next years around 50 GWh will be added annually leading to around 14

700 GWh production capacities until 2025 (in the optimistic case see blue line in 15

Figure 26) The announcements include established players such as Panasonic (JP) LG 16

Chem (KR) Samsung (KR) SKI (KR) BYD (CN) Lishen (CN) CATL (CN) CALB (CN) 17

OPTIMUM (CN) and several further Chinese cell producers Also new players such as TerraE 18

(DE) Northvolt (SW) Boston Energy (US AU) Energy Absolute (Thailand) are included 19

while accounting for the different stages of expansion [20 27] 20

234 Battery markets by application 23

Diversification of applications for batteries 24

The above described global developments of battery demand and production strongly concern 25

high-energy lithium-ion batteries with the cell chemistries NMC NCA (Ni-rich and Co-reduced 26

cathodes) and SiC (high capacity SiC anodes with 5-10 or higher Si content) and cell 27

formats cylindrical (eg larger 21700 compared to standard 18650) large pouch or prismatic 28

cells The target is to develop and produce cells with improved gravimetric and volumetric 29

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

35

energy densities and reduced costs in order to meet the requirements of the automotive 1

industry Electric passenger cars are driving the demand and thus development of the battery 2

technology and these optimized and cost reduced batteries define the benchmark today and 3

in the future 4

LIB demand by applications 5

In Figure 27 the global LIB demand is broken down to the three main sectors for battery 6

demand which can be characterised each having different profiles of requirement 7

bull electric mobility or electric vehicles (EV including eg passenger cars light 8

commercial vehicles buses trucks scooters ebikes etc) 9

bull stationary energy storage systems (ESS) and 10

bull portable devices (3C ndash Computer Communication Consumer) 11

The LIB cell demand developed to almost 25 GWh in 2010 since the market introduction in 12

the early 1990s and dominantly resulted from portable devices In 2015 the cell demand of 13

about 70 GWh was distributed already almost 5050 between 3C and EV applications 14

15

Figure 27 Global LIB demand (in GWh and share in ) by segment [34] 16

Since 2015 the global LIB demand has increased with compound annual growth rates 17

(CAGR) of ~25 from about 70 GWh to about 110 GWh in 2017 The market for electric 18

vehicles currently grows with 30-40 (and more depending on the application and region) and 19

a diversification in applications (eg buses trucks other light to heavy commercial vehicles 20

marine applications drones etc) can be observed 21

With the diversification of future markets and applications cost sensitive markets will arise for 22

which optimized high-energy and cost reduced automotive cells of certain cell formats will be 23

used However also applications with stronger requirements on long lifetime high cycleability 24

fast charging capability safety etc will emerge and diffuse where cost is not the most 25

relevant factor and other battery technologies (ie cell chemistries formats) can provide a 26

unique selling proposition and hence lead to a product differentiation 27

2341 LIB markets for 3C applications 28

Portable devices (3C) have been the main applications for LIB cells in the past Power tools 29

medical devices and wearables are expected to be products with an emerging future market 30

for small LIB cells but with enormous quantities The price per kWh that can be stored plays a 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

36

less important role for these applications As far as charging is concerned technologies such 1

as energy harvesting and wireless charging are expected to be introduced in the future For 2

many markets and products such as household devices garden cleaning power tools other 3

mobile leisure applications etc today mostly cylindrical LIB cells of the format 18650 are used 4

With the introduction of 21700 cells also larger cylindrical cells become available now and are 5

expected to be used in diffuse in such applications Although different specific cell chemistries 6

might be suitable depending on the concrete application again it can be stated that the 3C 7

segment is expected to lead to a comparably small battery capacity demand compared to the 8

EV segment and will not be the limiting segment with respect to the risk of resource 9

dependencies 10

In the next few years growth rates of about 5 to 10 percent are expected for the 3C markets 11

while laptop battery demand is developing at lower growth rates and power tools medical 12

devices etc are supporting the growth rates for the battery demand 13

14

15

Figure 28 Demand and growth of the 3C LIB market [34] 16

2342 LIB markets for stationary (ESS) applications 17

Stationary energy storage systems (ESS) can be divided into different size classes with regard 18

to the capacity and charging times Both together decide on the application area (eg small 19

PV storage at home peak load to long-term storage) [35] Beyond that the price per kWh put 20

through over the lifetime is the economic key factor (as synthesized by the LCOE levelized 21

cost of energy) In contrast gravimetric and volumetric energy density plays a subordinate 22

role Due to that lead-acid batteries were often used as storage technology for off- and on-23

grid storage Currently LIBs are being established for commercial use and meanwhile reach 24

an annual demand of some few GWh Other electrochemical storage technologies such as 25

sodium-sulfur batteries are still used but the demand for LIB is strongly increasing for ESS It 26

is expected that 2nd life concepts for batteries that had their first life in electric vehicles will 27

gain importance together with market diffusion in the EV segment as the requirements on the 28

batteries are less demanding in the ESS segment This however will require the development 29

of according business models standardization etc The much broader available technology 30

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

37

portfolio for ESS applications the use of 2nd life batteries and the fact that electric vehicle 1

batteries that are connected to the grid on a large scale with higher market diffusion can be 2

regarded as stationary storage systems as well (vehicle to grid V2G grid to vehicle G2V) help 3

to reduce the risk of technological and resource dependencies in the future 4

The market for stationary storage applications (ESS) is experiencing growth rates of 20 to 30 5

percent depending on individual market forecasts (in the last years CAGR have even been on 6

the level of 60 but decrease with increasing size of the market see Figure 29) 7

The market is currently on a level of few GWh including applications from smaller PV storage 8

systems of 5-10 kWh to larger industrial and grid connected installations for own power 9

consumption peak shaving etc on the MWh level Regarding these growth rates LIB for ESS 10

applications rapidly gain importance as de-central storage solutions compared to the currently 11

dominating central pumped hydro storage (PHS) Forecasts to 2025 differ by size and expect 12

an ESS LIB demand between 20-50 GWh (partially higher eg in [23]) but all forecasts identify 13

high growth rates 14

15

Figure 29 Demand and growth of the ESS LIB market [34] 16

17

2343 LIB markets for electric vehicle applications 18

One of the biggest challenges for batteries for electric vehicles (EV including electric cars 19

buses trucks etc) apart from their price is the increase of their volumetric and gravimetric 20

energy density The volumetric energy density is even more important for OEM due to 21

restricted and fixed space and location of the battery in an electric vehicle A very relevant 22

parameter of a battery is its charging and discharging power in particular in continuous 23

operation It determines the fast-charging capability which is an important argument in the 24

use and the establishment on the market At the same time this sets limits to the high-25

performance operation since energy consumption is reduced to protect the battery from 26

damage This illustrates the conflicting effect of different parameters on the battery lifetime 27

Price volume weight and thus charge density as well as chargedischarge rate in terms of 28

usage and durability are the most urgent challenges for battery manufacturers 29

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

38

The market for EV batteries is currently at the level of about 50 GWh (including electric 1

passenger cars busses trucks ebikes scooter forklifts etc) Growth rates are at 20 to 40 2

percent and the demand for EV batteries will lead to a share of about 66 percent in 2020 76 3

percent until 2025 and 80 percent or higher in the long term Electric passenger cars (BEV 4

and PHEV) define the by far largest market within the EV segment and are clearly driving the 5

technology development of high energy Lithium-Ion or Lithium-based batteries in the future 6

7

Figure 30 Demand and growth of the EV LIB market [34] 8

9

Other motive (or stationary or portable) markets applications besides the highly competitive 10

electric passenger cars therefore can offer interesting growth markets also for smaller cell 11

producers beyond the large Japanese Korean and Chinese cell producers These markets or 12

applications very often define concrete requirements for the battery performance they require 13

an in depth understanding and design from the cell chemistry format to the modulepack and 14

system integration and they still vary strongly by region and are connected to individual system 15

integrators or OEM This is because each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses 16

and none of them can satisfy all userapplication demands Hence a broader application 17

specific technology portfolio is even urgently needed in order to provide alternative individual 18

technology solutions for these emerging marketsapplications 19

20

235 Market channels and production structure 21

2351 Global production capacities and major players 22

Since their commercialization in the 1990s LIB have been predominantly produced by 23

Japanese and Korean companies Driven by the Chinese government particularly cell 24

producers but also companies covering other steps of the LIB value creation chain have been 25

established in China Due to a policy of simultaneous support for LIB production as well as for 26

application markets and due to an extensive subsidy scheme a large share of LIB production 27

capacities is located in China today 28

Figure 31 Figure 32 Figure 33 and Figure 34 show the global LIB production capacities of 29

major cell producers in 2018 as well as forecasts for 2020 2025 and 2030 respectively [36] 30

The data is based on announcements made by the cell producers As discussed in section 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

39

233 the actual time-frame for the implementation of the capacity expansions is often delayed 1

with respect to the original announcements Hence minimum and maximum values for the 2

production capacities are given 3

Figure 34 Global LIB production capacities of major cell producers in 2030 [36] 2

Until 2030 the announced production capacities add up to more than 1 TWh In total there 3

are about 30 cell producers which have announced to build up production capacities of more 4

than 10 GWhyear which can be considered to be a threshold in order to be able to produce 5

at competitve costs [36] If the announced capacities are fully utilized the ldquobig 4rdquo (Panasonic 6

CATL LGC and BYD) will be able to fully cover the market demand (gt550 GWh) until 2025 7

2352 Europes position in the global battery value chain 8

In the EU several actors are positioned which cover production steps along the whole value 9

chain of LIBs starting from raw material production to production of cells and systems and 10

finally recycling However with respect to global markets only few organizations within the EU 11

have a market share of more than 1 in their specific segment eg BASF Germany in the 12

field of electrolyte production [30] 13

An overview about existing and active companies is given by the European Battery Alliance 14

(see Figure 35) Due to the presence of strong automotive OEM LIB pack manufacturing and 15

system integration is taking place on large scale in Europe A particular gap in the value chain 16

is present due to the lack of a large-scale cell production capable of serving the volumes and 17

prices required by the automotive industry 18

Several consortia are currently attempting to build up a European large scale cell 4

manufacturing such as Nothvolt (Sweden) with 32 GWh until 2023 or Saft (together with 5

Siemens and Manz) [39] Recently the German government announced plans for funding of 6

a Batterie-Cell-Alliance between Germany and Poland with cell production capacities in the 7

Regions Lausitz (Germany) and Westpoland [40 41] At the cross section between RampD and 8

large-scale production also a Research Production with 600 Mio EUR funding is foreseen 9

whereas the Fraunhofer Society should coordinate and run such a research production [42] 10

The announced funding from the German government sums up to 2 bn EUR 11

Given all these announced investments and production capacities to build up in the next years 12

the cell production capacities of European cell manufacturers could sum up to over 40 GWh 13

beyond 2025 In contrast main Asian cell manufacturer have already started with cell 14

production (eg LG SDI) or plan to build up production capacities until 2020 to 2025 In 15

concrete there are plans from [43ndash51] 16

17

bull CATL (China) to build 14 GWh in Germany Erfurt beyond 2020 18

bull LG Chem (Japan) to build 15 to 24 GWh (for 03 Mio EVs) in Poland beyond 2020 19

bull Samsung SDI (Japan) to build 10 to 15 GWh beyond 2020 in Hungary (including a 20

recent 5 GWh announcement for 21700 cells for Land Rover 21

bull SK Innovation (Japan) to build 75 GWh in Hungary beyond 2020 22

bull PanasonicTesla to build a (assumed 35GWh) Gigafactory in Europa around 2025 23

bull as well as from BYD (China) GS Yuasa (Japan) and Farasis (US) to build production 24

capacities between 2020 and 2025 25

26

The production capacities from Asian (or non-European) cell manufacturer might sum up to 27

well above 82-96 GWh by 2025 and including BYD GS Yuasa Farasis etc capacities far 28

above 100 GWh can be expected Together with the new EU cell producers this could easily 29

sum up towards the above mentioned 200 GWh demand in Europe But it also clearly indicates 30

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

44

the competition the emerging European players have to face (besides the fact that the plans 1

of the Asian companies are expected to be realized already several years earlier as those of 2

the novel EU companies) 3

2353 Product design trends and technological roadmap 4

Concerning the battery technology or type (by chemistry format etc) which will most likely 5

be produced to address this increasing demand the global roadmaps of cell producers are 6

basically similar Based on state-of-the art cell design (eg LFP NCA based ldquogeneration 1rdquo 7

and NMC111 to NMC532 ldquogeneration 2abrdquo Li-ion batteries) [52] and state-of-the-art 8

production equipment incremental improvements are expected in the next few years but with 9

the target to get to higher-energy lithium-ion batteries Concerning the electrolytes still liquid 10

electrolytes will be used but adopted to the changing electrode materials (eg with additives) 11

Current trends for layered oxide cathodes describe the development of Ni-rich (Co reduced) 12

materials (NMC) A few cell producers are already using NMC811 or comparable cathode 13

materials others are still adopting NMC622 (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3ardquo) On cathode 14

side maybe even lower-cost Mn-rich High Energy NMCs (HE-NMC) might be realized and 15

produced within ~10 years as Mn is cheaper than Ni (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3brdquo) On 16

anode side the trend is to incorporate Si-nano particles to make use of the alloying reaction 17

between Si and Li yielding a high capacitance This however comes at the cost of cycle life 18

Further down the road we might see higher Si contents (~20) 19

20

All-solid-state batteries are on the roadmap of many battery producers but also OEM (also 21

referred to as ldquogeneration 4rdquo) The key performance parameters (KPI) are suitable for electric 22

mobility (EV) Main challenges are indeed manufacturability particularly for ceramic solid state 23

electrolytes which promise to yield the highest advantages over state of the art technologies 24

The market introduction in niche applications is expected possible prior to the use in 25

automotive applications First all-solid-state batteries might not be competitive in terms of 26

energy density but safety properties Later on energy densities of 350-400 Whkg and higher 27

are expected 28

Li-ion batteries but (according to the current level of knowledge) do not reach the necessary 5

KPIs in terms of energy density power density and cycling stability necessary for electric 6

mobility (these are marked in grey) USPs of these technologies can be cost resource 7

availability either volumetric or gravimetric energy density or others But often even 8

fundamental challenges are not solved yet (eg concerning the stability of materials and 9

24 Consumer expenditure base data 2

241 General objective of subtask 24 and approach 3

Subtask 24 gives an overview about average production costs and consumer prices incl 4

VAT (for consumer prices streetprice) excl VAT (for B2B products) as well as an estimation 5

of repair and maintenance as well as installation and disposal costs 6

Due to their recent larger scale market introduction there is still little experience with 7

maintenance as well as disposal expenses Hence only estimations can be made based on 8

isolated sources 9

242 Development of LIB cell costs 10

As the core of LIB based energy storage systems the battery cell exhibits the highest cost 11

share During the last years particularly standardized 18650 format LIB cells have 12

experienced a steep cost learning curve benefiting from production scale effects but also 13

from technological advancements on material level increasing the energy density per volume 14

and weight and decreasing the amount of cost intense Cobalt-based components Compared 15

to this benchmark larger format LIB cells (Pouch prismatic) as are utilized in xEVs and ESS 16

predominantly feature lower energy densities at higher cost per kWh There are however no 17

principal limitations which would prevent a performance and cost development similar to what 18

was observed for cylindrical cells Figure 39 shows the cost learning curves for cylindrical as 19

well as larger format LIB cells [33] Today average costs for cells suitable for automotive use 20

are below 150 eurokWh (cylindrical) and around 200 eurokWh (Pouchprismatic) In specific cases 21

prices around 100 eurokWh have been reported already [53] It should however be noted that 22

with the current market situation LIB prices being below costs are not unlikely to occur 23

Until 2025 production costs of the different cell formats are expected to approach and fall 24

below the mark of 100 eurokWh between 2020 and 2025 Taking further developments on 25

material level into account costs around 60-100 eurokWh seam feasible past 2025 26

Figure 39 Cost learning curves for large LIB cells (cylindrical and Pouchprismatic) [33] 3

Similar cost learning curves have been observed for other battery technologies (see Figure 4

40) In principal cost degression can be limited by demand (compare NiCd) or by reaching 5

material cost limits (compare Pb) Also the diffusion of battery technologies in new markets 6

or applications can lead to further technological improvements and justify higher production 7

costs (compare deviation of NiMH Pb) Following the available data for LIB cells approx 100 8

$kWh (~89 eurokWh) are reached at a cumulative yearly production of 1TWh This mark is 9

expected to be reached between 2020 and 2030 10

Beyond 2030 LIB production costs are however expected to start deviating from this curve 11

due to limiting raw material prices 12

Will be added in a later review 6

2432 ESS 7

According to recent end-customer price data provided in [55] for 2018 typical consumer prices 8

for small scale (~10 kWh) stationary home storage systems are between 5000 and 15000 9

Euros leading to a relative price of 800 to 1200 eurokWh It is expected that these system prices 10

will benefit from the growing battery markets (also xEV) since similar LIB cell types can be 11

applied in both application areas With respect to inverters and other system related costs the 12

smaller market volume of home ESS indicates lower economy of scale effects as compared 13

to cells 14

So far no comprehensive information on repair and maintenance costs for the battery system 17

of xEVs are available Due to still rather accommodating service policies repair or 18

replacement of batteries is so far often covered by the manufacturer 19

2451 Second life and recycling considerations 6

Until today only pilot projects Strategy of automotive OEM regarding second life applications 7

is not known 8

Value of recycled materials can be estimated 9

Three main scenarios possible after end of 1st life (xEV) 10

1 Disposal of batteries (eg separation of liquid and solid components hazardous waste 11

disposal) 12

2 Recycling of batteries and direct regeneration and re-use of cathode materials (2a) or 13

recovery of metals (2b) 14

3 2nd life in ESS applications under limited load (low DOD cycling low power) 15

16

Scenario 1 will add another component to battery costs scenario 2 and 3 could significantly 17

decrease the cost of batteries if energy efficient recycling methods can be developed or viable 18

2nd life business models are established 19

26 Annex 1

2611 Modelling of addressable markets for electric applications 2

Vehicle markets (in units of registrations in the EU28 per year) and ESS markets (in units of 3

number of installed home PV systems or in units of overall renewable (PV wind) electricity 4

generation in the EU28 per year) were modelled by exponential functions 5

119872119905119886119901119901(119905) = 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 6

With Mtapp(t) being the total market volume of an application M0 the market size in 2015 and 7

120591 times 119871119899(2) the time t necessary to double the initial market volume M0 M0 and Tau were chosen 8

to fit existing market data 9

119872119886119901119901(119905) = 119888 times 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 10

With Mapp(t) being the addressable market and c a factor equal or smaller than 1 Parameter 11

c lt 1 was chosen to take into account that not the whole existing market Mtapp might be 12

addressable by electric technologies Eg a share of vehicles primarily used for long distance 13

travel might not be addressable by BEV but by PHEV only 14

The market addressable for passenger PHEV (as a transition technology on the path to full 15

electric vehicles) was modelled as the difference of total vehicle sales and BEV sales 16

119872119875119867119864119881(119905) = 119888 times 119872119905119901119886119904119904119890119899119892119890119903(119905) minus 119878119861119864119881(119905) 17

The market addressable for passenger BEV was modelled like Mapp(t) with c lt 1 18

2612 Modelling of sales numbers of xEV and ESS 19

Yearly sales numbers Sapp(t) for the different applications were modelled by logistic growth 20

functions Logistic functions can model diffusion of technologies into existing markets with a 21

given market volume M The market volume can be a moving target M = M(t) The relative 22

change of sales numbers Srsquoapp(t)Sapp(t) is proportional to the market volume not yet 23

developed by a technology Mapp(t) ndash Sapp(t) 24

119878119886119901119901(119905) = 119872119886119901119901(119905) times1

1 + 119864119909119901(minus119872119886119901119901(119905) times (119905 minus 1199050)120591)(119872119886119901119901(119905)

119878119886119901119901(1199050)minus 1)

25

With Tau being a time constant and Sapp(t0) being the yearly sales number at year t0 (eg 26

2015) 27

Short time constants Tau of few years were used to model ESS sales Due to limitations of 28

the existing electricity grid to only buffer a certain share of fluctuating PV and wind generated 29

electricity the further expansion of renewable electricity generation might be strongly coupled 30

to ESS installations Hence ESS sales were modelled to closely follow the assumed 31

installations of renewable power in the limit of ldquovery fastrdquo market diffusion (120591 rarr 0) 32

2613 Modelling of battery system capacities 33

Battery capacities EBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws In 34

particular BEV battery capacities increased in the last years from 30 kWh in 2013 to more than 35

40 kWh in 2018 (EU sales and production averages) In the long term we expect BEV 36

capacities to converge towards a value sufficient to provide average driving ranges of some 37

100 km Battery capacity growth rates are hence supposed to slow down 38

119864119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198640 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 1

With E0 being the average battery capacity in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years and 2

b an exponent lt 1 The parameters were chosen to fit existing data 3

2614 Modelling of battery replacement rates 4

Battery replacement rates RrBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws 5

The replacement rate defines the share of batteries installed in year t that had to be replaced 6

within the lifetime of a system (xEV ESS) In particular for vehicles it is assumed that xEV 7

manufacturers currently install battery cells with a high lifetime and cyclability (several 8

thousand cycles) In the mid-term we expect that battery life and vehicle life (eg 200000 to 9

300000 km) will be matched by car manufacturers Assuming a constant vehicle lifetime 10

battery replacement rates are supposed to increase over time 11

119877119903119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198770 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 12

With R0 being the average replacement rate in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years 13

and b an exponent lt 1 At present there is no data available to fit the parameters Parameters 14

were estimated based on the usage profile and load of different applications 15

2615 Modelling of system lifetimes (xEV ESS) 16

System lifetimes Ltsystem(t) were assumed to be constant Ltsystem(t)= Ltsystem Parameters were 17

estimated based on manufacturer statements and typical lifetimes for combustion powered 18

vehicles 19

2616 Calculation of battery replacements 20

Battery replacements RpBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 21

calculated by assuming a uniform distribution of battery replacements over the lifetime 22

Ltsystem(i) of battery systems installed in year i 23

119877119901119861119886119905119905(119905) = sum119877119903119861119886119905119905(119894) times 119878119886119901119901(119894) times 119864119861119886119905119905(119894)

24

2617 Calculation of battery decommissions 25

Battery decommissions DcBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 26

assumed to happen coincident with the end of life of the systems (Ltsystem) they were installed 27

in in year i This neglects any second life usage in t gt i It was assumed that xEV or ESS 28

manufacturers will tune the battery lifetime to match the system lifetime (see 2614) 29

2618 Calculation of yearly installed battery capacity 31

The yearly installed battery capacity Sbapp(t) in the EU28 was calculated as 32

119878119887119886119901119901(119905) = 119878119886119901119901(119905) times 119864119886119901119901119861119886119905119905(119905) + 119877119901119886119901119901

2221 Production and sales of BEV 4

Figure 8 shows the number of produced BEVs [3] broken down to the production country from 5

2010 to 2018 A forecast until 2020 based on the average growth rates between 2016 and 6

2018 is shown in addition This production data is a measure for the demand of battery cells 7

in the individual EU28 countries 8

Germany France and the Netherlands lead the field of BEV producers in Europe On 9

European level an average yearly growth rate of over 40 can be observed It is expected 10

that the number of 150000 produced BEVs in 2018 will double in 2020 11

In contrast to the production data the sales numbers for BEV reflect the amount of installed 1

vehicle batteries in the individual EU28 countries It can be seen in Figure 9 that the proportion 2

among the EU28 countries in terms of sold vehicles is much more even as compared to the 3

production Germany France the United Kingdom and the Netherlands lead the market 4

however significant sales numbers can also be found in other countries The level and growth 5

rates of BEV sales is comparable to BEV production It should however be noted that there is 6

significant trade with other regions of the world eg BEV imports from KR (Hyundai) and JP 7

(Mitsubishi Nissan) and exports to North America (BMW Volkswagen) Hence the BEV 8

market can not be considered to be an internal market 9

2222 Production and sales of PHEV 12

Similar to section 2221 production and sales numbers for PHEV resolved by country are 13

shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11 Although on a comparable level in terms of produced and 14

sold vehicles it must be emphasized that the contribution of PHEVs to the demand for battery 15

capacity is due to the smaller size of the battery much less than the demand generated by 16

BEVs At present the main production sites for PHEVs are located in Germany Due to 17

production sites for Audi (VW) and Volvo PHEVs Sweden and Slovakia also significantly 18

contribute to the production 19

The data presented in sections 2221 and 2222 was used as an input for a forecast model 10

on passenger PHEV and BEV as well as light and heavy commercial xEVs (see also [8] and 11

section 26) 12

It was assumed that extrapolated EU wide sales numbers and growth rates for passenger as 13

well as light vehicles [9] represent natural boundaries for the growth of xEV markets Logistic 14

growth functions (see setion 26) were used to model market diffusion Passenger BEV were 15

assumed to replace 75 of all passenger car sales in the long term Passenger PHEV were 16

assumed to be an initially faster growing transition technology which will partially be replaced 1

by BEV in the long term A passenger xEV lifetime of 12 years with battery replacement rates 2

of 15 per lifetime were assumed For commercial vehicles a lifetime of 9 years and 3

replacement rate of 25 and a lifetime of 12 years and battery replacement rate of 80 were 4

assumed for light and heavy vehicles respectively The assumption for the market model is 5

223 Market stock and forecast for ESS in Europe 3

As discussed in Task 1 several stationary applications for batteries exist ranging from grid 4

support to home storage As will be shown in section 23 the demand for battery capacity 5

generated by ESS applications at present is rather small as compared to 3C and motive 6

markets There is no systematic registration of large scale or small scale stationary storage 7

systems in the EU Hence the market stock and volume for respective applications can only 8

be estimated based on indirect data 9

2231 Photovoltaic installations in the EU 10

Energy storage systems in combination with photovoltaic installations are one major 11

application for batteries both for private as well as commercial purposes Due to changes in 12

reimbursement and subsidy policy as well as the physical capability of the energy system to 13

buffer and process high shares of renewable energy the use of local energy storage systems 14

is becoming more and more popular There is no data on the share of PV installations 15

equipped with an energy storage system for the EU However on regional level some data is 16

20

available According to [10] approximately half of the PV systems with a peak power below 1

30 kW installed in Germany in 2017 have been equipped with an energy storage option 2

(amounting to about 30000 storage systems with a cumulative capacity of 400 MWh) 3

At present the installation of storage systems is strongly coupled to new installations of PV 4

systems As shown in Figure 16 with data on Germany the retrofit of existing PV installations 5

with storage systems is however expected to contribute significantly to the demand for battery 6

capacity in the PV segment in the future Within the forecast shown 50 of the sold storage 7

systems might be integrated into already existing PV-systems in 2030 8

Figure 16 PV installations and retrofit of existing PV installations in Germany Data and image 10

taken from [11] 11

Figure 17 shows the yearly installed PV power (MW) in the EU28 [12] A boom of PV 12

installations can clearly be observed for the years 2010 to 2012 mainly driven by installations 13

in Germany and Italy Likely as a result of changing subsidy policies the yearly installed PV 14

power has since then steadily decreased in both countries On the other hand a steady 15

increase in installations can be observed for the Netherlands and the UK In the forecast model 16

applied in [12] a slight increase in new installations is expected until 2021 driven by 17

installations in the UK and Portugal as well as member countries which so far do not have 18

any considerable PV installations Due to decreasing costs for solar panels and rather stable 19

remuneration rates this upward trend seems to be justified 20

Figure 17 PV installations in EU28 countries and forecast until 2020 Data taken from [12] 2

Based on the data given in [10] for Germany 80 of the installed PV systems can be attributed 3

to small or medium sized installations (average of 10 kWp) directly feeding into the low-voltage 4

grid In terms of power these systems amount to about 30 of the installations If equipped 5

with an energy storage system the average battery capacity amounts to 8 to 10 kWh [13] 6

Concerning installations in Europe it can be argued that there is a trend towards smaller roof-7

top systems for more densely populated and less sunny regions while in particular in the 8

southern European countries larger solar parks are favored Since no comprehensive data 9

covering the whole EU is available only a rough estimation for the demand of battery storage 10

systems and capacity can be made 11

Assuming that the number of smaller roof-top installations (30 of power) as well as the 12

number of systems equipped with an ESS (50 of installations lt 30 kWp) is above average 13

for Germany as compared to the rest of the EU the market data and forecasts given in [12] 14

and [11] would lead to a demand for battery capacity as summarized in Table 5 15

2232 Wind Turbine installations in the EU 5

Similar to section 2231 for PV installations Figure 18 shows data and forecasts for wind 6

turbine power installations in the EU28 [12] In contrast to PV installations wind turbine power 7

is almost exclusively attributed to larger scale wind parks We conclude that the use of small 8

scale ESS for the optimization of private energy consumption is therefore not driven by wind 9

power installations 10

Still the ongoing installation of wind turbine power in the EU28 might become a driver for large 11

scale decentralized energy storage systems however there is no market data available which 12

would allow for a battery demand forecast 13

the 450 MWh installed until 2018 in total 340 MWh were installed in Germany and 80 MWh 8

Note that most of these installations are prototype or test facilities which does not allow to 8

use this application share as template for future market developments The total installed 9

capacity of 340 MWh in 2017 suggests that the market volume of large scale ESS is of the 10

same order of magnitude as that of home storage Note that the installed capacity for 2017 in 11

[14] is only 65 MWh It is however not stated in [12] whether the listed ESS projects are still in 12

2234 Forecast ESS sales and stock EU28 2

The data presented in sections 2231 2232 and 2233 was used as an input for a forecast 3

model on large scale and home ESS 4

EU wide sales numbers and growth rates for PV coupled home storage systems were 5

extrapolated with declining growth rates for 2035 and beyond With respect to large scale ESS 6

it was assumed that the generation of electricity by renewable sources exceeding 17 (2015 7

value [15]) of the total electricity generation necessitates a certain amount of ESS buffer 8

capacity EU 2020 and 2030 targets [16 17] for the share of renewable electricity generation 9

were used as a forecast model The buffer capacity demand was estimated to be 70 of the 10

daily electrical energy generated by renewables exceeding the share of 17 11

A lifetime of 20 years with a replacement rate of 10 was assumed for home ESS and a 12

lifetime of 20 years with a battery replacement rate of 80 within this lifetime was assumed 13

for large scale ESS System capacities were modelled by a power law based on present-day 14

values The assumptions for the market model are summarized in Table 7 and Table 8 and 15

shall be subject to discussion during the stakeholder meeting 16

224 Summary of the market sales forecast and estimation of the future 1

and past stock 2

As shown in sections 222 and 223 several drivers exist for the application of battery storage 3

systems in stationary and motive applications While the demand for battery capacity 4

generated by BEV and PHEV passenger cars was on the level of several GWh for 2017 the 5

ESS markets might still be below the 1 GWh mark in the EU 6

With respect to the increase of average battery capacity installed in different applications (see 7

Figure 22) and the growth rates for the sales of xEV and ESS (see sections 2223 and 8

2232) forecasts for the total new installations (including replacements) of batteries in the 9

EU28 are shown in Figure 23 See annex for further comments 10

11

Figure 22 Average system battery energy (kWh or MWh) forecast 12

23 Market trends 3

231 General objective of subtask 23 and approach 4

The following chapter provides a comprehensive market overview on global battery sales 5

demand and players Starting with the market development of Lithium-ion batteries between 6

2010 to 2017 scenarios until 2025 to 2030 are presented including a meta-analysis of several 7

most recent market reports (eg [18ndash27]) Step by step the regional markets and markets by 8

applications will be specified 9

232 Market drivers and CO2 legislation [28] 10

Climate and energy policies are main drivers for the energy future and are expected to lead to 11

an increasing demand for energy storage in the mid and long term (see Figure 24) According 12

to the European Unionacutes decarbonization objective a reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) 13

emissions to 80 ndash 95 below 1990 levels should be achieved by 2050 14

In particular for the transport sector no full decarbonization is achieved [29] even in the longer 15

term (other sectors have to compensate with higher GHG reductions) The overall reduction 16

achieved in the transport sector by 2050 is only around 60 below 1990 levels The 17

increasing trend in emissions seen over the past 20 years is expected to reverse by the CO2 18

legislation From 2020 on the fleet average to be achieved by all new cars is 95 grams of CO2 19

per kilometer (compared to 130 gkm in 2015) 20

Many other governments world-wide have specified CO2 emission targets and are striving 21

towards a low carbon economy Particularly in the field of passenger and commercial vehicles 22

fuel consumption and emission targets have been installed which significantly drive the 23

introduction of battery or fuel cell powered electric vehicles Among these emission policies 24

the targets set by the EU are among the most ambitious (see Table 11) Meeting them will 25

require a significant share of electric vehicles 26

Table 11 Overview about fuel consumption and CO2-emission targets for passenger vehicles 1

of the EU and other countries leading battery and electric mobility markets [30] 2

In this context electric mobility is gaining importance since electric vehicles especially plug-3

in hybrid and pure battery electric vehicles can help to achieve or fulfill these limits due to 4

improved CO2 footprints compared to conventional cars However for low CO2 footprints over 5

the lifetime of electric cars a high share of ldquolow carbonrdquo renewable energy sources (RES) in 6

the energy mix is needed and important (Figure 24 left side) 7

8

Figure 24 Climate and energy policies as drivers for future energy storage demand [28] 9

The EU Energy Roadmap 2050 [31 32] has shown across six scenarios that the 10

decarbonization goal can be achieved if the share of renewable energy sources (RES) among 11

the power generation capacity is high (gt 60 until 2050) for all scenarios Especially for the 12

high RES scenario the share of fluctuating energy generation (wind photovoltaic ndash PV) is the 13

strongest which has to be balanced Grid expansion andor flexibilization measures (eg 14

demand side management power to gas and vehicle to grid besides stationary battery 15

storage) are potential solutions Thus the high RES scenario is the most interesting scenario 16

with respect to a potential future demand for energy storage solutions (ESS) on local 17

distribution and transmission grid levels (Figure 24 right side) In order to have a significant 18

GHG reduction with EVs it will also be important to achieve the RES targets 19

233 The developing battery market 1

The total annual battery market is currently on the level of 45-60 billion Euro representing 2

approximately 400-500 GWh (including Lead-acid Lithium-Ion and other batteries) [33] 3

Lithium-ion batteries (LIB) have succeeded because of their high gravimetric and volumetric 4

energy densities and have a market share of about a third in terms of value among the whole 5

battery market The growth is driven by the decreasing cell costs of less than 170 eurokWh for a 6

standard cylindrical cell (lowest prices) approaching the 90 eurokWh mark in the next years This 7

cost degression is due to increasing capacity demand and production and thus due to scale 8

effects 9

Although the LIB market is drastically growing with annual growth rates of up to 30 percent 10

on average (in terms of battery capacity demand) the dominating battery technology in terms 11

of capacity however are still lead-acid batteries representing about 90 percent of the global 12

demand in volume around 2010 and 80 percent in 2017 13

14

15

Figure 25 Historical development of the global battery demand in GWh (left axis for NiCd 16

NiMH right axis for all other battery types grey total battery demand) [34] 17

Other mature battery technologies like NiCd (still partly used in power tools) and NiMH (still 18

used in hybrid electric vehicles HEV) are slowly declining and are expected to disappear from 19

the market in the next decade The diversification of future battery applications however will 20

also broaden the range of battery technologies Emerging technologies like Na-based Metal-21

Sulfur or Redox Flow batteries are developing and may lead to attractive solutions eg with 22

respect to cost and resource availability advantages However due to very strict requirements 23

on volumetric energy densities these technologies are expected to be relevant for stationary 24

or other special markets and less for the most significant electric vehicle market In general 25

each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses and none of them can satisfy all user 26

demands Hence a broader application-specific technology portfolio is urgently needed in 27

order to provide alternative technology solutions in the future 28

The extremely dynamic development of the global LIB demand will lead to the TWh level latest 29

around 2030 and grow further after 2030 Thus LIB will very soon transform into the 30

dominating energy storage technology 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

34

Figure 26 shows three different scenarios for the global demand for LIB between 2010 and 1

2030 (green curves) along with global production capacities (orange and blue curve)[33] 2

While at the beginning of the decade the demand and sales numbers followed the medium 3

growth rate trend scenario the market has been approaching the high growth rate scenario in 4

the last years This is mainly due to the strong engagement of politics and respective 5

regulation and subsidy programs for electric mobility As can be seen from the graph the 6

share of demand generated by motive applications is expected to significantly grow in the next 7

years and might account for more than one third of the total LIB demand by 2025 8

To face this increasing demand for LIB cells accordingly production capacities need to be 9

build up in the near future Based on the currently existing cell production capacities and the 10

global announcements from established and new cell producers until 2025 the LIB cell 11

production capacities (blue line in 12

Figure 26) have been identified Compared to 15 GWh added production capacity between 13

2013 and 2016 in the next years around 50 GWh will be added annually leading to around 14

700 GWh production capacities until 2025 (in the optimistic case see blue line in 15

Figure 26) The announcements include established players such as Panasonic (JP) LG 16

Chem (KR) Samsung (KR) SKI (KR) BYD (CN) Lishen (CN) CATL (CN) CALB (CN) 17

OPTIMUM (CN) and several further Chinese cell producers Also new players such as TerraE 18

(DE) Northvolt (SW) Boston Energy (US AU) Energy Absolute (Thailand) are included 19

while accounting for the different stages of expansion [20 27] 20

21

234 Battery markets by application 23

Diversification of applications for batteries 24

The above described global developments of battery demand and production strongly concern 25

high-energy lithium-ion batteries with the cell chemistries NMC NCA (Ni-rich and Co-reduced 26

cathodes) and SiC (high capacity SiC anodes with 5-10 or higher Si content) and cell 27

formats cylindrical (eg larger 21700 compared to standard 18650) large pouch or prismatic 28

cells The target is to develop and produce cells with improved gravimetric and volumetric 29

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

35

energy densities and reduced costs in order to meet the requirements of the automotive 1

industry Electric passenger cars are driving the demand and thus development of the battery 2

technology and these optimized and cost reduced batteries define the benchmark today and 3

in the future 4

LIB demand by applications 5

In Figure 27 the global LIB demand is broken down to the three main sectors for battery 6

demand which can be characterised each having different profiles of requirement 7

bull electric mobility or electric vehicles (EV including eg passenger cars light 8

commercial vehicles buses trucks scooters ebikes etc) 9

bull stationary energy storage systems (ESS) and 10

bull portable devices (3C ndash Computer Communication Consumer) 11

The LIB cell demand developed to almost 25 GWh in 2010 since the market introduction in 12

the early 1990s and dominantly resulted from portable devices In 2015 the cell demand of 13

about 70 GWh was distributed already almost 5050 between 3C and EV applications 14

15

Figure 27 Global LIB demand (in GWh and share in ) by segment [34] 16

Since 2015 the global LIB demand has increased with compound annual growth rates 17

(CAGR) of ~25 from about 70 GWh to about 110 GWh in 2017 The market for electric 18

vehicles currently grows with 30-40 (and more depending on the application and region) and 19

a diversification in applications (eg buses trucks other light to heavy commercial vehicles 20

marine applications drones etc) can be observed 21

With the diversification of future markets and applications cost sensitive markets will arise for 22

which optimized high-energy and cost reduced automotive cells of certain cell formats will be 23

used However also applications with stronger requirements on long lifetime high cycleability 24

fast charging capability safety etc will emerge and diffuse where cost is not the most 25

relevant factor and other battery technologies (ie cell chemistries formats) can provide a 26

unique selling proposition and hence lead to a product differentiation 27

2341 LIB markets for 3C applications 28

Portable devices (3C) have been the main applications for LIB cells in the past Power tools 29

medical devices and wearables are expected to be products with an emerging future market 30

for small LIB cells but with enormous quantities The price per kWh that can be stored plays a 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

36

less important role for these applications As far as charging is concerned technologies such 1

as energy harvesting and wireless charging are expected to be introduced in the future For 2

many markets and products such as household devices garden cleaning power tools other 3

mobile leisure applications etc today mostly cylindrical LIB cells of the format 18650 are used 4

With the introduction of 21700 cells also larger cylindrical cells become available now and are 5

expected to be used in diffuse in such applications Although different specific cell chemistries 6

might be suitable depending on the concrete application again it can be stated that the 3C 7

segment is expected to lead to a comparably small battery capacity demand compared to the 8

EV segment and will not be the limiting segment with respect to the risk of resource 9

dependencies 10

In the next few years growth rates of about 5 to 10 percent are expected for the 3C markets 11

while laptop battery demand is developing at lower growth rates and power tools medical 12

devices etc are supporting the growth rates for the battery demand 13

14

15

Figure 28 Demand and growth of the 3C LIB market [34] 16

2342 LIB markets for stationary (ESS) applications 17

Stationary energy storage systems (ESS) can be divided into different size classes with regard 18

to the capacity and charging times Both together decide on the application area (eg small 19

PV storage at home peak load to long-term storage) [35] Beyond that the price per kWh put 20

through over the lifetime is the economic key factor (as synthesized by the LCOE levelized 21

cost of energy) In contrast gravimetric and volumetric energy density plays a subordinate 22

role Due to that lead-acid batteries were often used as storage technology for off- and on-23

grid storage Currently LIBs are being established for commercial use and meanwhile reach 24

an annual demand of some few GWh Other electrochemical storage technologies such as 25

sodium-sulfur batteries are still used but the demand for LIB is strongly increasing for ESS It 26

is expected that 2nd life concepts for batteries that had their first life in electric vehicles will 27

gain importance together with market diffusion in the EV segment as the requirements on the 28

batteries are less demanding in the ESS segment This however will require the development 29

of according business models standardization etc The much broader available technology 30

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

37

portfolio for ESS applications the use of 2nd life batteries and the fact that electric vehicle 1

batteries that are connected to the grid on a large scale with higher market diffusion can be 2

regarded as stationary storage systems as well (vehicle to grid V2G grid to vehicle G2V) help 3

to reduce the risk of technological and resource dependencies in the future 4

The market for stationary storage applications (ESS) is experiencing growth rates of 20 to 30 5

percent depending on individual market forecasts (in the last years CAGR have even been on 6

the level of 60 but decrease with increasing size of the market see Figure 29) 7

The market is currently on a level of few GWh including applications from smaller PV storage 8

systems of 5-10 kWh to larger industrial and grid connected installations for own power 9

consumption peak shaving etc on the MWh level Regarding these growth rates LIB for ESS 10

applications rapidly gain importance as de-central storage solutions compared to the currently 11

dominating central pumped hydro storage (PHS) Forecasts to 2025 differ by size and expect 12

an ESS LIB demand between 20-50 GWh (partially higher eg in [23]) but all forecasts identify 13

high growth rates 14

2343 LIB markets for electric vehicle applications 18

One of the biggest challenges for batteries for electric vehicles (EV including electric cars 19

buses trucks etc) apart from their price is the increase of their volumetric and gravimetric 20

energy density The volumetric energy density is even more important for OEM due to 21

restricted and fixed space and location of the battery in an electric vehicle A very relevant 22

parameter of a battery is its charging and discharging power in particular in continuous 23

operation It determines the fast-charging capability which is an important argument in the 24

use and the establishment on the market At the same time this sets limits to the high-25

performance operation since energy consumption is reduced to protect the battery from 26

damage This illustrates the conflicting effect of different parameters on the battery lifetime 27

Price volume weight and thus charge density as well as chargedischarge rate in terms of 28

usage and durability are the most urgent challenges for battery manufacturers 29

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

38

The market for EV batteries is currently at the level of about 50 GWh (including electric 1

passenger cars busses trucks ebikes scooter forklifts etc) Growth rates are at 20 to 40 2

percent and the demand for EV batteries will lead to a share of about 66 percent in 2020 76 3

percent until 2025 and 80 percent or higher in the long term Electric passenger cars (BEV 4

and PHEV) define the by far largest market within the EV segment and are clearly driving the 5

technology development of high energy Lithium-Ion or Lithium-based batteries in the future 6

9

Other motive (or stationary or portable) markets applications besides the highly competitive 10

electric passenger cars therefore can offer interesting growth markets also for smaller cell 11

producers beyond the large Japanese Korean and Chinese cell producers These markets or 12

applications very often define concrete requirements for the battery performance they require 13

an in depth understanding and design from the cell chemistry format to the modulepack and 14

system integration and they still vary strongly by region and are connected to individual system 15

integrators or OEM This is because each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses 16

and none of them can satisfy all userapplication demands Hence a broader application 17

specific technology portfolio is even urgently needed in order to provide alternative individual 18

technology solutions for these emerging marketsapplications 19

20

235 Market channels and production structure 21

2351 Global production capacities and major players 22

Since their commercialization in the 1990s LIB have been predominantly produced by 23

Japanese and Korean companies Driven by the Chinese government particularly cell 24

producers but also companies covering other steps of the LIB value creation chain have been 25

established in China Due to a policy of simultaneous support for LIB production as well as for 26

application markets and due to an extensive subsidy scheme a large share of LIB production 27

capacities is located in China today 28

Figure 31 Figure 32 Figure 33 and Figure 34 show the global LIB production capacities of 29

major cell producers in 2018 as well as forecasts for 2020 2025 and 2030 respectively [36] 30

The data is based on announcements made by the cell producers As discussed in section 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

39

233 the actual time-frame for the implementation of the capacity expansions is often delayed 1

with respect to the original announcements Hence minimum and maximum values for the 2

production capacities are given 3

Figure 34 Global LIB production capacities of major cell producers in 2030 [36] 2

Until 2030 the announced production capacities add up to more than 1 TWh In total there 3

are about 30 cell producers which have announced to build up production capacities of more 4

than 10 GWhyear which can be considered to be a threshold in order to be able to produce 5

at competitve costs [36] If the announced capacities are fully utilized the ldquobig 4rdquo (Panasonic 6

CATL LGC and BYD) will be able to fully cover the market demand (gt550 GWh) until 2025 7

2352 Europes position in the global battery value chain 8

In the EU several actors are positioned which cover production steps along the whole value 9

chain of LIBs starting from raw material production to production of cells and systems and 10

finally recycling However with respect to global markets only few organizations within the EU 11

have a market share of more than 1 in their specific segment eg BASF Germany in the 12

field of electrolyte production [30] 13

An overview about existing and active companies is given by the European Battery Alliance 14

(see Figure 35) Due to the presence of strong automotive OEM LIB pack manufacturing and 15

system integration is taking place on large scale in Europe A particular gap in the value chain 16

is present due to the lack of a large-scale cell production capable of serving the volumes and 17

prices required by the automotive industry 18

Several consortia are currently attempting to build up a European large scale cell 4

manufacturing such as Nothvolt (Sweden) with 32 GWh until 2023 or Saft (together with 5

Siemens and Manz) [39] Recently the German government announced plans for funding of 6

a Batterie-Cell-Alliance between Germany and Poland with cell production capacities in the 7

Regions Lausitz (Germany) and Westpoland [40 41] At the cross section between RampD and 8

large-scale production also a Research Production with 600 Mio EUR funding is foreseen 9

whereas the Fraunhofer Society should coordinate and run such a research production [42] 10

The announced funding from the German government sums up to 2 bn EUR 11

Given all these announced investments and production capacities to build up in the next years 12

the cell production capacities of European cell manufacturers could sum up to over 40 GWh 13

beyond 2025 In contrast main Asian cell manufacturer have already started with cell 14

production (eg LG SDI) or plan to build up production capacities until 2020 to 2025 In 15

concrete there are plans from [43ndash51] 16

17

bull CATL (China) to build 14 GWh in Germany Erfurt beyond 2020 18

bull LG Chem (Japan) to build 15 to 24 GWh (for 03 Mio EVs) in Poland beyond 2020 19

bull Samsung SDI (Japan) to build 10 to 15 GWh beyond 2020 in Hungary (including a 20

recent 5 GWh announcement for 21700 cells for Land Rover 21

bull SK Innovation (Japan) to build 75 GWh in Hungary beyond 2020 22

bull PanasonicTesla to build a (assumed 35GWh) Gigafactory in Europa around 2025 23

bull as well as from BYD (China) GS Yuasa (Japan) and Farasis (US) to build production 24

capacities between 2020 and 2025 25

26

The production capacities from Asian (or non-European) cell manufacturer might sum up to 27

well above 82-96 GWh by 2025 and including BYD GS Yuasa Farasis etc capacities far 28

above 100 GWh can be expected Together with the new EU cell producers this could easily 29

sum up towards the above mentioned 200 GWh demand in Europe But it also clearly indicates 30

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

44

the competition the emerging European players have to face (besides the fact that the plans 1

of the Asian companies are expected to be realized already several years earlier as those of 2

the novel EU companies) 3

2353 Product design trends and technological roadmap 4

Concerning the battery technology or type (by chemistry format etc) which will most likely 5

be produced to address this increasing demand the global roadmaps of cell producers are 6

basically similar Based on state-of-the art cell design (eg LFP NCA based ldquogeneration 1rdquo 7

and NMC111 to NMC532 ldquogeneration 2abrdquo Li-ion batteries) [52] and state-of-the-art 8

production equipment incremental improvements are expected in the next few years but with 9

the target to get to higher-energy lithium-ion batteries Concerning the electrolytes still liquid 10

electrolytes will be used but adopted to the changing electrode materials (eg with additives) 11

Current trends for layered oxide cathodes describe the development of Ni-rich (Co reduced) 12

materials (NMC) A few cell producers are already using NMC811 or comparable cathode 13

materials others are still adopting NMC622 (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3ardquo) On cathode 14

side maybe even lower-cost Mn-rich High Energy NMCs (HE-NMC) might be realized and 15

produced within ~10 years as Mn is cheaper than Ni (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3brdquo) On 16

anode side the trend is to incorporate Si-nano particles to make use of the alloying reaction 17

between Si and Li yielding a high capacitance This however comes at the cost of cycle life 18

Further down the road we might see higher Si contents (~20) 19

20

All-solid-state batteries are on the roadmap of many battery producers but also OEM (also 21

referred to as ldquogeneration 4rdquo) The key performance parameters (KPI) are suitable for electric 22

mobility (EV) Main challenges are indeed manufacturability particularly for ceramic solid state 23

electrolytes which promise to yield the highest advantages over state of the art technologies 24

The market introduction in niche applications is expected possible prior to the use in 25

automotive applications First all-solid-state batteries might not be competitive in terms of 26

energy density but safety properties Later on energy densities of 350-400 Whkg and higher 27

are expected 28

Other technologies (not marked in blue in the above figure) feature certain USPs compared to 4

Li-ion batteries but (according to the current level of knowledge) do not reach the necessary 5

KPIs in terms of energy density power density and cycling stability necessary for electric 6

mobility (these are marked in grey) USPs of these technologies can be cost resource 7

availability either volumetric or gravimetric energy density or others But often even 8

fundamental challenges are not solved yet (eg concerning the stability of materials and 9

electrochemical systems kinetics etc) 10

24 Consumer expenditure base data 2

241 General objective of subtask 24 and approach 3

Subtask 24 gives an overview about average production costs and consumer prices incl 4

VAT (for consumer prices streetprice) excl VAT (for B2B products) as well as an estimation 5

of repair and maintenance as well as installation and disposal costs 6

Due to their recent larger scale market introduction there is still little experience with 7

maintenance as well as disposal expenses Hence only estimations can be made based on 8

isolated sources 9

242 Development of LIB cell costs 10

As the core of LIB based energy storage systems the battery cell exhibits the highest cost 11

share During the last years particularly standardized 18650 format LIB cells have 12

experienced a steep cost learning curve benefiting from production scale effects but also 13

from technological advancements on material level increasing the energy density per volume 14

and weight and decreasing the amount of cost intense Cobalt-based components Compared 15

to this benchmark larger format LIB cells (Pouch prismatic) as are utilized in xEVs and ESS 16

predominantly feature lower energy densities at higher cost per kWh There are however no 17

principal limitations which would prevent a performance and cost development similar to what 18

was observed for cylindrical cells Figure 39 shows the cost learning curves for cylindrical as 19

well as larger format LIB cells [33] Today average costs for cells suitable for automotive use 20

are below 150 eurokWh (cylindrical) and around 200 eurokWh (Pouchprismatic) In specific cases 21

prices around 100 eurokWh have been reported already [53] It should however be noted that 22

with the current market situation LIB prices being below costs are not unlikely to occur 23

Until 2025 production costs of the different cell formats are expected to approach and fall 24

below the mark of 100 eurokWh between 2020 and 2025 Taking further developments on 25

material level into account costs around 60-100 eurokWh seam feasible past 2025 26

Figure 39 Cost learning curves for large LIB cells (cylindrical and Pouchprismatic) [33] 3

Similar cost learning curves have been observed for other battery technologies (see Figure 4

40) In principal cost degression can be limited by demand (compare NiCd) or by reaching 5

material cost limits (compare Pb) Also the diffusion of battery technologies in new markets 6

or applications can lead to further technological improvements and justify higher production 7

costs (compare deviation of NiMH Pb) Following the available data for LIB cells approx 100 8

$kWh (~89 eurokWh) are reached at a cumulative yearly production of 1TWh This mark is 9

expected to be reached between 2020 and 2030 10

Beyond 2030 LIB production costs are however expected to start deviating from this curve 11

due to limiting raw material prices 12

2432 ESS 7

According to recent end-customer price data provided in [55] for 2018 typical consumer prices 8

for small scale (~10 kWh) stationary home storage systems are between 5000 and 15000 9

Euros leading to a relative price of 800 to 1200 eurokWh It is expected that these system prices 10

will benefit from the growing battery markets (also xEV) since similar LIB cell types can be 11

applied in both application areas With respect to inverters and other system related costs the 12

smaller market volume of home ESS indicates lower economy of scale effects as compared 13

to cells 14

244 Installation repair and maintenance costs 15

2441 xEV 16

So far no comprehensive information on repair and maintenance costs for the battery system 17

of xEVs are available Due to still rather accommodating service policies repair or 18

2451 Second life and recycling considerations 6

Until today only pilot projects Strategy of automotive OEM regarding second life applications 7

is not known 8

Value of recycled materials can be estimated 9

Three main scenarios possible after end of 1st life (xEV) 10

1 Disposal of batteries (eg separation of liquid and solid components hazardous waste 11

disposal) 12

2 Recycling of batteries and direct regeneration and re-use of cathode materials (2a) or 13

recovery of metals (2b) 14

3 2nd life in ESS applications under limited load (low DOD cycling low power) 15

16

Scenario 1 will add another component to battery costs scenario 2 and 3 could significantly 17

decrease the cost of batteries if energy efficient recycling methods can be developed or viable 18

2nd life business models are established 19

26 Annex 1

2611 Modelling of addressable markets for electric applications 2

Vehicle markets (in units of registrations in the EU28 per year) and ESS markets (in units of 3

number of installed home PV systems or in units of overall renewable (PV wind) electricity 4

generation in the EU28 per year) were modelled by exponential functions 5

119872119905119886119901119901(119905) = 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 6

With Mtapp(t) being the total market volume of an application M0 the market size in 2015 and 7

120591 times 119871119899(2) the time t necessary to double the initial market volume M0 M0 and Tau were chosen 8

to fit existing market data 9

119872119886119901119901(119905) = 119888 times 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 10

With Mapp(t) being the addressable market and c a factor equal or smaller than 1 Parameter 11

c lt 1 was chosen to take into account that not the whole existing market Mtapp might be 12

addressable by electric technologies Eg a share of vehicles primarily used for long distance 13

travel might not be addressable by BEV but by PHEV only 14

The market addressable for passenger PHEV (as a transition technology on the path to full 15

electric vehicles) was modelled as the difference of total vehicle sales and BEV sales 16

119872119875119867119864119881(119905) = 119888 times 119872119905119901119886119904119904119890119899119892119890119903(119905) minus 119878119861119864119881(119905) 17

The market addressable for passenger BEV was modelled like Mapp(t) with c lt 1 18

2612 Modelling of sales numbers of xEV and ESS 19

Yearly sales numbers Sapp(t) for the different applications were modelled by logistic growth 20

functions Logistic functions can model diffusion of technologies into existing markets with a 21

given market volume M The market volume can be a moving target M = M(t) The relative 22

change of sales numbers Srsquoapp(t)Sapp(t) is proportional to the market volume not yet 23

developed by a technology Mapp(t) ndash Sapp(t) 24

119878119886119901119901(119905) = 119872119886119901119901(119905) times1

1 + 119864119909119901(minus119872119886119901119901(119905) times (119905 minus 1199050)120591)(119872119886119901119901(119905)

119878119886119901119901(1199050)minus 1)

25

With Tau being a time constant and Sapp(t0) being the yearly sales number at year t0 (eg 26

2015) 27

Short time constants Tau of few years were used to model ESS sales Due to limitations of 28

the existing electricity grid to only buffer a certain share of fluctuating PV and wind generated 29

electricity the further expansion of renewable electricity generation might be strongly coupled 30

to ESS installations Hence ESS sales were modelled to closely follow the assumed 31

installations of renewable power in the limit of ldquovery fastrdquo market diffusion (120591 rarr 0) 32

2613 Modelling of battery system capacities 33

Battery capacities EBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws In 34

particular BEV battery capacities increased in the last years from 30 kWh in 2013 to more than 35

40 kWh in 2018 (EU sales and production averages) In the long term we expect BEV 36

capacities to converge towards a value sufficient to provide average driving ranges of some 37

100 km Battery capacity growth rates are hence supposed to slow down 38

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

119864119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198640 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 1

With E0 being the average battery capacity in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years and 2

b an exponent lt 1 The parameters were chosen to fit existing data 3

2614 Modelling of battery replacement rates 4

Battery replacement rates RrBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws 5

The replacement rate defines the share of batteries installed in year t that had to be replaced 6

within the lifetime of a system (xEV ESS) In particular for vehicles it is assumed that xEV 7

manufacturers currently install battery cells with a high lifetime and cyclability (several 8

thousand cycles) In the mid-term we expect that battery life and vehicle life (eg 200000 to 9

300000 km) will be matched by car manufacturers Assuming a constant vehicle lifetime 10

battery replacement rates are supposed to increase over time 11

119877119903119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198770 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 12

With R0 being the average replacement rate in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years 13

and b an exponent lt 1 At present there is no data available to fit the parameters Parameters 14

were estimated based on the usage profile and load of different applications 15

2615 Modelling of system lifetimes (xEV ESS) 16

System lifetimes Ltsystem(t) were assumed to be constant Ltsystem(t)= Ltsystem Parameters were 17

estimated based on manufacturer statements and typical lifetimes for combustion powered 18

vehicles 19

2616 Calculation of battery replacements 20

Battery replacements RpBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 21

calculated by assuming a uniform distribution of battery replacements over the lifetime 22

Ltsystem(i) of battery systems installed in year i 23

2617 Calculation of battery decommissions 25

Battery decommissions DcBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 26

assumed to happen coincident with the end of life of the systems (Ltsystem) they were installed 27

in in year i This neglects any second life usage in t gt i It was assumed that xEV or ESS 28

manufacturers will tune the battery lifetime to match the system lifetime (see 2614) 29

2618 Calculation of yearly installed battery capacity 31

The yearly installed battery capacity Sbapp(t) in the EU28 was calculated as 32

119878119887119886119901119901(119905) = 119878119886119901119901(119905) times 119864119886119901119901119861119886119905119905(119905) + 119877119901119886119901119901

In contrast to the production data the sales numbers for BEV reflect the amount of installed 1

vehicle batteries in the individual EU28 countries It can be seen in Figure 9 that the proportion 2

among the EU28 countries in terms of sold vehicles is much more even as compared to the 3

production Germany France the United Kingdom and the Netherlands lead the market 4

however significant sales numbers can also be found in other countries The level and growth 5

rates of BEV sales is comparable to BEV production It should however be noted that there is 6

significant trade with other regions of the world eg BEV imports from KR (Hyundai) and JP 7

(Mitsubishi Nissan) and exports to North America (BMW Volkswagen) Hence the BEV 8

market can not be considered to be an internal market 9

10

Figure 9 Number of sold BEVs in EU28 member states and forecast until 2020 [3] 11

2222 Production and sales of PHEV 12

Similar to section 2221 production and sales numbers for PHEV resolved by country are 13

shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11 Although on a comparable level in terms of produced and 14

sold vehicles it must be emphasized that the contribution of PHEVs to the demand for battery 15

capacity is due to the smaller size of the battery much less than the demand generated by 16

BEVs At present the main production sites for PHEVs are located in Germany Due to 17

production sites for Audi (VW) and Volvo PHEVs Sweden and Slovakia also significantly 18

contribute to the production 19

section 26) 12

It was assumed that extrapolated EU wide sales numbers and growth rates for passenger as 13

well as light vehicles [9] represent natural boundaries for the growth of xEV markets Logistic 14

assumed to be an initially faster growing transition technology which will partially be replaced 1

by BEV in the long term A passenger xEV lifetime of 12 years with battery replacement rates 2

of 15 per lifetime were assumed For commercial vehicles a lifetime of 9 years and 3

replacement rate of 25 and a lifetime of 12 years and battery replacement rate of 80 were 4

assumed for light and heavy vehicles respectively The assumption for the market model is 5

223 Market stock and forecast for ESS in Europe 3

As discussed in Task 1 several stationary applications for batteries exist ranging from grid 4

support to home storage As will be shown in section 23 the demand for battery capacity 5

generated by ESS applications at present is rather small as compared to 3C and motive 6

markets There is no systematic registration of large scale or small scale stationary storage 7

systems in the EU Hence the market stock and volume for respective applications can only 8

be estimated based on indirect data 9

2231 Photovoltaic installations in the EU 10

Energy storage systems in combination with photovoltaic installations are one major 11

application for batteries both for private as well as commercial purposes Due to changes in 12

reimbursement and subsidy policy as well as the physical capability of the energy system to 13

buffer and process high shares of renewable energy the use of local energy storage systems 14

is becoming more and more popular There is no data on the share of PV installations 15

equipped with an energy storage system for the EU However on regional level some data is 16

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

20

available According to [10] approximately half of the PV systems with a peak power below 1

30 kW installed in Germany in 2017 have been equipped with an energy storage option 2

(amounting to about 30000 storage systems with a cumulative capacity of 400 MWh) 3

At present the installation of storage systems is strongly coupled to new installations of PV 4

systems As shown in Figure 16 with data on Germany the retrofit of existing PV installations 5

with storage systems is however expected to contribute significantly to the demand for battery 6

capacity in the PV segment in the future Within the forecast shown 50 of the sold storage 7

systems might be integrated into already existing PV-systems in 2030 8

9

Figure 16 PV installations and retrofit of existing PV installations in Germany Data and image 10

taken from [11] 11

Figure 17 shows the yearly installed PV power (MW) in the EU28 [12] A boom of PV 12

installations can clearly be observed for the years 2010 to 2012 mainly driven by installations 13

in Germany and Italy Likely as a result of changing subsidy policies the yearly installed PV 14

power has since then steadily decreased in both countries On the other hand a steady 15

increase in installations can be observed for the Netherlands and the UK In the forecast model 16

applied in [12] a slight increase in new installations is expected until 2021 driven by 17

installations in the UK and Portugal as well as member countries which so far do not have 18

any considerable PV installations Due to decreasing costs for solar panels and rather stable 19

remuneration rates this upward trend seems to be justified 20

Figure 17 PV installations in EU28 countries and forecast until 2020 Data taken from [12] 2

Based on the data given in [10] for Germany 80 of the installed PV systems can be attributed 3

to small or medium sized installations (average of 10 kWp) directly feeding into the low-voltage 4

grid In terms of power these systems amount to about 30 of the installations If equipped 5

with an energy storage system the average battery capacity amounts to 8 to 10 kWh [13] 6

Concerning installations in Europe it can be argued that there is a trend towards smaller roof-7

top systems for more densely populated and less sunny regions while in particular in the 8

southern European countries larger solar parks are favored Since no comprehensive data 9

covering the whole EU is available only a rough estimation for the demand of battery storage 10

systems and capacity can be made 11

Assuming that the number of smaller roof-top installations (30 of power) as well as the 12

number of systems equipped with an ESS (50 of installations lt 30 kWp) is above average 13

for Germany as compared to the rest of the EU the market data and forecasts given in [12] 14

and [11] would lead to a demand for battery capacity as summarized in Table 5 15

2232 Wind Turbine installations in the EU 5

Similar to section 2231 for PV installations Figure 18 shows data and forecasts for wind 6

turbine power installations in the EU28 [12] In contrast to PV installations wind turbine power 7

is almost exclusively attributed to larger scale wind parks We conclude that the use of small 8

scale ESS for the optimization of private energy consumption is therefore not driven by wind 9

power installations 10

Still the ongoing installation of wind turbine power in the EU28 might become a driver for large 11

scale decentralized energy storage systems however there is no market data available which 12

would allow for a battery demand forecast 13

2233 Large battery ESS projects 5

The DOE Global Energy Storage Database [14] lists several larger scale ESS projects around 6

the world Figure 19 shows the cumulated storage capacity (installed stock) for the EU28 Of 7

the 450 MWh installed until 2018 in total 340 MWh were installed in Germany and 80 MWh 8

in the UK Since this is not an exhaustive list it can be considered as lower boundary for the 9

installed stock 10

Figure 19 Installed ESS capacity (stock) in large scale projects in EU28 A ratio of 11 with 2

respect to installed power and installed energy content (capacity) was assumed [14] 3

Table 6 lists larger scale (~MWh) stationary storage systems installed in the EU in 2017 [12] 4

80 of these installations are categorized as substation storage 6 relates to frequency 5

stabilization 5 to storage of wind-generated energy and 1 to storage of PV-generated 6

energy 7

Note that most of these installations are prototype or test facilities which does not allow to 8

use this application share as template for future market developments The total installed 9

capacity of 340 MWh in 2017 suggests that the market volume of large scale ESS is of the 10

same order of magnitude as that of home storage Note that the installed capacity for 2017 in 11

[14] is only 65 MWh It is however not stated in [12] whether the listed ESS projects are still in 12

construction or already operational 13

2234 Forecast ESS sales and stock EU28 2

The data presented in sections 2231 2232 and 2233 was used as an input for a forecast 3

model on large scale and home ESS 4

EU wide sales numbers and growth rates for PV coupled home storage systems were 5

extrapolated with declining growth rates for 2035 and beyond With respect to large scale ESS 6

it was assumed that the generation of electricity by renewable sources exceeding 17 (2015 7

value [15]) of the total electricity generation necessitates a certain amount of ESS buffer 8

capacity EU 2020 and 2030 targets [16 17] for the share of renewable electricity generation 9

were used as a forecast model The buffer capacity demand was estimated to be 70 of the 10

daily electrical energy generated by renewables exceeding the share of 17 11

A lifetime of 20 years with a replacement rate of 10 was assumed for home ESS and a 12

lifetime of 20 years with a battery replacement rate of 80 within this lifetime was assumed 13

for large scale ESS System capacities were modelled by a power law based on present-day 14

values The assumptions for the market model are summarized in Table 7 and Table 8 and 15

shall be subject to discussion during the stakeholder meeting 16

224 Summary of the market sales forecast and estimation of the future 1

and past stock 2

As shown in sections 222 and 223 several drivers exist for the application of battery storage 3

systems in stationary and motive applications While the demand for battery capacity 4

generated by BEV and PHEV passenger cars was on the level of several GWh for 2017 the 5

ESS markets might still be below the 1 GWh mark in the EU 6

With respect to the increase of average battery capacity installed in different applications (see 7

Figure 22) and the growth rates for the sales of xEV and ESS (see sections 2223 and 8

2232) forecasts for the total new installations (including replacements) of batteries in the 9

EU28 are shown in Figure 23 See annex for further comments 10

11

Figure 22 Average system battery energy (kWh or MWh) forecast 12

It can be expected that the demand generated by sales and replacements in the EU28 will 13

amount to about 20 GWh by 2020 100 GWh by 2025 and more than 400 GWh by 2030 14

23 Market trends 3

231 General objective of subtask 23 and approach 4

The following chapter provides a comprehensive market overview on global battery sales 5

demand and players Starting with the market development of Lithium-ion batteries between 6

2010 to 2017 scenarios until 2025 to 2030 are presented including a meta-analysis of several 7

most recent market reports (eg [18ndash27]) Step by step the regional markets and markets by 8

applications will be specified 9

232 Market drivers and CO2 legislation [28] 10

Climate and energy policies are main drivers for the energy future and are expected to lead to 11

an increasing demand for energy storage in the mid and long term (see Figure 24) According 12

to the European Unionacutes decarbonization objective a reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) 13

emissions to 80 ndash 95 below 1990 levels should be achieved by 2050 14

In particular for the transport sector no full decarbonization is achieved [29] even in the longer 15

term (other sectors have to compensate with higher GHG reductions) The overall reduction 16

achieved in the transport sector by 2050 is only around 60 below 1990 levels The 17

increasing trend in emissions seen over the past 20 years is expected to reverse by the CO2 18

legislation From 2020 on the fleet average to be achieved by all new cars is 95 grams of CO2 19

per kilometer (compared to 130 gkm in 2015) 20

Many other governments world-wide have specified CO2 emission targets and are striving 21

towards a low carbon economy Particularly in the field of passenger and commercial vehicles 22

fuel consumption and emission targets have been installed which significantly drive the 23

introduction of battery or fuel cell powered electric vehicles Among these emission policies 24

the targets set by the EU are among the most ambitious (see Table 11) Meeting them will 25

require a significant share of electric vehicles 26

Table 11 Overview about fuel consumption and CO2-emission targets for passenger vehicles 1

of the EU and other countries leading battery and electric mobility markets [30] 2

In this context electric mobility is gaining importance since electric vehicles especially plug-3

in hybrid and pure battery electric vehicles can help to achieve or fulfill these limits due to 4

improved CO2 footprints compared to conventional cars However for low CO2 footprints over 5

the lifetime of electric cars a high share of ldquolow carbonrdquo renewable energy sources (RES) in 6

the energy mix is needed and important (Figure 24 left side) 7

8

Figure 24 Climate and energy policies as drivers for future energy storage demand [28] 9

The EU Energy Roadmap 2050 [31 32] has shown across six scenarios that the 10

decarbonization goal can be achieved if the share of renewable energy sources (RES) among 11

the power generation capacity is high (gt 60 until 2050) for all scenarios Especially for the 12

high RES scenario the share of fluctuating energy generation (wind photovoltaic ndash PV) is the 13

strongest which has to be balanced Grid expansion andor flexibilization measures (eg 14

demand side management power to gas and vehicle to grid besides stationary battery 15

storage) are potential solutions Thus the high RES scenario is the most interesting scenario 16

with respect to a potential future demand for energy storage solutions (ESS) on local 17

distribution and transmission grid levels (Figure 24 right side) In order to have a significant 18

GHG reduction with EVs it will also be important to achieve the RES targets 19

233 The developing battery market 1

The total annual battery market is currently on the level of 45-60 billion Euro representing 2

approximately 400-500 GWh (including Lead-acid Lithium-Ion and other batteries) [33] 3

Lithium-ion batteries (LIB) have succeeded because of their high gravimetric and volumetric 4

energy densities and have a market share of about a third in terms of value among the whole 5

battery market The growth is driven by the decreasing cell costs of less than 170 eurokWh for a 6

standard cylindrical cell (lowest prices) approaching the 90 eurokWh mark in the next years This 7

cost degression is due to increasing capacity demand and production and thus due to scale 8

effects 9

Although the LIB market is drastically growing with annual growth rates of up to 30 percent 10

on average (in terms of battery capacity demand) the dominating battery technology in terms 11

of capacity however are still lead-acid batteries representing about 90 percent of the global 12

demand in volume around 2010 and 80 percent in 2017 13

14

15

Figure 25 Historical development of the global battery demand in GWh (left axis for NiCd 16

NiMH right axis for all other battery types grey total battery demand) [34] 17

Other mature battery technologies like NiCd (still partly used in power tools) and NiMH (still 18

used in hybrid electric vehicles HEV) are slowly declining and are expected to disappear from 19

the market in the next decade The diversification of future battery applications however will 20

also broaden the range of battery technologies Emerging technologies like Na-based Metal-21

Sulfur or Redox Flow batteries are developing and may lead to attractive solutions eg with 22

respect to cost and resource availability advantages However due to very strict requirements 23

on volumetric energy densities these technologies are expected to be relevant for stationary 24

or other special markets and less for the most significant electric vehicle market In general 25

each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses and none of them can satisfy all user 26

demands Hence a broader application-specific technology portfolio is urgently needed in 27

order to provide alternative technology solutions in the future 28

The extremely dynamic development of the global LIB demand will lead to the TWh level latest 29

around 2030 and grow further after 2030 Thus LIB will very soon transform into the 30

dominating energy storage technology 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

34

Figure 26 shows three different scenarios for the global demand for LIB between 2010 and 1

2030 (green curves) along with global production capacities (orange and blue curve)[33] 2

While at the beginning of the decade the demand and sales numbers followed the medium 3

growth rate trend scenario the market has been approaching the high growth rate scenario in 4

the last years This is mainly due to the strong engagement of politics and respective 5

regulation and subsidy programs for electric mobility As can be seen from the graph the 6

share of demand generated by motive applications is expected to significantly grow in the next 7

years and might account for more than one third of the total LIB demand by 2025 8

To face this increasing demand for LIB cells accordingly production capacities need to be 9

build up in the near future Based on the currently existing cell production capacities and the 10

global announcements from established and new cell producers until 2025 the LIB cell 11

production capacities (blue line in 12

Figure 26) have been identified Compared to 15 GWh added production capacity between 13

2013 and 2016 in the next years around 50 GWh will be added annually leading to around 14

700 GWh production capacities until 2025 (in the optimistic case see blue line in 15

Figure 26) The announcements include established players such as Panasonic (JP) LG 16

Chem (KR) Samsung (KR) SKI (KR) BYD (CN) Lishen (CN) CATL (CN) CALB (CN) 17

OPTIMUM (CN) and several further Chinese cell producers Also new players such as TerraE 18

(DE) Northvolt (SW) Boston Energy (US AU) Energy Absolute (Thailand) are included 19

while accounting for the different stages of expansion [20 27] 20

234 Battery markets by application 23

Diversification of applications for batteries 24

The above described global developments of battery demand and production strongly concern 25

high-energy lithium-ion batteries with the cell chemistries NMC NCA (Ni-rich and Co-reduced 26

cathodes) and SiC (high capacity SiC anodes with 5-10 or higher Si content) and cell 27

formats cylindrical (eg larger 21700 compared to standard 18650) large pouch or prismatic 28

cells The target is to develop and produce cells with improved gravimetric and volumetric 29

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

35

energy densities and reduced costs in order to meet the requirements of the automotive 1

industry Electric passenger cars are driving the demand and thus development of the battery 2

technology and these optimized and cost reduced batteries define the benchmark today and 3

in the future 4

LIB demand by applications 5

In Figure 27 the global LIB demand is broken down to the three main sectors for battery 6

demand which can be characterised each having different profiles of requirement 7

bull electric mobility or electric vehicles (EV including eg passenger cars light 8

commercial vehicles buses trucks scooters ebikes etc) 9

bull stationary energy storage systems (ESS) and 10

bull portable devices (3C ndash Computer Communication Consumer) 11

The LIB cell demand developed to almost 25 GWh in 2010 since the market introduction in 12

the early 1990s and dominantly resulted from portable devices In 2015 the cell demand of 13

about 70 GWh was distributed already almost 5050 between 3C and EV applications 14

15

Figure 27 Global LIB demand (in GWh and share in ) by segment [34] 16

Since 2015 the global LIB demand has increased with compound annual growth rates 17

(CAGR) of ~25 from about 70 GWh to about 110 GWh in 2017 The market for electric 18

vehicles currently grows with 30-40 (and more depending on the application and region) and 19

a diversification in applications (eg buses trucks other light to heavy commercial vehicles 20

marine applications drones etc) can be observed 21

With the diversification of future markets and applications cost sensitive markets will arise for 22

which optimized high-energy and cost reduced automotive cells of certain cell formats will be 23

used However also applications with stronger requirements on long lifetime high cycleability 24

fast charging capability safety etc will emerge and diffuse where cost is not the most 25

relevant factor and other battery technologies (ie cell chemistries formats) can provide a 26

unique selling proposition and hence lead to a product differentiation 27

2341 LIB markets for 3C applications 28

Portable devices (3C) have been the main applications for LIB cells in the past Power tools 29

medical devices and wearables are expected to be products with an emerging future market 30

for small LIB cells but with enormous quantities The price per kWh that can be stored plays a 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

36

less important role for these applications As far as charging is concerned technologies such 1

as energy harvesting and wireless charging are expected to be introduced in the future For 2

many markets and products such as household devices garden cleaning power tools other 3

mobile leisure applications etc today mostly cylindrical LIB cells of the format 18650 are used 4

With the introduction of 21700 cells also larger cylindrical cells become available now and are 5

expected to be used in diffuse in such applications Although different specific cell chemistries 6

might be suitable depending on the concrete application again it can be stated that the 3C 7

segment is expected to lead to a comparably small battery capacity demand compared to the 8

EV segment and will not be the limiting segment with respect to the risk of resource 9

dependencies 10

In the next few years growth rates of about 5 to 10 percent are expected for the 3C markets 11

while laptop battery demand is developing at lower growth rates and power tools medical 12

devices etc are supporting the growth rates for the battery demand 13

14

15

Figure 28 Demand and growth of the 3C LIB market [34] 16

2342 LIB markets for stationary (ESS) applications 17

Stationary energy storage systems (ESS) can be divided into different size classes with regard 18

to the capacity and charging times Both together decide on the application area (eg small 19

PV storage at home peak load to long-term storage) [35] Beyond that the price per kWh put 20

through over the lifetime is the economic key factor (as synthesized by the LCOE levelized 21

cost of energy) In contrast gravimetric and volumetric energy density plays a subordinate 22

role Due to that lead-acid batteries were often used as storage technology for off- and on-23

grid storage Currently LIBs are being established for commercial use and meanwhile reach 24

an annual demand of some few GWh Other electrochemical storage technologies such as 25

sodium-sulfur batteries are still used but the demand for LIB is strongly increasing for ESS It 26

is expected that 2nd life concepts for batteries that had their first life in electric vehicles will 27

gain importance together with market diffusion in the EV segment as the requirements on the 28

batteries are less demanding in the ESS segment This however will require the development 29

of according business models standardization etc The much broader available technology 30

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

37

portfolio for ESS applications the use of 2nd life batteries and the fact that electric vehicle 1

batteries that are connected to the grid on a large scale with higher market diffusion can be 2

regarded as stationary storage systems as well (vehicle to grid V2G grid to vehicle G2V) help 3

to reduce the risk of technological and resource dependencies in the future 4

The market for stationary storage applications (ESS) is experiencing growth rates of 20 to 30 5

percent depending on individual market forecasts (in the last years CAGR have even been on 6

the level of 60 but decrease with increasing size of the market see Figure 29) 7

The market is currently on a level of few GWh including applications from smaller PV storage 8

systems of 5-10 kWh to larger industrial and grid connected installations for own power 9

consumption peak shaving etc on the MWh level Regarding these growth rates LIB for ESS 10

applications rapidly gain importance as de-central storage solutions compared to the currently 11

dominating central pumped hydro storage (PHS) Forecasts to 2025 differ by size and expect 12

an ESS LIB demand between 20-50 GWh (partially higher eg in [23]) but all forecasts identify 13

high growth rates 14

15

Figure 29 Demand and growth of the ESS LIB market [34] 16

17

2343 LIB markets for electric vehicle applications 18

One of the biggest challenges for batteries for electric vehicles (EV including electric cars 19

buses trucks etc) apart from their price is the increase of their volumetric and gravimetric 20

energy density The volumetric energy density is even more important for OEM due to 21

restricted and fixed space and location of the battery in an electric vehicle A very relevant 22

parameter of a battery is its charging and discharging power in particular in continuous 23

operation It determines the fast-charging capability which is an important argument in the 24

use and the establishment on the market At the same time this sets limits to the high-25

performance operation since energy consumption is reduced to protect the battery from 26

damage This illustrates the conflicting effect of different parameters on the battery lifetime 27

Price volume weight and thus charge density as well as chargedischarge rate in terms of 28

usage and durability are the most urgent challenges for battery manufacturers 29

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

38

The market for EV batteries is currently at the level of about 50 GWh (including electric 1

passenger cars busses trucks ebikes scooter forklifts etc) Growth rates are at 20 to 40 2

percent and the demand for EV batteries will lead to a share of about 66 percent in 2020 76 3

percent until 2025 and 80 percent or higher in the long term Electric passenger cars (BEV 4

and PHEV) define the by far largest market within the EV segment and are clearly driving the 5

technology development of high energy Lithium-Ion or Lithium-based batteries in the future 6

7

Figure 30 Demand and growth of the EV LIB market [34] 8

9

Other motive (or stationary or portable) markets applications besides the highly competitive 10

electric passenger cars therefore can offer interesting growth markets also for smaller cell 11

producers beyond the large Japanese Korean and Chinese cell producers These markets or 12

applications very often define concrete requirements for the battery performance they require 13

an in depth understanding and design from the cell chemistry format to the modulepack and 14

system integration and they still vary strongly by region and are connected to individual system 15

integrators or OEM This is because each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses 16

and none of them can satisfy all userapplication demands Hence a broader application 17

specific technology portfolio is even urgently needed in order to provide alternative individual 18

technology solutions for these emerging marketsapplications 19

20

235 Market channels and production structure 21

2351 Global production capacities and major players 22

Since their commercialization in the 1990s LIB have been predominantly produced by 23

Japanese and Korean companies Driven by the Chinese government particularly cell 24

producers but also companies covering other steps of the LIB value creation chain have been 25

established in China Due to a policy of simultaneous support for LIB production as well as for 26

application markets and due to an extensive subsidy scheme a large share of LIB production 27

capacities is located in China today 28

Figure 31 Figure 32 Figure 33 and Figure 34 show the global LIB production capacities of 29

major cell producers in 2018 as well as forecasts for 2020 2025 and 2030 respectively [36] 30

The data is based on announcements made by the cell producers As discussed in section 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

39

233 the actual time-frame for the implementation of the capacity expansions is often delayed 1

with respect to the original announcements Hence minimum and maximum values for the 2

production capacities are given 3

Figure 34 Global LIB production capacities of major cell producers in 2030 [36] 2

Until 2030 the announced production capacities add up to more than 1 TWh In total there 3

are about 30 cell producers which have announced to build up production capacities of more 4

than 10 GWhyear which can be considered to be a threshold in order to be able to produce 5

at competitve costs [36] If the announced capacities are fully utilized the ldquobig 4rdquo (Panasonic 6

CATL LGC and BYD) will be able to fully cover the market demand (gt550 GWh) until 2025 7

2352 Europes position in the global battery value chain 8

In the EU several actors are positioned which cover production steps along the whole value 9

chain of LIBs starting from raw material production to production of cells and systems and 10

finally recycling However with respect to global markets only few organizations within the EU 11

have a market share of more than 1 in their specific segment eg BASF Germany in the 12

field of electrolyte production [30] 13

An overview about existing and active companies is given by the European Battery Alliance 14

(see Figure 35) Due to the presence of strong automotive OEM LIB pack manufacturing and 15

system integration is taking place on large scale in Europe A particular gap in the value chain 16

is present due to the lack of a large-scale cell production capable of serving the volumes and 17

prices required by the automotive industry 18

Several consortia are currently attempting to build up a European large scale cell 4

manufacturing such as Nothvolt (Sweden) with 32 GWh until 2023 or Saft (together with 5

Siemens and Manz) [39] Recently the German government announced plans for funding of 6

a Batterie-Cell-Alliance between Germany and Poland with cell production capacities in the 7

Regions Lausitz (Germany) and Westpoland [40 41] At the cross section between RampD and 8

large-scale production also a Research Production with 600 Mio EUR funding is foreseen 9

whereas the Fraunhofer Society should coordinate and run such a research production [42] 10

The announced funding from the German government sums up to 2 bn EUR 11

Given all these announced investments and production capacities to build up in the next years 12

the cell production capacities of European cell manufacturers could sum up to over 40 GWh 13

beyond 2025 In contrast main Asian cell manufacturer have already started with cell 14

production (eg LG SDI) or plan to build up production capacities until 2020 to 2025 In 15

concrete there are plans from [43ndash51] 16

17

bull CATL (China) to build 14 GWh in Germany Erfurt beyond 2020 18

bull LG Chem (Japan) to build 15 to 24 GWh (for 03 Mio EVs) in Poland beyond 2020 19

bull Samsung SDI (Japan) to build 10 to 15 GWh beyond 2020 in Hungary (including a 20

recent 5 GWh announcement for 21700 cells for Land Rover 21

bull SK Innovation (Japan) to build 75 GWh in Hungary beyond 2020 22

bull PanasonicTesla to build a (assumed 35GWh) Gigafactory in Europa around 2025 23

bull as well as from BYD (China) GS Yuasa (Japan) and Farasis (US) to build production 24

capacities between 2020 and 2025 25

26

The production capacities from Asian (or non-European) cell manufacturer might sum up to 27

well above 82-96 GWh by 2025 and including BYD GS Yuasa Farasis etc capacities far 28

above 100 GWh can be expected Together with the new EU cell producers this could easily 29

sum up towards the above mentioned 200 GWh demand in Europe But it also clearly indicates 30

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

44

the competition the emerging European players have to face (besides the fact that the plans 1

of the Asian companies are expected to be realized already several years earlier as those of 2

the novel EU companies) 3

2353 Product design trends and technological roadmap 4

Concerning the battery technology or type (by chemistry format etc) which will most likely 5

be produced to address this increasing demand the global roadmaps of cell producers are 6

basically similar Based on state-of-the art cell design (eg LFP NCA based ldquogeneration 1rdquo 7

and NMC111 to NMC532 ldquogeneration 2abrdquo Li-ion batteries) [52] and state-of-the-art 8

production equipment incremental improvements are expected in the next few years but with 9

the target to get to higher-energy lithium-ion batteries Concerning the electrolytes still liquid 10

electrolytes will be used but adopted to the changing electrode materials (eg with additives) 11

Current trends for layered oxide cathodes describe the development of Ni-rich (Co reduced) 12

materials (NMC) A few cell producers are already using NMC811 or comparable cathode 13

materials others are still adopting NMC622 (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3ardquo) On cathode 14

side maybe even lower-cost Mn-rich High Energy NMCs (HE-NMC) might be realized and 15

produced within ~10 years as Mn is cheaper than Ni (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3brdquo) On 16

anode side the trend is to incorporate Si-nano particles to make use of the alloying reaction 17

between Si and Li yielding a high capacitance This however comes at the cost of cycle life 18

Further down the road we might see higher Si contents (~20) 19

20

All-solid-state batteries are on the roadmap of many battery producers but also OEM (also 21

referred to as ldquogeneration 4rdquo) The key performance parameters (KPI) are suitable for electric 22

mobility (EV) Main challenges are indeed manufacturability particularly for ceramic solid state 23

electrolytes which promise to yield the highest advantages over state of the art technologies 24

The market introduction in niche applications is expected possible prior to the use in 25

automotive applications First all-solid-state batteries might not be competitive in terms of 26

energy density but safety properties Later on energy densities of 350-400 Whkg and higher 27

are expected 28

Li-ion batteries but (according to the current level of knowledge) do not reach the necessary 5

KPIs in terms of energy density power density and cycling stability necessary for electric 6

mobility (these are marked in grey) USPs of these technologies can be cost resource 7

availability either volumetric or gravimetric energy density or others But often even 8

fundamental challenges are not solved yet (eg concerning the stability of materials and 9

24 Consumer expenditure base data 2

241 General objective of subtask 24 and approach 3

Subtask 24 gives an overview about average production costs and consumer prices incl 4

VAT (for consumer prices streetprice) excl VAT (for B2B products) as well as an estimation 5

of repair and maintenance as well as installation and disposal costs 6

Due to their recent larger scale market introduction there is still little experience with 7

maintenance as well as disposal expenses Hence only estimations can be made based on 8

isolated sources 9

242 Development of LIB cell costs 10

As the core of LIB based energy storage systems the battery cell exhibits the highest cost 11

share During the last years particularly standardized 18650 format LIB cells have 12

experienced a steep cost learning curve benefiting from production scale effects but also 13

from technological advancements on material level increasing the energy density per volume 14

and weight and decreasing the amount of cost intense Cobalt-based components Compared 15

to this benchmark larger format LIB cells (Pouch prismatic) as are utilized in xEVs and ESS 16

predominantly feature lower energy densities at higher cost per kWh There are however no 17

principal limitations which would prevent a performance and cost development similar to what 18

was observed for cylindrical cells Figure 39 shows the cost learning curves for cylindrical as 19

well as larger format LIB cells [33] Today average costs for cells suitable for automotive use 20

are below 150 eurokWh (cylindrical) and around 200 eurokWh (Pouchprismatic) In specific cases 21

prices around 100 eurokWh have been reported already [53] It should however be noted that 22

with the current market situation LIB prices being below costs are not unlikely to occur 23

Until 2025 production costs of the different cell formats are expected to approach and fall 24

below the mark of 100 eurokWh between 2020 and 2025 Taking further developments on 25

material level into account costs around 60-100 eurokWh seam feasible past 2025 26

Figure 39 Cost learning curves for large LIB cells (cylindrical and Pouchprismatic) [33] 3

Similar cost learning curves have been observed for other battery technologies (see Figure 4

40) In principal cost degression can be limited by demand (compare NiCd) or by reaching 5

material cost limits (compare Pb) Also the diffusion of battery technologies in new markets 6

or applications can lead to further technological improvements and justify higher production 7

costs (compare deviation of NiMH Pb) Following the available data for LIB cells approx 100 8

$kWh (~89 eurokWh) are reached at a cumulative yearly production of 1TWh This mark is 9

expected to be reached between 2020 and 2030 10

Beyond 2030 LIB production costs are however expected to start deviating from this curve 11

due to limiting raw material prices 12

2432 ESS 7

According to recent end-customer price data provided in [55] for 2018 typical consumer prices 8

for small scale (~10 kWh) stationary home storage systems are between 5000 and 15000 9

Euros leading to a relative price of 800 to 1200 eurokWh It is expected that these system prices 10

will benefit from the growing battery markets (also xEV) since similar LIB cell types can be 11

applied in both application areas With respect to inverters and other system related costs the 12

smaller market volume of home ESS indicates lower economy of scale effects as compared 13

to cells 14

So far no comprehensive information on repair and maintenance costs for the battery system 17

of xEVs are available Due to still rather accommodating service policies repair or 18

2451 Second life and recycling considerations 6

Until today only pilot projects Strategy of automotive OEM regarding second life applications 7

is not known 8

Value of recycled materials can be estimated 9

Three main scenarios possible after end of 1st life (xEV) 10

1 Disposal of batteries (eg separation of liquid and solid components hazardous waste 11

disposal) 12

2 Recycling of batteries and direct regeneration and re-use of cathode materials (2a) or 13

recovery of metals (2b) 14

3 2nd life in ESS applications under limited load (low DOD cycling low power) 15

16

Scenario 1 will add another component to battery costs scenario 2 and 3 could significantly 17

decrease the cost of batteries if energy efficient recycling methods can be developed or viable 18

2nd life business models are established 19

26 Annex 1

2611 Modelling of addressable markets for electric applications 2

Vehicle markets (in units of registrations in the EU28 per year) and ESS markets (in units of 3

number of installed home PV systems or in units of overall renewable (PV wind) electricity 4

generation in the EU28 per year) were modelled by exponential functions 5

119872119905119886119901119901(119905) = 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 6

With Mtapp(t) being the total market volume of an application M0 the market size in 2015 and 7

120591 times 119871119899(2) the time t necessary to double the initial market volume M0 M0 and Tau were chosen 8

to fit existing market data 9

119872119886119901119901(119905) = 119888 times 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 10

With Mapp(t) being the addressable market and c a factor equal or smaller than 1 Parameter 11

c lt 1 was chosen to take into account that not the whole existing market Mtapp might be 12

addressable by electric technologies Eg a share of vehicles primarily used for long distance 13

travel might not be addressable by BEV but by PHEV only 14

The market addressable for passenger PHEV (as a transition technology on the path to full 15

electric vehicles) was modelled as the difference of total vehicle sales and BEV sales 16

119872119875119867119864119881(119905) = 119888 times 119872119905119901119886119904119904119890119899119892119890119903(119905) minus 119878119861119864119881(119905) 17

The market addressable for passenger BEV was modelled like Mapp(t) with c lt 1 18

2612 Modelling of sales numbers of xEV and ESS 19

Yearly sales numbers Sapp(t) for the different applications were modelled by logistic growth 20

functions Logistic functions can model diffusion of technologies into existing markets with a 21

given market volume M The market volume can be a moving target M = M(t) The relative 22

change of sales numbers Srsquoapp(t)Sapp(t) is proportional to the market volume not yet 23

developed by a technology Mapp(t) ndash Sapp(t) 24

119878119886119901119901(119905) = 119872119886119901119901(119905) times1

1 + 119864119909119901(minus119872119886119901119901(119905) times (119905 minus 1199050)120591)(119872119886119901119901(119905)

119878119886119901119901(1199050)minus 1)

25

With Tau being a time constant and Sapp(t0) being the yearly sales number at year t0 (eg 26

2015) 27

Short time constants Tau of few years were used to model ESS sales Due to limitations of 28

the existing electricity grid to only buffer a certain share of fluctuating PV and wind generated 29

electricity the further expansion of renewable electricity generation might be strongly coupled 30

to ESS installations Hence ESS sales were modelled to closely follow the assumed 31

installations of renewable power in the limit of ldquovery fastrdquo market diffusion (120591 rarr 0) 32

2613 Modelling of battery system capacities 33

Battery capacities EBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws In 34

particular BEV battery capacities increased in the last years from 30 kWh in 2013 to more than 35

40 kWh in 2018 (EU sales and production averages) In the long term we expect BEV 36

capacities to converge towards a value sufficient to provide average driving ranges of some 37

100 km Battery capacity growth rates are hence supposed to slow down 38

119864119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198640 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 1

With E0 being the average battery capacity in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years and 2

b an exponent lt 1 The parameters were chosen to fit existing data 3

2614 Modelling of battery replacement rates 4

Battery replacement rates RrBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws 5

The replacement rate defines the share of batteries installed in year t that had to be replaced 6

within the lifetime of a system (xEV ESS) In particular for vehicles it is assumed that xEV 7

manufacturers currently install battery cells with a high lifetime and cyclability (several 8

thousand cycles) In the mid-term we expect that battery life and vehicle life (eg 200000 to 9

300000 km) will be matched by car manufacturers Assuming a constant vehicle lifetime 10

battery replacement rates are supposed to increase over time 11

119877119903119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198770 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 12

With R0 being the average replacement rate in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years 13

and b an exponent lt 1 At present there is no data available to fit the parameters Parameters 14

were estimated based on the usage profile and load of different applications 15

2615 Modelling of system lifetimes (xEV ESS) 16

System lifetimes Ltsystem(t) were assumed to be constant Ltsystem(t)= Ltsystem Parameters were 17

estimated based on manufacturer statements and typical lifetimes for combustion powered 18

vehicles 19

2616 Calculation of battery replacements 20

Battery replacements RpBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 21

calculated by assuming a uniform distribution of battery replacements over the lifetime 22

Ltsystem(i) of battery systems installed in year i 23

119877119901119861119886119905119905(119905) = sum119877119903119861119886119905119905(119894) times 119878119886119901119901(119894) times 119864119861119886119905119905(119894)

24

2617 Calculation of battery decommissions 25

Battery decommissions DcBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 26

assumed to happen coincident with the end of life of the systems (Ltsystem) they were installed 27

in in year i This neglects any second life usage in t gt i It was assumed that xEV or ESS 28

manufacturers will tune the battery lifetime to match the system lifetime (see 2614) 29

2618 Calculation of yearly installed battery capacity 31

The yearly installed battery capacity Sbapp(t) in the EU28 was calculated as 32

119878119887119886119901119901(119905) = 119878119886119901119901(119905) times 119864119886119901119901119861119886119905119905(119905) + 119877119901119886119901119901

on passenger PHEV and BEV as well as light and heavy commercial xEVs (see also [8] and 11

section 26) 12

It was assumed that extrapolated EU wide sales numbers and growth rates for passenger as 13

well as light vehicles [9] represent natural boundaries for the growth of xEV markets Logistic 14

growth functions (see setion 26) were used to model market diffusion Passenger BEV were 15

assumed to be an initially faster growing transition technology which will partially be replaced 1

by BEV in the long term A passenger xEV lifetime of 12 years with battery replacement rates 2

of 15 per lifetime were assumed For commercial vehicles a lifetime of 9 years and 3

replacement rate of 25 and a lifetime of 12 years and battery replacement rate of 80 were 4

223 Market stock and forecast for ESS in Europe 3

As discussed in Task 1 several stationary applications for batteries exist ranging from grid 4

support to home storage As will be shown in section 23 the demand for battery capacity 5

markets There is no systematic registration of large scale or small scale stationary storage 7

systems in the EU Hence the market stock and volume for respective applications can only 8

be estimated based on indirect data 9

2231 Photovoltaic installations in the EU 10

Energy storage systems in combination with photovoltaic installations are one major 11

application for batteries both for private as well as commercial purposes Due to changes in 12

reimbursement and subsidy policy as well as the physical capability of the energy system to 13

buffer and process high shares of renewable energy the use of local energy storage systems 14

is becoming more and more popular There is no data on the share of PV installations 15

equipped with an energy storage system for the EU However on regional level some data is 16

available According to [10] approximately half of the PV systems with a peak power below 1

30 kW installed in Germany in 2017 have been equipped with an energy storage option 2

(amounting to about 30000 storage systems with a cumulative capacity of 400 MWh) 3

At present the installation of storage systems is strongly coupled to new installations of PV 4

systems As shown in Figure 16 with data on Germany the retrofit of existing PV installations 5

with storage systems is however expected to contribute significantly to the demand for battery 6

capacity in the PV segment in the future Within the forecast shown 50 of the sold storage 7

systems might be integrated into already existing PV-systems in 2030 8

Figure 17 shows the yearly installed PV power (MW) in the EU28 [12] A boom of PV 12

installations can clearly be observed for the years 2010 to 2012 mainly driven by installations 13

in Germany and Italy Likely as a result of changing subsidy policies the yearly installed PV 14

power has since then steadily decreased in both countries On the other hand a steady 15

increase in installations can be observed for the Netherlands and the UK In the forecast model 16

applied in [12] a slight increase in new installations is expected until 2021 driven by 17

installations in the UK and Portugal as well as member countries which so far do not have 18

any considerable PV installations Due to decreasing costs for solar panels and rather stable 19

remuneration rates this upward trend seems to be justified 20

Figure 17 PV installations in EU28 countries and forecast until 2020 Data taken from [12] 2

Based on the data given in [10] for Germany 80 of the installed PV systems can be attributed 3

to small or medium sized installations (average of 10 kWp) directly feeding into the low-voltage 4

grid In terms of power these systems amount to about 30 of the installations If equipped 5

with an energy storage system the average battery capacity amounts to 8 to 10 kWh [13] 6

Concerning installations in Europe it can be argued that there is a trend towards smaller roof-7

top systems for more densely populated and less sunny regions while in particular in the 8

southern European countries larger solar parks are favored Since no comprehensive data 9

covering the whole EU is available only a rough estimation for the demand of battery storage 10

systems and capacity can be made 11

Assuming that the number of smaller roof-top installations (30 of power) as well as the 12

number of systems equipped with an ESS (50 of installations lt 30 kWp) is above average 13

for Germany as compared to the rest of the EU the market data and forecasts given in [12] 14

and [11] would lead to a demand for battery capacity as summarized in Table 5 15

2232 Wind Turbine installations in the EU 5

Similar to section 2231 for PV installations Figure 18 shows data and forecasts for wind 6

turbine power installations in the EU28 [12] In contrast to PV installations wind turbine power 7

is almost exclusively attributed to larger scale wind parks We conclude that the use of small 8

scale ESS for the optimization of private energy consumption is therefore not driven by wind 9

power installations 10

Still the ongoing installation of wind turbine power in the EU28 might become a driver for large 11

scale decentralized energy storage systems however there is no market data available which 12

would allow for a battery demand forecast 13

2234 Forecast ESS sales and stock EU28 2

The data presented in sections 2231 2232 and 2233 was used as an input for a forecast 3

model on large scale and home ESS 4

EU wide sales numbers and growth rates for PV coupled home storage systems were 5

extrapolated with declining growth rates for 2035 and beyond With respect to large scale ESS 6

it was assumed that the generation of electricity by renewable sources exceeding 17 (2015 7

value [15]) of the total electricity generation necessitates a certain amount of ESS buffer 8

capacity EU 2020 and 2030 targets [16 17] for the share of renewable electricity generation 9

were used as a forecast model The buffer capacity demand was estimated to be 70 of the 10

daily electrical energy generated by renewables exceeding the share of 17 11

A lifetime of 20 years with a replacement rate of 10 was assumed for home ESS and a 12

lifetime of 20 years with a battery replacement rate of 80 within this lifetime was assumed 13

for large scale ESS System capacities were modelled by a power law based on present-day 14

values The assumptions for the market model are summarized in Table 7 and Table 8 and 15

shall be subject to discussion during the stakeholder meeting 16

224 Summary of the market sales forecast and estimation of the future 1

and past stock 2

As shown in sections 222 and 223 several drivers exist for the application of battery storage 3

systems in stationary and motive applications While the demand for battery capacity 4

generated by BEV and PHEV passenger cars was on the level of several GWh for 2017 the 5

ESS markets might still be below the 1 GWh mark in the EU 6

With respect to the increase of average battery capacity installed in different applications (see 7

Figure 22) and the growth rates for the sales of xEV and ESS (see sections 2223 and 8

2232) forecasts for the total new installations (including replacements) of batteries in the 9

EU28 are shown in Figure 23 See annex for further comments 10

11

Figure 22 Average system battery energy (kWh or MWh) forecast 12

23 Market trends 3

231 General objective of subtask 23 and approach 4

The following chapter provides a comprehensive market overview on global battery sales 5

demand and players Starting with the market development of Lithium-ion batteries between 6

2010 to 2017 scenarios until 2025 to 2030 are presented including a meta-analysis of several 7

most recent market reports (eg [18ndash27]) Step by step the regional markets and markets by 8

applications will be specified 9

232 Market drivers and CO2 legislation [28] 10

Climate and energy policies are main drivers for the energy future and are expected to lead to 11

an increasing demand for energy storage in the mid and long term (see Figure 24) According 12

to the European Unionacutes decarbonization objective a reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) 13

emissions to 80 ndash 95 below 1990 levels should be achieved by 2050 14

In particular for the transport sector no full decarbonization is achieved [29] even in the longer 15

term (other sectors have to compensate with higher GHG reductions) The overall reduction 16

achieved in the transport sector by 2050 is only around 60 below 1990 levels The 17

increasing trend in emissions seen over the past 20 years is expected to reverse by the CO2 18

legislation From 2020 on the fleet average to be achieved by all new cars is 95 grams of CO2 19

per kilometer (compared to 130 gkm in 2015) 20

Many other governments world-wide have specified CO2 emission targets and are striving 21

towards a low carbon economy Particularly in the field of passenger and commercial vehicles 22

fuel consumption and emission targets have been installed which significantly drive the 23

introduction of battery or fuel cell powered electric vehicles Among these emission policies 24

the targets set by the EU are among the most ambitious (see Table 11) Meeting them will 25

require a significant share of electric vehicles 26

Table 11 Overview about fuel consumption and CO2-emission targets for passenger vehicles 1

of the EU and other countries leading battery and electric mobility markets [30] 2

In this context electric mobility is gaining importance since electric vehicles especially plug-3

in hybrid and pure battery electric vehicles can help to achieve or fulfill these limits due to 4

improved CO2 footprints compared to conventional cars However for low CO2 footprints over 5

the lifetime of electric cars a high share of ldquolow carbonrdquo renewable energy sources (RES) in 6

the energy mix is needed and important (Figure 24 left side) 7

8

Figure 24 Climate and energy policies as drivers for future energy storage demand [28] 9

The EU Energy Roadmap 2050 [31 32] has shown across six scenarios that the 10

decarbonization goal can be achieved if the share of renewable energy sources (RES) among 11

the power generation capacity is high (gt 60 until 2050) for all scenarios Especially for the 12

high RES scenario the share of fluctuating energy generation (wind photovoltaic ndash PV) is the 13

strongest which has to be balanced Grid expansion andor flexibilization measures (eg 14

demand side management power to gas and vehicle to grid besides stationary battery 15

storage) are potential solutions Thus the high RES scenario is the most interesting scenario 16

with respect to a potential future demand for energy storage solutions (ESS) on local 17

distribution and transmission grid levels (Figure 24 right side) In order to have a significant 18

GHG reduction with EVs it will also be important to achieve the RES targets 19

233 The developing battery market 1

The total annual battery market is currently on the level of 45-60 billion Euro representing 2

approximately 400-500 GWh (including Lead-acid Lithium-Ion and other batteries) [33] 3

Lithium-ion batteries (LIB) have succeeded because of their high gravimetric and volumetric 4

energy densities and have a market share of about a third in terms of value among the whole 5

battery market The growth is driven by the decreasing cell costs of less than 170 eurokWh for a 6

standard cylindrical cell (lowest prices) approaching the 90 eurokWh mark in the next years This 7

cost degression is due to increasing capacity demand and production and thus due to scale 8

effects 9

Although the LIB market is drastically growing with annual growth rates of up to 30 percent 10

on average (in terms of battery capacity demand) the dominating battery technology in terms 11

of capacity however are still lead-acid batteries representing about 90 percent of the global 12

demand in volume around 2010 and 80 percent in 2017 13

14

15

Figure 25 Historical development of the global battery demand in GWh (left axis for NiCd 16

NiMH right axis for all other battery types grey total battery demand) [34] 17

Other mature battery technologies like NiCd (still partly used in power tools) and NiMH (still 18

used in hybrid electric vehicles HEV) are slowly declining and are expected to disappear from 19

the market in the next decade The diversification of future battery applications however will 20

also broaden the range of battery technologies Emerging technologies like Na-based Metal-21

Sulfur or Redox Flow batteries are developing and may lead to attractive solutions eg with 22

respect to cost and resource availability advantages However due to very strict requirements 23

on volumetric energy densities these technologies are expected to be relevant for stationary 24

or other special markets and less for the most significant electric vehicle market In general 25

each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses and none of them can satisfy all user 26

demands Hence a broader application-specific technology portfolio is urgently needed in 27

order to provide alternative technology solutions in the future 28

The extremely dynamic development of the global LIB demand will lead to the TWh level latest 29

around 2030 and grow further after 2030 Thus LIB will very soon transform into the 30

dominating energy storage technology 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

34

Figure 26 shows three different scenarios for the global demand for LIB between 2010 and 1

2030 (green curves) along with global production capacities (orange and blue curve)[33] 2

While at the beginning of the decade the demand and sales numbers followed the medium 3

growth rate trend scenario the market has been approaching the high growth rate scenario in 4

the last years This is mainly due to the strong engagement of politics and respective 5

regulation and subsidy programs for electric mobility As can be seen from the graph the 6

share of demand generated by motive applications is expected to significantly grow in the next 7

years and might account for more than one third of the total LIB demand by 2025 8

To face this increasing demand for LIB cells accordingly production capacities need to be 9

build up in the near future Based on the currently existing cell production capacities and the 10

global announcements from established and new cell producers until 2025 the LIB cell 11

production capacities (blue line in 12

Figure 26) have been identified Compared to 15 GWh added production capacity between 13

2013 and 2016 in the next years around 50 GWh will be added annually leading to around 14

700 GWh production capacities until 2025 (in the optimistic case see blue line in 15

Figure 26) The announcements include established players such as Panasonic (JP) LG 16

Chem (KR) Samsung (KR) SKI (KR) BYD (CN) Lishen (CN) CATL (CN) CALB (CN) 17

OPTIMUM (CN) and several further Chinese cell producers Also new players such as TerraE 18

(DE) Northvolt (SW) Boston Energy (US AU) Energy Absolute (Thailand) are included 19

while accounting for the different stages of expansion [20 27] 20

21

234 Battery markets by application 23

Diversification of applications for batteries 24

The above described global developments of battery demand and production strongly concern 25

high-energy lithium-ion batteries with the cell chemistries NMC NCA (Ni-rich and Co-reduced 26

cathodes) and SiC (high capacity SiC anodes with 5-10 or higher Si content) and cell 27

formats cylindrical (eg larger 21700 compared to standard 18650) large pouch or prismatic 28

cells The target is to develop and produce cells with improved gravimetric and volumetric 29

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

35

energy densities and reduced costs in order to meet the requirements of the automotive 1

industry Electric passenger cars are driving the demand and thus development of the battery 2

technology and these optimized and cost reduced batteries define the benchmark today and 3

in the future 4

LIB demand by applications 5

In Figure 27 the global LIB demand is broken down to the three main sectors for battery 6

demand which can be characterised each having different profiles of requirement 7

bull electric mobility or electric vehicles (EV including eg passenger cars light 8

commercial vehicles buses trucks scooters ebikes etc) 9

bull stationary energy storage systems (ESS) and 10

bull portable devices (3C ndash Computer Communication Consumer) 11

The LIB cell demand developed to almost 25 GWh in 2010 since the market introduction in 12

the early 1990s and dominantly resulted from portable devices In 2015 the cell demand of 13

about 70 GWh was distributed already almost 5050 between 3C and EV applications 14

15

Figure 27 Global LIB demand (in GWh and share in ) by segment [34] 16

Since 2015 the global LIB demand has increased with compound annual growth rates 17

(CAGR) of ~25 from about 70 GWh to about 110 GWh in 2017 The market for electric 18

vehicles currently grows with 30-40 (and more depending on the application and region) and 19

a diversification in applications (eg buses trucks other light to heavy commercial vehicles 20

marine applications drones etc) can be observed 21

With the diversification of future markets and applications cost sensitive markets will arise for 22

which optimized high-energy and cost reduced automotive cells of certain cell formats will be 23

used However also applications with stronger requirements on long lifetime high cycleability 24

fast charging capability safety etc will emerge and diffuse where cost is not the most 25

relevant factor and other battery technologies (ie cell chemistries formats) can provide a 26

unique selling proposition and hence lead to a product differentiation 27

2341 LIB markets for 3C applications 28

Portable devices (3C) have been the main applications for LIB cells in the past Power tools 29

medical devices and wearables are expected to be products with an emerging future market 30

for small LIB cells but with enormous quantities The price per kWh that can be stored plays a 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

36

less important role for these applications As far as charging is concerned technologies such 1

as energy harvesting and wireless charging are expected to be introduced in the future For 2

many markets and products such as household devices garden cleaning power tools other 3

mobile leisure applications etc today mostly cylindrical LIB cells of the format 18650 are used 4

With the introduction of 21700 cells also larger cylindrical cells become available now and are 5

expected to be used in diffuse in such applications Although different specific cell chemistries 6

might be suitable depending on the concrete application again it can be stated that the 3C 7

segment is expected to lead to a comparably small battery capacity demand compared to the 8

EV segment and will not be the limiting segment with respect to the risk of resource 9

dependencies 10

In the next few years growth rates of about 5 to 10 percent are expected for the 3C markets 11

while laptop battery demand is developing at lower growth rates and power tools medical 12

devices etc are supporting the growth rates for the battery demand 13

14

15

Figure 28 Demand and growth of the 3C LIB market [34] 16

2342 LIB markets for stationary (ESS) applications 17

Stationary energy storage systems (ESS) can be divided into different size classes with regard 18

to the capacity and charging times Both together decide on the application area (eg small 19

PV storage at home peak load to long-term storage) [35] Beyond that the price per kWh put 20

through over the lifetime is the economic key factor (as synthesized by the LCOE levelized 21

cost of energy) In contrast gravimetric and volumetric energy density plays a subordinate 22

role Due to that lead-acid batteries were often used as storage technology for off- and on-23

grid storage Currently LIBs are being established for commercial use and meanwhile reach 24

an annual demand of some few GWh Other electrochemical storage technologies such as 25

sodium-sulfur batteries are still used but the demand for LIB is strongly increasing for ESS It 26

is expected that 2nd life concepts for batteries that had their first life in electric vehicles will 27

gain importance together with market diffusion in the EV segment as the requirements on the 28

batteries are less demanding in the ESS segment This however will require the development 29

of according business models standardization etc The much broader available technology 30

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

37

portfolio for ESS applications the use of 2nd life batteries and the fact that electric vehicle 1

batteries that are connected to the grid on a large scale with higher market diffusion can be 2

regarded as stationary storage systems as well (vehicle to grid V2G grid to vehicle G2V) help 3

to reduce the risk of technological and resource dependencies in the future 4

The market for stationary storage applications (ESS) is experiencing growth rates of 20 to 30 5

percent depending on individual market forecasts (in the last years CAGR have even been on 6

the level of 60 but decrease with increasing size of the market see Figure 29) 7

The market is currently on a level of few GWh including applications from smaller PV storage 8

systems of 5-10 kWh to larger industrial and grid connected installations for own power 9

consumption peak shaving etc on the MWh level Regarding these growth rates LIB for ESS 10

applications rapidly gain importance as de-central storage solutions compared to the currently 11

dominating central pumped hydro storage (PHS) Forecasts to 2025 differ by size and expect 12

an ESS LIB demand between 20-50 GWh (partially higher eg in [23]) but all forecasts identify 13

high growth rates 14

15

2343 LIB markets for electric vehicle applications 18

One of the biggest challenges for batteries for electric vehicles (EV including electric cars 19

buses trucks etc) apart from their price is the increase of their volumetric and gravimetric 20

energy density The volumetric energy density is even more important for OEM due to 21

restricted and fixed space and location of the battery in an electric vehicle A very relevant 22

parameter of a battery is its charging and discharging power in particular in continuous 23

operation It determines the fast-charging capability which is an important argument in the 24

use and the establishment on the market At the same time this sets limits to the high-25

performance operation since energy consumption is reduced to protect the battery from 26

damage This illustrates the conflicting effect of different parameters on the battery lifetime 27

Price volume weight and thus charge density as well as chargedischarge rate in terms of 28

usage and durability are the most urgent challenges for battery manufacturers 29

The market for EV batteries is currently at the level of about 50 GWh (including electric 1

passenger cars busses trucks ebikes scooter forklifts etc) Growth rates are at 20 to 40 2

percent and the demand for EV batteries will lead to a share of about 66 percent in 2020 76 3

percent until 2025 and 80 percent or higher in the long term Electric passenger cars (BEV 4

and PHEV) define the by far largest market within the EV segment and are clearly driving the 5

technology development of high energy Lithium-Ion or Lithium-based batteries in the future 6

Other motive (or stationary or portable) markets applications besides the highly competitive 10

electric passenger cars therefore can offer interesting growth markets also for smaller cell 11

producers beyond the large Japanese Korean and Chinese cell producers These markets or 12

applications very often define concrete requirements for the battery performance they require 13

an in depth understanding and design from the cell chemistry format to the modulepack and 14

system integration and they still vary strongly by region and are connected to individual system 15

integrators or OEM This is because each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses 16

and none of them can satisfy all userapplication demands Hence a broader application 17

specific technology portfolio is even urgently needed in order to provide alternative individual 18

technology solutions for these emerging marketsapplications 19

235 Market channels and production structure 21

2351 Global production capacities and major players 22

Since their commercialization in the 1990s LIB have been predominantly produced by 23

Japanese and Korean companies Driven by the Chinese government particularly cell 24

producers but also companies covering other steps of the LIB value creation chain have been 25

established in China Due to a policy of simultaneous support for LIB production as well as for 26

application markets and due to an extensive subsidy scheme a large share of LIB production 27

capacities is located in China today 28

Figure 31 Figure 32 Figure 33 and Figure 34 show the global LIB production capacities of 29

major cell producers in 2018 as well as forecasts for 2020 2025 and 2030 respectively [36] 30

The data is based on announcements made by the cell producers As discussed in section 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

39

233 the actual time-frame for the implementation of the capacity expansions is often delayed 1

with respect to the original announcements Hence minimum and maximum values for the 2

production capacities are given 3

Figure 34 Global LIB production capacities of major cell producers in 2030 [36] 2

Until 2030 the announced production capacities add up to more than 1 TWh In total there 3

are about 30 cell producers which have announced to build up production capacities of more 4

than 10 GWhyear which can be considered to be a threshold in order to be able to produce 5

at competitve costs [36] If the announced capacities are fully utilized the ldquobig 4rdquo (Panasonic 6

CATL LGC and BYD) will be able to fully cover the market demand (gt550 GWh) until 2025 7

2352 Europes position in the global battery value chain 8

In the EU several actors are positioned which cover production steps along the whole value 9

chain of LIBs starting from raw material production to production of cells and systems and 10

finally recycling However with respect to global markets only few organizations within the EU 11

have a market share of more than 1 in their specific segment eg BASF Germany in the 12

field of electrolyte production [30] 13

An overview about existing and active companies is given by the European Battery Alliance 14

(see Figure 35) Due to the presence of strong automotive OEM LIB pack manufacturing and 15

system integration is taking place on large scale in Europe A particular gap in the value chain 16

is present due to the lack of a large-scale cell production capable of serving the volumes and 17

prices required by the automotive industry 18

Several consortia are currently attempting to build up a European large scale cell 4

manufacturing such as Nothvolt (Sweden) with 32 GWh until 2023 or Saft (together with 5

Siemens and Manz) [39] Recently the German government announced plans for funding of 6

a Batterie-Cell-Alliance between Germany and Poland with cell production capacities in the 7

Regions Lausitz (Germany) and Westpoland [40 41] At the cross section between RampD and 8

large-scale production also a Research Production with 600 Mio EUR funding is foreseen 9

whereas the Fraunhofer Society should coordinate and run such a research production [42] 10

The announced funding from the German government sums up to 2 bn EUR 11

Given all these announced investments and production capacities to build up in the next years 12

the cell production capacities of European cell manufacturers could sum up to over 40 GWh 13

beyond 2025 In contrast main Asian cell manufacturer have already started with cell 14

production (eg LG SDI) or plan to build up production capacities until 2020 to 2025 In 15

concrete there are plans from [43ndash51] 16

17

bull CATL (China) to build 14 GWh in Germany Erfurt beyond 2020 18

bull LG Chem (Japan) to build 15 to 24 GWh (for 03 Mio EVs) in Poland beyond 2020 19

bull Samsung SDI (Japan) to build 10 to 15 GWh beyond 2020 in Hungary (including a 20

recent 5 GWh announcement for 21700 cells for Land Rover 21

bull SK Innovation (Japan) to build 75 GWh in Hungary beyond 2020 22

bull PanasonicTesla to build a (assumed 35GWh) Gigafactory in Europa around 2025 23

bull as well as from BYD (China) GS Yuasa (Japan) and Farasis (US) to build production 24

capacities between 2020 and 2025 25

26

The production capacities from Asian (or non-European) cell manufacturer might sum up to 27

well above 82-96 GWh by 2025 and including BYD GS Yuasa Farasis etc capacities far 28

above 100 GWh can be expected Together with the new EU cell producers this could easily 29

sum up towards the above mentioned 200 GWh demand in Europe But it also clearly indicates 30

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

44

the competition the emerging European players have to face (besides the fact that the plans 1

of the Asian companies are expected to be realized already several years earlier as those of 2

the novel EU companies) 3

2353 Product design trends and technological roadmap 4

Concerning the battery technology or type (by chemistry format etc) which will most likely 5

be produced to address this increasing demand the global roadmaps of cell producers are 6

basically similar Based on state-of-the art cell design (eg LFP NCA based ldquogeneration 1rdquo 7

and NMC111 to NMC532 ldquogeneration 2abrdquo Li-ion batteries) [52] and state-of-the-art 8

production equipment incremental improvements are expected in the next few years but with 9

the target to get to higher-energy lithium-ion batteries Concerning the electrolytes still liquid 10

electrolytes will be used but adopted to the changing electrode materials (eg with additives) 11

Current trends for layered oxide cathodes describe the development of Ni-rich (Co reduced) 12

materials (NMC) A few cell producers are already using NMC811 or comparable cathode 13

materials others are still adopting NMC622 (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3ardquo) On cathode 14

side maybe even lower-cost Mn-rich High Energy NMCs (HE-NMC) might be realized and 15

produced within ~10 years as Mn is cheaper than Ni (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3brdquo) On 16

anode side the trend is to incorporate Si-nano particles to make use of the alloying reaction 17

between Si and Li yielding a high capacitance This however comes at the cost of cycle life 18

Further down the road we might see higher Si contents (~20) 19

20

All-solid-state batteries are on the roadmap of many battery producers but also OEM (also 21

referred to as ldquogeneration 4rdquo) The key performance parameters (KPI) are suitable for electric 22

mobility (EV) Main challenges are indeed manufacturability particularly for ceramic solid state 23

electrolytes which promise to yield the highest advantages over state of the art technologies 24

The market introduction in niche applications is expected possible prior to the use in 25

automotive applications First all-solid-state batteries might not be competitive in terms of 26

energy density but safety properties Later on energy densities of 350-400 Whkg and higher 27

are expected 28

Other technologies (not marked in blue in the above figure) feature certain USPs compared to 4

Li-ion batteries but (according to the current level of knowledge) do not reach the necessary 5

KPIs in terms of energy density power density and cycling stability necessary for electric 6

mobility (these are marked in grey) USPs of these technologies can be cost resource 7

availability either volumetric or gravimetric energy density or others But often even 8

fundamental challenges are not solved yet (eg concerning the stability of materials and 9

electrochemical systems kinetics etc) 10

24 Consumer expenditure base data 2

241 General objective of subtask 24 and approach 3

Subtask 24 gives an overview about average production costs and consumer prices incl 4

VAT (for consumer prices streetprice) excl VAT (for B2B products) as well as an estimation 5

of repair and maintenance as well as installation and disposal costs 6

Due to their recent larger scale market introduction there is still little experience with 7

maintenance as well as disposal expenses Hence only estimations can be made based on 8

isolated sources 9

242 Development of LIB cell costs 10

As the core of LIB based energy storage systems the battery cell exhibits the highest cost 11

share During the last years particularly standardized 18650 format LIB cells have 12

experienced a steep cost learning curve benefiting from production scale effects but also 13

from technological advancements on material level increasing the energy density per volume 14

and weight and decreasing the amount of cost intense Cobalt-based components Compared 15

to this benchmark larger format LIB cells (Pouch prismatic) as are utilized in xEVs and ESS 16

predominantly feature lower energy densities at higher cost per kWh There are however no 17

principal limitations which would prevent a performance and cost development similar to what 18

was observed for cylindrical cells Figure 39 shows the cost learning curves for cylindrical as 19

well as larger format LIB cells [33] Today average costs for cells suitable for automotive use 20

are below 150 eurokWh (cylindrical) and around 200 eurokWh (Pouchprismatic) In specific cases 21

prices around 100 eurokWh have been reported already [53] It should however be noted that 22

with the current market situation LIB prices being below costs are not unlikely to occur 23

Until 2025 production costs of the different cell formats are expected to approach and fall 24

below the mark of 100 eurokWh between 2020 and 2025 Taking further developments on 25

material level into account costs around 60-100 eurokWh seam feasible past 2025 26

Figure 39 Cost learning curves for large LIB cells (cylindrical and Pouchprismatic) [33] 3

Similar cost learning curves have been observed for other battery technologies (see Figure 4

40) In principal cost degression can be limited by demand (compare NiCd) or by reaching 5

material cost limits (compare Pb) Also the diffusion of battery technologies in new markets 6

or applications can lead to further technological improvements and justify higher production 7

costs (compare deviation of NiMH Pb) Following the available data for LIB cells approx 100 8

$kWh (~89 eurokWh) are reached at a cumulative yearly production of 1TWh This mark is 9

expected to be reached between 2020 and 2030 10

Beyond 2030 LIB production costs are however expected to start deviating from this curve 11

due to limiting raw material prices 12

2432 ESS 7

According to recent end-customer price data provided in [55] for 2018 typical consumer prices 8

for small scale (~10 kWh) stationary home storage systems are between 5000 and 15000 9

Euros leading to a relative price of 800 to 1200 eurokWh It is expected that these system prices 10

will benefit from the growing battery markets (also xEV) since similar LIB cell types can be 11

applied in both application areas With respect to inverters and other system related costs the 12

smaller market volume of home ESS indicates lower economy of scale effects as compared 13

to cells 14

244 Installation repair and maintenance costs 15

2441 xEV 16

So far no comprehensive information on repair and maintenance costs for the battery system 17

of xEVs are available Due to still rather accommodating service policies repair or 18

replacement of batteries is so far often covered by the manufacturer 19

2451 Second life and recycling considerations 6

Until today only pilot projects Strategy of automotive OEM regarding second life applications 7

is not known 8

Value of recycled materials can be estimated 9

Three main scenarios possible after end of 1st life (xEV) 10

1 Disposal of batteries (eg separation of liquid and solid components hazardous waste 11

disposal) 12

2 Recycling of batteries and direct regeneration and re-use of cathode materials (2a) or 13

recovery of metals (2b) 14

3 2nd life in ESS applications under limited load (low DOD cycling low power) 15

16

Scenario 1 will add another component to battery costs scenario 2 and 3 could significantly 17

decrease the cost of batteries if energy efficient recycling methods can be developed or viable 18

2nd life business models are established 19

26 Annex 1

2611 Modelling of addressable markets for electric applications 2

Vehicle markets (in units of registrations in the EU28 per year) and ESS markets (in units of 3

number of installed home PV systems or in units of overall renewable (PV wind) electricity 4

generation in the EU28 per year) were modelled by exponential functions 5

119872119905119886119901119901(119905) = 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 6

With Mtapp(t) being the total market volume of an application M0 the market size in 2015 and 7

120591 times 119871119899(2) the time t necessary to double the initial market volume M0 M0 and Tau were chosen 8

to fit existing market data 9

119872119886119901119901(119905) = 119888 times 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 10

With Mapp(t) being the addressable market and c a factor equal or smaller than 1 Parameter 11

c lt 1 was chosen to take into account that not the whole existing market Mtapp might be 12

addressable by electric technologies Eg a share of vehicles primarily used for long distance 13

travel might not be addressable by BEV but by PHEV only 14

The market addressable for passenger PHEV (as a transition technology on the path to full 15

electric vehicles) was modelled as the difference of total vehicle sales and BEV sales 16

119872119875119867119864119881(119905) = 119888 times 119872119905119901119886119904119904119890119899119892119890119903(119905) minus 119878119861119864119881(119905) 17

The market addressable for passenger BEV was modelled like Mapp(t) with c lt 1 18

2612 Modelling of sales numbers of xEV and ESS 19

Yearly sales numbers Sapp(t) for the different applications were modelled by logistic growth 20

functions Logistic functions can model diffusion of technologies into existing markets with a 21

given market volume M The market volume can be a moving target M = M(t) The relative 22

change of sales numbers Srsquoapp(t)Sapp(t) is proportional to the market volume not yet 23

developed by a technology Mapp(t) ndash Sapp(t) 24

119878119886119901119901(119905) = 119872119886119901119901(119905) times1

1 + 119864119909119901(minus119872119886119901119901(119905) times (119905 minus 1199050)120591)(119872119886119901119901(119905)

119878119886119901119901(1199050)minus 1)

25

With Tau being a time constant and Sapp(t0) being the yearly sales number at year t0 (eg 26

2015) 27

Short time constants Tau of few years were used to model ESS sales Due to limitations of 28

the existing electricity grid to only buffer a certain share of fluctuating PV and wind generated 29

electricity the further expansion of renewable electricity generation might be strongly coupled 30

to ESS installations Hence ESS sales were modelled to closely follow the assumed 31

installations of renewable power in the limit of ldquovery fastrdquo market diffusion (120591 rarr 0) 32

2613 Modelling of battery system capacities 33

Battery capacities EBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws In 34

particular BEV battery capacities increased in the last years from 30 kWh in 2013 to more than 35

40 kWh in 2018 (EU sales and production averages) In the long term we expect BEV 36

capacities to converge towards a value sufficient to provide average driving ranges of some 37

100 km Battery capacity growth rates are hence supposed to slow down 38

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

119864119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198640 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 1

With E0 being the average battery capacity in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years and 2

b an exponent lt 1 The parameters were chosen to fit existing data 3

2614 Modelling of battery replacement rates 4

Battery replacement rates RrBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws 5

The replacement rate defines the share of batteries installed in year t that had to be replaced 6

within the lifetime of a system (xEV ESS) In particular for vehicles it is assumed that xEV 7

manufacturers currently install battery cells with a high lifetime and cyclability (several 8

thousand cycles) In the mid-term we expect that battery life and vehicle life (eg 200000 to 9

300000 km) will be matched by car manufacturers Assuming a constant vehicle lifetime 10

battery replacement rates are supposed to increase over time 11

119877119903119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198770 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 12

With R0 being the average replacement rate in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years 13

and b an exponent lt 1 At present there is no data available to fit the parameters Parameters 14

were estimated based on the usage profile and load of different applications 15

2615 Modelling of system lifetimes (xEV ESS) 16

System lifetimes Ltsystem(t) were assumed to be constant Ltsystem(t)= Ltsystem Parameters were 17

estimated based on manufacturer statements and typical lifetimes for combustion powered 18

vehicles 19

2616 Calculation of battery replacements 20

Battery replacements RpBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 21

calculated by assuming a uniform distribution of battery replacements over the lifetime 22

Ltsystem(i) of battery systems installed in year i 23

119877119901119861119886119905119905(119905) = sum119877119903119861119886119905119905(119894) times 119878119886119901119901(119894) times 119864119861119886119905119905(119894)

2617 Calculation of battery decommissions 25

Battery decommissions DcBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 26

assumed to happen coincident with the end of life of the systems (Ltsystem) they were installed 27

in in year i This neglects any second life usage in t gt i It was assumed that xEV or ESS 28

manufacturers will tune the battery lifetime to match the system lifetime (see 2614) 29

2618 Calculation of yearly installed battery capacity 31

The yearly installed battery capacity Sbapp(t) in the EU28 was calculated as 32

119878119887119886119901119901(119905) = 119878119886119901119901(119905) times 119864119886119901119901119861119886119905119905(119905) + 119877119901119886119901119901

223 Market stock and forecast for ESS in Europe 3

As discussed in Task 1 several stationary applications for batteries exist ranging from grid 4

support to home storage As will be shown in section 23 the demand for battery capacity 5

generated by ESS applications at present is rather small as compared to 3C and motive 6

markets There is no systematic registration of large scale or small scale stationary storage 7

systems in the EU Hence the market stock and volume for respective applications can only 8

be estimated based on indirect data 9

2231 Photovoltaic installations in the EU 10

Energy storage systems in combination with photovoltaic installations are one major 11

application for batteries both for private as well as commercial purposes Due to changes in 12

reimbursement and subsidy policy as well as the physical capability of the energy system to 13

buffer and process high shares of renewable energy the use of local energy storage systems 14

is becoming more and more popular There is no data on the share of PV installations 15

equipped with an energy storage system for the EU However on regional level some data is 16

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

20

available According to [10] approximately half of the PV systems with a peak power below 1

30 kW installed in Germany in 2017 have been equipped with an energy storage option 2

(amounting to about 30000 storage systems with a cumulative capacity of 400 MWh) 3

At present the installation of storage systems is strongly coupled to new installations of PV 4

systems As shown in Figure 16 with data on Germany the retrofit of existing PV installations 5

with storage systems is however expected to contribute significantly to the demand for battery 6

capacity in the PV segment in the future Within the forecast shown 50 of the sold storage 7

systems might be integrated into already existing PV-systems in 2030 8

9

Figure 16 PV installations and retrofit of existing PV installations in Germany Data and image 10

taken from [11] 11

Figure 17 shows the yearly installed PV power (MW) in the EU28 [12] A boom of PV 12

installations can clearly be observed for the years 2010 to 2012 mainly driven by installations 13

in Germany and Italy Likely as a result of changing subsidy policies the yearly installed PV 14

power has since then steadily decreased in both countries On the other hand a steady 15

increase in installations can be observed for the Netherlands and the UK In the forecast model 16

applied in [12] a slight increase in new installations is expected until 2021 driven by 17

installations in the UK and Portugal as well as member countries which so far do not have 18

any considerable PV installations Due to decreasing costs for solar panels and rather stable 19

remuneration rates this upward trend seems to be justified 20

Figure 17 PV installations in EU28 countries and forecast until 2020 Data taken from [12] 2

Based on the data given in [10] for Germany 80 of the installed PV systems can be attributed 3

to small or medium sized installations (average of 10 kWp) directly feeding into the low-voltage 4

grid In terms of power these systems amount to about 30 of the installations If equipped 5

with an energy storage system the average battery capacity amounts to 8 to 10 kWh [13] 6

Concerning installations in Europe it can be argued that there is a trend towards smaller roof-7

top systems for more densely populated and less sunny regions while in particular in the 8

southern European countries larger solar parks are favored Since no comprehensive data 9

covering the whole EU is available only a rough estimation for the demand of battery storage 10

systems and capacity can be made 11

Assuming that the number of smaller roof-top installations (30 of power) as well as the 12

number of systems equipped with an ESS (50 of installations lt 30 kWp) is above average 13

for Germany as compared to the rest of the EU the market data and forecasts given in [12] 14

and [11] would lead to a demand for battery capacity as summarized in Table 5 15

2232 Wind Turbine installations in the EU 5

Similar to section 2231 for PV installations Figure 18 shows data and forecasts for wind 6

turbine power installations in the EU28 [12] In contrast to PV installations wind turbine power 7

is almost exclusively attributed to larger scale wind parks We conclude that the use of small 8

scale ESS for the optimization of private energy consumption is therefore not driven by wind 9

power installations 10

Still the ongoing installation of wind turbine power in the EU28 might become a driver for large 11

scale decentralized energy storage systems however there is no market data available which 12

would allow for a battery demand forecast 13

2233 Large battery ESS projects 5

the world Figure 19 shows the cumulated storage capacity (installed stock) for the EU28 Of 7

the 450 MWh installed until 2018 in total 340 MWh were installed in Germany and 80 MWh 8

in the UK Since this is not an exhaustive list it can be considered as lower boundary for the 9

installed stock 10

Figure 19 Installed ESS capacity (stock) in large scale projects in EU28 A ratio of 11 with 2

respect to installed power and installed energy content (capacity) was assumed [14] 3

Table 6 lists larger scale (~MWh) stationary storage systems installed in the EU in 2017 [12] 4

80 of these installations are categorized as substation storage 6 relates to frequency 5

stabilization 5 to storage of wind-generated energy and 1 to storage of PV-generated 6

energy 7

Note that most of these installations are prototype or test facilities which does not allow to 8

use this application share as template for future market developments The total installed 9

capacity of 340 MWh in 2017 suggests that the market volume of large scale ESS is of the 10

same order of magnitude as that of home storage Note that the installed capacity for 2017 in 11

[14] is only 65 MWh It is however not stated in [12] whether the listed ESS projects are still in 12

construction or already operational 13

2234 Forecast ESS sales and stock EU28 2

The data presented in sections 2231 2232 and 2233 was used as an input for a forecast 3

model on large scale and home ESS 4

EU wide sales numbers and growth rates for PV coupled home storage systems were 5

extrapolated with declining growth rates for 2035 and beyond With respect to large scale ESS 6

it was assumed that the generation of electricity by renewable sources exceeding 17 (2015 7

value [15]) of the total electricity generation necessitates a certain amount of ESS buffer 8

capacity EU 2020 and 2030 targets [16 17] for the share of renewable electricity generation 9

were used as a forecast model The buffer capacity demand was estimated to be 70 of the 10

daily electrical energy generated by renewables exceeding the share of 17 11

A lifetime of 20 years with a replacement rate of 10 was assumed for home ESS and a 12

lifetime of 20 years with a battery replacement rate of 80 within this lifetime was assumed 13

for large scale ESS System capacities were modelled by a power law based on present-day 14

values The assumptions for the market model are summarized in Table 7 and Table 8 and 15

shall be subject to discussion during the stakeholder meeting 16

224 Summary of the market sales forecast and estimation of the future 1

and past stock 2

As shown in sections 222 and 223 several drivers exist for the application of battery storage 3

systems in stationary and motive applications While the demand for battery capacity 4

generated by BEV and PHEV passenger cars was on the level of several GWh for 2017 the 5

ESS markets might still be below the 1 GWh mark in the EU 6

With respect to the increase of average battery capacity installed in different applications (see 7

Figure 22) and the growth rates for the sales of xEV and ESS (see sections 2223 and 8

2232) forecasts for the total new installations (including replacements) of batteries in the 9

EU28 are shown in Figure 23 See annex for further comments 10

11

Figure 22 Average system battery energy (kWh or MWh) forecast 12

It can be expected that the demand generated by sales and replacements in the EU28 will 13

amount to about 20 GWh by 2020 100 GWh by 2025 and more than 400 GWh by 2030 14

23 Market trends 3

231 General objective of subtask 23 and approach 4

The following chapter provides a comprehensive market overview on global battery sales 5

demand and players Starting with the market development of Lithium-ion batteries between 6

2010 to 2017 scenarios until 2025 to 2030 are presented including a meta-analysis of several 7

most recent market reports (eg [18ndash27]) Step by step the regional markets and markets by 8

applications will be specified 9

232 Market drivers and CO2 legislation [28] 10

Climate and energy policies are main drivers for the energy future and are expected to lead to 11

an increasing demand for energy storage in the mid and long term (see Figure 24) According 12

to the European Unionacutes decarbonization objective a reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) 13

emissions to 80 ndash 95 below 1990 levels should be achieved by 2050 14

In particular for the transport sector no full decarbonization is achieved [29] even in the longer 15

term (other sectors have to compensate with higher GHG reductions) The overall reduction 16

achieved in the transport sector by 2050 is only around 60 below 1990 levels The 17

increasing trend in emissions seen over the past 20 years is expected to reverse by the CO2 18

legislation From 2020 on the fleet average to be achieved by all new cars is 95 grams of CO2 19

per kilometer (compared to 130 gkm in 2015) 20

Many other governments world-wide have specified CO2 emission targets and are striving 21

towards a low carbon economy Particularly in the field of passenger and commercial vehicles 22

fuel consumption and emission targets have been installed which significantly drive the 23

introduction of battery or fuel cell powered electric vehicles Among these emission policies 24

the targets set by the EU are among the most ambitious (see Table 11) Meeting them will 25

require a significant share of electric vehicles 26

Table 11 Overview about fuel consumption and CO2-emission targets for passenger vehicles 1

of the EU and other countries leading battery and electric mobility markets [30] 2

In this context electric mobility is gaining importance since electric vehicles especially plug-3

in hybrid and pure battery electric vehicles can help to achieve or fulfill these limits due to 4

improved CO2 footprints compared to conventional cars However for low CO2 footprints over 5

the lifetime of electric cars a high share of ldquolow carbonrdquo renewable energy sources (RES) in 6

the energy mix is needed and important (Figure 24 left side) 7

8

Figure 24 Climate and energy policies as drivers for future energy storage demand [28] 9

The EU Energy Roadmap 2050 [31 32] has shown across six scenarios that the 10

decarbonization goal can be achieved if the share of renewable energy sources (RES) among 11

the power generation capacity is high (gt 60 until 2050) for all scenarios Especially for the 12

high RES scenario the share of fluctuating energy generation (wind photovoltaic ndash PV) is the 13

strongest which has to be balanced Grid expansion andor flexibilization measures (eg 14

demand side management power to gas and vehicle to grid besides stationary battery 15

storage) are potential solutions Thus the high RES scenario is the most interesting scenario 16

with respect to a potential future demand for energy storage solutions (ESS) on local 17

distribution and transmission grid levels (Figure 24 right side) In order to have a significant 18

GHG reduction with EVs it will also be important to achieve the RES targets 19

233 The developing battery market 1

The total annual battery market is currently on the level of 45-60 billion Euro representing 2

approximately 400-500 GWh (including Lead-acid Lithium-Ion and other batteries) [33] 3

Lithium-ion batteries (LIB) have succeeded because of their high gravimetric and volumetric 4

energy densities and have a market share of about a third in terms of value among the whole 5

battery market The growth is driven by the decreasing cell costs of less than 170 eurokWh for a 6

standard cylindrical cell (lowest prices) approaching the 90 eurokWh mark in the next years This 7

cost degression is due to increasing capacity demand and production and thus due to scale 8

effects 9

Although the LIB market is drastically growing with annual growth rates of up to 30 percent 10

on average (in terms of battery capacity demand) the dominating battery technology in terms 11

of capacity however are still lead-acid batteries representing about 90 percent of the global 12

demand in volume around 2010 and 80 percent in 2017 13

14

15

Figure 25 Historical development of the global battery demand in GWh (left axis for NiCd 16

NiMH right axis for all other battery types grey total battery demand) [34] 17

Other mature battery technologies like NiCd (still partly used in power tools) and NiMH (still 18

used in hybrid electric vehicles HEV) are slowly declining and are expected to disappear from 19

the market in the next decade The diversification of future battery applications however will 20

also broaden the range of battery technologies Emerging technologies like Na-based Metal-21

Sulfur or Redox Flow batteries are developing and may lead to attractive solutions eg with 22

respect to cost and resource availability advantages However due to very strict requirements 23

on volumetric energy densities these technologies are expected to be relevant for stationary 24

or other special markets and less for the most significant electric vehicle market In general 25

each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses and none of them can satisfy all user 26

demands Hence a broader application-specific technology portfolio is urgently needed in 27

order to provide alternative technology solutions in the future 28

The extremely dynamic development of the global LIB demand will lead to the TWh level latest 29

around 2030 and grow further after 2030 Thus LIB will very soon transform into the 30

dominating energy storage technology 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

34

Figure 26 shows three different scenarios for the global demand for LIB between 2010 and 1

2030 (green curves) along with global production capacities (orange and blue curve)[33] 2

While at the beginning of the decade the demand and sales numbers followed the medium 3

growth rate trend scenario the market has been approaching the high growth rate scenario in 4

the last years This is mainly due to the strong engagement of politics and respective 5

regulation and subsidy programs for electric mobility As can be seen from the graph the 6

share of demand generated by motive applications is expected to significantly grow in the next 7

years and might account for more than one third of the total LIB demand by 2025 8

To face this increasing demand for LIB cells accordingly production capacities need to be 9

build up in the near future Based on the currently existing cell production capacities and the 10

global announcements from established and new cell producers until 2025 the LIB cell 11

production capacities (blue line in 12

Figure 26) have been identified Compared to 15 GWh added production capacity between 13

2013 and 2016 in the next years around 50 GWh will be added annually leading to around 14

700 GWh production capacities until 2025 (in the optimistic case see blue line in 15

Figure 26) The announcements include established players such as Panasonic (JP) LG 16

Chem (KR) Samsung (KR) SKI (KR) BYD (CN) Lishen (CN) CATL (CN) CALB (CN) 17

OPTIMUM (CN) and several further Chinese cell producers Also new players such as TerraE 18

(DE) Northvolt (SW) Boston Energy (US AU) Energy Absolute (Thailand) are included 19

while accounting for the different stages of expansion [20 27] 20

234 Battery markets by application 23

Diversification of applications for batteries 24

The above described global developments of battery demand and production strongly concern 25

high-energy lithium-ion batteries with the cell chemistries NMC NCA (Ni-rich and Co-reduced 26

cathodes) and SiC (high capacity SiC anodes with 5-10 or higher Si content) and cell 27

formats cylindrical (eg larger 21700 compared to standard 18650) large pouch or prismatic 28

cells The target is to develop and produce cells with improved gravimetric and volumetric 29

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

35

energy densities and reduced costs in order to meet the requirements of the automotive 1

industry Electric passenger cars are driving the demand and thus development of the battery 2

technology and these optimized and cost reduced batteries define the benchmark today and 3

in the future 4

LIB demand by applications 5

In Figure 27 the global LIB demand is broken down to the three main sectors for battery 6

demand which can be characterised each having different profiles of requirement 7

bull electric mobility or electric vehicles (EV including eg passenger cars light 8

commercial vehicles buses trucks scooters ebikes etc) 9

bull stationary energy storage systems (ESS) and 10

bull portable devices (3C ndash Computer Communication Consumer) 11

The LIB cell demand developed to almost 25 GWh in 2010 since the market introduction in 12

the early 1990s and dominantly resulted from portable devices In 2015 the cell demand of 13

about 70 GWh was distributed already almost 5050 between 3C and EV applications 14

15

Figure 27 Global LIB demand (in GWh and share in ) by segment [34] 16

Since 2015 the global LIB demand has increased with compound annual growth rates 17

(CAGR) of ~25 from about 70 GWh to about 110 GWh in 2017 The market for electric 18

vehicles currently grows with 30-40 (and more depending on the application and region) and 19

a diversification in applications (eg buses trucks other light to heavy commercial vehicles 20

marine applications drones etc) can be observed 21

With the diversification of future markets and applications cost sensitive markets will arise for 22

which optimized high-energy and cost reduced automotive cells of certain cell formats will be 23

used However also applications with stronger requirements on long lifetime high cycleability 24

fast charging capability safety etc will emerge and diffuse where cost is not the most 25

relevant factor and other battery technologies (ie cell chemistries formats) can provide a 26

unique selling proposition and hence lead to a product differentiation 27

2341 LIB markets for 3C applications 28

Portable devices (3C) have been the main applications for LIB cells in the past Power tools 29

medical devices and wearables are expected to be products with an emerging future market 30

for small LIB cells but with enormous quantities The price per kWh that can be stored plays a 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

36

less important role for these applications As far as charging is concerned technologies such 1

as energy harvesting and wireless charging are expected to be introduced in the future For 2

many markets and products such as household devices garden cleaning power tools other 3

mobile leisure applications etc today mostly cylindrical LIB cells of the format 18650 are used 4

With the introduction of 21700 cells also larger cylindrical cells become available now and are 5

expected to be used in diffuse in such applications Although different specific cell chemistries 6

might be suitable depending on the concrete application again it can be stated that the 3C 7

segment is expected to lead to a comparably small battery capacity demand compared to the 8

EV segment and will not be the limiting segment with respect to the risk of resource 9

dependencies 10

In the next few years growth rates of about 5 to 10 percent are expected for the 3C markets 11

while laptop battery demand is developing at lower growth rates and power tools medical 12

devices etc are supporting the growth rates for the battery demand 13

14

15

Figure 28 Demand and growth of the 3C LIB market [34] 16

2342 LIB markets for stationary (ESS) applications 17

Stationary energy storage systems (ESS) can be divided into different size classes with regard 18

to the capacity and charging times Both together decide on the application area (eg small 19

PV storage at home peak load to long-term storage) [35] Beyond that the price per kWh put 20

through over the lifetime is the economic key factor (as synthesized by the LCOE levelized 21

cost of energy) In contrast gravimetric and volumetric energy density plays a subordinate 22

role Due to that lead-acid batteries were often used as storage technology for off- and on-23

grid storage Currently LIBs are being established for commercial use and meanwhile reach 24

an annual demand of some few GWh Other electrochemical storage technologies such as 25

sodium-sulfur batteries are still used but the demand for LIB is strongly increasing for ESS It 26

is expected that 2nd life concepts for batteries that had their first life in electric vehicles will 27

gain importance together with market diffusion in the EV segment as the requirements on the 28

batteries are less demanding in the ESS segment This however will require the development 29

of according business models standardization etc The much broader available technology 30

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

37

portfolio for ESS applications the use of 2nd life batteries and the fact that electric vehicle 1

batteries that are connected to the grid on a large scale with higher market diffusion can be 2

regarded as stationary storage systems as well (vehicle to grid V2G grid to vehicle G2V) help 3

to reduce the risk of technological and resource dependencies in the future 4

The market for stationary storage applications (ESS) is experiencing growth rates of 20 to 30 5

percent depending on individual market forecasts (in the last years CAGR have even been on 6

the level of 60 but decrease with increasing size of the market see Figure 29) 7

The market is currently on a level of few GWh including applications from smaller PV storage 8

systems of 5-10 kWh to larger industrial and grid connected installations for own power 9

consumption peak shaving etc on the MWh level Regarding these growth rates LIB for ESS 10

applications rapidly gain importance as de-central storage solutions compared to the currently 11

dominating central pumped hydro storage (PHS) Forecasts to 2025 differ by size and expect 12

an ESS LIB demand between 20-50 GWh (partially higher eg in [23]) but all forecasts identify 13

high growth rates 14

15

Figure 29 Demand and growth of the ESS LIB market [34] 16

17

2343 LIB markets for electric vehicle applications 18

One of the biggest challenges for batteries for electric vehicles (EV including electric cars 19

buses trucks etc) apart from their price is the increase of their volumetric and gravimetric 20

energy density The volumetric energy density is even more important for OEM due to 21

restricted and fixed space and location of the battery in an electric vehicle A very relevant 22

parameter of a battery is its charging and discharging power in particular in continuous 23

operation It determines the fast-charging capability which is an important argument in the 24

use and the establishment on the market At the same time this sets limits to the high-25

performance operation since energy consumption is reduced to protect the battery from 26

damage This illustrates the conflicting effect of different parameters on the battery lifetime 27

Price volume weight and thus charge density as well as chargedischarge rate in terms of 28

usage and durability are the most urgent challenges for battery manufacturers 29

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

38

The market for EV batteries is currently at the level of about 50 GWh (including electric 1

passenger cars busses trucks ebikes scooter forklifts etc) Growth rates are at 20 to 40 2

percent and the demand for EV batteries will lead to a share of about 66 percent in 2020 76 3

percent until 2025 and 80 percent or higher in the long term Electric passenger cars (BEV 4

and PHEV) define the by far largest market within the EV segment and are clearly driving the 5

technology development of high energy Lithium-Ion or Lithium-based batteries in the future 6

7

Figure 30 Demand and growth of the EV LIB market [34] 8

9

Other motive (or stationary or portable) markets applications besides the highly competitive 10

electric passenger cars therefore can offer interesting growth markets also for smaller cell 11

producers beyond the large Japanese Korean and Chinese cell producers These markets or 12

applications very often define concrete requirements for the battery performance they require 13

an in depth understanding and design from the cell chemistry format to the modulepack and 14

system integration and they still vary strongly by region and are connected to individual system 15

integrators or OEM This is because each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses 16

and none of them can satisfy all userapplication demands Hence a broader application 17

specific technology portfolio is even urgently needed in order to provide alternative individual 18

technology solutions for these emerging marketsapplications 19

20

235 Market channels and production structure 21

2351 Global production capacities and major players 22

Since their commercialization in the 1990s LIB have been predominantly produced by 23

Japanese and Korean companies Driven by the Chinese government particularly cell 24

producers but also companies covering other steps of the LIB value creation chain have been 25

established in China Due to a policy of simultaneous support for LIB production as well as for 26

application markets and due to an extensive subsidy scheme a large share of LIB production 27

capacities is located in China today 28

Figure 31 Figure 32 Figure 33 and Figure 34 show the global LIB production capacities of 29

major cell producers in 2018 as well as forecasts for 2020 2025 and 2030 respectively [36] 30

The data is based on announcements made by the cell producers As discussed in section 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

39

233 the actual time-frame for the implementation of the capacity expansions is often delayed 1

with respect to the original announcements Hence minimum and maximum values for the 2

production capacities are given 3

Figure 34 Global LIB production capacities of major cell producers in 2030 [36] 2

Until 2030 the announced production capacities add up to more than 1 TWh In total there 3

are about 30 cell producers which have announced to build up production capacities of more 4

than 10 GWhyear which can be considered to be a threshold in order to be able to produce 5

at competitve costs [36] If the announced capacities are fully utilized the ldquobig 4rdquo (Panasonic 6

CATL LGC and BYD) will be able to fully cover the market demand (gt550 GWh) until 2025 7

2352 Europes position in the global battery value chain 8

In the EU several actors are positioned which cover production steps along the whole value 9

chain of LIBs starting from raw material production to production of cells and systems and 10

finally recycling However with respect to global markets only few organizations within the EU 11

have a market share of more than 1 in their specific segment eg BASF Germany in the 12

field of electrolyte production [30] 13

An overview about existing and active companies is given by the European Battery Alliance 14

(see Figure 35) Due to the presence of strong automotive OEM LIB pack manufacturing and 15

system integration is taking place on large scale in Europe A particular gap in the value chain 16

is present due to the lack of a large-scale cell production capable of serving the volumes and 17

prices required by the automotive industry 18

Several consortia are currently attempting to build up a European large scale cell 4

manufacturing such as Nothvolt (Sweden) with 32 GWh until 2023 or Saft (together with 5

Siemens and Manz) [39] Recently the German government announced plans for funding of 6

a Batterie-Cell-Alliance between Germany and Poland with cell production capacities in the 7

Regions Lausitz (Germany) and Westpoland [40 41] At the cross section between RampD and 8

large-scale production also a Research Production with 600 Mio EUR funding is foreseen 9

whereas the Fraunhofer Society should coordinate and run such a research production [42] 10

The announced funding from the German government sums up to 2 bn EUR 11

Given all these announced investments and production capacities to build up in the next years 12

the cell production capacities of European cell manufacturers could sum up to over 40 GWh 13

beyond 2025 In contrast main Asian cell manufacturer have already started with cell 14

production (eg LG SDI) or plan to build up production capacities until 2020 to 2025 In 15

concrete there are plans from [43ndash51] 16

17

bull CATL (China) to build 14 GWh in Germany Erfurt beyond 2020 18

bull LG Chem (Japan) to build 15 to 24 GWh (for 03 Mio EVs) in Poland beyond 2020 19

bull Samsung SDI (Japan) to build 10 to 15 GWh beyond 2020 in Hungary (including a 20

recent 5 GWh announcement for 21700 cells for Land Rover 21

bull SK Innovation (Japan) to build 75 GWh in Hungary beyond 2020 22

bull PanasonicTesla to build a (assumed 35GWh) Gigafactory in Europa around 2025 23

bull as well as from BYD (China) GS Yuasa (Japan) and Farasis (US) to build production 24

capacities between 2020 and 2025 25

26

The production capacities from Asian (or non-European) cell manufacturer might sum up to 27

well above 82-96 GWh by 2025 and including BYD GS Yuasa Farasis etc capacities far 28

above 100 GWh can be expected Together with the new EU cell producers this could easily 29

sum up towards the above mentioned 200 GWh demand in Europe But it also clearly indicates 30

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

44

the competition the emerging European players have to face (besides the fact that the plans 1

of the Asian companies are expected to be realized already several years earlier as those of 2

the novel EU companies) 3

2353 Product design trends and technological roadmap 4

Concerning the battery technology or type (by chemistry format etc) which will most likely 5

be produced to address this increasing demand the global roadmaps of cell producers are 6

basically similar Based on state-of-the art cell design (eg LFP NCA based ldquogeneration 1rdquo 7

and NMC111 to NMC532 ldquogeneration 2abrdquo Li-ion batteries) [52] and state-of-the-art 8

production equipment incremental improvements are expected in the next few years but with 9

the target to get to higher-energy lithium-ion batteries Concerning the electrolytes still liquid 10

electrolytes will be used but adopted to the changing electrode materials (eg with additives) 11

Current trends for layered oxide cathodes describe the development of Ni-rich (Co reduced) 12

materials (NMC) A few cell producers are already using NMC811 or comparable cathode 13

materials others are still adopting NMC622 (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3ardquo) On cathode 14

side maybe even lower-cost Mn-rich High Energy NMCs (HE-NMC) might be realized and 15

produced within ~10 years as Mn is cheaper than Ni (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3brdquo) On 16

anode side the trend is to incorporate Si-nano particles to make use of the alloying reaction 17

between Si and Li yielding a high capacitance This however comes at the cost of cycle life 18

Further down the road we might see higher Si contents (~20) 19

20

All-solid-state batteries are on the roadmap of many battery producers but also OEM (also 21

referred to as ldquogeneration 4rdquo) The key performance parameters (KPI) are suitable for electric 22

mobility (EV) Main challenges are indeed manufacturability particularly for ceramic solid state 23

electrolytes which promise to yield the highest advantages over state of the art technologies 24

The market introduction in niche applications is expected possible prior to the use in 25

automotive applications First all-solid-state batteries might not be competitive in terms of 26

energy density but safety properties Later on energy densities of 350-400 Whkg and higher 27

are expected 28

fundamental challenges are not solved yet (eg concerning the stability of materials and 9

24 Consumer expenditure base data 2

241 General objective of subtask 24 and approach 3

Subtask 24 gives an overview about average production costs and consumer prices incl 4

VAT (for consumer prices streetprice) excl VAT (for B2B products) as well as an estimation 5

of repair and maintenance as well as installation and disposal costs 6

Due to their recent larger scale market introduction there is still little experience with 7

maintenance as well as disposal expenses Hence only estimations can be made based on 8

isolated sources 9

242 Development of LIB cell costs 10

As the core of LIB based energy storage systems the battery cell exhibits the highest cost 11

share During the last years particularly standardized 18650 format LIB cells have 12

experienced a steep cost learning curve benefiting from production scale effects but also 13

from technological advancements on material level increasing the energy density per volume 14

and weight and decreasing the amount of cost intense Cobalt-based components Compared 15

to this benchmark larger format LIB cells (Pouch prismatic) as are utilized in xEVs and ESS 16

predominantly feature lower energy densities at higher cost per kWh There are however no 17

principal limitations which would prevent a performance and cost development similar to what 18

was observed for cylindrical cells Figure 39 shows the cost learning curves for cylindrical as 19

well as larger format LIB cells [33] Today average costs for cells suitable for automotive use 20

are below 150 eurokWh (cylindrical) and around 200 eurokWh (Pouchprismatic) In specific cases 21

prices around 100 eurokWh have been reported already [53] It should however be noted that 22

with the current market situation LIB prices being below costs are not unlikely to occur 23

Until 2025 production costs of the different cell formats are expected to approach and fall 24

below the mark of 100 eurokWh between 2020 and 2025 Taking further developments on 25

material level into account costs around 60-100 eurokWh seam feasible past 2025 26

Figure 39 Cost learning curves for large LIB cells (cylindrical and Pouchprismatic) [33] 3

Similar cost learning curves have been observed for other battery technologies (see Figure 4

40) In principal cost degression can be limited by demand (compare NiCd) or by reaching 5

material cost limits (compare Pb) Also the diffusion of battery technologies in new markets 6

or applications can lead to further technological improvements and justify higher production 7

costs (compare deviation of NiMH Pb) Following the available data for LIB cells approx 100 8

$kWh (~89 eurokWh) are reached at a cumulative yearly production of 1TWh This mark is 9

expected to be reached between 2020 and 2030 10

Beyond 2030 LIB production costs are however expected to start deviating from this curve 11

due to limiting raw material prices 12

2432 ESS 7

According to recent end-customer price data provided in [55] for 2018 typical consumer prices 8

for small scale (~10 kWh) stationary home storage systems are between 5000 and 15000 9

Euros leading to a relative price of 800 to 1200 eurokWh It is expected that these system prices 10

will benefit from the growing battery markets (also xEV) since similar LIB cell types can be 11

applied in both application areas With respect to inverters and other system related costs the 12

smaller market volume of home ESS indicates lower economy of scale effects as compared 13

to cells 14

So far no comprehensive information on repair and maintenance costs for the battery system 17

2451 Second life and recycling considerations 6

Until today only pilot projects Strategy of automotive OEM regarding second life applications 7

is not known 8

Value of recycled materials can be estimated 9

Three main scenarios possible after end of 1st life (xEV) 10

1 Disposal of batteries (eg separation of liquid and solid components hazardous waste 11

disposal) 12

2 Recycling of batteries and direct regeneration and re-use of cathode materials (2a) or 13

recovery of metals (2b) 14

3 2nd life in ESS applications under limited load (low DOD cycling low power) 15

16

Scenario 1 will add another component to battery costs scenario 2 and 3 could significantly 17

decrease the cost of batteries if energy efficient recycling methods can be developed or viable 18

2nd life business models are established 19

Vehicle markets (in units of registrations in the EU28 per year) and ESS markets (in units of 3

number of installed home PV systems or in units of overall renewable (PV wind) electricity 4

generation in the EU28 per year) were modelled by exponential functions 5

119872119905119886119901119901(119905) = 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 6

With Mtapp(t) being the total market volume of an application M0 the market size in 2015 and 7

120591 times 119871119899(2) the time t necessary to double the initial market volume M0 M0 and Tau were chosen 8

to fit existing market data 9

119872119886119901119901(119905) = 119888 times 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 10

With Mapp(t) being the addressable market and c a factor equal or smaller than 1 Parameter 11

c lt 1 was chosen to take into account that not the whole existing market Mtapp might be 12

addressable by electric technologies Eg a share of vehicles primarily used for long distance 13

travel might not be addressable by BEV but by PHEV only 14

The market addressable for passenger PHEV (as a transition technology on the path to full 15

electric vehicles) was modelled as the difference of total vehicle sales and BEV sales 16

119872119875119867119864119881(119905) = 119888 times 119872119905119901119886119904119904119890119899119892119890119903(119905) minus 119878119861119864119881(119905) 17

The market addressable for passenger BEV was modelled like Mapp(t) with c lt 1 18

2612 Modelling of sales numbers of xEV and ESS 19

Yearly sales numbers Sapp(t) for the different applications were modelled by logistic growth 20

functions Logistic functions can model diffusion of technologies into existing markets with a 21

given market volume M The market volume can be a moving target M = M(t) The relative 22

change of sales numbers Srsquoapp(t)Sapp(t) is proportional to the market volume not yet 23

developed by a technology Mapp(t) ndash Sapp(t) 24

119878119886119901119901(119905) = 119872119886119901119901(119905) times1

1 + 119864119909119901(minus119872119886119901119901(119905) times (119905 minus 1199050)120591)(119872119886119901119901(119905)

119878119886119901119901(1199050)minus 1)

25

With Tau being a time constant and Sapp(t0) being the yearly sales number at year t0 (eg 26

2015) 27

Short time constants Tau of few years were used to model ESS sales Due to limitations of 28

the existing electricity grid to only buffer a certain share of fluctuating PV and wind generated 29

electricity the further expansion of renewable electricity generation might be strongly coupled 30

to ESS installations Hence ESS sales were modelled to closely follow the assumed 31

installations of renewable power in the limit of ldquovery fastrdquo market diffusion (120591 rarr 0) 32

2613 Modelling of battery system capacities 33

Battery capacities EBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws In 34

particular BEV battery capacities increased in the last years from 30 kWh in 2013 to more than 35

40 kWh in 2018 (EU sales and production averages) In the long term we expect BEV 36

capacities to converge towards a value sufficient to provide average driving ranges of some 37

100 km Battery capacity growth rates are hence supposed to slow down 38

119864119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198640 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 1

With E0 being the average battery capacity in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years and 2

b an exponent lt 1 The parameters were chosen to fit existing data 3

2614 Modelling of battery replacement rates 4

Battery replacement rates RrBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws 5

The replacement rate defines the share of batteries installed in year t that had to be replaced 6

within the lifetime of a system (xEV ESS) In particular for vehicles it is assumed that xEV 7

manufacturers currently install battery cells with a high lifetime and cyclability (several 8

thousand cycles) In the mid-term we expect that battery life and vehicle life (eg 200000 to 9

300000 km) will be matched by car manufacturers Assuming a constant vehicle lifetime 10

battery replacement rates are supposed to increase over time 11

119877119903119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198770 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 12

With R0 being the average replacement rate in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years 13

and b an exponent lt 1 At present there is no data available to fit the parameters Parameters 14

were estimated based on the usage profile and load of different applications 15

2615 Modelling of system lifetimes (xEV ESS) 16

System lifetimes Ltsystem(t) were assumed to be constant Ltsystem(t)= Ltsystem Parameters were 17

estimated based on manufacturer statements and typical lifetimes for combustion powered 18

vehicles 19

2616 Calculation of battery replacements 20

Battery replacements RpBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 21

calculated by assuming a uniform distribution of battery replacements over the lifetime 22

Ltsystem(i) of battery systems installed in year i 23

119877119901119861119886119905119905(119905) = sum119877119903119861119886119905119905(119894) times 119878119886119901119901(119894) times 119864119861119886119905119905(119894)

24

2617 Calculation of battery decommissions 25

Battery decommissions DcBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 26

assumed to happen coincident with the end of life of the systems (Ltsystem) they were installed 27

in in year i This neglects any second life usage in t gt i It was assumed that xEV or ESS 28

manufacturers will tune the battery lifetime to match the system lifetime (see 2614) 29

2618 Calculation of yearly installed battery capacity 31

The yearly installed battery capacity Sbapp(t) in the EU28 was calculated as 32

119878119887119886119901119901(119905) = 119878119886119901119901(119905) times 119864119886119901119901119861119886119905119905(119905) + 119877119901119886119901119901

223 Market stock and forecast for ESS in Europe 3

As discussed in Task 1 several stationary applications for batteries exist ranging from grid 4

support to home storage As will be shown in section 23 the demand for battery capacity 5

generated by ESS applications at present is rather small as compared to 3C and motive 6

markets There is no systematic registration of large scale or small scale stationary storage 7

systems in the EU Hence the market stock and volume for respective applications can only 8

be estimated based on indirect data 9

2231 Photovoltaic installations in the EU 10

Energy storage systems in combination with photovoltaic installations are one major 11

application for batteries both for private as well as commercial purposes Due to changes in 12

reimbursement and subsidy policy as well as the physical capability of the energy system to 13

buffer and process high shares of renewable energy the use of local energy storage systems 14

is becoming more and more popular There is no data on the share of PV installations 15

equipped with an energy storage system for the EU However on regional level some data is 16

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

20

available According to [10] approximately half of the PV systems with a peak power below 1

30 kW installed in Germany in 2017 have been equipped with an energy storage option 2

(amounting to about 30000 storage systems with a cumulative capacity of 400 MWh) 3

At present the installation of storage systems is strongly coupled to new installations of PV 4

systems As shown in Figure 16 with data on Germany the retrofit of existing PV installations 5

with storage systems is however expected to contribute significantly to the demand for battery 6

capacity in the PV segment in the future Within the forecast shown 50 of the sold storage 7

systems might be integrated into already existing PV-systems in 2030 8

9

Figure 16 PV installations and retrofit of existing PV installations in Germany Data and image 10

taken from [11] 11

Figure 17 shows the yearly installed PV power (MW) in the EU28 [12] A boom of PV 12

installations can clearly be observed for the years 2010 to 2012 mainly driven by installations 13

in Germany and Italy Likely as a result of changing subsidy policies the yearly installed PV 14

power has since then steadily decreased in both countries On the other hand a steady 15

increase in installations can be observed for the Netherlands and the UK In the forecast model 16

applied in [12] a slight increase in new installations is expected until 2021 driven by 17

installations in the UK and Portugal as well as member countries which so far do not have 18

any considerable PV installations Due to decreasing costs for solar panels and rather stable 19

remuneration rates this upward trend seems to be justified 20

Figure 17 PV installations in EU28 countries and forecast until 2020 Data taken from [12] 2

Based on the data given in [10] for Germany 80 of the installed PV systems can be attributed 3

to small or medium sized installations (average of 10 kWp) directly feeding into the low-voltage 4

grid In terms of power these systems amount to about 30 of the installations If equipped 5

with an energy storage system the average battery capacity amounts to 8 to 10 kWh [13] 6

Concerning installations in Europe it can be argued that there is a trend towards smaller roof-7

top systems for more densely populated and less sunny regions while in particular in the 8

southern European countries larger solar parks are favored Since no comprehensive data 9

covering the whole EU is available only a rough estimation for the demand of battery storage 10

systems and capacity can be made 11

Assuming that the number of smaller roof-top installations (30 of power) as well as the 12

number of systems equipped with an ESS (50 of installations lt 30 kWp) is above average 13

for Germany as compared to the rest of the EU the market data and forecasts given in [12] 14

and [11] would lead to a demand for battery capacity as summarized in Table 5 15

Note that this estimation does not take into account ESS installations for larger scale (gt30 3

kWp) PV-installations 4

2232 Wind Turbine installations in the EU 5

Similar to section 2231 for PV installations Figure 18 shows data and forecasts for wind 6

turbine power installations in the EU28 [12] In contrast to PV installations wind turbine power 7

is almost exclusively attributed to larger scale wind parks We conclude that the use of small 8

scale ESS for the optimization of private energy consumption is therefore not driven by wind 9

power installations 10

Still the ongoing installation of wind turbine power in the EU28 might become a driver for large 11

scale decentralized energy storage systems however there is no market data available which 12

would allow for a battery demand forecast 13

Note that most of these installations are prototype or test facilities which does not allow to 8

use this application share as template for future market developments The total installed 9

capacity of 340 MWh in 2017 suggests that the market volume of large scale ESS is of the 10

same order of magnitude as that of home storage Note that the installed capacity for 2017 in 11

[14] is only 65 MWh It is however not stated in [12] whether the listed ESS projects are still in 12

2234 Forecast ESS sales and stock EU28 2

The data presented in sections 2231 2232 and 2233 was used as an input for a forecast 3

model on large scale and home ESS 4

EU wide sales numbers and growth rates for PV coupled home storage systems were 5

extrapolated with declining growth rates for 2035 and beyond With respect to large scale ESS 6

it was assumed that the generation of electricity by renewable sources exceeding 17 (2015 7

value [15]) of the total electricity generation necessitates a certain amount of ESS buffer 8

capacity EU 2020 and 2030 targets [16 17] for the share of renewable electricity generation 9

were used as a forecast model The buffer capacity demand was estimated to be 70 of the 10

daily electrical energy generated by renewables exceeding the share of 17 11

A lifetime of 20 years with a replacement rate of 10 was assumed for home ESS and a 12

lifetime of 20 years with a battery replacement rate of 80 within this lifetime was assumed 13

for large scale ESS System capacities were modelled by a power law based on present-day 14

values The assumptions for the market model are summarized in Table 7 and Table 8 and 15

shall be subject to discussion during the stakeholder meeting 16

224 Summary of the market sales forecast and estimation of the future 1

and past stock 2

As shown in sections 222 and 223 several drivers exist for the application of battery storage 3

systems in stationary and motive applications While the demand for battery capacity 4

generated by BEV and PHEV passenger cars was on the level of several GWh for 2017 the 5

ESS markets might still be below the 1 GWh mark in the EU 6

With respect to the increase of average battery capacity installed in different applications (see 7

Figure 22) and the growth rates for the sales of xEV and ESS (see sections 2223 and 8

2232) forecasts for the total new installations (including replacements) of batteries in the 9

EU28 are shown in Figure 23 See annex for further comments 10

11

Figure 22 Average system battery energy (kWh or MWh) forecast 12

23 Market trends 3

231 General objective of subtask 23 and approach 4

The following chapter provides a comprehensive market overview on global battery sales 5

demand and players Starting with the market development of Lithium-ion batteries between 6

2010 to 2017 scenarios until 2025 to 2030 are presented including a meta-analysis of several 7

most recent market reports (eg [18ndash27]) Step by step the regional markets and markets by 8

applications will be specified 9

232 Market drivers and CO2 legislation [28] 10

Climate and energy policies are main drivers for the energy future and are expected to lead to 11

an increasing demand for energy storage in the mid and long term (see Figure 24) According 12

to the European Unionacutes decarbonization objective a reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) 13

emissions to 80 ndash 95 below 1990 levels should be achieved by 2050 14

In particular for the transport sector no full decarbonization is achieved [29] even in the longer 15

term (other sectors have to compensate with higher GHG reductions) The overall reduction 16

achieved in the transport sector by 2050 is only around 60 below 1990 levels The 17

increasing trend in emissions seen over the past 20 years is expected to reverse by the CO2 18

legislation From 2020 on the fleet average to be achieved by all new cars is 95 grams of CO2 19

per kilometer (compared to 130 gkm in 2015) 20

Many other governments world-wide have specified CO2 emission targets and are striving 21

towards a low carbon economy Particularly in the field of passenger and commercial vehicles 22

fuel consumption and emission targets have been installed which significantly drive the 23

introduction of battery or fuel cell powered electric vehicles Among these emission policies 24

the targets set by the EU are among the most ambitious (see Table 11) Meeting them will 25

require a significant share of electric vehicles 26

Table 11 Overview about fuel consumption and CO2-emission targets for passenger vehicles 1

of the EU and other countries leading battery and electric mobility markets [30] 2

In this context electric mobility is gaining importance since electric vehicles especially plug-3

in hybrid and pure battery electric vehicles can help to achieve or fulfill these limits due to 4

improved CO2 footprints compared to conventional cars However for low CO2 footprints over 5

the lifetime of electric cars a high share of ldquolow carbonrdquo renewable energy sources (RES) in 6

the energy mix is needed and important (Figure 24 left side) 7

8

Figure 24 Climate and energy policies as drivers for future energy storage demand [28] 9

The EU Energy Roadmap 2050 [31 32] has shown across six scenarios that the 10

decarbonization goal can be achieved if the share of renewable energy sources (RES) among 11

the power generation capacity is high (gt 60 until 2050) for all scenarios Especially for the 12

high RES scenario the share of fluctuating energy generation (wind photovoltaic ndash PV) is the 13

strongest which has to be balanced Grid expansion andor flexibilization measures (eg 14

demand side management power to gas and vehicle to grid besides stationary battery 15

storage) are potential solutions Thus the high RES scenario is the most interesting scenario 16

with respect to a potential future demand for energy storage solutions (ESS) on local 17

distribution and transmission grid levels (Figure 24 right side) In order to have a significant 18

GHG reduction with EVs it will also be important to achieve the RES targets 19

233 The developing battery market 1

The total annual battery market is currently on the level of 45-60 billion Euro representing 2

approximately 400-500 GWh (including Lead-acid Lithium-Ion and other batteries) [33] 3

Lithium-ion batteries (LIB) have succeeded because of their high gravimetric and volumetric 4

energy densities and have a market share of about a third in terms of value among the whole 5

battery market The growth is driven by the decreasing cell costs of less than 170 eurokWh for a 6

standard cylindrical cell (lowest prices) approaching the 90 eurokWh mark in the next years This 7

cost degression is due to increasing capacity demand and production and thus due to scale 8

effects 9

Although the LIB market is drastically growing with annual growth rates of up to 30 percent 10

on average (in terms of battery capacity demand) the dominating battery technology in terms 11

of capacity however are still lead-acid batteries representing about 90 percent of the global 12

demand in volume around 2010 and 80 percent in 2017 13

14

15

Figure 25 Historical development of the global battery demand in GWh (left axis for NiCd 16

NiMH right axis for all other battery types grey total battery demand) [34] 17

Other mature battery technologies like NiCd (still partly used in power tools) and NiMH (still 18

used in hybrid electric vehicles HEV) are slowly declining and are expected to disappear from 19

the market in the next decade The diversification of future battery applications however will 20

also broaden the range of battery technologies Emerging technologies like Na-based Metal-21

Sulfur or Redox Flow batteries are developing and may lead to attractive solutions eg with 22

respect to cost and resource availability advantages However due to very strict requirements 23

on volumetric energy densities these technologies are expected to be relevant for stationary 24

or other special markets and less for the most significant electric vehicle market In general 25

each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses and none of them can satisfy all user 26

demands Hence a broader application-specific technology portfolio is urgently needed in 27

order to provide alternative technology solutions in the future 28

The extremely dynamic development of the global LIB demand will lead to the TWh level latest 29

around 2030 and grow further after 2030 Thus LIB will very soon transform into the 30

dominating energy storage technology 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

34

Figure 26 shows three different scenarios for the global demand for LIB between 2010 and 1

2030 (green curves) along with global production capacities (orange and blue curve)[33] 2

While at the beginning of the decade the demand and sales numbers followed the medium 3

growth rate trend scenario the market has been approaching the high growth rate scenario in 4

the last years This is mainly due to the strong engagement of politics and respective 5

regulation and subsidy programs for electric mobility As can be seen from the graph the 6

share of demand generated by motive applications is expected to significantly grow in the next 7

years and might account for more than one third of the total LIB demand by 2025 8

To face this increasing demand for LIB cells accordingly production capacities need to be 9

build up in the near future Based on the currently existing cell production capacities and the 10

global announcements from established and new cell producers until 2025 the LIB cell 11

production capacities (blue line in 12

Figure 26) have been identified Compared to 15 GWh added production capacity between 13

2013 and 2016 in the next years around 50 GWh will be added annually leading to around 14

700 GWh production capacities until 2025 (in the optimistic case see blue line in 15

Figure 26) The announcements include established players such as Panasonic (JP) LG 16

Chem (KR) Samsung (KR) SKI (KR) BYD (CN) Lishen (CN) CATL (CN) CALB (CN) 17

OPTIMUM (CN) and several further Chinese cell producers Also new players such as TerraE 18

(DE) Northvolt (SW) Boston Energy (US AU) Energy Absolute (Thailand) are included 19

while accounting for the different stages of expansion [20 27] 20

234 Battery markets by application 23

Diversification of applications for batteries 24

The above described global developments of battery demand and production strongly concern 25

high-energy lithium-ion batteries with the cell chemistries NMC NCA (Ni-rich and Co-reduced 26

cathodes) and SiC (high capacity SiC anodes with 5-10 or higher Si content) and cell 27

formats cylindrical (eg larger 21700 compared to standard 18650) large pouch or prismatic 28

cells The target is to develop and produce cells with improved gravimetric and volumetric 29

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

35

energy densities and reduced costs in order to meet the requirements of the automotive 1

industry Electric passenger cars are driving the demand and thus development of the battery 2

technology and these optimized and cost reduced batteries define the benchmark today and 3

in the future 4

LIB demand by applications 5

In Figure 27 the global LIB demand is broken down to the three main sectors for battery 6

demand which can be characterised each having different profiles of requirement 7

bull electric mobility or electric vehicles (EV including eg passenger cars light 8

commercial vehicles buses trucks scooters ebikes etc) 9

bull stationary energy storage systems (ESS) and 10

bull portable devices (3C ndash Computer Communication Consumer) 11

The LIB cell demand developed to almost 25 GWh in 2010 since the market introduction in 12

the early 1990s and dominantly resulted from portable devices In 2015 the cell demand of 13

about 70 GWh was distributed already almost 5050 between 3C and EV applications 14

15

Figure 27 Global LIB demand (in GWh and share in ) by segment [34] 16

Since 2015 the global LIB demand has increased with compound annual growth rates 17

(CAGR) of ~25 from about 70 GWh to about 110 GWh in 2017 The market for electric 18

vehicles currently grows with 30-40 (and more depending on the application and region) and 19

a diversification in applications (eg buses trucks other light to heavy commercial vehicles 20

marine applications drones etc) can be observed 21

With the diversification of future markets and applications cost sensitive markets will arise for 22

which optimized high-energy and cost reduced automotive cells of certain cell formats will be 23

used However also applications with stronger requirements on long lifetime high cycleability 24

fast charging capability safety etc will emerge and diffuse where cost is not the most 25

relevant factor and other battery technologies (ie cell chemistries formats) can provide a 26

unique selling proposition and hence lead to a product differentiation 27

2341 LIB markets for 3C applications 28

Portable devices (3C) have been the main applications for LIB cells in the past Power tools 29

medical devices and wearables are expected to be products with an emerging future market 30

for small LIB cells but with enormous quantities The price per kWh that can be stored plays a 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

36

less important role for these applications As far as charging is concerned technologies such 1

as energy harvesting and wireless charging are expected to be introduced in the future For 2

many markets and products such as household devices garden cleaning power tools other 3

mobile leisure applications etc today mostly cylindrical LIB cells of the format 18650 are used 4

With the introduction of 21700 cells also larger cylindrical cells become available now and are 5

expected to be used in diffuse in such applications Although different specific cell chemistries 6

might be suitable depending on the concrete application again it can be stated that the 3C 7

segment is expected to lead to a comparably small battery capacity demand compared to the 8

EV segment and will not be the limiting segment with respect to the risk of resource 9

dependencies 10

In the next few years growth rates of about 5 to 10 percent are expected for the 3C markets 11

while laptop battery demand is developing at lower growth rates and power tools medical 12

devices etc are supporting the growth rates for the battery demand 13

14

15

Figure 28 Demand and growth of the 3C LIB market [34] 16

2342 LIB markets for stationary (ESS) applications 17

Stationary energy storage systems (ESS) can be divided into different size classes with regard 18

to the capacity and charging times Both together decide on the application area (eg small 19

PV storage at home peak load to long-term storage) [35] Beyond that the price per kWh put 20

through over the lifetime is the economic key factor (as synthesized by the LCOE levelized 21

cost of energy) In contrast gravimetric and volumetric energy density plays a subordinate 22

role Due to that lead-acid batteries were often used as storage technology for off- and on-23

grid storage Currently LIBs are being established for commercial use and meanwhile reach 24

an annual demand of some few GWh Other electrochemical storage technologies such as 25

sodium-sulfur batteries are still used but the demand for LIB is strongly increasing for ESS It 26

is expected that 2nd life concepts for batteries that had their first life in electric vehicles will 27

gain importance together with market diffusion in the EV segment as the requirements on the 28

batteries are less demanding in the ESS segment This however will require the development 29

of according business models standardization etc The much broader available technology 30

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

37

portfolio for ESS applications the use of 2nd life batteries and the fact that electric vehicle 1

batteries that are connected to the grid on a large scale with higher market diffusion can be 2

regarded as stationary storage systems as well (vehicle to grid V2G grid to vehicle G2V) help 3

to reduce the risk of technological and resource dependencies in the future 4

The market for stationary storage applications (ESS) is experiencing growth rates of 20 to 30 5

percent depending on individual market forecasts (in the last years CAGR have even been on 6

the level of 60 but decrease with increasing size of the market see Figure 29) 7

The market is currently on a level of few GWh including applications from smaller PV storage 8

systems of 5-10 kWh to larger industrial and grid connected installations for own power 9

consumption peak shaving etc on the MWh level Regarding these growth rates LIB for ESS 10

applications rapidly gain importance as de-central storage solutions compared to the currently 11

dominating central pumped hydro storage (PHS) Forecasts to 2025 differ by size and expect 12

an ESS LIB demand between 20-50 GWh (partially higher eg in [23]) but all forecasts identify 13

high growth rates 14

15

Figure 29 Demand and growth of the ESS LIB market [34] 16

17

2343 LIB markets for electric vehicle applications 18

One of the biggest challenges for batteries for electric vehicles (EV including electric cars 19

buses trucks etc) apart from their price is the increase of their volumetric and gravimetric 20

energy density The volumetric energy density is even more important for OEM due to 21

restricted and fixed space and location of the battery in an electric vehicle A very relevant 22

parameter of a battery is its charging and discharging power in particular in continuous 23

operation It determines the fast-charging capability which is an important argument in the 24

use and the establishment on the market At the same time this sets limits to the high-25

performance operation since energy consumption is reduced to protect the battery from 26

damage This illustrates the conflicting effect of different parameters on the battery lifetime 27

Price volume weight and thus charge density as well as chargedischarge rate in terms of 28

usage and durability are the most urgent challenges for battery manufacturers 29

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

38

The market for EV batteries is currently at the level of about 50 GWh (including electric 1

passenger cars busses trucks ebikes scooter forklifts etc) Growth rates are at 20 to 40 2

percent and the demand for EV batteries will lead to a share of about 66 percent in 2020 76 3

percent until 2025 and 80 percent or higher in the long term Electric passenger cars (BEV 4

and PHEV) define the by far largest market within the EV segment and are clearly driving the 5

technology development of high energy Lithium-Ion or Lithium-based batteries in the future 6

7

Figure 30 Demand and growth of the EV LIB market [34] 8

9

Other motive (or stationary or portable) markets applications besides the highly competitive 10

electric passenger cars therefore can offer interesting growth markets also for smaller cell 11

producers beyond the large Japanese Korean and Chinese cell producers These markets or 12

applications very often define concrete requirements for the battery performance they require 13

an in depth understanding and design from the cell chemistry format to the modulepack and 14

system integration and they still vary strongly by region and are connected to individual system 15

integrators or OEM This is because each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses 16

and none of them can satisfy all userapplication demands Hence a broader application 17

specific technology portfolio is even urgently needed in order to provide alternative individual 18

technology solutions for these emerging marketsapplications 19

20

235 Market channels and production structure 21

2351 Global production capacities and major players 22

Since their commercialization in the 1990s LIB have been predominantly produced by 23

Japanese and Korean companies Driven by the Chinese government particularly cell 24

producers but also companies covering other steps of the LIB value creation chain have been 25

established in China Due to a policy of simultaneous support for LIB production as well as for 26

application markets and due to an extensive subsidy scheme a large share of LIB production 27

capacities is located in China today 28

Figure 31 Figure 32 Figure 33 and Figure 34 show the global LIB production capacities of 29

major cell producers in 2018 as well as forecasts for 2020 2025 and 2030 respectively [36] 30

The data is based on announcements made by the cell producers As discussed in section 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

39

233 the actual time-frame for the implementation of the capacity expansions is often delayed 1

with respect to the original announcements Hence minimum and maximum values for the 2

production capacities are given 3

Figure 34 Global LIB production capacities of major cell producers in 2030 [36] 2

Until 2030 the announced production capacities add up to more than 1 TWh In total there 3

are about 30 cell producers which have announced to build up production capacities of more 4

than 10 GWhyear which can be considered to be a threshold in order to be able to produce 5

at competitve costs [36] If the announced capacities are fully utilized the ldquobig 4rdquo (Panasonic 6

CATL LGC and BYD) will be able to fully cover the market demand (gt550 GWh) until 2025 7

2352 Europes position in the global battery value chain 8

In the EU several actors are positioned which cover production steps along the whole value 9

chain of LIBs starting from raw material production to production of cells and systems and 10

finally recycling However with respect to global markets only few organizations within the EU 11

have a market share of more than 1 in their specific segment eg BASF Germany in the 12

field of electrolyte production [30] 13

An overview about existing and active companies is given by the European Battery Alliance 14

(see Figure 35) Due to the presence of strong automotive OEM LIB pack manufacturing and 15

system integration is taking place on large scale in Europe A particular gap in the value chain 16

is present due to the lack of a large-scale cell production capable of serving the volumes and 17

prices required by the automotive industry 18

Several consortia are currently attempting to build up a European large scale cell 4

manufacturing such as Nothvolt (Sweden) with 32 GWh until 2023 or Saft (together with 5

Siemens and Manz) [39] Recently the German government announced plans for funding of 6

a Batterie-Cell-Alliance between Germany and Poland with cell production capacities in the 7

Regions Lausitz (Germany) and Westpoland [40 41] At the cross section between RampD and 8

large-scale production also a Research Production with 600 Mio EUR funding is foreseen 9

whereas the Fraunhofer Society should coordinate and run such a research production [42] 10

The announced funding from the German government sums up to 2 bn EUR 11

Given all these announced investments and production capacities to build up in the next years 12

the cell production capacities of European cell manufacturers could sum up to over 40 GWh 13

beyond 2025 In contrast main Asian cell manufacturer have already started with cell 14

production (eg LG SDI) or plan to build up production capacities until 2020 to 2025 In 15

concrete there are plans from [43ndash51] 16

17

bull CATL (China) to build 14 GWh in Germany Erfurt beyond 2020 18

bull LG Chem (Japan) to build 15 to 24 GWh (for 03 Mio EVs) in Poland beyond 2020 19

bull Samsung SDI (Japan) to build 10 to 15 GWh beyond 2020 in Hungary (including a 20

recent 5 GWh announcement for 21700 cells for Land Rover 21

bull SK Innovation (Japan) to build 75 GWh in Hungary beyond 2020 22

bull PanasonicTesla to build a (assumed 35GWh) Gigafactory in Europa around 2025 23

bull as well as from BYD (China) GS Yuasa (Japan) and Farasis (US) to build production 24

capacities between 2020 and 2025 25

26

The production capacities from Asian (or non-European) cell manufacturer might sum up to 27

well above 82-96 GWh by 2025 and including BYD GS Yuasa Farasis etc capacities far 28

above 100 GWh can be expected Together with the new EU cell producers this could easily 29

sum up towards the above mentioned 200 GWh demand in Europe But it also clearly indicates 30

44

the competition the emerging European players have to face (besides the fact that the plans 1

of the Asian companies are expected to be realized already several years earlier as those of 2

the novel EU companies) 3

2353 Product design trends and technological roadmap 4

Concerning the battery technology or type (by chemistry format etc) which will most likely 5

be produced to address this increasing demand the global roadmaps of cell producers are 6

basically similar Based on state-of-the art cell design (eg LFP NCA based ldquogeneration 1rdquo 7

and NMC111 to NMC532 ldquogeneration 2abrdquo Li-ion batteries) [52] and state-of-the-art 8

production equipment incremental improvements are expected in the next few years but with 9

the target to get to higher-energy lithium-ion batteries Concerning the electrolytes still liquid 10

electrolytes will be used but adopted to the changing electrode materials (eg with additives) 11

Current trends for layered oxide cathodes describe the development of Ni-rich (Co reduced) 12

materials (NMC) A few cell producers are already using NMC811 or comparable cathode 13

materials others are still adopting NMC622 (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3ardquo) On cathode 14

side maybe even lower-cost Mn-rich High Energy NMCs (HE-NMC) might be realized and 15

produced within ~10 years as Mn is cheaper than Ni (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3brdquo) On 16

anode side the trend is to incorporate Si-nano particles to make use of the alloying reaction 17

between Si and Li yielding a high capacitance This however comes at the cost of cycle life 18

Further down the road we might see higher Si contents (~20) 19

20

All-solid-state batteries are on the roadmap of many battery producers but also OEM (also 21

referred to as ldquogeneration 4rdquo) The key performance parameters (KPI) are suitable for electric 22

mobility (EV) Main challenges are indeed manufacturability particularly for ceramic solid state 23

electrolytes which promise to yield the highest advantages over state of the art technologies 24

The market introduction in niche applications is expected possible prior to the use in 25

automotive applications First all-solid-state batteries might not be competitive in terms of 26

energy density but safety properties Later on energy densities of 350-400 Whkg and higher 27

are expected 28

Other technologies (not marked in blue in the above figure) feature certain USPs compared to 4

Li-ion batteries but (according to the current level of knowledge) do not reach the necessary 5

KPIs in terms of energy density power density and cycling stability necessary for electric 6

mobility (these are marked in grey) USPs of these technologies can be cost resource 7

availability either volumetric or gravimetric energy density or others But often even 8

fundamental challenges are not solved yet (eg concerning the stability of materials and 9

electrochemical systems kinetics etc) 10

24 Consumer expenditure base data 2

241 General objective of subtask 24 and approach 3

Subtask 24 gives an overview about average production costs and consumer prices incl 4

VAT (for consumer prices streetprice) excl VAT (for B2B products) as well as an estimation 5

of repair and maintenance as well as installation and disposal costs 6

Due to their recent larger scale market introduction there is still little experience with 7

maintenance as well as disposal expenses Hence only estimations can be made based on 8

isolated sources 9

242 Development of LIB cell costs 10

As the core of LIB based energy storage systems the battery cell exhibits the highest cost 11

share During the last years particularly standardized 18650 format LIB cells have 12

experienced a steep cost learning curve benefiting from production scale effects but also 13

from technological advancements on material level increasing the energy density per volume 14

and weight and decreasing the amount of cost intense Cobalt-based components Compared 15

to this benchmark larger format LIB cells (Pouch prismatic) as are utilized in xEVs and ESS 16

predominantly feature lower energy densities at higher cost per kWh There are however no 17

principal limitations which would prevent a performance and cost development similar to what 18

was observed for cylindrical cells Figure 39 shows the cost learning curves for cylindrical as 19

well as larger format LIB cells [33] Today average costs for cells suitable for automotive use 20

are below 150 eurokWh (cylindrical) and around 200 eurokWh (Pouchprismatic) In specific cases 21

prices around 100 eurokWh have been reported already [53] It should however be noted that 22

with the current market situation LIB prices being below costs are not unlikely to occur 23

Until 2025 production costs of the different cell formats are expected to approach and fall 24

below the mark of 100 eurokWh between 2020 and 2025 Taking further developments on 25

material level into account costs around 60-100 eurokWh seam feasible past 2025 26

Figure 39 Cost learning curves for large LIB cells (cylindrical and Pouchprismatic) [33] 3

Similar cost learning curves have been observed for other battery technologies (see Figure 4

40) In principal cost degression can be limited by demand (compare NiCd) or by reaching 5

material cost limits (compare Pb) Also the diffusion of battery technologies in new markets 6

or applications can lead to further technological improvements and justify higher production 7

costs (compare deviation of NiMH Pb) Following the available data for LIB cells approx 100 8

$kWh (~89 eurokWh) are reached at a cumulative yearly production of 1TWh This mark is 9

expected to be reached between 2020 and 2030 10

Beyond 2030 LIB production costs are however expected to start deviating from this curve 11

due to limiting raw material prices 12

243 Development of storage cost for xEVs and ESS 4

2432 ESS 7

According to recent end-customer price data provided in [55] for 2018 typical consumer prices 8

for small scale (~10 kWh) stationary home storage systems are between 5000 and 15000 9

Euros leading to a relative price of 800 to 1200 eurokWh It is expected that these system prices 10

will benefit from the growing battery markets (also xEV) since similar LIB cell types can be 11

applied in both application areas With respect to inverters and other system related costs the 12

smaller market volume of home ESS indicates lower economy of scale effects as compared 13

to cells 14

244 Installation repair and maintenance costs 15

2441 xEV 16

So far no comprehensive information on repair and maintenance costs for the battery system 17

of xEVs are available Due to still rather accommodating service policies repair or 18

replacement of batteries is so far often covered by the manufacturer 19

Will be added in a later review 5

2451 Second life and recycling considerations 6

Until today only pilot projects Strategy of automotive OEM regarding second life applications 7

is not known 8

Value of recycled materials can be estimated 9

Three main scenarios possible after end of 1st life (xEV) 10

1 Disposal of batteries (eg separation of liquid and solid components hazardous waste 11

disposal) 12

2 Recycling of batteries and direct regeneration and re-use of cathode materials (2a) or 13

recovery of metals (2b) 14

3 2nd life in ESS applications under limited load (low DOD cycling low power) 15

16

Scenario 1 will add another component to battery costs scenario 2 and 3 could significantly 17

decrease the cost of batteries if energy efficient recycling methods can be developed or viable 18

2nd life business models are established 19

26 Annex 1

2611 Modelling of addressable markets for electric applications 2

Vehicle markets (in units of registrations in the EU28 per year) and ESS markets (in units of 3

number of installed home PV systems or in units of overall renewable (PV wind) electricity 4

generation in the EU28 per year) were modelled by exponential functions 5

119872119905119886119901119901(119905) = 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 6

With Mtapp(t) being the total market volume of an application M0 the market size in 2015 and 7

120591 times 119871119899(2) the time t necessary to double the initial market volume M0 M0 and Tau were chosen 8

to fit existing market data 9

119872119886119901119901(119905) = 119888 times 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 10

With Mapp(t) being the addressable market and c a factor equal or smaller than 1 Parameter 11

c lt 1 was chosen to take into account that not the whole existing market Mtapp might be 12

addressable by electric technologies Eg a share of vehicles primarily used for long distance 13

travel might not be addressable by BEV but by PHEV only 14

The market addressable for passenger PHEV (as a transition technology on the path to full 15

electric vehicles) was modelled as the difference of total vehicle sales and BEV sales 16

119872119875119867119864119881(119905) = 119888 times 119872119905119901119886119904119904119890119899119892119890119903(119905) minus 119878119861119864119881(119905) 17

The market addressable for passenger BEV was modelled like Mapp(t) with c lt 1 18

2612 Modelling of sales numbers of xEV and ESS 19

Yearly sales numbers Sapp(t) for the different applications were modelled by logistic growth 20

functions Logistic functions can model diffusion of technologies into existing markets with a 21

given market volume M The market volume can be a moving target M = M(t) The relative 22

change of sales numbers Srsquoapp(t)Sapp(t) is proportional to the market volume not yet 23

developed by a technology Mapp(t) ndash Sapp(t) 24

119878119886119901119901(119905) = 119872119886119901119901(119905) times1

1 + 119864119909119901(minus119872119886119901119901(119905) times (119905 minus 1199050)120591)(119872119886119901119901(119905)

119878119886119901119901(1199050)minus 1)

25

With Tau being a time constant and Sapp(t0) being the yearly sales number at year t0 (eg 26

2015) 27

Short time constants Tau of few years were used to model ESS sales Due to limitations of 28

the existing electricity grid to only buffer a certain share of fluctuating PV and wind generated 29

electricity the further expansion of renewable electricity generation might be strongly coupled 30

to ESS installations Hence ESS sales were modelled to closely follow the assumed 31

installations of renewable power in the limit of ldquovery fastrdquo market diffusion (120591 rarr 0) 32

2613 Modelling of battery system capacities 33

Battery capacities EBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws In 34

particular BEV battery capacities increased in the last years from 30 kWh in 2013 to more than 35

40 kWh in 2018 (EU sales and production averages) In the long term we expect BEV 36

capacities to converge towards a value sufficient to provide average driving ranges of some 37

100 km Battery capacity growth rates are hence supposed to slow down 38

52

119864119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198640 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 1

With E0 being the average battery capacity in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years and 2

b an exponent lt 1 The parameters were chosen to fit existing data 3

2614 Modelling of battery replacement rates 4

Battery replacement rates RrBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws 5

The replacement rate defines the share of batteries installed in year t that had to be replaced 6

within the lifetime of a system (xEV ESS) In particular for vehicles it is assumed that xEV 7

manufacturers currently install battery cells with a high lifetime and cyclability (several 8

thousand cycles) In the mid-term we expect that battery life and vehicle life (eg 200000 to 9

300000 km) will be matched by car manufacturers Assuming a constant vehicle lifetime 10

battery replacement rates are supposed to increase over time 11

119877119903119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198770 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 12

With R0 being the average replacement rate in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years 13

and b an exponent lt 1 At present there is no data available to fit the parameters Parameters 14

were estimated based on the usage profile and load of different applications 15

2615 Modelling of system lifetimes (xEV ESS) 16

System lifetimes Ltsystem(t) were assumed to be constant Ltsystem(t)= Ltsystem Parameters were 17

estimated based on manufacturer statements and typical lifetimes for combustion powered 18

vehicles 19

2616 Calculation of battery replacements 20

Battery replacements RpBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 21

calculated by assuming a uniform distribution of battery replacements over the lifetime 22

Ltsystem(i) of battery systems installed in year i 23

119877119901119861119886119905119905(119905) = sum119877119903119861119886119905119905(119894) times 119878119886119901119901(119894) times 119864119861119886119905119905(119894)

24

2617 Calculation of battery decommissions 25

Battery decommissions DcBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 26

assumed to happen coincident with the end of life of the systems (Ltsystem) they were installed 27

in in year i This neglects any second life usage in t gt i It was assumed that xEV or ESS 28

manufacturers will tune the battery lifetime to match the system lifetime (see 2614) 29

2618 Calculation of yearly installed battery capacity 31

The yearly installed battery capacity Sbapp(t) in the EU28 was calculated as 32

119878119887119886119901119901(119905) = 119878119886119901119901(119905) times 119864119886119901119901119861119886119905119905(119905) + 119877119901119886119901119901

223 Market stock and forecast for ESS in Europe 3

As discussed in Task 1 several stationary applications for batteries exist ranging from grid 4

support to home storage As will be shown in section 23 the demand for battery capacity 5

generated by ESS applications at present is rather small as compared to 3C and motive 6

markets There is no systematic registration of large scale or small scale stationary storage 7

systems in the EU Hence the market stock and volume for respective applications can only 8

be estimated based on indirect data 9

2231 Photovoltaic installations in the EU 10

Energy storage systems in combination with photovoltaic installations are one major 11

application for batteries both for private as well as commercial purposes Due to changes in 12

reimbursement and subsidy policy as well as the physical capability of the energy system to 13

buffer and process high shares of renewable energy the use of local energy storage systems 14

is becoming more and more popular There is no data on the share of PV installations 15

equipped with an energy storage system for the EU However on regional level some data is 16

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

20

available According to [10] approximately half of the PV systems with a peak power below 1

30 kW installed in Germany in 2017 have been equipped with an energy storage option 2

(amounting to about 30000 storage systems with a cumulative capacity of 400 MWh) 3

At present the installation of storage systems is strongly coupled to new installations of PV 4

systems As shown in Figure 16 with data on Germany the retrofit of existing PV installations 5

with storage systems is however expected to contribute significantly to the demand for battery 6

capacity in the PV segment in the future Within the forecast shown 50 of the sold storage 7

systems might be integrated into already existing PV-systems in 2030 8

Figure 16 PV installations and retrofit of existing PV installations in Germany Data and image 10

taken from [11] 11

Figure 17 shows the yearly installed PV power (MW) in the EU28 [12] A boom of PV 12

installations can clearly be observed for the years 2010 to 2012 mainly driven by installations 13

in Germany and Italy Likely as a result of changing subsidy policies the yearly installed PV 14

power has since then steadily decreased in both countries On the other hand a steady 15

increase in installations can be observed for the Netherlands and the UK In the forecast model 16

applied in [12] a slight increase in new installations is expected until 2021 driven by 17

installations in the UK and Portugal as well as member countries which so far do not have 18

any considerable PV installations Due to decreasing costs for solar panels and rather stable 19

remuneration rates this upward trend seems to be justified 20

Figure 17 PV installations in EU28 countries and forecast until 2020 Data taken from [12] 2

Based on the data given in [10] for Germany 80 of the installed PV systems can be attributed 3

to small or medium sized installations (average of 10 kWp) directly feeding into the low-voltage 4

grid In terms of power these systems amount to about 30 of the installations If equipped 5

with an energy storage system the average battery capacity amounts to 8 to 10 kWh [13] 6

Concerning installations in Europe it can be argued that there is a trend towards smaller roof-7

top systems for more densely populated and less sunny regions while in particular in the 8

southern European countries larger solar parks are favored Since no comprehensive data 9

covering the whole EU is available only a rough estimation for the demand of battery storage 10

systems and capacity can be made 11

Assuming that the number of smaller roof-top installations (30 of power) as well as the 12

number of systems equipped with an ESS (50 of installations lt 30 kWp) is above average 13

for Germany as compared to the rest of the EU the market data and forecasts given in [12] 14

and [11] would lead to a demand for battery capacity as summarized in Table 5 15

2232 Wind Turbine installations in the EU 5

Similar to section 2231 for PV installations Figure 18 shows data and forecasts for wind 6

turbine power installations in the EU28 [12] In contrast to PV installations wind turbine power 7

is almost exclusively attributed to larger scale wind parks We conclude that the use of small 8

scale ESS for the optimization of private energy consumption is therefore not driven by wind 9

power installations 10

Still the ongoing installation of wind turbine power in the EU28 might become a driver for large 11

scale decentralized energy storage systems however there is no market data available which 12

would allow for a battery demand forecast 13

the world Figure 19 shows the cumulated storage capacity (installed stock) for the EU28 Of 7

the 450 MWh installed until 2018 in total 340 MWh were installed in Germany and 80 MWh 8

Table 6 lists larger scale (~MWh) stationary storage systems installed in the EU in 2017 [12] 4

80 of these installations are categorized as substation storage 6 relates to frequency 5

stabilization 5 to storage of wind-generated energy and 1 to storage of PV-generated 6

energy 7

Note that most of these installations are prototype or test facilities which does not allow to 8

use this application share as template for future market developments The total installed 9

capacity of 340 MWh in 2017 suggests that the market volume of large scale ESS is of the 10

same order of magnitude as that of home storage Note that the installed capacity for 2017 in 11

[14] is only 65 MWh It is however not stated in [12] whether the listed ESS projects are still in 12

2234 Forecast ESS sales and stock EU28 2

The data presented in sections 2231 2232 and 2233 was used as an input for a forecast 3

model on large scale and home ESS 4

EU wide sales numbers and growth rates for PV coupled home storage systems were 5

extrapolated with declining growth rates for 2035 and beyond With respect to large scale ESS 6

it was assumed that the generation of electricity by renewable sources exceeding 17 (2015 7

value [15]) of the total electricity generation necessitates a certain amount of ESS buffer 8

capacity EU 2020 and 2030 targets [16 17] for the share of renewable electricity generation 9

were used as a forecast model The buffer capacity demand was estimated to be 70 of the 10

daily electrical energy generated by renewables exceeding the share of 17 11

A lifetime of 20 years with a replacement rate of 10 was assumed for home ESS and a 12

lifetime of 20 years with a battery replacement rate of 80 within this lifetime was assumed 13

for large scale ESS System capacities were modelled by a power law based on present-day 14

values The assumptions for the market model are summarized in Table 7 and Table 8 and 15

shall be subject to discussion during the stakeholder meeting 16

224 Summary of the market sales forecast and estimation of the future 1

and past stock 2

As shown in sections 222 and 223 several drivers exist for the application of battery storage 3

systems in stationary and motive applications While the demand for battery capacity 4

generated by BEV and PHEV passenger cars was on the level of several GWh for 2017 the 5

ESS markets might still be below the 1 GWh mark in the EU 6

With respect to the increase of average battery capacity installed in different applications (see 7

Figure 22) and the growth rates for the sales of xEV and ESS (see sections 2223 and 8

2232) forecasts for the total new installations (including replacements) of batteries in the 9

EU28 are shown in Figure 23 See annex for further comments 10

11

Figure 22 Average system battery energy (kWh or MWh) forecast 12

It can be expected that the demand generated by sales and replacements in the EU28 will 13

amount to about 20 GWh by 2020 100 GWh by 2025 and more than 400 GWh by 2030 14

23 Market trends 3

231 General objective of subtask 23 and approach 4

The following chapter provides a comprehensive market overview on global battery sales 5

demand and players Starting with the market development of Lithium-ion batteries between 6

2010 to 2017 scenarios until 2025 to 2030 are presented including a meta-analysis of several 7

most recent market reports (eg [18ndash27]) Step by step the regional markets and markets by 8

applications will be specified 9

232 Market drivers and CO2 legislation [28] 10

Climate and energy policies are main drivers for the energy future and are expected to lead to 11

an increasing demand for energy storage in the mid and long term (see Figure 24) According 12

to the European Unionacutes decarbonization objective a reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) 13

emissions to 80 ndash 95 below 1990 levels should be achieved by 2050 14

In particular for the transport sector no full decarbonization is achieved [29] even in the longer 15

term (other sectors have to compensate with higher GHG reductions) The overall reduction 16

achieved in the transport sector by 2050 is only around 60 below 1990 levels The 17

increasing trend in emissions seen over the past 20 years is expected to reverse by the CO2 18

legislation From 2020 on the fleet average to be achieved by all new cars is 95 grams of CO2 19

per kilometer (compared to 130 gkm in 2015) 20

Many other governments world-wide have specified CO2 emission targets and are striving 21

towards a low carbon economy Particularly in the field of passenger and commercial vehicles 22

fuel consumption and emission targets have been installed which significantly drive the 23

introduction of battery or fuel cell powered electric vehicles Among these emission policies 24

the targets set by the EU are among the most ambitious (see Table 11) Meeting them will 25

require a significant share of electric vehicles 26

Table 11 Overview about fuel consumption and CO2-emission targets for passenger vehicles 1

of the EU and other countries leading battery and electric mobility markets [30] 2

In this context electric mobility is gaining importance since electric vehicles especially plug-3

in hybrid and pure battery electric vehicles can help to achieve or fulfill these limits due to 4

improved CO2 footprints compared to conventional cars However for low CO2 footprints over 5

the lifetime of electric cars a high share of ldquolow carbonrdquo renewable energy sources (RES) in 6

the energy mix is needed and important (Figure 24 left side) 7

8

Figure 24 Climate and energy policies as drivers for future energy storage demand [28] 9

The EU Energy Roadmap 2050 [31 32] has shown across six scenarios that the 10

decarbonization goal can be achieved if the share of renewable energy sources (RES) among 11

the power generation capacity is high (gt 60 until 2050) for all scenarios Especially for the 12

high RES scenario the share of fluctuating energy generation (wind photovoltaic ndash PV) is the 13

strongest which has to be balanced Grid expansion andor flexibilization measures (eg 14

demand side management power to gas and vehicle to grid besides stationary battery 15

storage) are potential solutions Thus the high RES scenario is the most interesting scenario 16

with respect to a potential future demand for energy storage solutions (ESS) on local 17

distribution and transmission grid levels (Figure 24 right side) In order to have a significant 18

GHG reduction with EVs it will also be important to achieve the RES targets 19

233 The developing battery market 1

The total annual battery market is currently on the level of 45-60 billion Euro representing 2

approximately 400-500 GWh (including Lead-acid Lithium-Ion and other batteries) [33] 3

Lithium-ion batteries (LIB) have succeeded because of their high gravimetric and volumetric 4

energy densities and have a market share of about a third in terms of value among the whole 5

battery market The growth is driven by the decreasing cell costs of less than 170 eurokWh for a 6

standard cylindrical cell (lowest prices) approaching the 90 eurokWh mark in the next years This 7

cost degression is due to increasing capacity demand and production and thus due to scale 8

effects 9

Although the LIB market is drastically growing with annual growth rates of up to 30 percent 10

on average (in terms of battery capacity demand) the dominating battery technology in terms 11

of capacity however are still lead-acid batteries representing about 90 percent of the global 12

demand in volume around 2010 and 80 percent in 2017 13

14

15

Figure 25 Historical development of the global battery demand in GWh (left axis for NiCd 16

NiMH right axis for all other battery types grey total battery demand) [34] 17

Other mature battery technologies like NiCd (still partly used in power tools) and NiMH (still 18

used in hybrid electric vehicles HEV) are slowly declining and are expected to disappear from 19

the market in the next decade The diversification of future battery applications however will 20

also broaden the range of battery technologies Emerging technologies like Na-based Metal-21

Sulfur or Redox Flow batteries are developing and may lead to attractive solutions eg with 22

respect to cost and resource availability advantages However due to very strict requirements 23

on volumetric energy densities these technologies are expected to be relevant for stationary 24

or other special markets and less for the most significant electric vehicle market In general 25

each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses and none of them can satisfy all user 26

demands Hence a broader application-specific technology portfolio is urgently needed in 27

order to provide alternative technology solutions in the future 28

The extremely dynamic development of the global LIB demand will lead to the TWh level latest 29

around 2030 and grow further after 2030 Thus LIB will very soon transform into the 30

dominating energy storage technology 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

34

Figure 26 shows three different scenarios for the global demand for LIB between 2010 and 1

2030 (green curves) along with global production capacities (orange and blue curve)[33] 2

While at the beginning of the decade the demand and sales numbers followed the medium 3

growth rate trend scenario the market has been approaching the high growth rate scenario in 4

the last years This is mainly due to the strong engagement of politics and respective 5

regulation and subsidy programs for electric mobility As can be seen from the graph the 6

share of demand generated by motive applications is expected to significantly grow in the next 7

years and might account for more than one third of the total LIB demand by 2025 8

To face this increasing demand for LIB cells accordingly production capacities need to be 9

build up in the near future Based on the currently existing cell production capacities and the 10

global announcements from established and new cell producers until 2025 the LIB cell 11

production capacities (blue line in 12

Figure 26) have been identified Compared to 15 GWh added production capacity between 13

2013 and 2016 in the next years around 50 GWh will be added annually leading to around 14

700 GWh production capacities until 2025 (in the optimistic case see blue line in 15

Figure 26) The announcements include established players such as Panasonic (JP) LG 16

Chem (KR) Samsung (KR) SKI (KR) BYD (CN) Lishen (CN) CATL (CN) CALB (CN) 17

OPTIMUM (CN) and several further Chinese cell producers Also new players such as TerraE 18

(DE) Northvolt (SW) Boston Energy (US AU) Energy Absolute (Thailand) are included 19

while accounting for the different stages of expansion [20 27] 20

234 Battery markets by application 23

Diversification of applications for batteries 24

The above described global developments of battery demand and production strongly concern 25

high-energy lithium-ion batteries with the cell chemistries NMC NCA (Ni-rich and Co-reduced 26

cathodes) and SiC (high capacity SiC anodes with 5-10 or higher Si content) and cell 27

formats cylindrical (eg larger 21700 compared to standard 18650) large pouch or prismatic 28

cells The target is to develop and produce cells with improved gravimetric and volumetric 29

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

35

energy densities and reduced costs in order to meet the requirements of the automotive 1

industry Electric passenger cars are driving the demand and thus development of the battery 2

technology and these optimized and cost reduced batteries define the benchmark today and 3

in the future 4

LIB demand by applications 5

In Figure 27 the global LIB demand is broken down to the three main sectors for battery 6

demand which can be characterised each having different profiles of requirement 7

bull electric mobility or electric vehicles (EV including eg passenger cars light 8

commercial vehicles buses trucks scooters ebikes etc) 9

bull stationary energy storage systems (ESS) and 10

bull portable devices (3C ndash Computer Communication Consumer) 11

The LIB cell demand developed to almost 25 GWh in 2010 since the market introduction in 12

the early 1990s and dominantly resulted from portable devices In 2015 the cell demand of 13

about 70 GWh was distributed already almost 5050 between 3C and EV applications 14

15

Figure 27 Global LIB demand (in GWh and share in ) by segment [34] 16

Since 2015 the global LIB demand has increased with compound annual growth rates 17

(CAGR) of ~25 from about 70 GWh to about 110 GWh in 2017 The market for electric 18

vehicles currently grows with 30-40 (and more depending on the application and region) and 19

a diversification in applications (eg buses trucks other light to heavy commercial vehicles 20

marine applications drones etc) can be observed 21

With the diversification of future markets and applications cost sensitive markets will arise for 22

which optimized high-energy and cost reduced automotive cells of certain cell formats will be 23

used However also applications with stronger requirements on long lifetime high cycleability 24

fast charging capability safety etc will emerge and diffuse where cost is not the most 25

relevant factor and other battery technologies (ie cell chemistries formats) can provide a 26

unique selling proposition and hence lead to a product differentiation 27

2341 LIB markets for 3C applications 28

Portable devices (3C) have been the main applications for LIB cells in the past Power tools 29

medical devices and wearables are expected to be products with an emerging future market 30

for small LIB cells but with enormous quantities The price per kWh that can be stored plays a 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

36

less important role for these applications As far as charging is concerned technologies such 1

as energy harvesting and wireless charging are expected to be introduced in the future For 2

many markets and products such as household devices garden cleaning power tools other 3

mobile leisure applications etc today mostly cylindrical LIB cells of the format 18650 are used 4

With the introduction of 21700 cells also larger cylindrical cells become available now and are 5

expected to be used in diffuse in such applications Although different specific cell chemistries 6

might be suitable depending on the concrete application again it can be stated that the 3C 7

segment is expected to lead to a comparably small battery capacity demand compared to the 8

EV segment and will not be the limiting segment with respect to the risk of resource 9

dependencies 10

In the next few years growth rates of about 5 to 10 percent are expected for the 3C markets 11

while laptop battery demand is developing at lower growth rates and power tools medical 12

devices etc are supporting the growth rates for the battery demand 13

2342 LIB markets for stationary (ESS) applications 17

Stationary energy storage systems (ESS) can be divided into different size classes with regard 18

to the capacity and charging times Both together decide on the application area (eg small 19

PV storage at home peak load to long-term storage) [35] Beyond that the price per kWh put 20

through over the lifetime is the economic key factor (as synthesized by the LCOE levelized 21

cost of energy) In contrast gravimetric and volumetric energy density plays a subordinate 22

role Due to that lead-acid batteries were often used as storage technology for off- and on-23

grid storage Currently LIBs are being established for commercial use and meanwhile reach 24

an annual demand of some few GWh Other electrochemical storage technologies such as 25

sodium-sulfur batteries are still used but the demand for LIB is strongly increasing for ESS It 26

is expected that 2nd life concepts for batteries that had their first life in electric vehicles will 27

gain importance together with market diffusion in the EV segment as the requirements on the 28

batteries are less demanding in the ESS segment This however will require the development 29

of according business models standardization etc The much broader available technology 30

37

portfolio for ESS applications the use of 2nd life batteries and the fact that electric vehicle 1

batteries that are connected to the grid on a large scale with higher market diffusion can be 2

regarded as stationary storage systems as well (vehicle to grid V2G grid to vehicle G2V) help 3

to reduce the risk of technological and resource dependencies in the future 4

The market for stationary storage applications (ESS) is experiencing growth rates of 20 to 30 5

percent depending on individual market forecasts (in the last years CAGR have even been on 6

the level of 60 but decrease with increasing size of the market see Figure 29) 7

The market is currently on a level of few GWh including applications from smaller PV storage 8

systems of 5-10 kWh to larger industrial and grid connected installations for own power 9

consumption peak shaving etc on the MWh level Regarding these growth rates LIB for ESS 10

applications rapidly gain importance as de-central storage solutions compared to the currently 11

dominating central pumped hydro storage (PHS) Forecasts to 2025 differ by size and expect 12

an ESS LIB demand between 20-50 GWh (partially higher eg in [23]) but all forecasts identify 13

high growth rates 14

2343 LIB markets for electric vehicle applications 18

One of the biggest challenges for batteries for electric vehicles (EV including electric cars 19

buses trucks etc) apart from their price is the increase of their volumetric and gravimetric 20

energy density The volumetric energy density is even more important for OEM due to 21

restricted and fixed space and location of the battery in an electric vehicle A very relevant 22

parameter of a battery is its charging and discharging power in particular in continuous 23

operation It determines the fast-charging capability which is an important argument in the 24

use and the establishment on the market At the same time this sets limits to the high-25

performance operation since energy consumption is reduced to protect the battery from 26

damage This illustrates the conflicting effect of different parameters on the battery lifetime 27

Price volume weight and thus charge density as well as chargedischarge rate in terms of 28

usage and durability are the most urgent challenges for battery manufacturers 29

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

38

The market for EV batteries is currently at the level of about 50 GWh (including electric 1

passenger cars busses trucks ebikes scooter forklifts etc) Growth rates are at 20 to 40 2

percent and the demand for EV batteries will lead to a share of about 66 percent in 2020 76 3

percent until 2025 and 80 percent or higher in the long term Electric passenger cars (BEV 4

and PHEV) define the by far largest market within the EV segment and are clearly driving the 5

technology development of high energy Lithium-Ion or Lithium-based batteries in the future 6

7

Figure 30 Demand and growth of the EV LIB market [34] 8

9

Other motive (or stationary or portable) markets applications besides the highly competitive 10

electric passenger cars therefore can offer interesting growth markets also for smaller cell 11

producers beyond the large Japanese Korean and Chinese cell producers These markets or 12

applications very often define concrete requirements for the battery performance they require 13

an in depth understanding and design from the cell chemistry format to the modulepack and 14

system integration and they still vary strongly by region and are connected to individual system 15

integrators or OEM This is because each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses 16

and none of them can satisfy all userapplication demands Hence a broader application 17

specific technology portfolio is even urgently needed in order to provide alternative individual 18

technology solutions for these emerging marketsapplications 19

20

235 Market channels and production structure 21

2351 Global production capacities and major players 22

Since their commercialization in the 1990s LIB have been predominantly produced by 23

Japanese and Korean companies Driven by the Chinese government particularly cell 24

producers but also companies covering other steps of the LIB value creation chain have been 25

established in China Due to a policy of simultaneous support for LIB production as well as for 26

application markets and due to an extensive subsidy scheme a large share of LIB production 27

capacities is located in China today 28

Figure 31 Figure 32 Figure 33 and Figure 34 show the global LIB production capacities of 29

major cell producers in 2018 as well as forecasts for 2020 2025 and 2030 respectively [36] 30

The data is based on announcements made by the cell producers As discussed in section 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

39

233 the actual time-frame for the implementation of the capacity expansions is often delayed 1

with respect to the original announcements Hence minimum and maximum values for the 2

production capacities are given 3

Figure 34 Global LIB production capacities of major cell producers in 2030 [36] 2

Until 2030 the announced production capacities add up to more than 1 TWh In total there 3

are about 30 cell producers which have announced to build up production capacities of more 4

than 10 GWhyear which can be considered to be a threshold in order to be able to produce 5

at competitve costs [36] If the announced capacities are fully utilized the ldquobig 4rdquo (Panasonic 6

CATL LGC and BYD) will be able to fully cover the market demand (gt550 GWh) until 2025 7

2352 Europes position in the global battery value chain 8

In the EU several actors are positioned which cover production steps along the whole value 9

chain of LIBs starting from raw material production to production of cells and systems and 10

finally recycling However with respect to global markets only few organizations within the EU 11

have a market share of more than 1 in their specific segment eg BASF Germany in the 12

field of electrolyte production [30] 13

An overview about existing and active companies is given by the European Battery Alliance 14

(see Figure 35) Due to the presence of strong automotive OEM LIB pack manufacturing and 15

system integration is taking place on large scale in Europe A particular gap in the value chain 16

is present due to the lack of a large-scale cell production capable of serving the volumes and 17

prices required by the automotive industry 18

Several consortia are currently attempting to build up a European large scale cell 4

manufacturing such as Nothvolt (Sweden) with 32 GWh until 2023 or Saft (together with 5

Siemens and Manz) [39] Recently the German government announced plans for funding of 6

a Batterie-Cell-Alliance between Germany and Poland with cell production capacities in the 7

Regions Lausitz (Germany) and Westpoland [40 41] At the cross section between RampD and 8

large-scale production also a Research Production with 600 Mio EUR funding is foreseen 9

whereas the Fraunhofer Society should coordinate and run such a research production [42] 10

The announced funding from the German government sums up to 2 bn EUR 11

Given all these announced investments and production capacities to build up in the next years 12

the cell production capacities of European cell manufacturers could sum up to over 40 GWh 13

beyond 2025 In contrast main Asian cell manufacturer have already started with cell 14

production (eg LG SDI) or plan to build up production capacities until 2020 to 2025 In 15

concrete there are plans from [43ndash51] 16

17

bull CATL (China) to build 14 GWh in Germany Erfurt beyond 2020 18

bull LG Chem (Japan) to build 15 to 24 GWh (for 03 Mio EVs) in Poland beyond 2020 19

bull Samsung SDI (Japan) to build 10 to 15 GWh beyond 2020 in Hungary (including a 20

recent 5 GWh announcement for 21700 cells for Land Rover 21

bull SK Innovation (Japan) to build 75 GWh in Hungary beyond 2020 22

bull PanasonicTesla to build a (assumed 35GWh) Gigafactory in Europa around 2025 23

bull as well as from BYD (China) GS Yuasa (Japan) and Farasis (US) to build production 24

capacities between 2020 and 2025 25

26

The production capacities from Asian (or non-European) cell manufacturer might sum up to 27

well above 82-96 GWh by 2025 and including BYD GS Yuasa Farasis etc capacities far 28

above 100 GWh can be expected Together with the new EU cell producers this could easily 29

sum up towards the above mentioned 200 GWh demand in Europe But it also clearly indicates 30

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

44

the competition the emerging European players have to face (besides the fact that the plans 1

of the Asian companies are expected to be realized already several years earlier as those of 2

the novel EU companies) 3

2353 Product design trends and technological roadmap 4

Concerning the battery technology or type (by chemistry format etc) which will most likely 5

be produced to address this increasing demand the global roadmaps of cell producers are 6

basically similar Based on state-of-the art cell design (eg LFP NCA based ldquogeneration 1rdquo 7

and NMC111 to NMC532 ldquogeneration 2abrdquo Li-ion batteries) [52] and state-of-the-art 8

production equipment incremental improvements are expected in the next few years but with 9

the target to get to higher-energy lithium-ion batteries Concerning the electrolytes still liquid 10

electrolytes will be used but adopted to the changing electrode materials (eg with additives) 11

Current trends for layered oxide cathodes describe the development of Ni-rich (Co reduced) 12

materials (NMC) A few cell producers are already using NMC811 or comparable cathode 13

materials others are still adopting NMC622 (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3ardquo) On cathode 14

side maybe even lower-cost Mn-rich High Energy NMCs (HE-NMC) might be realized and 15

produced within ~10 years as Mn is cheaper than Ni (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3brdquo) On 16

anode side the trend is to incorporate Si-nano particles to make use of the alloying reaction 17

between Si and Li yielding a high capacitance This however comes at the cost of cycle life 18

Further down the road we might see higher Si contents (~20) 19

20

All-solid-state batteries are on the roadmap of many battery producers but also OEM (also 21

referred to as ldquogeneration 4rdquo) The key performance parameters (KPI) are suitable for electric 22

mobility (EV) Main challenges are indeed manufacturability particularly for ceramic solid state 23

electrolytes which promise to yield the highest advantages over state of the art technologies 24

The market introduction in niche applications is expected possible prior to the use in 25

automotive applications First all-solid-state batteries might not be competitive in terms of 26

energy density but safety properties Later on energy densities of 350-400 Whkg and higher 27

are expected 28

Li-ion batteries but (according to the current level of knowledge) do not reach the necessary 5

KPIs in terms of energy density power density and cycling stability necessary for electric 6

availability either volumetric or gravimetric energy density or others But often even 8

fundamental challenges are not solved yet (eg concerning the stability of materials and 9

24 Consumer expenditure base data 2

241 General objective of subtask 24 and approach 3

Subtask 24 gives an overview about average production costs and consumer prices incl 4

VAT (for consumer prices streetprice) excl VAT (for B2B products) as well as an estimation 5

of repair and maintenance as well as installation and disposal costs 6

Due to their recent larger scale market introduction there is still little experience with 7

maintenance as well as disposal expenses Hence only estimations can be made based on 8

isolated sources 9

242 Development of LIB cell costs 10

As the core of LIB based energy storage systems the battery cell exhibits the highest cost 11

share During the last years particularly standardized 18650 format LIB cells have 12

experienced a steep cost learning curve benefiting from production scale effects but also 13

from technological advancements on material level increasing the energy density per volume 14

and weight and decreasing the amount of cost intense Cobalt-based components Compared 15

to this benchmark larger format LIB cells (Pouch prismatic) as are utilized in xEVs and ESS 16

predominantly feature lower energy densities at higher cost per kWh There are however no 17

principal limitations which would prevent a performance and cost development similar to what 18

was observed for cylindrical cells Figure 39 shows the cost learning curves for cylindrical as 19

well as larger format LIB cells [33] Today average costs for cells suitable for automotive use 20

are below 150 eurokWh (cylindrical) and around 200 eurokWh (Pouchprismatic) In specific cases 21

prices around 100 eurokWh have been reported already [53] It should however be noted that 22

with the current market situation LIB prices being below costs are not unlikely to occur 23

Until 2025 production costs of the different cell formats are expected to approach and fall 24

below the mark of 100 eurokWh between 2020 and 2025 Taking further developments on 25

material level into account costs around 60-100 eurokWh seam feasible past 2025 26

Figure 39 Cost learning curves for large LIB cells (cylindrical and Pouchprismatic) [33] 3

Similar cost learning curves have been observed for other battery technologies (see Figure 4

40) In principal cost degression can be limited by demand (compare NiCd) or by reaching 5

material cost limits (compare Pb) Also the diffusion of battery technologies in new markets 6

or applications can lead to further technological improvements and justify higher production 7

costs (compare deviation of NiMH Pb) Following the available data for LIB cells approx 100 8

$kWh (~89 eurokWh) are reached at a cumulative yearly production of 1TWh This mark is 9

expected to be reached between 2020 and 2030 10

Beyond 2030 LIB production costs are however expected to start deviating from this curve 11

due to limiting raw material prices 12

2432 ESS 7

According to recent end-customer price data provided in [55] for 2018 typical consumer prices 8

for small scale (~10 kWh) stationary home storage systems are between 5000 and 15000 9

Euros leading to a relative price of 800 to 1200 eurokWh It is expected that these system prices 10

will benefit from the growing battery markets (also xEV) since similar LIB cell types can be 11

applied in both application areas With respect to inverters and other system related costs the 12

smaller market volume of home ESS indicates lower economy of scale effects as compared 13

to cells 14

So far no comprehensive information on repair and maintenance costs for the battery system 17

2451 Second life and recycling considerations 6

Until today only pilot projects Strategy of automotive OEM regarding second life applications 7

is not known 8

Value of recycled materials can be estimated 9

Three main scenarios possible after end of 1st life (xEV) 10

1 Disposal of batteries (eg separation of liquid and solid components hazardous waste 11

disposal) 12

2 Recycling of batteries and direct regeneration and re-use of cathode materials (2a) or 13

recovery of metals (2b) 14

3 2nd life in ESS applications under limited load (low DOD cycling low power) 15

16

Scenario 1 will add another component to battery costs scenario 2 and 3 could significantly 17

decrease the cost of batteries if energy efficient recycling methods can be developed or viable 18

26 Annex 1

2611 Modelling of addressable markets for electric applications 2

Vehicle markets (in units of registrations in the EU28 per year) and ESS markets (in units of 3

number of installed home PV systems or in units of overall renewable (PV wind) electricity 4

generation in the EU28 per year) were modelled by exponential functions 5

119872119905119886119901119901(119905) = 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 6

With Mtapp(t) being the total market volume of an application M0 the market size in 2015 and 7

120591 times 119871119899(2) the time t necessary to double the initial market volume M0 M0 and Tau were chosen 8

to fit existing market data 9

119872119886119901119901(119905) = 119888 times 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 10

With Mapp(t) being the addressable market and c a factor equal or smaller than 1 Parameter 11

c lt 1 was chosen to take into account that not the whole existing market Mtapp might be 12

addressable by electric technologies Eg a share of vehicles primarily used for long distance 13

travel might not be addressable by BEV but by PHEV only 14

The market addressable for passenger PHEV (as a transition technology on the path to full 15

electric vehicles) was modelled as the difference of total vehicle sales and BEV sales 16

119872119875119867119864119881(119905) = 119888 times 119872119905119901119886119904119904119890119899119892119890119903(119905) minus 119878119861119864119881(119905) 17

The market addressable for passenger BEV was modelled like Mapp(t) with c lt 1 18

2612 Modelling of sales numbers of xEV and ESS 19

Yearly sales numbers Sapp(t) for the different applications were modelled by logistic growth 20

functions Logistic functions can model diffusion of technologies into existing markets with a 21

given market volume M The market volume can be a moving target M = M(t) The relative 22

change of sales numbers Srsquoapp(t)Sapp(t) is proportional to the market volume not yet 23

developed by a technology Mapp(t) ndash Sapp(t) 24

119878119886119901119901(119905) = 119872119886119901119901(119905) times1

1 + 119864119909119901(minus119872119886119901119901(119905) times (119905 minus 1199050)120591)(119872119886119901119901(119905)

119878119886119901119901(1199050)minus 1)

25

With Tau being a time constant and Sapp(t0) being the yearly sales number at year t0 (eg 26

2015) 27

Short time constants Tau of few years were used to model ESS sales Due to limitations of 28

the existing electricity grid to only buffer a certain share of fluctuating PV and wind generated 29

electricity the further expansion of renewable electricity generation might be strongly coupled 30

to ESS installations Hence ESS sales were modelled to closely follow the assumed 31

installations of renewable power in the limit of ldquovery fastrdquo market diffusion (120591 rarr 0) 32

2613 Modelling of battery system capacities 33

Battery capacities EBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws In 34

particular BEV battery capacities increased in the last years from 30 kWh in 2013 to more than 35

40 kWh in 2018 (EU sales and production averages) In the long term we expect BEV 36

capacities to converge towards a value sufficient to provide average driving ranges of some 37

100 km Battery capacity growth rates are hence supposed to slow down 38

119864119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198640 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 1

With E0 being the average battery capacity in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years and 2

b an exponent lt 1 The parameters were chosen to fit existing data 3

2614 Modelling of battery replacement rates 4

Battery replacement rates RrBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws 5

The replacement rate defines the share of batteries installed in year t that had to be replaced 6

within the lifetime of a system (xEV ESS) In particular for vehicles it is assumed that xEV 7

manufacturers currently install battery cells with a high lifetime and cyclability (several 8

thousand cycles) In the mid-term we expect that battery life and vehicle life (eg 200000 to 9

300000 km) will be matched by car manufacturers Assuming a constant vehicle lifetime 10

battery replacement rates are supposed to increase over time 11

119877119903119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198770 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 12

With R0 being the average replacement rate in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years 13

and b an exponent lt 1 At present there is no data available to fit the parameters Parameters 14

were estimated based on the usage profile and load of different applications 15

2615 Modelling of system lifetimes (xEV ESS) 16

System lifetimes Ltsystem(t) were assumed to be constant Ltsystem(t)= Ltsystem Parameters were 17

estimated based on manufacturer statements and typical lifetimes for combustion powered 18

vehicles 19

2616 Calculation of battery replacements 20

Battery replacements RpBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 21

calculated by assuming a uniform distribution of battery replacements over the lifetime 22

Ltsystem(i) of battery systems installed in year i 23

223 Market stock and forecast for ESS in Europe 3

As discussed in Task 1 several stationary applications for batteries exist ranging from grid 4

support to home storage As will be shown in section 23 the demand for battery capacity 5

generated by ESS applications at present is rather small as compared to 3C and motive 6

markets There is no systematic registration of large scale or small scale stationary storage 7

systems in the EU Hence the market stock and volume for respective applications can only 8

be estimated based on indirect data 9

2231 Photovoltaic installations in the EU 10

Energy storage systems in combination with photovoltaic installations are one major 11

application for batteries both for private as well as commercial purposes Due to changes in 12

reimbursement and subsidy policy as well as the physical capability of the energy system to 13

buffer and process high shares of renewable energy the use of local energy storage systems 14

is becoming more and more popular There is no data on the share of PV installations 15

equipped with an energy storage system for the EU However on regional level some data is 16

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

20

available According to [10] approximately half of the PV systems with a peak power below 1

30 kW installed in Germany in 2017 have been equipped with an energy storage option 2

(amounting to about 30000 storage systems with a cumulative capacity of 400 MWh) 3

At present the installation of storage systems is strongly coupled to new installations of PV 4

systems As shown in Figure 16 with data on Germany the retrofit of existing PV installations 5

with storage systems is however expected to contribute significantly to the demand for battery 6

capacity in the PV segment in the future Within the forecast shown 50 of the sold storage 7

systems might be integrated into already existing PV-systems in 2030 8

9

Figure 16 PV installations and retrofit of existing PV installations in Germany Data and image 10

taken from [11] 11

Figure 17 shows the yearly installed PV power (MW) in the EU28 [12] A boom of PV 12

installations can clearly be observed for the years 2010 to 2012 mainly driven by installations 13

in Germany and Italy Likely as a result of changing subsidy policies the yearly installed PV 14

power has since then steadily decreased in both countries On the other hand a steady 15

increase in installations can be observed for the Netherlands and the UK In the forecast model 16

applied in [12] a slight increase in new installations is expected until 2021 driven by 17

installations in the UK and Portugal as well as member countries which so far do not have 18

any considerable PV installations Due to decreasing costs for solar panels and rather stable 19

remuneration rates this upward trend seems to be justified 20

Figure 17 PV installations in EU28 countries and forecast until 2020 Data taken from [12] 2

Based on the data given in [10] for Germany 80 of the installed PV systems can be attributed 3

to small or medium sized installations (average of 10 kWp) directly feeding into the low-voltage 4

grid In terms of power these systems amount to about 30 of the installations If equipped 5

with an energy storage system the average battery capacity amounts to 8 to 10 kWh [13] 6

Concerning installations in Europe it can be argued that there is a trend towards smaller roof-7

top systems for more densely populated and less sunny regions while in particular in the 8

southern European countries larger solar parks are favored Since no comprehensive data 9

covering the whole EU is available only a rough estimation for the demand of battery storage 10

systems and capacity can be made 11

Assuming that the number of smaller roof-top installations (30 of power) as well as the 12

number of systems equipped with an ESS (50 of installations lt 30 kWp) is above average 13

for Germany as compared to the rest of the EU the market data and forecasts given in [12] 14

and [11] would lead to a demand for battery capacity as summarized in Table 5 15

2232 Wind Turbine installations in the EU 5

Similar to section 2231 for PV installations Figure 18 shows data and forecasts for wind 6

turbine power installations in the EU28 [12] In contrast to PV installations wind turbine power 7

is almost exclusively attributed to larger scale wind parks We conclude that the use of small 8

scale ESS for the optimization of private energy consumption is therefore not driven by wind 9

power installations 10

Still the ongoing installation of wind turbine power in the EU28 might become a driver for large 11

scale decentralized energy storage systems however there is no market data available which 12

would allow for a battery demand forecast 13

2233 Large battery ESS projects 5

The DOE Global Energy Storage Database [14] lists several larger scale ESS projects around 6

the world Figure 19 shows the cumulated storage capacity (installed stock) for the EU28 Of 7

the 450 MWh installed until 2018 in total 340 MWh were installed in Germany and 80 MWh 8

in the UK Since this is not an exhaustive list it can be considered as lower boundary for the 9

installed stock 10

Figure 19 Installed ESS capacity (stock) in large scale projects in EU28 A ratio of 11 with 2

respect to installed power and installed energy content (capacity) was assumed [14] 3

Table 6 lists larger scale (~MWh) stationary storage systems installed in the EU in 2017 [12] 4

80 of these installations are categorized as substation storage 6 relates to frequency 5

stabilization 5 to storage of wind-generated energy and 1 to storage of PV-generated 6

energy 7

Note that most of these installations are prototype or test facilities which does not allow to 8

use this application share as template for future market developments The total installed 9

capacity of 340 MWh in 2017 suggests that the market volume of large scale ESS is of the 10

same order of magnitude as that of home storage Note that the installed capacity for 2017 in 11

[14] is only 65 MWh It is however not stated in [12] whether the listed ESS projects are still in 12

construction or already operational 13

2234 Forecast ESS sales and stock EU28 2

The data presented in sections 2231 2232 and 2233 was used as an input for a forecast 3

model on large scale and home ESS 4

EU wide sales numbers and growth rates for PV coupled home storage systems were 5

extrapolated with declining growth rates for 2035 and beyond With respect to large scale ESS 6

it was assumed that the generation of electricity by renewable sources exceeding 17 (2015 7

value [15]) of the total electricity generation necessitates a certain amount of ESS buffer 8

capacity EU 2020 and 2030 targets [16 17] for the share of renewable electricity generation 9

were used as a forecast model The buffer capacity demand was estimated to be 70 of the 10

daily electrical energy generated by renewables exceeding the share of 17 11

A lifetime of 20 years with a replacement rate of 10 was assumed for home ESS and a 12

lifetime of 20 years with a battery replacement rate of 80 within this lifetime was assumed 13

for large scale ESS System capacities were modelled by a power law based on present-day 14

values The assumptions for the market model are summarized in Table 7 and Table 8 and 15

shall be subject to discussion during the stakeholder meeting 16

224 Summary of the market sales forecast and estimation of the future 1

and past stock 2

As shown in sections 222 and 223 several drivers exist for the application of battery storage 3

systems in stationary and motive applications While the demand for battery capacity 4

generated by BEV and PHEV passenger cars was on the level of several GWh for 2017 the 5

ESS markets might still be below the 1 GWh mark in the EU 6

With respect to the increase of average battery capacity installed in different applications (see 7

Figure 22) and the growth rates for the sales of xEV and ESS (see sections 2223 and 8

2232) forecasts for the total new installations (including replacements) of batteries in the 9

EU28 are shown in Figure 23 See annex for further comments 10

11

Figure 22 Average system battery energy (kWh or MWh) forecast 12

It can be expected that the demand generated by sales and replacements in the EU28 will 13

amount to about 20 GWh by 2020 100 GWh by 2025 and more than 400 GWh by 2030 14

2010 to 2017 scenarios until 2025 to 2030 are presented including a meta-analysis of several 7

most recent market reports (eg [18ndash27]) Step by step the regional markets and markets by 8

applications will be specified 9

232 Market drivers and CO2 legislation [28] 10

Climate and energy policies are main drivers for the energy future and are expected to lead to 11

an increasing demand for energy storage in the mid and long term (see Figure 24) According 12

to the European Unionacutes decarbonization objective a reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) 13

emissions to 80 ndash 95 below 1990 levels should be achieved by 2050 14

In particular for the transport sector no full decarbonization is achieved [29] even in the longer 15

term (other sectors have to compensate with higher GHG reductions) The overall reduction 16

achieved in the transport sector by 2050 is only around 60 below 1990 levels The 17

increasing trend in emissions seen over the past 20 years is expected to reverse by the CO2 18

legislation From 2020 on the fleet average to be achieved by all new cars is 95 grams of CO2 19

per kilometer (compared to 130 gkm in 2015) 20

Many other governments world-wide have specified CO2 emission targets and are striving 21

towards a low carbon economy Particularly in the field of passenger and commercial vehicles 22

fuel consumption and emission targets have been installed which significantly drive the 23

introduction of battery or fuel cell powered electric vehicles Among these emission policies 24

the targets set by the EU are among the most ambitious (see Table 11) Meeting them will 25

require a significant share of electric vehicles 26

of the EU and other countries leading battery and electric mobility markets [30] 2

In this context electric mobility is gaining importance since electric vehicles especially plug-3

in hybrid and pure battery electric vehicles can help to achieve or fulfill these limits due to 4

improved CO2 footprints compared to conventional cars However for low CO2 footprints over 5

the lifetime of electric cars a high share of ldquolow carbonrdquo renewable energy sources (RES) in 6

the energy mix is needed and important (Figure 24 left side) 7

8

Figure 24 Climate and energy policies as drivers for future energy storage demand [28] 9

The EU Energy Roadmap 2050 [31 32] has shown across six scenarios that the 10

decarbonization goal can be achieved if the share of renewable energy sources (RES) among 11

the power generation capacity is high (gt 60 until 2050) for all scenarios Especially for the 12

high RES scenario the share of fluctuating energy generation (wind photovoltaic ndash PV) is the 13

strongest which has to be balanced Grid expansion andor flexibilization measures (eg 14

demand side management power to gas and vehicle to grid besides stationary battery 15

storage) are potential solutions Thus the high RES scenario is the most interesting scenario 16

with respect to a potential future demand for energy storage solutions (ESS) on local 17

distribution and transmission grid levels (Figure 24 right side) In order to have a significant 18

GHG reduction with EVs it will also be important to achieve the RES targets 19

233 The developing battery market 1

The total annual battery market is currently on the level of 45-60 billion Euro representing 2

approximately 400-500 GWh (including Lead-acid Lithium-Ion and other batteries) [33] 3

Lithium-ion batteries (LIB) have succeeded because of their high gravimetric and volumetric 4

energy densities and have a market share of about a third in terms of value among the whole 5

battery market The growth is driven by the decreasing cell costs of less than 170 eurokWh for a 6

standard cylindrical cell (lowest prices) approaching the 90 eurokWh mark in the next years This 7

cost degression is due to increasing capacity demand and production and thus due to scale 8

effects 9

Although the LIB market is drastically growing with annual growth rates of up to 30 percent 10

on average (in terms of battery capacity demand) the dominating battery technology in terms 11

of capacity however are still lead-acid batteries representing about 90 percent of the global 12

demand in volume around 2010 and 80 percent in 2017 13

14

15

Figure 25 Historical development of the global battery demand in GWh (left axis for NiCd 16

NiMH right axis for all other battery types grey total battery demand) [34] 17

Other mature battery technologies like NiCd (still partly used in power tools) and NiMH (still 18

used in hybrid electric vehicles HEV) are slowly declining and are expected to disappear from 19

the market in the next decade The diversification of future battery applications however will 20

also broaden the range of battery technologies Emerging technologies like Na-based Metal-21

Sulfur or Redox Flow batteries are developing and may lead to attractive solutions eg with 22

respect to cost and resource availability advantages However due to very strict requirements 23

on volumetric energy densities these technologies are expected to be relevant for stationary 24

or other special markets and less for the most significant electric vehicle market In general 25

each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses and none of them can satisfy all user 26

demands Hence a broader application-specific technology portfolio is urgently needed in 27

order to provide alternative technology solutions in the future 28

The extremely dynamic development of the global LIB demand will lead to the TWh level latest 29

around 2030 and grow further after 2030 Thus LIB will very soon transform into the 30

dominating energy storage technology 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

34

Figure 26 shows three different scenarios for the global demand for LIB between 2010 and 1

2030 (green curves) along with global production capacities (orange and blue curve)[33] 2

While at the beginning of the decade the demand and sales numbers followed the medium 3

growth rate trend scenario the market has been approaching the high growth rate scenario in 4

the last years This is mainly due to the strong engagement of politics and respective 5

regulation and subsidy programs for electric mobility As can be seen from the graph the 6

share of demand generated by motive applications is expected to significantly grow in the next 7

years and might account for more than one third of the total LIB demand by 2025 8

To face this increasing demand for LIB cells accordingly production capacities need to be 9

build up in the near future Based on the currently existing cell production capacities and the 10

global announcements from established and new cell producers until 2025 the LIB cell 11

production capacities (blue line in 12

Figure 26) have been identified Compared to 15 GWh added production capacity between 13

2013 and 2016 in the next years around 50 GWh will be added annually leading to around 14

700 GWh production capacities until 2025 (in the optimistic case see blue line in 15

Figure 26) The announcements include established players such as Panasonic (JP) LG 16

Chem (KR) Samsung (KR) SKI (KR) BYD (CN) Lishen (CN) CATL (CN) CALB (CN) 17

OPTIMUM (CN) and several further Chinese cell producers Also new players such as TerraE 18

(DE) Northvolt (SW) Boston Energy (US AU) Energy Absolute (Thailand) are included 19

while accounting for the different stages of expansion [20 27] 20

234 Battery markets by application 23

Diversification of applications for batteries 24

The above described global developments of battery demand and production strongly concern 25

high-energy lithium-ion batteries with the cell chemistries NMC NCA (Ni-rich and Co-reduced 26

cathodes) and SiC (high capacity SiC anodes with 5-10 or higher Si content) and cell 27

formats cylindrical (eg larger 21700 compared to standard 18650) large pouch or prismatic 28

cells The target is to develop and produce cells with improved gravimetric and volumetric 29

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

35

energy densities and reduced costs in order to meet the requirements of the automotive 1

industry Electric passenger cars are driving the demand and thus development of the battery 2

technology and these optimized and cost reduced batteries define the benchmark today and 3

in the future 4

LIB demand by applications 5

In Figure 27 the global LIB demand is broken down to the three main sectors for battery 6

demand which can be characterised each having different profiles of requirement 7

bull electric mobility or electric vehicles (EV including eg passenger cars light 8

commercial vehicles buses trucks scooters ebikes etc) 9

bull stationary energy storage systems (ESS) and 10

bull portable devices (3C ndash Computer Communication Consumer) 11

The LIB cell demand developed to almost 25 GWh in 2010 since the market introduction in 12

the early 1990s and dominantly resulted from portable devices In 2015 the cell demand of 13

about 70 GWh was distributed already almost 5050 between 3C and EV applications 14

15

Figure 27 Global LIB demand (in GWh and share in ) by segment [34] 16

Since 2015 the global LIB demand has increased with compound annual growth rates 17

(CAGR) of ~25 from about 70 GWh to about 110 GWh in 2017 The market for electric 18

vehicles currently grows with 30-40 (and more depending on the application and region) and 19

a diversification in applications (eg buses trucks other light to heavy commercial vehicles 20

marine applications drones etc) can be observed 21

With the diversification of future markets and applications cost sensitive markets will arise for 22

which optimized high-energy and cost reduced automotive cells of certain cell formats will be 23

used However also applications with stronger requirements on long lifetime high cycleability 24

fast charging capability safety etc will emerge and diffuse where cost is not the most 25

relevant factor and other battery technologies (ie cell chemistries formats) can provide a 26

unique selling proposition and hence lead to a product differentiation 27

2341 LIB markets for 3C applications 28

Portable devices (3C) have been the main applications for LIB cells in the past Power tools 29

medical devices and wearables are expected to be products with an emerging future market 30

for small LIB cells but with enormous quantities The price per kWh that can be stored plays a 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

36

less important role for these applications As far as charging is concerned technologies such 1

as energy harvesting and wireless charging are expected to be introduced in the future For 2

many markets and products such as household devices garden cleaning power tools other 3

mobile leisure applications etc today mostly cylindrical LIB cells of the format 18650 are used 4

With the introduction of 21700 cells also larger cylindrical cells become available now and are 5

expected to be used in diffuse in such applications Although different specific cell chemistries 6

might be suitable depending on the concrete application again it can be stated that the 3C 7

segment is expected to lead to a comparably small battery capacity demand compared to the 8

EV segment and will not be the limiting segment with respect to the risk of resource 9

dependencies 10

In the next few years growth rates of about 5 to 10 percent are expected for the 3C markets 11

while laptop battery demand is developing at lower growth rates and power tools medical 12

devices etc are supporting the growth rates for the battery demand 13

14

15

Figure 28 Demand and growth of the 3C LIB market [34] 16

2342 LIB markets for stationary (ESS) applications 17

Stationary energy storage systems (ESS) can be divided into different size classes with regard 18

to the capacity and charging times Both together decide on the application area (eg small 19

PV storage at home peak load to long-term storage) [35] Beyond that the price per kWh put 20

through over the lifetime is the economic key factor (as synthesized by the LCOE levelized 21

cost of energy) In contrast gravimetric and volumetric energy density plays a subordinate 22

role Due to that lead-acid batteries were often used as storage technology for off- and on-23

grid storage Currently LIBs are being established for commercial use and meanwhile reach 24

an annual demand of some few GWh Other electrochemical storage technologies such as 25

sodium-sulfur batteries are still used but the demand for LIB is strongly increasing for ESS It 26

is expected that 2nd life concepts for batteries that had their first life in electric vehicles will 27

gain importance together with market diffusion in the EV segment as the requirements on the 28

batteries are less demanding in the ESS segment This however will require the development 29

of according business models standardization etc The much broader available technology 30

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

37

portfolio for ESS applications the use of 2nd life batteries and the fact that electric vehicle 1

batteries that are connected to the grid on a large scale with higher market diffusion can be 2

regarded as stationary storage systems as well (vehicle to grid V2G grid to vehicle G2V) help 3

to reduce the risk of technological and resource dependencies in the future 4

The market for stationary storage applications (ESS) is experiencing growth rates of 20 to 30 5

percent depending on individual market forecasts (in the last years CAGR have even been on 6

the level of 60 but decrease with increasing size of the market see Figure 29) 7

The market is currently on a level of few GWh including applications from smaller PV storage 8

systems of 5-10 kWh to larger industrial and grid connected installations for own power 9

consumption peak shaving etc on the MWh level Regarding these growth rates LIB for ESS 10

applications rapidly gain importance as de-central storage solutions compared to the currently 11

dominating central pumped hydro storage (PHS) Forecasts to 2025 differ by size and expect 12

an ESS LIB demand between 20-50 GWh (partially higher eg in [23]) but all forecasts identify 13

high growth rates 14

15

Figure 29 Demand and growth of the ESS LIB market [34] 16

17

2343 LIB markets for electric vehicle applications 18

One of the biggest challenges for batteries for electric vehicles (EV including electric cars 19

buses trucks etc) apart from their price is the increase of their volumetric and gravimetric 20

energy density The volumetric energy density is even more important for OEM due to 21

restricted and fixed space and location of the battery in an electric vehicle A very relevant 22

parameter of a battery is its charging and discharging power in particular in continuous 23

operation It determines the fast-charging capability which is an important argument in the 24

use and the establishment on the market At the same time this sets limits to the high-25

performance operation since energy consumption is reduced to protect the battery from 26

damage This illustrates the conflicting effect of different parameters on the battery lifetime 27

Price volume weight and thus charge density as well as chargedischarge rate in terms of 28

usage and durability are the most urgent challenges for battery manufacturers 29

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

38

The market for EV batteries is currently at the level of about 50 GWh (including electric 1

passenger cars busses trucks ebikes scooter forklifts etc) Growth rates are at 20 to 40 2

percent and the demand for EV batteries will lead to a share of about 66 percent in 2020 76 3

percent until 2025 and 80 percent or higher in the long term Electric passenger cars (BEV 4

and PHEV) define the by far largest market within the EV segment and are clearly driving the 5

technology development of high energy Lithium-Ion or Lithium-based batteries in the future 6

7

Figure 30 Demand and growth of the EV LIB market [34] 8

9

Other motive (or stationary or portable) markets applications besides the highly competitive 10

electric passenger cars therefore can offer interesting growth markets also for smaller cell 11

producers beyond the large Japanese Korean and Chinese cell producers These markets or 12

applications very often define concrete requirements for the battery performance they require 13

an in depth understanding and design from the cell chemistry format to the modulepack and 14

system integration and they still vary strongly by region and are connected to individual system 15

integrators or OEM This is because each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses 16

and none of them can satisfy all userapplication demands Hence a broader application 17

specific technology portfolio is even urgently needed in order to provide alternative individual 18

technology solutions for these emerging marketsapplications 19

20

235 Market channels and production structure 21

2351 Global production capacities and major players 22

Since their commercialization in the 1990s LIB have been predominantly produced by 23

Japanese and Korean companies Driven by the Chinese government particularly cell 24

producers but also companies covering other steps of the LIB value creation chain have been 25

established in China Due to a policy of simultaneous support for LIB production as well as for 26

application markets and due to an extensive subsidy scheme a large share of LIB production 27

capacities is located in China today 28

Figure 31 Figure 32 Figure 33 and Figure 34 show the global LIB production capacities of 29

major cell producers in 2018 as well as forecasts for 2020 2025 and 2030 respectively [36] 30

The data is based on announcements made by the cell producers As discussed in section 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

39

233 the actual time-frame for the implementation of the capacity expansions is often delayed 1

with respect to the original announcements Hence minimum and maximum values for the 2

production capacities are given 3

Figure 34 Global LIB production capacities of major cell producers in 2030 [36] 2

Until 2030 the announced production capacities add up to more than 1 TWh In total there 3

are about 30 cell producers which have announced to build up production capacities of more 4

than 10 GWhyear which can be considered to be a threshold in order to be able to produce 5

at competitve costs [36] If the announced capacities are fully utilized the ldquobig 4rdquo (Panasonic 6

CATL LGC and BYD) will be able to fully cover the market demand (gt550 GWh) until 2025 7

2352 Europes position in the global battery value chain 8

In the EU several actors are positioned which cover production steps along the whole value 9

chain of LIBs starting from raw material production to production of cells and systems and 10

finally recycling However with respect to global markets only few organizations within the EU 11

have a market share of more than 1 in their specific segment eg BASF Germany in the 12

field of electrolyte production [30] 13

An overview about existing and active companies is given by the European Battery Alliance 14

(see Figure 35) Due to the presence of strong automotive OEM LIB pack manufacturing and 15

system integration is taking place on large scale in Europe A particular gap in the value chain 16

is present due to the lack of a large-scale cell production capable of serving the volumes and 17

prices required by the automotive industry 18

Several consortia are currently attempting to build up a European large scale cell 4

manufacturing such as Nothvolt (Sweden) with 32 GWh until 2023 or Saft (together with 5

Siemens and Manz) [39] Recently the German government announced plans for funding of 6

a Batterie-Cell-Alliance between Germany and Poland with cell production capacities in the 7

Regions Lausitz (Germany) and Westpoland [40 41] At the cross section between RampD and 8

large-scale production also a Research Production with 600 Mio EUR funding is foreseen 9

whereas the Fraunhofer Society should coordinate and run such a research production [42] 10

The announced funding from the German government sums up to 2 bn EUR 11

Given all these announced investments and production capacities to build up in the next years 12

the cell production capacities of European cell manufacturers could sum up to over 40 GWh 13

beyond 2025 In contrast main Asian cell manufacturer have already started with cell 14

production (eg LG SDI) or plan to build up production capacities until 2020 to 2025 In 15

concrete there are plans from [43ndash51] 16

17

bull CATL (China) to build 14 GWh in Germany Erfurt beyond 2020 18

bull LG Chem (Japan) to build 15 to 24 GWh (for 03 Mio EVs) in Poland beyond 2020 19

bull Samsung SDI (Japan) to build 10 to 15 GWh beyond 2020 in Hungary (including a 20

recent 5 GWh announcement for 21700 cells for Land Rover 21

bull SK Innovation (Japan) to build 75 GWh in Hungary beyond 2020 22

bull PanasonicTesla to build a (assumed 35GWh) Gigafactory in Europa around 2025 23

bull as well as from BYD (China) GS Yuasa (Japan) and Farasis (US) to build production 24

capacities between 2020 and 2025 25

26

The production capacities from Asian (or non-European) cell manufacturer might sum up to 27

well above 82-96 GWh by 2025 and including BYD GS Yuasa Farasis etc capacities far 28

above 100 GWh can be expected Together with the new EU cell producers this could easily 29

sum up towards the above mentioned 200 GWh demand in Europe But it also clearly indicates 30

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

44

the competition the emerging European players have to face (besides the fact that the plans 1

of the Asian companies are expected to be realized already several years earlier as those of 2

the novel EU companies) 3

2353 Product design trends and technological roadmap 4

Concerning the battery technology or type (by chemistry format etc) which will most likely 5

be produced to address this increasing demand the global roadmaps of cell producers are 6

basically similar Based on state-of-the art cell design (eg LFP NCA based ldquogeneration 1rdquo 7

and NMC111 to NMC532 ldquogeneration 2abrdquo Li-ion batteries) [52] and state-of-the-art 8

production equipment incremental improvements are expected in the next few years but with 9

the target to get to higher-energy lithium-ion batteries Concerning the electrolytes still liquid 10

electrolytes will be used but adopted to the changing electrode materials (eg with additives) 11

Current trends for layered oxide cathodes describe the development of Ni-rich (Co reduced) 12

materials (NMC) A few cell producers are already using NMC811 or comparable cathode 13

materials others are still adopting NMC622 (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3ardquo) On cathode 14

side maybe even lower-cost Mn-rich High Energy NMCs (HE-NMC) might be realized and 15

produced within ~10 years as Mn is cheaper than Ni (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3brdquo) On 16

anode side the trend is to incorporate Si-nano particles to make use of the alloying reaction 17

between Si and Li yielding a high capacitance This however comes at the cost of cycle life 18

Further down the road we might see higher Si contents (~20) 19

20

All-solid-state batteries are on the roadmap of many battery producers but also OEM (also 21

referred to as ldquogeneration 4rdquo) The key performance parameters (KPI) are suitable for electric 22

mobility (EV) Main challenges are indeed manufacturability particularly for ceramic solid state 23

electrolytes which promise to yield the highest advantages over state of the art technologies 24

The market introduction in niche applications is expected possible prior to the use in 25

automotive applications First all-solid-state batteries might not be competitive in terms of 26

energy density but safety properties Later on energy densities of 350-400 Whkg and higher 27

are expected 28

Other technologies (not marked in blue in the above figure) feature certain USPs compared to 4

Li-ion batteries but (according to the current level of knowledge) do not reach the necessary 5

KPIs in terms of energy density power density and cycling stability necessary for electric 6

mobility (these are marked in grey) USPs of these technologies can be cost resource 7

availability either volumetric or gravimetric energy density or others But often even 8

fundamental challenges are not solved yet (eg concerning the stability of materials and 9

electrochemical systems kinetics etc) 10

24 Consumer expenditure base data 2

241 General objective of subtask 24 and approach 3

Subtask 24 gives an overview about average production costs and consumer prices incl 4

VAT (for consumer prices streetprice) excl VAT (for B2B products) as well as an estimation 5

of repair and maintenance as well as installation and disposal costs 6

Due to their recent larger scale market introduction there is still little experience with 7

maintenance as well as disposal expenses Hence only estimations can be made based on 8

isolated sources 9

242 Development of LIB cell costs 10

As the core of LIB based energy storage systems the battery cell exhibits the highest cost 11

share During the last years particularly standardized 18650 format LIB cells have 12

experienced a steep cost learning curve benefiting from production scale effects but also 13

from technological advancements on material level increasing the energy density per volume 14

and weight and decreasing the amount of cost intense Cobalt-based components Compared 15

to this benchmark larger format LIB cells (Pouch prismatic) as are utilized in xEVs and ESS 16

predominantly feature lower energy densities at higher cost per kWh There are however no 17

principal limitations which would prevent a performance and cost development similar to what 18

was observed for cylindrical cells Figure 39 shows the cost learning curves for cylindrical as 19

well as larger format LIB cells [33] Today average costs for cells suitable for automotive use 20

are below 150 eurokWh (cylindrical) and around 200 eurokWh (Pouchprismatic) In specific cases 21

prices around 100 eurokWh have been reported already [53] It should however be noted that 22

with the current market situation LIB prices being below costs are not unlikely to occur 23

Until 2025 production costs of the different cell formats are expected to approach and fall 24

below the mark of 100 eurokWh between 2020 and 2025 Taking further developments on 25

material level into account costs around 60-100 eurokWh seam feasible past 2025 26

Figure 39 Cost learning curves for large LIB cells (cylindrical and Pouchprismatic) [33] 3

Similar cost learning curves have been observed for other battery technologies (see Figure 4

40) In principal cost degression can be limited by demand (compare NiCd) or by reaching 5

material cost limits (compare Pb) Also the diffusion of battery technologies in new markets 6

or applications can lead to further technological improvements and justify higher production 7

costs (compare deviation of NiMH Pb) Following the available data for LIB cells approx 100 8

$kWh (~89 eurokWh) are reached at a cumulative yearly production of 1TWh This mark is 9

expected to be reached between 2020 and 2030 10

Beyond 2030 LIB production costs are however expected to start deviating from this curve 11

due to limiting raw material prices 12

2432 ESS 7

According to recent end-customer price data provided in [55] for 2018 typical consumer prices 8

for small scale (~10 kWh) stationary home storage systems are between 5000 and 15000 9

Euros leading to a relative price of 800 to 1200 eurokWh It is expected that these system prices 10

will benefit from the growing battery markets (also xEV) since similar LIB cell types can be 11

applied in both application areas With respect to inverters and other system related costs the 12

smaller market volume of home ESS indicates lower economy of scale effects as compared 13

to cells 14

So far no comprehensive information on repair and maintenance costs for the battery system 17

of xEVs are available Due to still rather accommodating service policies repair or 18

replacement of batteries is so far often covered by the manufacturer 19

Value of recycled materials can be estimated 9

Three main scenarios possible after end of 1st life (xEV) 10

1 Disposal of batteries (eg separation of liquid and solid components hazardous waste 11

disposal) 12

2 Recycling of batteries and direct regeneration and re-use of cathode materials (2a) or 13

recovery of metals (2b) 14

3 2nd life in ESS applications under limited load (low DOD cycling low power) 15

16

Scenario 1 will add another component to battery costs scenario 2 and 3 could significantly 17

decrease the cost of batteries if energy efficient recycling methods can be developed or viable 18

2nd life business models are established 19

26 Annex 1

2611 Modelling of addressable markets for electric applications 2

Vehicle markets (in units of registrations in the EU28 per year) and ESS markets (in units of 3

number of installed home PV systems or in units of overall renewable (PV wind) electricity 4

generation in the EU28 per year) were modelled by exponential functions 5

119872119905119886119901119901(119905) = 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 6

With Mtapp(t) being the total market volume of an application M0 the market size in 2015 and 7

120591 times 119871119899(2) the time t necessary to double the initial market volume M0 M0 and Tau were chosen 8

to fit existing market data 9

119872119886119901119901(119905) = 119888 times 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 10

With Mapp(t) being the addressable market and c a factor equal or smaller than 1 Parameter 11

c lt 1 was chosen to take into account that not the whole existing market Mtapp might be 12

addressable by electric technologies Eg a share of vehicles primarily used for long distance 13

travel might not be addressable by BEV but by PHEV only 14

The market addressable for passenger PHEV (as a transition technology on the path to full 15

electric vehicles) was modelled as the difference of total vehicle sales and BEV sales 16

119872119875119867119864119881(119905) = 119888 times 119872119905119901119886119904119904119890119899119892119890119903(119905) minus 119878119861119864119881(119905) 17

The market addressable for passenger BEV was modelled like Mapp(t) with c lt 1 18

2612 Modelling of sales numbers of xEV and ESS 19

Yearly sales numbers Sapp(t) for the different applications were modelled by logistic growth 20

functions Logistic functions can model diffusion of technologies into existing markets with a 21

given market volume M The market volume can be a moving target M = M(t) The relative 22

change of sales numbers Srsquoapp(t)Sapp(t) is proportional to the market volume not yet 23

developed by a technology Mapp(t) ndash Sapp(t) 24

119878119886119901119901(119905) = 119872119886119901119901(119905) times1

1 + 119864119909119901(minus119872119886119901119901(119905) times (119905 minus 1199050)120591)(119872119886119901119901(119905)

119878119886119901119901(1199050)minus 1)

25

With Tau being a time constant and Sapp(t0) being the yearly sales number at year t0 (eg 26

2015) 27

Short time constants Tau of few years were used to model ESS sales Due to limitations of 28

the existing electricity grid to only buffer a certain share of fluctuating PV and wind generated 29

electricity the further expansion of renewable electricity generation might be strongly coupled 30

to ESS installations Hence ESS sales were modelled to closely follow the assumed 31

installations of renewable power in the limit of ldquovery fastrdquo market diffusion (120591 rarr 0) 32

2613 Modelling of battery system capacities 33

Battery capacities EBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws In 34

particular BEV battery capacities increased in the last years from 30 kWh in 2013 to more than 35

40 kWh in 2018 (EU sales and production averages) In the long term we expect BEV 36

capacities to converge towards a value sufficient to provide average driving ranges of some 37

100 km Battery capacity growth rates are hence supposed to slow down 38

119864119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198640 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 1

With E0 being the average battery capacity in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years and 2

b an exponent lt 1 The parameters were chosen to fit existing data 3

2614 Modelling of battery replacement rates 4

Battery replacement rates RrBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws 5

The replacement rate defines the share of batteries installed in year t that had to be replaced 6

within the lifetime of a system (xEV ESS) In particular for vehicles it is assumed that xEV 7

manufacturers currently install battery cells with a high lifetime and cyclability (several 8

thousand cycles) In the mid-term we expect that battery life and vehicle life (eg 200000 to 9

300000 km) will be matched by car manufacturers Assuming a constant vehicle lifetime 10

battery replacement rates are supposed to increase over time 11

119877119903119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198770 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 12

With R0 being the average replacement rate in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years 13

and b an exponent lt 1 At present there is no data available to fit the parameters Parameters 14

were estimated based on the usage profile and load of different applications 15

2615 Modelling of system lifetimes (xEV ESS) 16

System lifetimes Ltsystem(t) were assumed to be constant Ltsystem(t)= Ltsystem Parameters were 17

estimated based on manufacturer statements and typical lifetimes for combustion powered 18

vehicles 19

2616 Calculation of battery replacements 20

Battery replacements RpBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 21

calculated by assuming a uniform distribution of battery replacements over the lifetime 22

Ltsystem(i) of battery systems installed in year i 23

2617 Calculation of battery decommissions 25

Battery decommissions DcBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 26

assumed to happen coincident with the end of life of the systems (Ltsystem) they were installed 27

in in year i This neglects any second life usage in t gt i It was assumed that xEV or ESS 28

manufacturers will tune the battery lifetime to match the system lifetime (see 2614) 29

The yearly installed battery capacity Sbapp(t) in the EU28 was calculated as 32

119878119887119886119901119901(119905) = 119878119886119901119901(119905) times 119864119886119901119901119861119886119905119905(119905) + 119877119901119886119901119901

Figure 15 Forecast commercial xEV sales and battery capacity demand until 2050 2

223 Market stock and forecast for ESS in Europe 3

As discussed in Task 1 several stationary applications for batteries exist ranging from grid 4

support to home storage As will be shown in section 23 the demand for battery capacity 5

generated by ESS applications at present is rather small as compared to 3C and motive 6

markets There is no systematic registration of large scale or small scale stationary storage 7

systems in the EU Hence the market stock and volume for respective applications can only 8

be estimated based on indirect data 9

2231 Photovoltaic installations in the EU 10

Energy storage systems in combination with photovoltaic installations are one major 11

application for batteries both for private as well as commercial purposes Due to changes in 12

reimbursement and subsidy policy as well as the physical capability of the energy system to 13

buffer and process high shares of renewable energy the use of local energy storage systems 14

is becoming more and more popular There is no data on the share of PV installations 15

equipped with an energy storage system for the EU However on regional level some data is 16

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

20

available According to [10] approximately half of the PV systems with a peak power below 1

30 kW installed in Germany in 2017 have been equipped with an energy storage option 2

(amounting to about 30000 storage systems with a cumulative capacity of 400 MWh) 3

At present the installation of storage systems is strongly coupled to new installations of PV 4

systems As shown in Figure 16 with data on Germany the retrofit of existing PV installations 5

with storage systems is however expected to contribute significantly to the demand for battery 6

capacity in the PV segment in the future Within the forecast shown 50 of the sold storage 7

systems might be integrated into already existing PV-systems in 2030 8

9

Figure 16 PV installations and retrofit of existing PV installations in Germany Data and image 10

taken from [11] 11

Figure 17 shows the yearly installed PV power (MW) in the EU28 [12] A boom of PV 12

installations can clearly be observed for the years 2010 to 2012 mainly driven by installations 13

in Germany and Italy Likely as a result of changing subsidy policies the yearly installed PV 14

power has since then steadily decreased in both countries On the other hand a steady 15

increase in installations can be observed for the Netherlands and the UK In the forecast model 16

applied in [12] a slight increase in new installations is expected until 2021 driven by 17

installations in the UK and Portugal as well as member countries which so far do not have 18

any considerable PV installations Due to decreasing costs for solar panels and rather stable 19

remuneration rates this upward trend seems to be justified 20

Figure 17 PV installations in EU28 countries and forecast until 2020 Data taken from [12] 2

Based on the data given in [10] for Germany 80 of the installed PV systems can be attributed 3

to small or medium sized installations (average of 10 kWp) directly feeding into the low-voltage 4

grid In terms of power these systems amount to about 30 of the installations If equipped 5

with an energy storage system the average battery capacity amounts to 8 to 10 kWh [13] 6

Concerning installations in Europe it can be argued that there is a trend towards smaller roof-7

top systems for more densely populated and less sunny regions while in particular in the 8

southern European countries larger solar parks are favored Since no comprehensive data 9

covering the whole EU is available only a rough estimation for the demand of battery storage 10

systems and capacity can be made 11

Assuming that the number of smaller roof-top installations (30 of power) as well as the 12

number of systems equipped with an ESS (50 of installations lt 30 kWp) is above average 13

for Germany as compared to the rest of the EU the market data and forecasts given in [12] 14

and [11] would lead to a demand for battery capacity as summarized in Table 5 15

Table 5 Estimation of the demand for battery capacity generated by PV-home ESS systems 1

based on [11] and [12] for the EU28 2

Note that this estimation does not take into account ESS installations for larger scale (gt30 3

kWp) PV-installations 4

2232 Wind Turbine installations in the EU 5

Similar to section 2231 for PV installations Figure 18 shows data and forecasts for wind 6

turbine power installations in the EU28 [12] In contrast to PV installations wind turbine power 7

is almost exclusively attributed to larger scale wind parks We conclude that the use of small 8

scale ESS for the optimization of private energy consumption is therefore not driven by wind 9

power installations 10

Still the ongoing installation of wind turbine power in the EU28 might become a driver for large 11

scale decentralized energy storage systems however there is no market data available which 12

would allow for a battery demand forecast 13

respect to installed power and installed energy content (capacity) was assumed [14] 3

Table 6 lists larger scale (~MWh) stationary storage systems installed in the EU in 2017 [12] 4

80 of these installations are categorized as substation storage 6 relates to frequency 5

stabilization 5 to storage of wind-generated energy and 1 to storage of PV-generated 6

energy 7

Note that most of these installations are prototype or test facilities which does not allow to 8

use this application share as template for future market developments The total installed 9

capacity of 340 MWh in 2017 suggests that the market volume of large scale ESS is of the 10

same order of magnitude as that of home storage Note that the installed capacity for 2017 in 11

[14] is only 65 MWh It is however not stated in [12] whether the listed ESS projects are still in 12

construction or already operational 13

2234 Forecast ESS sales and stock EU28 2

The data presented in sections 2231 2232 and 2233 was used as an input for a forecast 3

model on large scale and home ESS 4

EU wide sales numbers and growth rates for PV coupled home storage systems were 5

extrapolated with declining growth rates for 2035 and beyond With respect to large scale ESS 6

it was assumed that the generation of electricity by renewable sources exceeding 17 (2015 7

value [15]) of the total electricity generation necessitates a certain amount of ESS buffer 8

capacity EU 2020 and 2030 targets [16 17] for the share of renewable electricity generation 9

were used as a forecast model The buffer capacity demand was estimated to be 70 of the 10

daily electrical energy generated by renewables exceeding the share of 17 11

A lifetime of 20 years with a replacement rate of 10 was assumed for home ESS and a 12

lifetime of 20 years with a battery replacement rate of 80 within this lifetime was assumed 13

for large scale ESS System capacities were modelled by a power law based on present-day 14

values The assumptions for the market model are summarized in Table 7 and Table 8 and 15

shall be subject to discussion during the stakeholder meeting 16

224 Summary of the market sales forecast and estimation of the future 1

and past stock 2

As shown in sections 222 and 223 several drivers exist for the application of battery storage 3

systems in stationary and motive applications While the demand for battery capacity 4

generated by BEV and PHEV passenger cars was on the level of several GWh for 2017 the 5

ESS markets might still be below the 1 GWh mark in the EU 6

With respect to the increase of average battery capacity installed in different applications (see 7

Figure 22) and the growth rates for the sales of xEV and ESS (see sections 2223 and 8

2232) forecasts for the total new installations (including replacements) of batteries in the 9

EU28 are shown in Figure 23 See annex for further comments 10

11

Figure 22 Average system battery energy (kWh or MWh) forecast 12

23 Market trends 3

231 General objective of subtask 23 and approach 4

The following chapter provides a comprehensive market overview on global battery sales 5

demand and players Starting with the market development of Lithium-ion batteries between 6

2010 to 2017 scenarios until 2025 to 2030 are presented including a meta-analysis of several 7

most recent market reports (eg [18ndash27]) Step by step the regional markets and markets by 8

applications will be specified 9

232 Market drivers and CO2 legislation [28] 10

Climate and energy policies are main drivers for the energy future and are expected to lead to 11

an increasing demand for energy storage in the mid and long term (see Figure 24) According 12

to the European Unionacutes decarbonization objective a reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) 13

emissions to 80 ndash 95 below 1990 levels should be achieved by 2050 14

In particular for the transport sector no full decarbonization is achieved [29] even in the longer 15

term (other sectors have to compensate with higher GHG reductions) The overall reduction 16

achieved in the transport sector by 2050 is only around 60 below 1990 levels The 17

increasing trend in emissions seen over the past 20 years is expected to reverse by the CO2 18

legislation From 2020 on the fleet average to be achieved by all new cars is 95 grams of CO2 19

per kilometer (compared to 130 gkm in 2015) 20

Many other governments world-wide have specified CO2 emission targets and are striving 21

towards a low carbon economy Particularly in the field of passenger and commercial vehicles 22

fuel consumption and emission targets have been installed which significantly drive the 23

introduction of battery or fuel cell powered electric vehicles Among these emission policies 24

the targets set by the EU are among the most ambitious (see Table 11) Meeting them will 25

require a significant share of electric vehicles 26

Table 11 Overview about fuel consumption and CO2-emission targets for passenger vehicles 1

of the EU and other countries leading battery and electric mobility markets [30] 2

In this context electric mobility is gaining importance since electric vehicles especially plug-3

in hybrid and pure battery electric vehicles can help to achieve or fulfill these limits due to 4

improved CO2 footprints compared to conventional cars However for low CO2 footprints over 5

the lifetime of electric cars a high share of ldquolow carbonrdquo renewable energy sources (RES) in 6

the energy mix is needed and important (Figure 24 left side) 7

8

Figure 24 Climate and energy policies as drivers for future energy storage demand [28] 9

The EU Energy Roadmap 2050 [31 32] has shown across six scenarios that the 10

decarbonization goal can be achieved if the share of renewable energy sources (RES) among 11

the power generation capacity is high (gt 60 until 2050) for all scenarios Especially for the 12

high RES scenario the share of fluctuating energy generation (wind photovoltaic ndash PV) is the 13

strongest which has to be balanced Grid expansion andor flexibilization measures (eg 14

demand side management power to gas and vehicle to grid besides stationary battery 15

storage) are potential solutions Thus the high RES scenario is the most interesting scenario 16

with respect to a potential future demand for energy storage solutions (ESS) on local 17

distribution and transmission grid levels (Figure 24 right side) In order to have a significant 18

GHG reduction with EVs it will also be important to achieve the RES targets 19

233 The developing battery market 1

The total annual battery market is currently on the level of 45-60 billion Euro representing 2

approximately 400-500 GWh (including Lead-acid Lithium-Ion and other batteries) [33] 3

Lithium-ion batteries (LIB) have succeeded because of their high gravimetric and volumetric 4

energy densities and have a market share of about a third in terms of value among the whole 5

battery market The growth is driven by the decreasing cell costs of less than 170 eurokWh for a 6

standard cylindrical cell (lowest prices) approaching the 90 eurokWh mark in the next years This 7

cost degression is due to increasing capacity demand and production and thus due to scale 8

effects 9

Although the LIB market is drastically growing with annual growth rates of up to 30 percent 10

on average (in terms of battery capacity demand) the dominating battery technology in terms 11

of capacity however are still lead-acid batteries representing about 90 percent of the global 12

demand in volume around 2010 and 80 percent in 2017 13

14

15

Figure 25 Historical development of the global battery demand in GWh (left axis for NiCd 16

NiMH right axis for all other battery types grey total battery demand) [34] 17

Other mature battery technologies like NiCd (still partly used in power tools) and NiMH (still 18

used in hybrid electric vehicles HEV) are slowly declining and are expected to disappear from 19

the market in the next decade The diversification of future battery applications however will 20

also broaden the range of battery technologies Emerging technologies like Na-based Metal-21

Sulfur or Redox Flow batteries are developing and may lead to attractive solutions eg with 22

respect to cost and resource availability advantages However due to very strict requirements 23

on volumetric energy densities these technologies are expected to be relevant for stationary 24

or other special markets and less for the most significant electric vehicle market In general 25

each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses and none of them can satisfy all user 26

demands Hence a broader application-specific technology portfolio is urgently needed in 27

order to provide alternative technology solutions in the future 28

The extremely dynamic development of the global LIB demand will lead to the TWh level latest 29

around 2030 and grow further after 2030 Thus LIB will very soon transform into the 30

dominating energy storage technology 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

34

Figure 26 shows three different scenarios for the global demand for LIB between 2010 and 1

2030 (green curves) along with global production capacities (orange and blue curve)[33] 2

While at the beginning of the decade the demand and sales numbers followed the medium 3

growth rate trend scenario the market has been approaching the high growth rate scenario in 4

the last years This is mainly due to the strong engagement of politics and respective 5

regulation and subsidy programs for electric mobility As can be seen from the graph the 6

share of demand generated by motive applications is expected to significantly grow in the next 7

years and might account for more than one third of the total LIB demand by 2025 8

To face this increasing demand for LIB cells accordingly production capacities need to be 9

build up in the near future Based on the currently existing cell production capacities and the 10

global announcements from established and new cell producers until 2025 the LIB cell 11

production capacities (blue line in 12

Figure 26) have been identified Compared to 15 GWh added production capacity between 13

2013 and 2016 in the next years around 50 GWh will be added annually leading to around 14

700 GWh production capacities until 2025 (in the optimistic case see blue line in 15

Figure 26) The announcements include established players such as Panasonic (JP) LG 16

Chem (KR) Samsung (KR) SKI (KR) BYD (CN) Lishen (CN) CATL (CN) CALB (CN) 17

OPTIMUM (CN) and several further Chinese cell producers Also new players such as TerraE 18

(DE) Northvolt (SW) Boston Energy (US AU) Energy Absolute (Thailand) are included 19

while accounting for the different stages of expansion [20 27] 20

234 Battery markets by application 23

Diversification of applications for batteries 24

The above described global developments of battery demand and production strongly concern 25

high-energy lithium-ion batteries with the cell chemistries NMC NCA (Ni-rich and Co-reduced 26

cathodes) and SiC (high capacity SiC anodes with 5-10 or higher Si content) and cell 27

formats cylindrical (eg larger 21700 compared to standard 18650) large pouch or prismatic 28

cells The target is to develop and produce cells with improved gravimetric and volumetric 29

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

35

energy densities and reduced costs in order to meet the requirements of the automotive 1

industry Electric passenger cars are driving the demand and thus development of the battery 2

technology and these optimized and cost reduced batteries define the benchmark today and 3

in the future 4

LIB demand by applications 5

In Figure 27 the global LIB demand is broken down to the three main sectors for battery 6

demand which can be characterised each having different profiles of requirement 7

bull electric mobility or electric vehicles (EV including eg passenger cars light 8

commercial vehicles buses trucks scooters ebikes etc) 9

bull stationary energy storage systems (ESS) and 10

bull portable devices (3C ndash Computer Communication Consumer) 11

The LIB cell demand developed to almost 25 GWh in 2010 since the market introduction in 12

the early 1990s and dominantly resulted from portable devices In 2015 the cell demand of 13

about 70 GWh was distributed already almost 5050 between 3C and EV applications 14

15

Figure 27 Global LIB demand (in GWh and share in ) by segment [34] 16

Since 2015 the global LIB demand has increased with compound annual growth rates 17

(CAGR) of ~25 from about 70 GWh to about 110 GWh in 2017 The market for electric 18

vehicles currently grows with 30-40 (and more depending on the application and region) and 19

a diversification in applications (eg buses trucks other light to heavy commercial vehicles 20

marine applications drones etc) can be observed 21

With the diversification of future markets and applications cost sensitive markets will arise for 22

which optimized high-energy and cost reduced automotive cells of certain cell formats will be 23

used However also applications with stronger requirements on long lifetime high cycleability 24

fast charging capability safety etc will emerge and diffuse where cost is not the most 25

relevant factor and other battery technologies (ie cell chemistries formats) can provide a 26

unique selling proposition and hence lead to a product differentiation 27

2341 LIB markets for 3C applications 28

Portable devices (3C) have been the main applications for LIB cells in the past Power tools 29

medical devices and wearables are expected to be products with an emerging future market 30

for small LIB cells but with enormous quantities The price per kWh that can be stored plays a 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

36

less important role for these applications As far as charging is concerned technologies such 1

as energy harvesting and wireless charging are expected to be introduced in the future For 2

many markets and products such as household devices garden cleaning power tools other 3

mobile leisure applications etc today mostly cylindrical LIB cells of the format 18650 are used 4

With the introduction of 21700 cells also larger cylindrical cells become available now and are 5

expected to be used in diffuse in such applications Although different specific cell chemistries 6

might be suitable depending on the concrete application again it can be stated that the 3C 7

segment is expected to lead to a comparably small battery capacity demand compared to the 8

EV segment and will not be the limiting segment with respect to the risk of resource 9

dependencies 10

In the next few years growth rates of about 5 to 10 percent are expected for the 3C markets 11

while laptop battery demand is developing at lower growth rates and power tools medical 12

devices etc are supporting the growth rates for the battery demand 13

14

15

Figure 28 Demand and growth of the 3C LIB market [34] 16

2342 LIB markets for stationary (ESS) applications 17

Stationary energy storage systems (ESS) can be divided into different size classes with regard 18

to the capacity and charging times Both together decide on the application area (eg small 19

PV storage at home peak load to long-term storage) [35] Beyond that the price per kWh put 20

through over the lifetime is the economic key factor (as synthesized by the LCOE levelized 21

cost of energy) In contrast gravimetric and volumetric energy density plays a subordinate 22

role Due to that lead-acid batteries were often used as storage technology for off- and on-23

grid storage Currently LIBs are being established for commercial use and meanwhile reach 24

an annual demand of some few GWh Other electrochemical storage technologies such as 25

sodium-sulfur batteries are still used but the demand for LIB is strongly increasing for ESS It 26

is expected that 2nd life concepts for batteries that had their first life in electric vehicles will 27

gain importance together with market diffusion in the EV segment as the requirements on the 28

batteries are less demanding in the ESS segment This however will require the development 29

of according business models standardization etc The much broader available technology 30

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

37

portfolio for ESS applications the use of 2nd life batteries and the fact that electric vehicle 1

batteries that are connected to the grid on a large scale with higher market diffusion can be 2

regarded as stationary storage systems as well (vehicle to grid V2G grid to vehicle G2V) help 3

to reduce the risk of technological and resource dependencies in the future 4

The market for stationary storage applications (ESS) is experiencing growth rates of 20 to 30 5

percent depending on individual market forecasts (in the last years CAGR have even been on 6

the level of 60 but decrease with increasing size of the market see Figure 29) 7

The market is currently on a level of few GWh including applications from smaller PV storage 8

systems of 5-10 kWh to larger industrial and grid connected installations for own power 9

consumption peak shaving etc on the MWh level Regarding these growth rates LIB for ESS 10

applications rapidly gain importance as de-central storage solutions compared to the currently 11

dominating central pumped hydro storage (PHS) Forecasts to 2025 differ by size and expect 12

an ESS LIB demand between 20-50 GWh (partially higher eg in [23]) but all forecasts identify 13

high growth rates 14

15

Figure 29 Demand and growth of the ESS LIB market [34] 16

17

2343 LIB markets for electric vehicle applications 18

One of the biggest challenges for batteries for electric vehicles (EV including electric cars 19

buses trucks etc) apart from their price is the increase of their volumetric and gravimetric 20

energy density The volumetric energy density is even more important for OEM due to 21

restricted and fixed space and location of the battery in an electric vehicle A very relevant 22

parameter of a battery is its charging and discharging power in particular in continuous 23

operation It determines the fast-charging capability which is an important argument in the 24

use and the establishment on the market At the same time this sets limits to the high-25

performance operation since energy consumption is reduced to protect the battery from 26

damage This illustrates the conflicting effect of different parameters on the battery lifetime 27

Price volume weight and thus charge density as well as chargedischarge rate in terms of 28

usage and durability are the most urgent challenges for battery manufacturers 29

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

38

The market for EV batteries is currently at the level of about 50 GWh (including electric 1

passenger cars busses trucks ebikes scooter forklifts etc) Growth rates are at 20 to 40 2

percent and the demand for EV batteries will lead to a share of about 66 percent in 2020 76 3

percent until 2025 and 80 percent or higher in the long term Electric passenger cars (BEV 4

and PHEV) define the by far largest market within the EV segment and are clearly driving the 5

technology development of high energy Lithium-Ion or Lithium-based batteries in the future 6

7

Figure 30 Demand and growth of the EV LIB market [34] 8

9

Other motive (or stationary or portable) markets applications besides the highly competitive 10

electric passenger cars therefore can offer interesting growth markets also for smaller cell 11

producers beyond the large Japanese Korean and Chinese cell producers These markets or 12

applications very often define concrete requirements for the battery performance they require 13

an in depth understanding and design from the cell chemistry format to the modulepack and 14

system integration and they still vary strongly by region and are connected to individual system 15

integrators or OEM This is because each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses 16

and none of them can satisfy all userapplication demands Hence a broader application 17

specific technology portfolio is even urgently needed in order to provide alternative individual 18

technology solutions for these emerging marketsapplications 19

20

235 Market channels and production structure 21

2351 Global production capacities and major players 22

Since their commercialization in the 1990s LIB have been predominantly produced by 23

Japanese and Korean companies Driven by the Chinese government particularly cell 24

producers but also companies covering other steps of the LIB value creation chain have been 25

established in China Due to a policy of simultaneous support for LIB production as well as for 26

application markets and due to an extensive subsidy scheme a large share of LIB production 27

capacities is located in China today 28

Figure 31 Figure 32 Figure 33 and Figure 34 show the global LIB production capacities of 29

major cell producers in 2018 as well as forecasts for 2020 2025 and 2030 respectively [36] 30

The data is based on announcements made by the cell producers As discussed in section 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

39

233 the actual time-frame for the implementation of the capacity expansions is often delayed 1

with respect to the original announcements Hence minimum and maximum values for the 2

production capacities are given 3

Figure 34 Global LIB production capacities of major cell producers in 2030 [36] 2

Until 2030 the announced production capacities add up to more than 1 TWh In total there 3

are about 30 cell producers which have announced to build up production capacities of more 4

than 10 GWhyear which can be considered to be a threshold in order to be able to produce 5

at competitve costs [36] If the announced capacities are fully utilized the ldquobig 4rdquo (Panasonic 6

CATL LGC and BYD) will be able to fully cover the market demand (gt550 GWh) until 2025 7

2352 Europes position in the global battery value chain 8

In the EU several actors are positioned which cover production steps along the whole value 9

chain of LIBs starting from raw material production to production of cells and systems and 10

finally recycling However with respect to global markets only few organizations within the EU 11

have a market share of more than 1 in their specific segment eg BASF Germany in the 12

field of electrolyte production [30] 13

An overview about existing and active companies is given by the European Battery Alliance 14

(see Figure 35) Due to the presence of strong automotive OEM LIB pack manufacturing and 15

system integration is taking place on large scale in Europe A particular gap in the value chain 16

is present due to the lack of a large-scale cell production capable of serving the volumes and 17

prices required by the automotive industry 18

Several consortia are currently attempting to build up a European large scale cell 4

manufacturing such as Nothvolt (Sweden) with 32 GWh until 2023 or Saft (together with 5

Siemens and Manz) [39] Recently the German government announced plans for funding of 6

a Batterie-Cell-Alliance between Germany and Poland with cell production capacities in the 7

Regions Lausitz (Germany) and Westpoland [40 41] At the cross section between RampD and 8

large-scale production also a Research Production with 600 Mio EUR funding is foreseen 9

whereas the Fraunhofer Society should coordinate and run such a research production [42] 10

The announced funding from the German government sums up to 2 bn EUR 11

Given all these announced investments and production capacities to build up in the next years 12

the cell production capacities of European cell manufacturers could sum up to over 40 GWh 13

beyond 2025 In contrast main Asian cell manufacturer have already started with cell 14

production (eg LG SDI) or plan to build up production capacities until 2020 to 2025 In 15

concrete there are plans from [43ndash51] 16

17

bull CATL (China) to build 14 GWh in Germany Erfurt beyond 2020 18

bull LG Chem (Japan) to build 15 to 24 GWh (for 03 Mio EVs) in Poland beyond 2020 19

bull Samsung SDI (Japan) to build 10 to 15 GWh beyond 2020 in Hungary (including a 20

recent 5 GWh announcement for 21700 cells for Land Rover 21

bull SK Innovation (Japan) to build 75 GWh in Hungary beyond 2020 22

bull PanasonicTesla to build a (assumed 35GWh) Gigafactory in Europa around 2025 23

bull as well as from BYD (China) GS Yuasa (Japan) and Farasis (US) to build production 24

capacities between 2020 and 2025 25

26

The production capacities from Asian (or non-European) cell manufacturer might sum up to 27

well above 82-96 GWh by 2025 and including BYD GS Yuasa Farasis etc capacities far 28

above 100 GWh can be expected Together with the new EU cell producers this could easily 29

sum up towards the above mentioned 200 GWh demand in Europe But it also clearly indicates 30

44

the competition the emerging European players have to face (besides the fact that the plans 1

of the Asian companies are expected to be realized already several years earlier as those of 2

the novel EU companies) 3

2353 Product design trends and technological roadmap 4

Concerning the battery technology or type (by chemistry format etc) which will most likely 5

be produced to address this increasing demand the global roadmaps of cell producers are 6

basically similar Based on state-of-the art cell design (eg LFP NCA based ldquogeneration 1rdquo 7

and NMC111 to NMC532 ldquogeneration 2abrdquo Li-ion batteries) [52] and state-of-the-art 8

production equipment incremental improvements are expected in the next few years but with 9

the target to get to higher-energy lithium-ion batteries Concerning the electrolytes still liquid 10

electrolytes will be used but adopted to the changing electrode materials (eg with additives) 11

Current trends for layered oxide cathodes describe the development of Ni-rich (Co reduced) 12

materials (NMC) A few cell producers are already using NMC811 or comparable cathode 13

materials others are still adopting NMC622 (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3ardquo) On cathode 14

side maybe even lower-cost Mn-rich High Energy NMCs (HE-NMC) might be realized and 15

produced within ~10 years as Mn is cheaper than Ni (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3brdquo) On 16

anode side the trend is to incorporate Si-nano particles to make use of the alloying reaction 17

between Si and Li yielding a high capacitance This however comes at the cost of cycle life 18

Further down the road we might see higher Si contents (~20) 19

20

All-solid-state batteries are on the roadmap of many battery producers but also OEM (also 21

referred to as ldquogeneration 4rdquo) The key performance parameters (KPI) are suitable for electric 22

mobility (EV) Main challenges are indeed manufacturability particularly for ceramic solid state 23

electrolytes which promise to yield the highest advantages over state of the art technologies 24

The market introduction in niche applications is expected possible prior to the use in 25

automotive applications First all-solid-state batteries might not be competitive in terms of 26

energy density but safety properties Later on energy densities of 350-400 Whkg and higher 27

are expected 28

Other technologies (not marked in blue in the above figure) feature certain USPs compared to 4

Li-ion batteries but (according to the current level of knowledge) do not reach the necessary 5

KPIs in terms of energy density power density and cycling stability necessary for electric 6

mobility (these are marked in grey) USPs of these technologies can be cost resource 7

availability either volumetric or gravimetric energy density or others But often even 8

fundamental challenges are not solved yet (eg concerning the stability of materials and 9

electrochemical systems kinetics etc) 10

24 Consumer expenditure base data 2

241 General objective of subtask 24 and approach 3

Subtask 24 gives an overview about average production costs and consumer prices incl 4

VAT (for consumer prices streetprice) excl VAT (for B2B products) as well as an estimation 5

of repair and maintenance as well as installation and disposal costs 6

Due to their recent larger scale market introduction there is still little experience with 7

maintenance as well as disposal expenses Hence only estimations can be made based on 8

isolated sources 9

242 Development of LIB cell costs 10

As the core of LIB based energy storage systems the battery cell exhibits the highest cost 11

share During the last years particularly standardized 18650 format LIB cells have 12

experienced a steep cost learning curve benefiting from production scale effects but also 13

from technological advancements on material level increasing the energy density per volume 14

and weight and decreasing the amount of cost intense Cobalt-based components Compared 15

to this benchmark larger format LIB cells (Pouch prismatic) as are utilized in xEVs and ESS 16

predominantly feature lower energy densities at higher cost per kWh There are however no 17

principal limitations which would prevent a performance and cost development similar to what 18

was observed for cylindrical cells Figure 39 shows the cost learning curves for cylindrical as 19

well as larger format LIB cells [33] Today average costs for cells suitable for automotive use 20

are below 150 eurokWh (cylindrical) and around 200 eurokWh (Pouchprismatic) In specific cases 21

prices around 100 eurokWh have been reported already [53] It should however be noted that 22

with the current market situation LIB prices being below costs are not unlikely to occur 23

Until 2025 production costs of the different cell formats are expected to approach and fall 24

below the mark of 100 eurokWh between 2020 and 2025 Taking further developments on 25

material level into account costs around 60-100 eurokWh seam feasible past 2025 26

Figure 39 Cost learning curves for large LIB cells (cylindrical and Pouchprismatic) [33] 3

Similar cost learning curves have been observed for other battery technologies (see Figure 4

40) In principal cost degression can be limited by demand (compare NiCd) or by reaching 5

material cost limits (compare Pb) Also the diffusion of battery technologies in new markets 6

or applications can lead to further technological improvements and justify higher production 7

costs (compare deviation of NiMH Pb) Following the available data for LIB cells approx 100 8

$kWh (~89 eurokWh) are reached at a cumulative yearly production of 1TWh This mark is 9

expected to be reached between 2020 and 2030 10

Beyond 2030 LIB production costs are however expected to start deviating from this curve 11

due to limiting raw material prices 12

2432 ESS 7

According to recent end-customer price data provided in [55] for 2018 typical consumer prices 8

for small scale (~10 kWh) stationary home storage systems are between 5000 and 15000 9

Euros leading to a relative price of 800 to 1200 eurokWh It is expected that these system prices 10

will benefit from the growing battery markets (also xEV) since similar LIB cell types can be 11

applied in both application areas With respect to inverters and other system related costs the 12

smaller market volume of home ESS indicates lower economy of scale effects as compared 13

to cells 14

244 Installation repair and maintenance costs 15

2441 xEV 16

So far no comprehensive information on repair and maintenance costs for the battery system 17

of xEVs are available Due to still rather accommodating service policies repair or 18

replacement of batteries is so far often covered by the manufacturer 19

Installation costs of home storage systems are estimated to be between 900 ndash 3500 euro [56] 2

245 LIB life-cycle disposal and recycling considerations 4

Will be added in a later review 5

2451 Second life and recycling considerations 6

Until today only pilot projects Strategy of automotive OEM regarding second life applications 7

is not known 8

Value of recycled materials can be estimated 9

Three main scenarios possible after end of 1st life (xEV) 10

1 Disposal of batteries (eg separation of liquid and solid components hazardous waste 11

disposal) 12

2 Recycling of batteries and direct regeneration and re-use of cathode materials (2a) or 13

recovery of metals (2b) 14

3 2nd life in ESS applications under limited load (low DOD cycling low power) 15

16

Scenario 1 will add another component to battery costs scenario 2 and 3 could significantly 17

decrease the cost of batteries if energy efficient recycling methods can be developed or viable 18

2nd life business models are established 19

26 Annex 1

2611 Modelling of addressable markets for electric applications 2

Vehicle markets (in units of registrations in the EU28 per year) and ESS markets (in units of 3

number of installed home PV systems or in units of overall renewable (PV wind) electricity 4

generation in the EU28 per year) were modelled by exponential functions 5

119872119905119886119901119901(119905) = 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 6

With Mtapp(t) being the total market volume of an application M0 the market size in 2015 and 7

120591 times 119871119899(2) the time t necessary to double the initial market volume M0 M0 and Tau were chosen 8

to fit existing market data 9

119872119886119901119901(119905) = 119888 times 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 10

With Mapp(t) being the addressable market and c a factor equal or smaller than 1 Parameter 11

c lt 1 was chosen to take into account that not the whole existing market Mtapp might be 12

addressable by electric technologies Eg a share of vehicles primarily used for long distance 13

travel might not be addressable by BEV but by PHEV only 14

The market addressable for passenger PHEV (as a transition technology on the path to full 15

electric vehicles) was modelled as the difference of total vehicle sales and BEV sales 16

119872119875119867119864119881(119905) = 119888 times 119872119905119901119886119904119904119890119899119892119890119903(119905) minus 119878119861119864119881(119905) 17

The market addressable for passenger BEV was modelled like Mapp(t) with c lt 1 18

2612 Modelling of sales numbers of xEV and ESS 19

Yearly sales numbers Sapp(t) for the different applications were modelled by logistic growth 20

functions Logistic functions can model diffusion of technologies into existing markets with a 21

given market volume M The market volume can be a moving target M = M(t) The relative 22

change of sales numbers Srsquoapp(t)Sapp(t) is proportional to the market volume not yet 23

developed by a technology Mapp(t) ndash Sapp(t) 24

119878119886119901119901(119905) = 119872119886119901119901(119905) times1

1 + 119864119909119901(minus119872119886119901119901(119905) times (119905 minus 1199050)120591)(119872119886119901119901(119905)

119878119886119901119901(1199050)minus 1)

25

With Tau being a time constant and Sapp(t0) being the yearly sales number at year t0 (eg 26

2015) 27

Short time constants Tau of few years were used to model ESS sales Due to limitations of 28

the existing electricity grid to only buffer a certain share of fluctuating PV and wind generated 29

electricity the further expansion of renewable electricity generation might be strongly coupled 30

to ESS installations Hence ESS sales were modelled to closely follow the assumed 31

installations of renewable power in the limit of ldquovery fastrdquo market diffusion (120591 rarr 0) 32

2613 Modelling of battery system capacities 33

Battery capacities EBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws In 34

particular BEV battery capacities increased in the last years from 30 kWh in 2013 to more than 35

40 kWh in 2018 (EU sales and production averages) In the long term we expect BEV 36

capacities to converge towards a value sufficient to provide average driving ranges of some 37

100 km Battery capacity growth rates are hence supposed to slow down 38

119864119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198640 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 1

With E0 being the average battery capacity in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years and 2

b an exponent lt 1 The parameters were chosen to fit existing data 3

2614 Modelling of battery replacement rates 4

Battery replacement rates RrBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws 5

The replacement rate defines the share of batteries installed in year t that had to be replaced 6

within the lifetime of a system (xEV ESS) In particular for vehicles it is assumed that xEV 7

manufacturers currently install battery cells with a high lifetime and cyclability (several 8

thousand cycles) In the mid-term we expect that battery life and vehicle life (eg 200000 to 9

300000 km) will be matched by car manufacturers Assuming a constant vehicle lifetime 10

battery replacement rates are supposed to increase over time 11

119877119903119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198770 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 12

With R0 being the average replacement rate in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years 13

and b an exponent lt 1 At present there is no data available to fit the parameters Parameters 14

were estimated based on the usage profile and load of different applications 15

2615 Modelling of system lifetimes (xEV ESS) 16

System lifetimes Ltsystem(t) were assumed to be constant Ltsystem(t)= Ltsystem Parameters were 17

estimated based on manufacturer statements and typical lifetimes for combustion powered 18

vehicles 19

2616 Calculation of battery replacements 20

Battery replacements RpBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 21

calculated by assuming a uniform distribution of battery replacements over the lifetime 22

Ltsystem(i) of battery systems installed in year i 23

119877119901119861119886119905119905(119905) = sum119877119903119861119886119905119905(119894) times 119878119886119901119901(119894) times 119864119861119886119905119905(119894)

24

2617 Calculation of battery decommissions 25

Battery decommissions DcBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 26

assumed to happen coincident with the end of life of the systems (Ltsystem) they were installed 27

in in year i This neglects any second life usage in t gt i It was assumed that xEV or ESS 28

manufacturers will tune the battery lifetime to match the system lifetime (see 2614) 29

2618 Calculation of yearly installed battery capacity 31

The yearly installed battery capacity Sbapp(t) in the EU28 was calculated as 32

119878119887119886119901119901(119905) = 119878119886119901119901(119905) times 119864119886119901119901119861119886119905119905(119905) + 119877119901119886119901119901

available According to [10] approximately half of the PV systems with a peak power below 1

30 kW installed in Germany in 2017 have been equipped with an energy storage option 2

(amounting to about 30000 storage systems with a cumulative capacity of 400 MWh) 3

At present the installation of storage systems is strongly coupled to new installations of PV 4

systems As shown in Figure 16 with data on Germany the retrofit of existing PV installations 5

with storage systems is however expected to contribute significantly to the demand for battery 6

capacity in the PV segment in the future Within the forecast shown 50 of the sold storage 7

systems might be integrated into already existing PV-systems in 2030 8

Figure 16 PV installations and retrofit of existing PV installations in Germany Data and image 10

taken from [11] 11

Figure 17 shows the yearly installed PV power (MW) in the EU28 [12] A boom of PV 12

installations can clearly be observed for the years 2010 to 2012 mainly driven by installations 13

in Germany and Italy Likely as a result of changing subsidy policies the yearly installed PV 14

power has since then steadily decreased in both countries On the other hand a steady 15

increase in installations can be observed for the Netherlands and the UK In the forecast model 16

applied in [12] a slight increase in new installations is expected until 2021 driven by 17

installations in the UK and Portugal as well as member countries which so far do not have 18

any considerable PV installations Due to decreasing costs for solar panels and rather stable 19

remuneration rates this upward trend seems to be justified 20

Figure 17 PV installations in EU28 countries and forecast until 2020 Data taken from [12] 2

Based on the data given in [10] for Germany 80 of the installed PV systems can be attributed 3

to small or medium sized installations (average of 10 kWp) directly feeding into the low-voltage 4

grid In terms of power these systems amount to about 30 of the installations If equipped 5

with an energy storage system the average battery capacity amounts to 8 to 10 kWh [13] 6

Concerning installations in Europe it can be argued that there is a trend towards smaller roof-7

top systems for more densely populated and less sunny regions while in particular in the 8

southern European countries larger solar parks are favored Since no comprehensive data 9

covering the whole EU is available only a rough estimation for the demand of battery storage 10

systems and capacity can be made 11

Assuming that the number of smaller roof-top installations (30 of power) as well as the 12

number of systems equipped with an ESS (50 of installations lt 30 kWp) is above average 13

for Germany as compared to the rest of the EU the market data and forecasts given in [12] 14

and [11] would lead to a demand for battery capacity as summarized in Table 5 15

2232 Wind Turbine installations in the EU 5

Similar to section 2231 for PV installations Figure 18 shows data and forecasts for wind 6

turbine power installations in the EU28 [12] In contrast to PV installations wind turbine power 7

is almost exclusively attributed to larger scale wind parks We conclude that the use of small 8

scale ESS for the optimization of private energy consumption is therefore not driven by wind 9

power installations 10

Still the ongoing installation of wind turbine power in the EU28 might become a driver for large 11

scale decentralized energy storage systems however there is no market data available which 12

would allow for a battery demand forecast 13

Note that most of these installations are prototype or test facilities which does not allow to 8

use this application share as template for future market developments The total installed 9

capacity of 340 MWh in 2017 suggests that the market volume of large scale ESS is of the 10

same order of magnitude as that of home storage Note that the installed capacity for 2017 in 11

[14] is only 65 MWh It is however not stated in [12] whether the listed ESS projects are still in 12

2234 Forecast ESS sales and stock EU28 2

The data presented in sections 2231 2232 and 2233 was used as an input for a forecast 3

model on large scale and home ESS 4

EU wide sales numbers and growth rates for PV coupled home storage systems were 5

extrapolated with declining growth rates for 2035 and beyond With respect to large scale ESS 6

it was assumed that the generation of electricity by renewable sources exceeding 17 (2015 7

value [15]) of the total electricity generation necessitates a certain amount of ESS buffer 8

capacity EU 2020 and 2030 targets [16 17] for the share of renewable electricity generation 9

were used as a forecast model The buffer capacity demand was estimated to be 70 of the 10

daily electrical energy generated by renewables exceeding the share of 17 11

A lifetime of 20 years with a replacement rate of 10 was assumed for home ESS and a 12

lifetime of 20 years with a battery replacement rate of 80 within this lifetime was assumed 13

for large scale ESS System capacities were modelled by a power law based on present-day 14

values The assumptions for the market model are summarized in Table 7 and Table 8 and 15

shall be subject to discussion during the stakeholder meeting 16

224 Summary of the market sales forecast and estimation of the future 1

and past stock 2

As shown in sections 222 and 223 several drivers exist for the application of battery storage 3

systems in stationary and motive applications While the demand for battery capacity 4

generated by BEV and PHEV passenger cars was on the level of several GWh for 2017 the 5

ESS markets might still be below the 1 GWh mark in the EU 6

With respect to the increase of average battery capacity installed in different applications (see 7

Figure 22) and the growth rates for the sales of xEV and ESS (see sections 2223 and 8

2232) forecasts for the total new installations (including replacements) of batteries in the 9

EU28 are shown in Figure 23 See annex for further comments 10

11

Figure 22 Average system battery energy (kWh or MWh) forecast 12

It can be expected that the demand generated by sales and replacements in the EU28 will 13

amount to about 20 GWh by 2020 100 GWh by 2025 and more than 400 GWh by 2030 14

23 Market trends 3

231 General objective of subtask 23 and approach 4

The following chapter provides a comprehensive market overview on global battery sales 5

demand and players Starting with the market development of Lithium-ion batteries between 6

2010 to 2017 scenarios until 2025 to 2030 are presented including a meta-analysis of several 7

most recent market reports (eg [18ndash27]) Step by step the regional markets and markets by 8

applications will be specified 9

232 Market drivers and CO2 legislation [28] 10

Climate and energy policies are main drivers for the energy future and are expected to lead to 11

an increasing demand for energy storage in the mid and long term (see Figure 24) According 12

to the European Unionacutes decarbonization objective a reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) 13

emissions to 80 ndash 95 below 1990 levels should be achieved by 2050 14

In particular for the transport sector no full decarbonization is achieved [29] even in the longer 15

term (other sectors have to compensate with higher GHG reductions) The overall reduction 16

achieved in the transport sector by 2050 is only around 60 below 1990 levels The 17

increasing trend in emissions seen over the past 20 years is expected to reverse by the CO2 18

legislation From 2020 on the fleet average to be achieved by all new cars is 95 grams of CO2 19

per kilometer (compared to 130 gkm in 2015) 20

Many other governments world-wide have specified CO2 emission targets and are striving 21

towards a low carbon economy Particularly in the field of passenger and commercial vehicles 22

fuel consumption and emission targets have been installed which significantly drive the 23

introduction of battery or fuel cell powered electric vehicles Among these emission policies 24

the targets set by the EU are among the most ambitious (see Table 11) Meeting them will 25

require a significant share of electric vehicles 26

Table 11 Overview about fuel consumption and CO2-emission targets for passenger vehicles 1

of the EU and other countries leading battery and electric mobility markets [30] 2

In this context electric mobility is gaining importance since electric vehicles especially plug-3

in hybrid and pure battery electric vehicles can help to achieve or fulfill these limits due to 4

improved CO2 footprints compared to conventional cars However for low CO2 footprints over 5

the lifetime of electric cars a high share of ldquolow carbonrdquo renewable energy sources (RES) in 6

the energy mix is needed and important (Figure 24 left side) 7

8

Figure 24 Climate and energy policies as drivers for future energy storage demand [28] 9

The EU Energy Roadmap 2050 [31 32] has shown across six scenarios that the 10

decarbonization goal can be achieved if the share of renewable energy sources (RES) among 11

the power generation capacity is high (gt 60 until 2050) for all scenarios Especially for the 12

high RES scenario the share of fluctuating energy generation (wind photovoltaic ndash PV) is the 13

strongest which has to be balanced Grid expansion andor flexibilization measures (eg 14

demand side management power to gas and vehicle to grid besides stationary battery 15

storage) are potential solutions Thus the high RES scenario is the most interesting scenario 16

with respect to a potential future demand for energy storage solutions (ESS) on local 17

distribution and transmission grid levels (Figure 24 right side) In order to have a significant 18

GHG reduction with EVs it will also be important to achieve the RES targets 19

233 The developing battery market 1

The total annual battery market is currently on the level of 45-60 billion Euro representing 2

approximately 400-500 GWh (including Lead-acid Lithium-Ion and other batteries) [33] 3

Lithium-ion batteries (LIB) have succeeded because of their high gravimetric and volumetric 4

energy densities and have a market share of about a third in terms of value among the whole 5

battery market The growth is driven by the decreasing cell costs of less than 170 eurokWh for a 6

standard cylindrical cell (lowest prices) approaching the 90 eurokWh mark in the next years This 7

cost degression is due to increasing capacity demand and production and thus due to scale 8

effects 9

Although the LIB market is drastically growing with annual growth rates of up to 30 percent 10

on average (in terms of battery capacity demand) the dominating battery technology in terms 11

of capacity however are still lead-acid batteries representing about 90 percent of the global 12

demand in volume around 2010 and 80 percent in 2017 13

14

15

Figure 25 Historical development of the global battery demand in GWh (left axis for NiCd 16

NiMH right axis for all other battery types grey total battery demand) [34] 17

Other mature battery technologies like NiCd (still partly used in power tools) and NiMH (still 18

used in hybrid electric vehicles HEV) are slowly declining and are expected to disappear from 19

the market in the next decade The diversification of future battery applications however will 20

also broaden the range of battery technologies Emerging technologies like Na-based Metal-21

Sulfur or Redox Flow batteries are developing and may lead to attractive solutions eg with 22

respect to cost and resource availability advantages However due to very strict requirements 23

on volumetric energy densities these technologies are expected to be relevant for stationary 24

or other special markets and less for the most significant electric vehicle market In general 25

each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses and none of them can satisfy all user 26

demands Hence a broader application-specific technology portfolio is urgently needed in 27

order to provide alternative technology solutions in the future 28

The extremely dynamic development of the global LIB demand will lead to the TWh level latest 29

around 2030 and grow further after 2030 Thus LIB will very soon transform into the 30

dominating energy storage technology 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

34

Figure 26 shows three different scenarios for the global demand for LIB between 2010 and 1

2030 (green curves) along with global production capacities (orange and blue curve)[33] 2

While at the beginning of the decade the demand and sales numbers followed the medium 3

growth rate trend scenario the market has been approaching the high growth rate scenario in 4

the last years This is mainly due to the strong engagement of politics and respective 5

regulation and subsidy programs for electric mobility As can be seen from the graph the 6

share of demand generated by motive applications is expected to significantly grow in the next 7

years and might account for more than one third of the total LIB demand by 2025 8

To face this increasing demand for LIB cells accordingly production capacities need to be 9

build up in the near future Based on the currently existing cell production capacities and the 10

global announcements from established and new cell producers until 2025 the LIB cell 11

production capacities (blue line in 12

Figure 26) have been identified Compared to 15 GWh added production capacity between 13

2013 and 2016 in the next years around 50 GWh will be added annually leading to around 14

700 GWh production capacities until 2025 (in the optimistic case see blue line in 15

Figure 26) The announcements include established players such as Panasonic (JP) LG 16

Chem (KR) Samsung (KR) SKI (KR) BYD (CN) Lishen (CN) CATL (CN) CALB (CN) 17

OPTIMUM (CN) and several further Chinese cell producers Also new players such as TerraE 18

(DE) Northvolt (SW) Boston Energy (US AU) Energy Absolute (Thailand) are included 19

while accounting for the different stages of expansion [20 27] 20

21

234 Battery markets by application 23

Diversification of applications for batteries 24

The above described global developments of battery demand and production strongly concern 25

high-energy lithium-ion batteries with the cell chemistries NMC NCA (Ni-rich and Co-reduced 26

cathodes) and SiC (high capacity SiC anodes with 5-10 or higher Si content) and cell 27

formats cylindrical (eg larger 21700 compared to standard 18650) large pouch or prismatic 28

cells The target is to develop and produce cells with improved gravimetric and volumetric 29

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

35

energy densities and reduced costs in order to meet the requirements of the automotive 1

industry Electric passenger cars are driving the demand and thus development of the battery 2

technology and these optimized and cost reduced batteries define the benchmark today and 3

in the future 4

LIB demand by applications 5

In Figure 27 the global LIB demand is broken down to the three main sectors for battery 6

demand which can be characterised each having different profiles of requirement 7

bull electric mobility or electric vehicles (EV including eg passenger cars light 8

commercial vehicles buses trucks scooters ebikes etc) 9

bull stationary energy storage systems (ESS) and 10

bull portable devices (3C ndash Computer Communication Consumer) 11

The LIB cell demand developed to almost 25 GWh in 2010 since the market introduction in 12

the early 1990s and dominantly resulted from portable devices In 2015 the cell demand of 13

about 70 GWh was distributed already almost 5050 between 3C and EV applications 14

15

Figure 27 Global LIB demand (in GWh and share in ) by segment [34] 16

Since 2015 the global LIB demand has increased with compound annual growth rates 17

(CAGR) of ~25 from about 70 GWh to about 110 GWh in 2017 The market for electric 18

vehicles currently grows with 30-40 (and more depending on the application and region) and 19

a diversification in applications (eg buses trucks other light to heavy commercial vehicles 20

marine applications drones etc) can be observed 21

With the diversification of future markets and applications cost sensitive markets will arise for 22

which optimized high-energy and cost reduced automotive cells of certain cell formats will be 23

used However also applications with stronger requirements on long lifetime high cycleability 24

fast charging capability safety etc will emerge and diffuse where cost is not the most 25

relevant factor and other battery technologies (ie cell chemistries formats) can provide a 26

unique selling proposition and hence lead to a product differentiation 27

2341 LIB markets for 3C applications 28

Portable devices (3C) have been the main applications for LIB cells in the past Power tools 29

medical devices and wearables are expected to be products with an emerging future market 30

for small LIB cells but with enormous quantities The price per kWh that can be stored plays a 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

36

less important role for these applications As far as charging is concerned technologies such 1

as energy harvesting and wireless charging are expected to be introduced in the future For 2

many markets and products such as household devices garden cleaning power tools other 3

mobile leisure applications etc today mostly cylindrical LIB cells of the format 18650 are used 4

With the introduction of 21700 cells also larger cylindrical cells become available now and are 5

expected to be used in diffuse in such applications Although different specific cell chemistries 6

might be suitable depending on the concrete application again it can be stated that the 3C 7

segment is expected to lead to a comparably small battery capacity demand compared to the 8

EV segment and will not be the limiting segment with respect to the risk of resource 9

dependencies 10

In the next few years growth rates of about 5 to 10 percent are expected for the 3C markets 11

while laptop battery demand is developing at lower growth rates and power tools medical 12

devices etc are supporting the growth rates for the battery demand 13

2342 LIB markets for stationary (ESS) applications 17

Stationary energy storage systems (ESS) can be divided into different size classes with regard 18

to the capacity and charging times Both together decide on the application area (eg small 19

PV storage at home peak load to long-term storage) [35] Beyond that the price per kWh put 20

through over the lifetime is the economic key factor (as synthesized by the LCOE levelized 21

cost of energy) In contrast gravimetric and volumetric energy density plays a subordinate 22

role Due to that lead-acid batteries were often used as storage technology for off- and on-23

grid storage Currently LIBs are being established for commercial use and meanwhile reach 24

an annual demand of some few GWh Other electrochemical storage technologies such as 25

sodium-sulfur batteries are still used but the demand for LIB is strongly increasing for ESS It 26

is expected that 2nd life concepts for batteries that had their first life in electric vehicles will 27

gain importance together with market diffusion in the EV segment as the requirements on the 28

batteries are less demanding in the ESS segment This however will require the development 29

of according business models standardization etc The much broader available technology 30

37

portfolio for ESS applications the use of 2nd life batteries and the fact that electric vehicle 1

batteries that are connected to the grid on a large scale with higher market diffusion can be 2

regarded as stationary storage systems as well (vehicle to grid V2G grid to vehicle G2V) help 3

to reduce the risk of technological and resource dependencies in the future 4

The market for stationary storage applications (ESS) is experiencing growth rates of 20 to 30 5

percent depending on individual market forecasts (in the last years CAGR have even been on 6

the level of 60 but decrease with increasing size of the market see Figure 29) 7

The market is currently on a level of few GWh including applications from smaller PV storage 8

systems of 5-10 kWh to larger industrial and grid connected installations for own power 9

consumption peak shaving etc on the MWh level Regarding these growth rates LIB for ESS 10

applications rapidly gain importance as de-central storage solutions compared to the currently 11

dominating central pumped hydro storage (PHS) Forecasts to 2025 differ by size and expect 12

an ESS LIB demand between 20-50 GWh (partially higher eg in [23]) but all forecasts identify 13

high growth rates 14

2343 LIB markets for electric vehicle applications 18

One of the biggest challenges for batteries for electric vehicles (EV including electric cars 19

buses trucks etc) apart from their price is the increase of their volumetric and gravimetric 20

energy density The volumetric energy density is even more important for OEM due to 21

restricted and fixed space and location of the battery in an electric vehicle A very relevant 22

parameter of a battery is its charging and discharging power in particular in continuous 23

operation It determines the fast-charging capability which is an important argument in the 24

use and the establishment on the market At the same time this sets limits to the high-25

performance operation since energy consumption is reduced to protect the battery from 26

damage This illustrates the conflicting effect of different parameters on the battery lifetime 27

Price volume weight and thus charge density as well as chargedischarge rate in terms of 28

usage and durability are the most urgent challenges for battery manufacturers 29

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

38

The market for EV batteries is currently at the level of about 50 GWh (including electric 1

passenger cars busses trucks ebikes scooter forklifts etc) Growth rates are at 20 to 40 2

percent and the demand for EV batteries will lead to a share of about 66 percent in 2020 76 3

percent until 2025 and 80 percent or higher in the long term Electric passenger cars (BEV 4

and PHEV) define the by far largest market within the EV segment and are clearly driving the 5

technology development of high energy Lithium-Ion or Lithium-based batteries in the future 6

7

Figure 30 Demand and growth of the EV LIB market [34] 8

9

Other motive (or stationary or portable) markets applications besides the highly competitive 10

electric passenger cars therefore can offer interesting growth markets also for smaller cell 11

producers beyond the large Japanese Korean and Chinese cell producers These markets or 12

applications very often define concrete requirements for the battery performance they require 13

an in depth understanding and design from the cell chemistry format to the modulepack and 14

system integration and they still vary strongly by region and are connected to individual system 15

integrators or OEM This is because each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses 16

and none of them can satisfy all userapplication demands Hence a broader application 17

specific technology portfolio is even urgently needed in order to provide alternative individual 18

technology solutions for these emerging marketsapplications 19

20

235 Market channels and production structure 21

2351 Global production capacities and major players 22

Since their commercialization in the 1990s LIB have been predominantly produced by 23

Japanese and Korean companies Driven by the Chinese government particularly cell 24

producers but also companies covering other steps of the LIB value creation chain have been 25

established in China Due to a policy of simultaneous support for LIB production as well as for 26

application markets and due to an extensive subsidy scheme a large share of LIB production 27

capacities is located in China today 28

Figure 31 Figure 32 Figure 33 and Figure 34 show the global LIB production capacities of 29

major cell producers in 2018 as well as forecasts for 2020 2025 and 2030 respectively [36] 30

The data is based on announcements made by the cell producers As discussed in section 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

39

233 the actual time-frame for the implementation of the capacity expansions is often delayed 1

with respect to the original announcements Hence minimum and maximum values for the 2

production capacities are given 3

Figure 34 Global LIB production capacities of major cell producers in 2030 [36] 2

Until 2030 the announced production capacities add up to more than 1 TWh In total there 3

are about 30 cell producers which have announced to build up production capacities of more 4

than 10 GWhyear which can be considered to be a threshold in order to be able to produce 5

at competitve costs [36] If the announced capacities are fully utilized the ldquobig 4rdquo (Panasonic 6

CATL LGC and BYD) will be able to fully cover the market demand (gt550 GWh) until 2025 7

2352 Europes position in the global battery value chain 8

In the EU several actors are positioned which cover production steps along the whole value 9

chain of LIBs starting from raw material production to production of cells and systems and 10

finally recycling However with respect to global markets only few organizations within the EU 11

have a market share of more than 1 in their specific segment eg BASF Germany in the 12

field of electrolyte production [30] 13

An overview about existing and active companies is given by the European Battery Alliance 14

(see Figure 35) Due to the presence of strong automotive OEM LIB pack manufacturing and 15

system integration is taking place on large scale in Europe A particular gap in the value chain 16

is present due to the lack of a large-scale cell production capable of serving the volumes and 17

prices required by the automotive industry 18

3

Several consortia are currently attempting to build up a European large scale cell 4

manufacturing such as Nothvolt (Sweden) with 32 GWh until 2023 or Saft (together with 5

Siemens and Manz) [39] Recently the German government announced plans for funding of 6

a Batterie-Cell-Alliance between Germany and Poland with cell production capacities in the 7

Regions Lausitz (Germany) and Westpoland [40 41] At the cross section between RampD and 8

large-scale production also a Research Production with 600 Mio EUR funding is foreseen 9

whereas the Fraunhofer Society should coordinate and run such a research production [42] 10

The announced funding from the German government sums up to 2 bn EUR 11

Given all these announced investments and production capacities to build up in the next years 12

the cell production capacities of European cell manufacturers could sum up to over 40 GWh 13

beyond 2025 In contrast main Asian cell manufacturer have already started with cell 14

production (eg LG SDI) or plan to build up production capacities until 2020 to 2025 In 15

concrete there are plans from [43ndash51] 16

17

bull CATL (China) to build 14 GWh in Germany Erfurt beyond 2020 18

bull LG Chem (Japan) to build 15 to 24 GWh (for 03 Mio EVs) in Poland beyond 2020 19

bull Samsung SDI (Japan) to build 10 to 15 GWh beyond 2020 in Hungary (including a 20

recent 5 GWh announcement for 21700 cells for Land Rover 21

bull SK Innovation (Japan) to build 75 GWh in Hungary beyond 2020 22

bull PanasonicTesla to build a (assumed 35GWh) Gigafactory in Europa around 2025 23

bull as well as from BYD (China) GS Yuasa (Japan) and Farasis (US) to build production 24

capacities between 2020 and 2025 25

26

The production capacities from Asian (or non-European) cell manufacturer might sum up to 27

well above 82-96 GWh by 2025 and including BYD GS Yuasa Farasis etc capacities far 28

above 100 GWh can be expected Together with the new EU cell producers this could easily 29

sum up towards the above mentioned 200 GWh demand in Europe But it also clearly indicates 30

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

44

the competition the emerging European players have to face (besides the fact that the plans 1

of the Asian companies are expected to be realized already several years earlier as those of 2

the novel EU companies) 3

2353 Product design trends and technological roadmap 4

Concerning the battery technology or type (by chemistry format etc) which will most likely 5

be produced to address this increasing demand the global roadmaps of cell producers are 6

basically similar Based on state-of-the art cell design (eg LFP NCA based ldquogeneration 1rdquo 7

and NMC111 to NMC532 ldquogeneration 2abrdquo Li-ion batteries) [52] and state-of-the-art 8

production equipment incremental improvements are expected in the next few years but with 9

the target to get to higher-energy lithium-ion batteries Concerning the electrolytes still liquid 10

electrolytes will be used but adopted to the changing electrode materials (eg with additives) 11

Current trends for layered oxide cathodes describe the development of Ni-rich (Co reduced) 12

materials (NMC) A few cell producers are already using NMC811 or comparable cathode 13

materials others are still adopting NMC622 (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3ardquo) On cathode 14

side maybe even lower-cost Mn-rich High Energy NMCs (HE-NMC) might be realized and 15

produced within ~10 years as Mn is cheaper than Ni (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3brdquo) On 16

anode side the trend is to incorporate Si-nano particles to make use of the alloying reaction 17

between Si and Li yielding a high capacitance This however comes at the cost of cycle life 18

Further down the road we might see higher Si contents (~20) 19

20

All-solid-state batteries are on the roadmap of many battery producers but also OEM (also 21

referred to as ldquogeneration 4rdquo) The key performance parameters (KPI) are suitable for electric 22

mobility (EV) Main challenges are indeed manufacturability particularly for ceramic solid state 23

electrolytes which promise to yield the highest advantages over state of the art technologies 24

The market introduction in niche applications is expected possible prior to the use in 25

automotive applications First all-solid-state batteries might not be competitive in terms of 26

energy density but safety properties Later on energy densities of 350-400 Whkg and higher 27

are expected 28

Li-ion batteries but (according to the current level of knowledge) do not reach the necessary 5

KPIs in terms of energy density power density and cycling stability necessary for electric 6

mobility (these are marked in grey) USPs of these technologies can be cost resource 7

availability either volumetric or gravimetric energy density or others But often even 8

fundamental challenges are not solved yet (eg concerning the stability of materials and 9

electrochemical systems kinetics etc) 10

24 Consumer expenditure base data 2

241 General objective of subtask 24 and approach 3

Subtask 24 gives an overview about average production costs and consumer prices incl 4

VAT (for consumer prices streetprice) excl VAT (for B2B products) as well as an estimation 5

of repair and maintenance as well as installation and disposal costs 6

Due to their recent larger scale market introduction there is still little experience with 7

maintenance as well as disposal expenses Hence only estimations can be made based on 8

isolated sources 9

242 Development of LIB cell costs 10

As the core of LIB based energy storage systems the battery cell exhibits the highest cost 11

share During the last years particularly standardized 18650 format LIB cells have 12

experienced a steep cost learning curve benefiting from production scale effects but also 13

from technological advancements on material level increasing the energy density per volume 14

and weight and decreasing the amount of cost intense Cobalt-based components Compared 15

to this benchmark larger format LIB cells (Pouch prismatic) as are utilized in xEVs and ESS 16

predominantly feature lower energy densities at higher cost per kWh There are however no 17

principal limitations which would prevent a performance and cost development similar to what 18

was observed for cylindrical cells Figure 39 shows the cost learning curves for cylindrical as 19

well as larger format LIB cells [33] Today average costs for cells suitable for automotive use 20

are below 150 eurokWh (cylindrical) and around 200 eurokWh (Pouchprismatic) In specific cases 21

prices around 100 eurokWh have been reported already [53] It should however be noted that 22

with the current market situation LIB prices being below costs are not unlikely to occur 23

Until 2025 production costs of the different cell formats are expected to approach and fall 24

below the mark of 100 eurokWh between 2020 and 2025 Taking further developments on 25

material level into account costs around 60-100 eurokWh seam feasible past 2025 26

Figure 39 Cost learning curves for large LIB cells (cylindrical and Pouchprismatic) [33] 3

Similar cost learning curves have been observed for other battery technologies (see Figure 4

40) In principal cost degression can be limited by demand (compare NiCd) or by reaching 5

material cost limits (compare Pb) Also the diffusion of battery technologies in new markets 6

or applications can lead to further technological improvements and justify higher production 7

costs (compare deviation of NiMH Pb) Following the available data for LIB cells approx 100 8

$kWh (~89 eurokWh) are reached at a cumulative yearly production of 1TWh This mark is 9

expected to be reached between 2020 and 2030 10

Beyond 2030 LIB production costs are however expected to start deviating from this curve 11

due to limiting raw material prices 12

2432 ESS 7

According to recent end-customer price data provided in [55] for 2018 typical consumer prices 8

for small scale (~10 kWh) stationary home storage systems are between 5000 and 15000 9

Euros leading to a relative price of 800 to 1200 eurokWh It is expected that these system prices 10

will benefit from the growing battery markets (also xEV) since similar LIB cell types can be 11

applied in both application areas With respect to inverters and other system related costs the 12

smaller market volume of home ESS indicates lower economy of scale effects as compared 13

to cells 14

So far no comprehensive information on repair and maintenance costs for the battery system 17

2451 Second life and recycling considerations 6

Until today only pilot projects Strategy of automotive OEM regarding second life applications 7

is not known 8

Value of recycled materials can be estimated 9

Three main scenarios possible after end of 1st life (xEV) 10

1 Disposal of batteries (eg separation of liquid and solid components hazardous waste 11

disposal) 12

2 Recycling of batteries and direct regeneration and re-use of cathode materials (2a) or 13

recovery of metals (2b) 14

3 2nd life in ESS applications under limited load (low DOD cycling low power) 15

16

Scenario 1 will add another component to battery costs scenario 2 and 3 could significantly 17

decrease the cost of batteries if energy efficient recycling methods can be developed or viable 18

2nd life business models are established 19

26 Annex 1

2611 Modelling of addressable markets for electric applications 2

Vehicle markets (in units of registrations in the EU28 per year) and ESS markets (in units of 3

number of installed home PV systems or in units of overall renewable (PV wind) electricity 4

generation in the EU28 per year) were modelled by exponential functions 5

119872119905119886119901119901(119905) = 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 6

With Mtapp(t) being the total market volume of an application M0 the market size in 2015 and 7

120591 times 119871119899(2) the time t necessary to double the initial market volume M0 M0 and Tau were chosen 8

to fit existing market data 9

119872119886119901119901(119905) = 119888 times 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 10

With Mapp(t) being the addressable market and c a factor equal or smaller than 1 Parameter 11

c lt 1 was chosen to take into account that not the whole existing market Mtapp might be 12

addressable by electric technologies Eg a share of vehicles primarily used for long distance 13

travel might not be addressable by BEV but by PHEV only 14

The market addressable for passenger PHEV (as a transition technology on the path to full 15

electric vehicles) was modelled as the difference of total vehicle sales and BEV sales 16

119872119875119867119864119881(119905) = 119888 times 119872119905119901119886119904119904119890119899119892119890119903(119905) minus 119878119861119864119881(119905) 17

The market addressable for passenger BEV was modelled like Mapp(t) with c lt 1 18

2612 Modelling of sales numbers of xEV and ESS 19

Yearly sales numbers Sapp(t) for the different applications were modelled by logistic growth 20

functions Logistic functions can model diffusion of technologies into existing markets with a 21

given market volume M The market volume can be a moving target M = M(t) The relative 22

change of sales numbers Srsquoapp(t)Sapp(t) is proportional to the market volume not yet 23

developed by a technology Mapp(t) ndash Sapp(t) 24

119878119886119901119901(119905) = 119872119886119901119901(119905) times1

1 + 119864119909119901(minus119872119886119901119901(119905) times (119905 minus 1199050)120591)(119872119886119901119901(119905)

119878119886119901119901(1199050)minus 1)

25

With Tau being a time constant and Sapp(t0) being the yearly sales number at year t0 (eg 26

2015) 27

Short time constants Tau of few years were used to model ESS sales Due to limitations of 28

the existing electricity grid to only buffer a certain share of fluctuating PV and wind generated 29

electricity the further expansion of renewable electricity generation might be strongly coupled 30

to ESS installations Hence ESS sales were modelled to closely follow the assumed 31

installations of renewable power in the limit of ldquovery fastrdquo market diffusion (120591 rarr 0) 32

2613 Modelling of battery system capacities 33

Battery capacities EBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws In 34

particular BEV battery capacities increased in the last years from 30 kWh in 2013 to more than 35

40 kWh in 2018 (EU sales and production averages) In the long term we expect BEV 36

capacities to converge towards a value sufficient to provide average driving ranges of some 37

100 km Battery capacity growth rates are hence supposed to slow down 38

119864119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198640 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 1

With E0 being the average battery capacity in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years and 2

b an exponent lt 1 The parameters were chosen to fit existing data 3

2614 Modelling of battery replacement rates 4

Battery replacement rates RrBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws 5

The replacement rate defines the share of batteries installed in year t that had to be replaced 6

within the lifetime of a system (xEV ESS) In particular for vehicles it is assumed that xEV 7

manufacturers currently install battery cells with a high lifetime and cyclability (several 8

thousand cycles) In the mid-term we expect that battery life and vehicle life (eg 200000 to 9

300000 km) will be matched by car manufacturers Assuming a constant vehicle lifetime 10

battery replacement rates are supposed to increase over time 11

119877119903119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198770 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 12

With R0 being the average replacement rate in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years 13

and b an exponent lt 1 At present there is no data available to fit the parameters Parameters 14

were estimated based on the usage profile and load of different applications 15

2615 Modelling of system lifetimes (xEV ESS) 16

System lifetimes Ltsystem(t) were assumed to be constant Ltsystem(t)= Ltsystem Parameters were 17

estimated based on manufacturer statements and typical lifetimes for combustion powered 18

vehicles 19

2616 Calculation of battery replacements 20

Battery replacements RpBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 21

calculated by assuming a uniform distribution of battery replacements over the lifetime 22

Ltsystem(i) of battery systems installed in year i 23

2617 Calculation of battery decommissions 25

Battery decommissions DcBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 26

assumed to happen coincident with the end of life of the systems (Ltsystem) they were installed 27

in in year i This neglects any second life usage in t gt i It was assumed that xEV or ESS 28

Figure 17 PV installations in EU28 countries and forecast until 2020 Data taken from [12] 2

Based on the data given in [10] for Germany 80 of the installed PV systems can be attributed 3

to small or medium sized installations (average of 10 kWp) directly feeding into the low-voltage 4

grid In terms of power these systems amount to about 30 of the installations If equipped 5

with an energy storage system the average battery capacity amounts to 8 to 10 kWh [13] 6

Concerning installations in Europe it can be argued that there is a trend towards smaller roof-7

top systems for more densely populated and less sunny regions while in particular in the 8

southern European countries larger solar parks are favored Since no comprehensive data 9

covering the whole EU is available only a rough estimation for the demand of battery storage 10

systems and capacity can be made 11

Assuming that the number of smaller roof-top installations (30 of power) as well as the 12

number of systems equipped with an ESS (50 of installations lt 30 kWp) is above average 13

for Germany as compared to the rest of the EU the market data and forecasts given in [12] 14

and [11] would lead to a demand for battery capacity as summarized in Table 5 15

2232 Wind Turbine installations in the EU 5

Similar to section 2231 for PV installations Figure 18 shows data and forecasts for wind 6

turbine power installations in the EU28 [12] In contrast to PV installations wind turbine power 7

is almost exclusively attributed to larger scale wind parks We conclude that the use of small 8

scale ESS for the optimization of private energy consumption is therefore not driven by wind 9

power installations 10

Still the ongoing installation of wind turbine power in the EU28 might become a driver for large 11

scale decentralized energy storage systems however there is no market data available which 12

would allow for a battery demand forecast 13

the 450 MWh installed until 2018 in total 340 MWh were installed in Germany and 80 MWh 8

Figure 19 Installed ESS capacity (stock) in large scale projects in EU28 A ratio of 11 with 2

respect to installed power and installed energy content (capacity) was assumed [14] 3

Table 6 lists larger scale (~MWh) stationary storage systems installed in the EU in 2017 [12] 4

80 of these installations are categorized as substation storage 6 relates to frequency 5

stabilization 5 to storage of wind-generated energy and 1 to storage of PV-generated 6

energy 7

Note that most of these installations are prototype or test facilities which does not allow to 8

use this application share as template for future market developments The total installed 9

capacity of 340 MWh in 2017 suggests that the market volume of large scale ESS is of the 10

same order of magnitude as that of home storage Note that the installed capacity for 2017 in 11

[14] is only 65 MWh It is however not stated in [12] whether the listed ESS projects are still in 12

2234 Forecast ESS sales and stock EU28 2

The data presented in sections 2231 2232 and 2233 was used as an input for a forecast 3

model on large scale and home ESS 4

EU wide sales numbers and growth rates for PV coupled home storage systems were 5

extrapolated with declining growth rates for 2035 and beyond With respect to large scale ESS 6

it was assumed that the generation of electricity by renewable sources exceeding 17 (2015 7

value [15]) of the total electricity generation necessitates a certain amount of ESS buffer 8

capacity EU 2020 and 2030 targets [16 17] for the share of renewable electricity generation 9

were used as a forecast model The buffer capacity demand was estimated to be 70 of the 10

daily electrical energy generated by renewables exceeding the share of 17 11

A lifetime of 20 years with a replacement rate of 10 was assumed for home ESS and a 12

lifetime of 20 years with a battery replacement rate of 80 within this lifetime was assumed 13

for large scale ESS System capacities were modelled by a power law based on present-day 14

values The assumptions for the market model are summarized in Table 7 and Table 8 and 15

shall be subject to discussion during the stakeholder meeting 16

224 Summary of the market sales forecast and estimation of the future 1

and past stock 2

As shown in sections 222 and 223 several drivers exist for the application of battery storage 3

systems in stationary and motive applications While the demand for battery capacity 4

generated by BEV and PHEV passenger cars was on the level of several GWh for 2017 the 5

ESS markets might still be below the 1 GWh mark in the EU 6

With respect to the increase of average battery capacity installed in different applications (see 7

Figure 22) and the growth rates for the sales of xEV and ESS (see sections 2223 and 8

2232) forecasts for the total new installations (including replacements) of batteries in the 9

EU28 are shown in Figure 23 See annex for further comments 10

11

Figure 22 Average system battery energy (kWh or MWh) forecast 12

It can be expected that the demand generated by sales and replacements in the EU28 will 13

amount to about 20 GWh by 2020 100 GWh by 2025 and more than 400 GWh by 2030 14

23 Market trends 3

231 General objective of subtask 23 and approach 4

The following chapter provides a comprehensive market overview on global battery sales 5

demand and players Starting with the market development of Lithium-ion batteries between 6

2010 to 2017 scenarios until 2025 to 2030 are presented including a meta-analysis of several 7

most recent market reports (eg [18ndash27]) Step by step the regional markets and markets by 8

applications will be specified 9

232 Market drivers and CO2 legislation [28] 10

Climate and energy policies are main drivers for the energy future and are expected to lead to 11

an increasing demand for energy storage in the mid and long term (see Figure 24) According 12

to the European Unionacutes decarbonization objective a reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) 13

emissions to 80 ndash 95 below 1990 levels should be achieved by 2050 14

In particular for the transport sector no full decarbonization is achieved [29] even in the longer 15

term (other sectors have to compensate with higher GHG reductions) The overall reduction 16

achieved in the transport sector by 2050 is only around 60 below 1990 levels The 17

increasing trend in emissions seen over the past 20 years is expected to reverse by the CO2 18

legislation From 2020 on the fleet average to be achieved by all new cars is 95 grams of CO2 19

per kilometer (compared to 130 gkm in 2015) 20

Many other governments world-wide have specified CO2 emission targets and are striving 21

towards a low carbon economy Particularly in the field of passenger and commercial vehicles 22

fuel consumption and emission targets have been installed which significantly drive the 23

introduction of battery or fuel cell powered electric vehicles Among these emission policies 24

the targets set by the EU are among the most ambitious (see Table 11) Meeting them will 25

require a significant share of electric vehicles 26

Table 11 Overview about fuel consumption and CO2-emission targets for passenger vehicles 1

of the EU and other countries leading battery and electric mobility markets [30] 2

In this context electric mobility is gaining importance since electric vehicles especially plug-3

in hybrid and pure battery electric vehicles can help to achieve or fulfill these limits due to 4

improved CO2 footprints compared to conventional cars However for low CO2 footprints over 5

the lifetime of electric cars a high share of ldquolow carbonrdquo renewable energy sources (RES) in 6

the energy mix is needed and important (Figure 24 left side) 7

8

Figure 24 Climate and energy policies as drivers for future energy storage demand [28] 9

The EU Energy Roadmap 2050 [31 32] has shown across six scenarios that the 10

decarbonization goal can be achieved if the share of renewable energy sources (RES) among 11

the power generation capacity is high (gt 60 until 2050) for all scenarios Especially for the 12

high RES scenario the share of fluctuating energy generation (wind photovoltaic ndash PV) is the 13

strongest which has to be balanced Grid expansion andor flexibilization measures (eg 14

demand side management power to gas and vehicle to grid besides stationary battery 15

storage) are potential solutions Thus the high RES scenario is the most interesting scenario 16

with respect to a potential future demand for energy storage solutions (ESS) on local 17

distribution and transmission grid levels (Figure 24 right side) In order to have a significant 18

GHG reduction with EVs it will also be important to achieve the RES targets 19

233 The developing battery market 1

The total annual battery market is currently on the level of 45-60 billion Euro representing 2

approximately 400-500 GWh (including Lead-acid Lithium-Ion and other batteries) [33] 3

Lithium-ion batteries (LIB) have succeeded because of their high gravimetric and volumetric 4

energy densities and have a market share of about a third in terms of value among the whole 5

battery market The growth is driven by the decreasing cell costs of less than 170 eurokWh for a 6

standard cylindrical cell (lowest prices) approaching the 90 eurokWh mark in the next years This 7

cost degression is due to increasing capacity demand and production and thus due to scale 8

effects 9

Although the LIB market is drastically growing with annual growth rates of up to 30 percent 10

on average (in terms of battery capacity demand) the dominating battery technology in terms 11

of capacity however are still lead-acid batteries representing about 90 percent of the global 12

demand in volume around 2010 and 80 percent in 2017 13

14

15

Figure 25 Historical development of the global battery demand in GWh (left axis for NiCd 16

NiMH right axis for all other battery types grey total battery demand) [34] 17

Other mature battery technologies like NiCd (still partly used in power tools) and NiMH (still 18

used in hybrid electric vehicles HEV) are slowly declining and are expected to disappear from 19

the market in the next decade The diversification of future battery applications however will 20

also broaden the range of battery technologies Emerging technologies like Na-based Metal-21

Sulfur or Redox Flow batteries are developing and may lead to attractive solutions eg with 22

respect to cost and resource availability advantages However due to very strict requirements 23

on volumetric energy densities these technologies are expected to be relevant for stationary 24

or other special markets and less for the most significant electric vehicle market In general 25

each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses and none of them can satisfy all user 26

demands Hence a broader application-specific technology portfolio is urgently needed in 27

order to provide alternative technology solutions in the future 28

The extremely dynamic development of the global LIB demand will lead to the TWh level latest 29

around 2030 and grow further after 2030 Thus LIB will very soon transform into the 30

dominating energy storage technology 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

34

Figure 26 shows three different scenarios for the global demand for LIB between 2010 and 1

2030 (green curves) along with global production capacities (orange and blue curve)[33] 2

While at the beginning of the decade the demand and sales numbers followed the medium 3

growth rate trend scenario the market has been approaching the high growth rate scenario in 4

the last years This is mainly due to the strong engagement of politics and respective 5

regulation and subsidy programs for electric mobility As can be seen from the graph the 6

share of demand generated by motive applications is expected to significantly grow in the next 7

years and might account for more than one third of the total LIB demand by 2025 8

To face this increasing demand for LIB cells accordingly production capacities need to be 9

build up in the near future Based on the currently existing cell production capacities and the 10

global announcements from established and new cell producers until 2025 the LIB cell 11

production capacities (blue line in 12

Figure 26) have been identified Compared to 15 GWh added production capacity between 13

2013 and 2016 in the next years around 50 GWh will be added annually leading to around 14

700 GWh production capacities until 2025 (in the optimistic case see blue line in 15

Figure 26) The announcements include established players such as Panasonic (JP) LG 16

Chem (KR) Samsung (KR) SKI (KR) BYD (CN) Lishen (CN) CATL (CN) CALB (CN) 17

OPTIMUM (CN) and several further Chinese cell producers Also new players such as TerraE 18

(DE) Northvolt (SW) Boston Energy (US AU) Energy Absolute (Thailand) are included 19

while accounting for the different stages of expansion [20 27] 20

234 Battery markets by application 23

Diversification of applications for batteries 24

The above described global developments of battery demand and production strongly concern 25

high-energy lithium-ion batteries with the cell chemistries NMC NCA (Ni-rich and Co-reduced 26

cathodes) and SiC (high capacity SiC anodes with 5-10 or higher Si content) and cell 27

formats cylindrical (eg larger 21700 compared to standard 18650) large pouch or prismatic 28

cells The target is to develop and produce cells with improved gravimetric and volumetric 29

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

35

energy densities and reduced costs in order to meet the requirements of the automotive 1

industry Electric passenger cars are driving the demand and thus development of the battery 2

technology and these optimized and cost reduced batteries define the benchmark today and 3

in the future 4

LIB demand by applications 5

In Figure 27 the global LIB demand is broken down to the three main sectors for battery 6

demand which can be characterised each having different profiles of requirement 7

bull electric mobility or electric vehicles (EV including eg passenger cars light 8

commercial vehicles buses trucks scooters ebikes etc) 9

bull stationary energy storage systems (ESS) and 10

bull portable devices (3C ndash Computer Communication Consumer) 11

The LIB cell demand developed to almost 25 GWh in 2010 since the market introduction in 12

the early 1990s and dominantly resulted from portable devices In 2015 the cell demand of 13

about 70 GWh was distributed already almost 5050 between 3C and EV applications 14

15

Figure 27 Global LIB demand (in GWh and share in ) by segment [34] 16

Since 2015 the global LIB demand has increased with compound annual growth rates 17

(CAGR) of ~25 from about 70 GWh to about 110 GWh in 2017 The market for electric 18

vehicles currently grows with 30-40 (and more depending on the application and region) and 19

a diversification in applications (eg buses trucks other light to heavy commercial vehicles 20

marine applications drones etc) can be observed 21

With the diversification of future markets and applications cost sensitive markets will arise for 22

which optimized high-energy and cost reduced automotive cells of certain cell formats will be 23

used However also applications with stronger requirements on long lifetime high cycleability 24

fast charging capability safety etc will emerge and diffuse where cost is not the most 25

relevant factor and other battery technologies (ie cell chemistries formats) can provide a 26

unique selling proposition and hence lead to a product differentiation 27

2341 LIB markets for 3C applications 28

Portable devices (3C) have been the main applications for LIB cells in the past Power tools 29

medical devices and wearables are expected to be products with an emerging future market 30

for small LIB cells but with enormous quantities The price per kWh that can be stored plays a 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

36

less important role for these applications As far as charging is concerned technologies such 1

as energy harvesting and wireless charging are expected to be introduced in the future For 2

many markets and products such as household devices garden cleaning power tools other 3

mobile leisure applications etc today mostly cylindrical LIB cells of the format 18650 are used 4

With the introduction of 21700 cells also larger cylindrical cells become available now and are 5

expected to be used in diffuse in such applications Although different specific cell chemistries 6

might be suitable depending on the concrete application again it can be stated that the 3C 7

segment is expected to lead to a comparably small battery capacity demand compared to the 8

EV segment and will not be the limiting segment with respect to the risk of resource 9

dependencies 10

In the next few years growth rates of about 5 to 10 percent are expected for the 3C markets 11

while laptop battery demand is developing at lower growth rates and power tools medical 12

devices etc are supporting the growth rates for the battery demand 13

14

15

Figure 28 Demand and growth of the 3C LIB market [34] 16

2342 LIB markets for stationary (ESS) applications 17

Stationary energy storage systems (ESS) can be divided into different size classes with regard 18

to the capacity and charging times Both together decide on the application area (eg small 19

PV storage at home peak load to long-term storage) [35] Beyond that the price per kWh put 20

through over the lifetime is the economic key factor (as synthesized by the LCOE levelized 21

cost of energy) In contrast gravimetric and volumetric energy density plays a subordinate 22

role Due to that lead-acid batteries were often used as storage technology for off- and on-23

grid storage Currently LIBs are being established for commercial use and meanwhile reach 24

an annual demand of some few GWh Other electrochemical storage technologies such as 25

sodium-sulfur batteries are still used but the demand for LIB is strongly increasing for ESS It 26

is expected that 2nd life concepts for batteries that had their first life in electric vehicles will 27

gain importance together with market diffusion in the EV segment as the requirements on the 28

batteries are less demanding in the ESS segment This however will require the development 29

of according business models standardization etc The much broader available technology 30

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

37

portfolio for ESS applications the use of 2nd life batteries and the fact that electric vehicle 1

batteries that are connected to the grid on a large scale with higher market diffusion can be 2

regarded as stationary storage systems as well (vehicle to grid V2G grid to vehicle G2V) help 3

to reduce the risk of technological and resource dependencies in the future 4

The market for stationary storage applications (ESS) is experiencing growth rates of 20 to 30 5

percent depending on individual market forecasts (in the last years CAGR have even been on 6

the level of 60 but decrease with increasing size of the market see Figure 29) 7

The market is currently on a level of few GWh including applications from smaller PV storage 8

systems of 5-10 kWh to larger industrial and grid connected installations for own power 9

consumption peak shaving etc on the MWh level Regarding these growth rates LIB for ESS 10

applications rapidly gain importance as de-central storage solutions compared to the currently 11

dominating central pumped hydro storage (PHS) Forecasts to 2025 differ by size and expect 12

an ESS LIB demand between 20-50 GWh (partially higher eg in [23]) but all forecasts identify 13

high growth rates 14

15

Figure 29 Demand and growth of the ESS LIB market [34] 16

17

2343 LIB markets for electric vehicle applications 18

One of the biggest challenges for batteries for electric vehicles (EV including electric cars 19

buses trucks etc) apart from their price is the increase of their volumetric and gravimetric 20

energy density The volumetric energy density is even more important for OEM due to 21

restricted and fixed space and location of the battery in an electric vehicle A very relevant 22

parameter of a battery is its charging and discharging power in particular in continuous 23

operation It determines the fast-charging capability which is an important argument in the 24

use and the establishment on the market At the same time this sets limits to the high-25

performance operation since energy consumption is reduced to protect the battery from 26

damage This illustrates the conflicting effect of different parameters on the battery lifetime 27

Price volume weight and thus charge density as well as chargedischarge rate in terms of 28

usage and durability are the most urgent challenges for battery manufacturers 29

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

38

The market for EV batteries is currently at the level of about 50 GWh (including electric 1

passenger cars busses trucks ebikes scooter forklifts etc) Growth rates are at 20 to 40 2

percent and the demand for EV batteries will lead to a share of about 66 percent in 2020 76 3

percent until 2025 and 80 percent or higher in the long term Electric passenger cars (BEV 4

and PHEV) define the by far largest market within the EV segment and are clearly driving the 5

technology development of high energy Lithium-Ion or Lithium-based batteries in the future 6

7

Figure 30 Demand and growth of the EV LIB market [34] 8

9

Other motive (or stationary or portable) markets applications besides the highly competitive 10

electric passenger cars therefore can offer interesting growth markets also for smaller cell 11

producers beyond the large Japanese Korean and Chinese cell producers These markets or 12

applications very often define concrete requirements for the battery performance they require 13

an in depth understanding and design from the cell chemistry format to the modulepack and 14

system integration and they still vary strongly by region and are connected to individual system 15

integrators or OEM This is because each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses 16

and none of them can satisfy all userapplication demands Hence a broader application 17

specific technology portfolio is even urgently needed in order to provide alternative individual 18

technology solutions for these emerging marketsapplications 19

20

235 Market channels and production structure 21

2351 Global production capacities and major players 22

Since their commercialization in the 1990s LIB have been predominantly produced by 23

Japanese and Korean companies Driven by the Chinese government particularly cell 24

producers but also companies covering other steps of the LIB value creation chain have been 25

established in China Due to a policy of simultaneous support for LIB production as well as for 26

application markets and due to an extensive subsidy scheme a large share of LIB production 27

capacities is located in China today 28

Figure 31 Figure 32 Figure 33 and Figure 34 show the global LIB production capacities of 29

major cell producers in 2018 as well as forecasts for 2020 2025 and 2030 respectively [36] 30

The data is based on announcements made by the cell producers As discussed in section 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

39

233 the actual time-frame for the implementation of the capacity expansions is often delayed 1

with respect to the original announcements Hence minimum and maximum values for the 2

production capacities are given 3

41

Figure 34 Global LIB production capacities of major cell producers in 2030 [36] 2

Until 2030 the announced production capacities add up to more than 1 TWh In total there 3

are about 30 cell producers which have announced to build up production capacities of more 4

than 10 GWhyear which can be considered to be a threshold in order to be able to produce 5

at competitve costs [36] If the announced capacities are fully utilized the ldquobig 4rdquo (Panasonic 6

CATL LGC and BYD) will be able to fully cover the market demand (gt550 GWh) until 2025 7

2352 Europes position in the global battery value chain 8

In the EU several actors are positioned which cover production steps along the whole value 9

chain of LIBs starting from raw material production to production of cells and systems and 10

finally recycling However with respect to global markets only few organizations within the EU 11

have a market share of more than 1 in their specific segment eg BASF Germany in the 12

field of electrolyte production [30] 13

An overview about existing and active companies is given by the European Battery Alliance 14

(see Figure 35) Due to the presence of strong automotive OEM LIB pack manufacturing and 15

system integration is taking place on large scale in Europe A particular gap in the value chain 16

is present due to the lack of a large-scale cell production capable of serving the volumes and 17

prices required by the automotive industry 18

3

Several consortia are currently attempting to build up a European large scale cell 4

manufacturing such as Nothvolt (Sweden) with 32 GWh until 2023 or Saft (together with 5

Siemens and Manz) [39] Recently the German government announced plans for funding of 6

a Batterie-Cell-Alliance between Germany and Poland with cell production capacities in the 7

Regions Lausitz (Germany) and Westpoland [40 41] At the cross section between RampD and 8

large-scale production also a Research Production with 600 Mio EUR funding is foreseen 9

whereas the Fraunhofer Society should coordinate and run such a research production [42] 10

The announced funding from the German government sums up to 2 bn EUR 11

Given all these announced investments and production capacities to build up in the next years 12

the cell production capacities of European cell manufacturers could sum up to over 40 GWh 13

beyond 2025 In contrast main Asian cell manufacturer have already started with cell 14

production (eg LG SDI) or plan to build up production capacities until 2020 to 2025 In 15

concrete there are plans from [43ndash51] 16

17

bull CATL (China) to build 14 GWh in Germany Erfurt beyond 2020 18

bull LG Chem (Japan) to build 15 to 24 GWh (for 03 Mio EVs) in Poland beyond 2020 19

bull Samsung SDI (Japan) to build 10 to 15 GWh beyond 2020 in Hungary (including a 20

recent 5 GWh announcement for 21700 cells for Land Rover 21

bull SK Innovation (Japan) to build 75 GWh in Hungary beyond 2020 22

bull PanasonicTesla to build a (assumed 35GWh) Gigafactory in Europa around 2025 23

bull as well as from BYD (China) GS Yuasa (Japan) and Farasis (US) to build production 24

capacities between 2020 and 2025 25

26

The production capacities from Asian (or non-European) cell manufacturer might sum up to 27

well above 82-96 GWh by 2025 and including BYD GS Yuasa Farasis etc capacities far 28

above 100 GWh can be expected Together with the new EU cell producers this could easily 29

sum up towards the above mentioned 200 GWh demand in Europe But it also clearly indicates 30

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

44

the competition the emerging European players have to face (besides the fact that the plans 1

of the Asian companies are expected to be realized already several years earlier as those of 2

the novel EU companies) 3

2353 Product design trends and technological roadmap 4

Concerning the battery technology or type (by chemistry format etc) which will most likely 5

be produced to address this increasing demand the global roadmaps of cell producers are 6

basically similar Based on state-of-the art cell design (eg LFP NCA based ldquogeneration 1rdquo 7

and NMC111 to NMC532 ldquogeneration 2abrdquo Li-ion batteries) [52] and state-of-the-art 8

production equipment incremental improvements are expected in the next few years but with 9

the target to get to higher-energy lithium-ion batteries Concerning the electrolytes still liquid 10

electrolytes will be used but adopted to the changing electrode materials (eg with additives) 11

Current trends for layered oxide cathodes describe the development of Ni-rich (Co reduced) 12

materials (NMC) A few cell producers are already using NMC811 or comparable cathode 13

materials others are still adopting NMC622 (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3ardquo) On cathode 14

side maybe even lower-cost Mn-rich High Energy NMCs (HE-NMC) might be realized and 15

produced within ~10 years as Mn is cheaper than Ni (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3brdquo) On 16

anode side the trend is to incorporate Si-nano particles to make use of the alloying reaction 17

between Si and Li yielding a high capacitance This however comes at the cost of cycle life 18

Further down the road we might see higher Si contents (~20) 19

20

All-solid-state batteries are on the roadmap of many battery producers but also OEM (also 21

referred to as ldquogeneration 4rdquo) The key performance parameters (KPI) are suitable for electric 22

mobility (EV) Main challenges are indeed manufacturability particularly for ceramic solid state 23

electrolytes which promise to yield the highest advantages over state of the art technologies 24

The market introduction in niche applications is expected possible prior to the use in 25

automotive applications First all-solid-state batteries might not be competitive in terms of 26

energy density but safety properties Later on energy densities of 350-400 Whkg and higher 27

are expected 28

Li-ion batteries but (according to the current level of knowledge) do not reach the necessary 5

KPIs in terms of energy density power density and cycling stability necessary for electric 6

mobility (these are marked in grey) USPs of these technologies can be cost resource 7

fundamental challenges are not solved yet (eg concerning the stability of materials and 9

24 Consumer expenditure base data 2

241 General objective of subtask 24 and approach 3

Subtask 24 gives an overview about average production costs and consumer prices incl 4

VAT (for consumer prices streetprice) excl VAT (for B2B products) as well as an estimation 5

of repair and maintenance as well as installation and disposal costs 6

Due to their recent larger scale market introduction there is still little experience with 7

maintenance as well as disposal expenses Hence only estimations can be made based on 8

isolated sources 9

242 Development of LIB cell costs 10

As the core of LIB based energy storage systems the battery cell exhibits the highest cost 11

share During the last years particularly standardized 18650 format LIB cells have 12

experienced a steep cost learning curve benefiting from production scale effects but also 13

from technological advancements on material level increasing the energy density per volume 14

and weight and decreasing the amount of cost intense Cobalt-based components Compared 15

to this benchmark larger format LIB cells (Pouch prismatic) as are utilized in xEVs and ESS 16

predominantly feature lower energy densities at higher cost per kWh There are however no 17

principal limitations which would prevent a performance and cost development similar to what 18

was observed for cylindrical cells Figure 39 shows the cost learning curves for cylindrical as 19

well as larger format LIB cells [33] Today average costs for cells suitable for automotive use 20

are below 150 eurokWh (cylindrical) and around 200 eurokWh (Pouchprismatic) In specific cases 21

prices around 100 eurokWh have been reported already [53] It should however be noted that 22

with the current market situation LIB prices being below costs are not unlikely to occur 23

Until 2025 production costs of the different cell formats are expected to approach and fall 24

below the mark of 100 eurokWh between 2020 and 2025 Taking further developments on 25

material level into account costs around 60-100 eurokWh seam feasible past 2025 26

Figure 39 Cost learning curves for large LIB cells (cylindrical and Pouchprismatic) [33] 3

Similar cost learning curves have been observed for other battery technologies (see Figure 4

40) In principal cost degression can be limited by demand (compare NiCd) or by reaching 5

material cost limits (compare Pb) Also the diffusion of battery technologies in new markets 6

or applications can lead to further technological improvements and justify higher production 7

costs (compare deviation of NiMH Pb) Following the available data for LIB cells approx 100 8

$kWh (~89 eurokWh) are reached at a cumulative yearly production of 1TWh This mark is 9

expected to be reached between 2020 and 2030 10

Beyond 2030 LIB production costs are however expected to start deviating from this curve 11

due to limiting raw material prices 12

2432 ESS 7

According to recent end-customer price data provided in [55] for 2018 typical consumer prices 8

for small scale (~10 kWh) stationary home storage systems are between 5000 and 15000 9

Euros leading to a relative price of 800 to 1200 eurokWh It is expected that these system prices 10

will benefit from the growing battery markets (also xEV) since similar LIB cell types can be 11

applied in both application areas With respect to inverters and other system related costs the 12

smaller market volume of home ESS indicates lower economy of scale effects as compared 13

to cells 14

So far no comprehensive information on repair and maintenance costs for the battery system 17

2451 Second life and recycling considerations 6

Until today only pilot projects Strategy of automotive OEM regarding second life applications 7

is not known 8

Value of recycled materials can be estimated 9

Three main scenarios possible after end of 1st life (xEV) 10

1 Disposal of batteries (eg separation of liquid and solid components hazardous waste 11

disposal) 12

2 Recycling of batteries and direct regeneration and re-use of cathode materials (2a) or 13

recovery of metals (2b) 14

3 2nd life in ESS applications under limited load (low DOD cycling low power) 15

16

Scenario 1 will add another component to battery costs scenario 2 and 3 could significantly 17

decrease the cost of batteries if energy efficient recycling methods can be developed or viable 18

2nd life business models are established 19

c lt 1 was chosen to take into account that not the whole existing market Mtapp might be 12

addressable by electric technologies Eg a share of vehicles primarily used for long distance 13

travel might not be addressable by BEV but by PHEV only 14

The market addressable for passenger PHEV (as a transition technology on the path to full 15

electric vehicles) was modelled as the difference of total vehicle sales and BEV sales 16

119872119875119867119864119881(119905) = 119888 times 119872119905119901119886119904119904119890119899119892119890119903(119905) minus 119878119861119864119881(119905) 17

The market addressable for passenger BEV was modelled like Mapp(t) with c lt 1 18

2612 Modelling of sales numbers of xEV and ESS 19

Yearly sales numbers Sapp(t) for the different applications were modelled by logistic growth 20

functions Logistic functions can model diffusion of technologies into existing markets with a 21

given market volume M The market volume can be a moving target M = M(t) The relative 22

change of sales numbers Srsquoapp(t)Sapp(t) is proportional to the market volume not yet 23

developed by a technology Mapp(t) ndash Sapp(t) 24

119878119886119901119901(119905) = 119872119886119901119901(119905) times1

25

With Tau being a time constant and Sapp(t0) being the yearly sales number at year t0 (eg 26

2015) 27

Short time constants Tau of few years were used to model ESS sales Due to limitations of 28

the existing electricity grid to only buffer a certain share of fluctuating PV and wind generated 29

electricity the further expansion of renewable electricity generation might be strongly coupled 30

to ESS installations Hence ESS sales were modelled to closely follow the assumed 31

installations of renewable power in the limit of ldquovery fastrdquo market diffusion (120591 rarr 0) 32

2613 Modelling of battery system capacities 33

Battery capacities EBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws In 34

particular BEV battery capacities increased in the last years from 30 kWh in 2013 to more than 35

40 kWh in 2018 (EU sales and production averages) In the long term we expect BEV 36

capacities to converge towards a value sufficient to provide average driving ranges of some 37

100 km Battery capacity growth rates are hence supposed to slow down 38

With E0 being the average battery capacity in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years and 2

b an exponent lt 1 The parameters were chosen to fit existing data 3

2614 Modelling of battery replacement rates 4

Battery replacement rates RrBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws 5

The replacement rate defines the share of batteries installed in year t that had to be replaced 6

within the lifetime of a system (xEV ESS) In particular for vehicles it is assumed that xEV 7

manufacturers currently install battery cells with a high lifetime and cyclability (several 8

thousand cycles) In the mid-term we expect that battery life and vehicle life (eg 200000 to 9

300000 km) will be matched by car manufacturers Assuming a constant vehicle lifetime 10

battery replacement rates are supposed to increase over time 11

119877119903119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198770 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 12

With R0 being the average replacement rate in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years 13

and b an exponent lt 1 At present there is no data available to fit the parameters Parameters 14

were estimated based on the usage profile and load of different applications 15

2615 Modelling of system lifetimes (xEV ESS) 16

System lifetimes Ltsystem(t) were assumed to be constant Ltsystem(t)= Ltsystem Parameters were 17

estimated based on manufacturer statements and typical lifetimes for combustion powered 18

vehicles 19

2616 Calculation of battery replacements 20

Battery replacements RpBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 21

calculated by assuming a uniform distribution of battery replacements over the lifetime 22

Ltsystem(i) of battery systems installed in year i 23

2617 Calculation of battery decommissions 25

Battery decommissions DcBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 26

assumed to happen coincident with the end of life of the systems (Ltsystem) they were installed 27

in in year i This neglects any second life usage in t gt i It was assumed that xEV or ESS 28

manufacturers will tune the battery lifetime to match the system lifetime (see 2614) 29

119878119887119886119901119901(119905) = 119878119886119901119901(119905) times 119864119886119901119901119861119886119905119905(119905) + 119877119901119886119901119901

2232 Wind Turbine installations in the EU 5

Similar to section 2231 for PV installations Figure 18 shows data and forecasts for wind 6

turbine power installations in the EU28 [12] In contrast to PV installations wind turbine power 7

is almost exclusively attributed to larger scale wind parks We conclude that the use of small 8

scale ESS for the optimization of private energy consumption is therefore not driven by wind 9

power installations 10

Still the ongoing installation of wind turbine power in the EU28 might become a driver for large 11

scale decentralized energy storage systems however there is no market data available which 12

would allow for a battery demand forecast 13

the world Figure 19 shows the cumulated storage capacity (installed stock) for the EU28 Of 7

the 450 MWh installed until 2018 in total 340 MWh were installed in Germany and 80 MWh 8

in the UK Since this is not an exhaustive list it can be considered as lower boundary for the 9

installed stock 10

Figure 19 Installed ESS capacity (stock) in large scale projects in EU28 A ratio of 11 with 2

respect to installed power and installed energy content (capacity) was assumed [14] 3

Table 6 lists larger scale (~MWh) stationary storage systems installed in the EU in 2017 [12] 4

80 of these installations are categorized as substation storage 6 relates to frequency 5

stabilization 5 to storage of wind-generated energy and 1 to storage of PV-generated 6

energy 7

Note that most of these installations are prototype or test facilities which does not allow to 8

use this application share as template for future market developments The total installed 9

capacity of 340 MWh in 2017 suggests that the market volume of large scale ESS is of the 10

same order of magnitude as that of home storage Note that the installed capacity for 2017 in 11

[14] is only 65 MWh It is however not stated in [12] whether the listed ESS projects are still in 12

construction or already operational 13

2234 Forecast ESS sales and stock EU28 2

The data presented in sections 2231 2232 and 2233 was used as an input for a forecast 3

model on large scale and home ESS 4

EU wide sales numbers and growth rates for PV coupled home storage systems were 5

extrapolated with declining growth rates for 2035 and beyond With respect to large scale ESS 6

it was assumed that the generation of electricity by renewable sources exceeding 17 (2015 7

value [15]) of the total electricity generation necessitates a certain amount of ESS buffer 8

capacity EU 2020 and 2030 targets [16 17] for the share of renewable electricity generation 9

were used as a forecast model The buffer capacity demand was estimated to be 70 of the 10

daily electrical energy generated by renewables exceeding the share of 17 11

A lifetime of 20 years with a replacement rate of 10 was assumed for home ESS and a 12

lifetime of 20 years with a battery replacement rate of 80 within this lifetime was assumed 13

for large scale ESS System capacities were modelled by a power law based on present-day 14

values The assumptions for the market model are summarized in Table 7 and Table 8 and 15

shall be subject to discussion during the stakeholder meeting 16

224 Summary of the market sales forecast and estimation of the future 1

and past stock 2

As shown in sections 222 and 223 several drivers exist for the application of battery storage 3

systems in stationary and motive applications While the demand for battery capacity 4

generated by BEV and PHEV passenger cars was on the level of several GWh for 2017 the 5

ESS markets might still be below the 1 GWh mark in the EU 6

With respect to the increase of average battery capacity installed in different applications (see 7

Figure 22) and the growth rates for the sales of xEV and ESS (see sections 2223 and 8

2232) forecasts for the total new installations (including replacements) of batteries in the 9

23 Market trends 3

231 General objective of subtask 23 and approach 4

The following chapter provides a comprehensive market overview on global battery sales 5

demand and players Starting with the market development of Lithium-ion batteries between 6

2010 to 2017 scenarios until 2025 to 2030 are presented including a meta-analysis of several 7

most recent market reports (eg [18ndash27]) Step by step the regional markets and markets by 8

applications will be specified 9

232 Market drivers and CO2 legislation [28] 10

Climate and energy policies are main drivers for the energy future and are expected to lead to 11

an increasing demand for energy storage in the mid and long term (see Figure 24) According 12

to the European Unionacutes decarbonization objective a reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) 13

emissions to 80 ndash 95 below 1990 levels should be achieved by 2050 14

In particular for the transport sector no full decarbonization is achieved [29] even in the longer 15

term (other sectors have to compensate with higher GHG reductions) The overall reduction 16

achieved in the transport sector by 2050 is only around 60 below 1990 levels The 17

increasing trend in emissions seen over the past 20 years is expected to reverse by the CO2 18

legislation From 2020 on the fleet average to be achieved by all new cars is 95 grams of CO2 19

per kilometer (compared to 130 gkm in 2015) 20

Many other governments world-wide have specified CO2 emission targets and are striving 21

towards a low carbon economy Particularly in the field of passenger and commercial vehicles 22

fuel consumption and emission targets have been installed which significantly drive the 23

introduction of battery or fuel cell powered electric vehicles Among these emission policies 24

the targets set by the EU are among the most ambitious (see Table 11) Meeting them will 25

require a significant share of electric vehicles 26

Table 11 Overview about fuel consumption and CO2-emission targets for passenger vehicles 1

of the EU and other countries leading battery and electric mobility markets [30] 2

In this context electric mobility is gaining importance since electric vehicles especially plug-3

in hybrid and pure battery electric vehicles can help to achieve or fulfill these limits due to 4

improved CO2 footprints compared to conventional cars However for low CO2 footprints over 5

the lifetime of electric cars a high share of ldquolow carbonrdquo renewable energy sources (RES) in 6

the energy mix is needed and important (Figure 24 left side) 7

8

Figure 24 Climate and energy policies as drivers for future energy storage demand [28] 9

The EU Energy Roadmap 2050 [31 32] has shown across six scenarios that the 10

decarbonization goal can be achieved if the share of renewable energy sources (RES) among 11

the power generation capacity is high (gt 60 until 2050) for all scenarios Especially for the 12

high RES scenario the share of fluctuating energy generation (wind photovoltaic ndash PV) is the 13

strongest which has to be balanced Grid expansion andor flexibilization measures (eg 14

demand side management power to gas and vehicle to grid besides stationary battery 15

storage) are potential solutions Thus the high RES scenario is the most interesting scenario 16

with respect to a potential future demand for energy storage solutions (ESS) on local 17

distribution and transmission grid levels (Figure 24 right side) In order to have a significant 18

GHG reduction with EVs it will also be important to achieve the RES targets 19

233 The developing battery market 1

The total annual battery market is currently on the level of 45-60 billion Euro representing 2

approximately 400-500 GWh (including Lead-acid Lithium-Ion and other batteries) [33] 3

Lithium-ion batteries (LIB) have succeeded because of their high gravimetric and volumetric 4

energy densities and have a market share of about a third in terms of value among the whole 5

battery market The growth is driven by the decreasing cell costs of less than 170 eurokWh for a 6

standard cylindrical cell (lowest prices) approaching the 90 eurokWh mark in the next years This 7

cost degression is due to increasing capacity demand and production and thus due to scale 8

effects 9

Although the LIB market is drastically growing with annual growth rates of up to 30 percent 10

on average (in terms of battery capacity demand) the dominating battery technology in terms 11

of capacity however are still lead-acid batteries representing about 90 percent of the global 12

demand in volume around 2010 and 80 percent in 2017 13

14

15

Figure 25 Historical development of the global battery demand in GWh (left axis for NiCd 16

NiMH right axis for all other battery types grey total battery demand) [34] 17

Other mature battery technologies like NiCd (still partly used in power tools) and NiMH (still 18

used in hybrid electric vehicles HEV) are slowly declining and are expected to disappear from 19

the market in the next decade The diversification of future battery applications however will 20

also broaden the range of battery technologies Emerging technologies like Na-based Metal-21

Sulfur or Redox Flow batteries are developing and may lead to attractive solutions eg with 22

respect to cost and resource availability advantages However due to very strict requirements 23

on volumetric energy densities these technologies are expected to be relevant for stationary 24

or other special markets and less for the most significant electric vehicle market In general 25

each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses and none of them can satisfy all user 26

demands Hence a broader application-specific technology portfolio is urgently needed in 27

order to provide alternative technology solutions in the future 28

The extremely dynamic development of the global LIB demand will lead to the TWh level latest 29

around 2030 and grow further after 2030 Thus LIB will very soon transform into the 30

dominating energy storage technology 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

34

Figure 26 shows three different scenarios for the global demand for LIB between 2010 and 1

2030 (green curves) along with global production capacities (orange and blue curve)[33] 2

While at the beginning of the decade the demand and sales numbers followed the medium 3

growth rate trend scenario the market has been approaching the high growth rate scenario in 4

the last years This is mainly due to the strong engagement of politics and respective 5

regulation and subsidy programs for electric mobility As can be seen from the graph the 6

share of demand generated by motive applications is expected to significantly grow in the next 7

years and might account for more than one third of the total LIB demand by 2025 8

To face this increasing demand for LIB cells accordingly production capacities need to be 9

build up in the near future Based on the currently existing cell production capacities and the 10

global announcements from established and new cell producers until 2025 the LIB cell 11

production capacities (blue line in 12

Figure 26) have been identified Compared to 15 GWh added production capacity between 13

2013 and 2016 in the next years around 50 GWh will be added annually leading to around 14

700 GWh production capacities until 2025 (in the optimistic case see blue line in 15

Figure 26) The announcements include established players such as Panasonic (JP) LG 16

Chem (KR) Samsung (KR) SKI (KR) BYD (CN) Lishen (CN) CATL (CN) CALB (CN) 17

OPTIMUM (CN) and several further Chinese cell producers Also new players such as TerraE 18

(DE) Northvolt (SW) Boston Energy (US AU) Energy Absolute (Thailand) are included 19

while accounting for the different stages of expansion [20 27] 20

21

234 Battery markets by application 23

Diversification of applications for batteries 24

The above described global developments of battery demand and production strongly concern 25

high-energy lithium-ion batteries with the cell chemistries NMC NCA (Ni-rich and Co-reduced 26

cathodes) and SiC (high capacity SiC anodes with 5-10 or higher Si content) and cell 27

formats cylindrical (eg larger 21700 compared to standard 18650) large pouch or prismatic 28

cells The target is to develop and produce cells with improved gravimetric and volumetric 29

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

35

energy densities and reduced costs in order to meet the requirements of the automotive 1

industry Electric passenger cars are driving the demand and thus development of the battery 2

technology and these optimized and cost reduced batteries define the benchmark today and 3

in the future 4

LIB demand by applications 5

In Figure 27 the global LIB demand is broken down to the three main sectors for battery 6

demand which can be characterised each having different profiles of requirement 7

bull electric mobility or electric vehicles (EV including eg passenger cars light 8

commercial vehicles buses trucks scooters ebikes etc) 9

bull stationary energy storage systems (ESS) and 10

bull portable devices (3C ndash Computer Communication Consumer) 11

The LIB cell demand developed to almost 25 GWh in 2010 since the market introduction in 12

the early 1990s and dominantly resulted from portable devices In 2015 the cell demand of 13

about 70 GWh was distributed already almost 5050 between 3C and EV applications 14

15

Figure 27 Global LIB demand (in GWh and share in ) by segment [34] 16

Since 2015 the global LIB demand has increased with compound annual growth rates 17

(CAGR) of ~25 from about 70 GWh to about 110 GWh in 2017 The market for electric 18

vehicles currently grows with 30-40 (and more depending on the application and region) and 19

a diversification in applications (eg buses trucks other light to heavy commercial vehicles 20

marine applications drones etc) can be observed 21

With the diversification of future markets and applications cost sensitive markets will arise for 22

which optimized high-energy and cost reduced automotive cells of certain cell formats will be 23

used However also applications with stronger requirements on long lifetime high cycleability 24

fast charging capability safety etc will emerge and diffuse where cost is not the most 25

relevant factor and other battery technologies (ie cell chemistries formats) can provide a 26

unique selling proposition and hence lead to a product differentiation 27

2341 LIB markets for 3C applications 28

Portable devices (3C) have been the main applications for LIB cells in the past Power tools 29

medical devices and wearables are expected to be products with an emerging future market 30

for small LIB cells but with enormous quantities The price per kWh that can be stored plays a 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

36

less important role for these applications As far as charging is concerned technologies such 1

as energy harvesting and wireless charging are expected to be introduced in the future For 2

many markets and products such as household devices garden cleaning power tools other 3

mobile leisure applications etc today mostly cylindrical LIB cells of the format 18650 are used 4

With the introduction of 21700 cells also larger cylindrical cells become available now and are 5

expected to be used in diffuse in such applications Although different specific cell chemistries 6

might be suitable depending on the concrete application again it can be stated that the 3C 7

segment is expected to lead to a comparably small battery capacity demand compared to the 8

EV segment and will not be the limiting segment with respect to the risk of resource 9

dependencies 10

In the next few years growth rates of about 5 to 10 percent are expected for the 3C markets 11

while laptop battery demand is developing at lower growth rates and power tools medical 12

devices etc are supporting the growth rates for the battery demand 13

14

15

Figure 28 Demand and growth of the 3C LIB market [34] 16

2342 LIB markets for stationary (ESS) applications 17

Stationary energy storage systems (ESS) can be divided into different size classes with regard 18

to the capacity and charging times Both together decide on the application area (eg small 19

PV storage at home peak load to long-term storage) [35] Beyond that the price per kWh put 20

through over the lifetime is the economic key factor (as synthesized by the LCOE levelized 21

cost of energy) In contrast gravimetric and volumetric energy density plays a subordinate 22

role Due to that lead-acid batteries were often used as storage technology for off- and on-23

grid storage Currently LIBs are being established for commercial use and meanwhile reach 24

an annual demand of some few GWh Other electrochemical storage technologies such as 25

sodium-sulfur batteries are still used but the demand for LIB is strongly increasing for ESS It 26

is expected that 2nd life concepts for batteries that had their first life in electric vehicles will 27

gain importance together with market diffusion in the EV segment as the requirements on the 28

batteries are less demanding in the ESS segment This however will require the development 29

of according business models standardization etc The much broader available technology 30

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

37

portfolio for ESS applications the use of 2nd life batteries and the fact that electric vehicle 1

batteries that are connected to the grid on a large scale with higher market diffusion can be 2

regarded as stationary storage systems as well (vehicle to grid V2G grid to vehicle G2V) help 3

to reduce the risk of technological and resource dependencies in the future 4

The market for stationary storage applications (ESS) is experiencing growth rates of 20 to 30 5

percent depending on individual market forecasts (in the last years CAGR have even been on 6

the level of 60 but decrease with increasing size of the market see Figure 29) 7

The market is currently on a level of few GWh including applications from smaller PV storage 8

systems of 5-10 kWh to larger industrial and grid connected installations for own power 9

consumption peak shaving etc on the MWh level Regarding these growth rates LIB for ESS 10

applications rapidly gain importance as de-central storage solutions compared to the currently 11

dominating central pumped hydro storage (PHS) Forecasts to 2025 differ by size and expect 12

an ESS LIB demand between 20-50 GWh (partially higher eg in [23]) but all forecasts identify 13

high growth rates 14

15

Figure 29 Demand and growth of the ESS LIB market [34] 16

17

2343 LIB markets for electric vehicle applications 18

One of the biggest challenges for batteries for electric vehicles (EV including electric cars 19

buses trucks etc) apart from their price is the increase of their volumetric and gravimetric 20

energy density The volumetric energy density is even more important for OEM due to 21

restricted and fixed space and location of the battery in an electric vehicle A very relevant 22

parameter of a battery is its charging and discharging power in particular in continuous 23

operation It determines the fast-charging capability which is an important argument in the 24

use and the establishment on the market At the same time this sets limits to the high-25

performance operation since energy consumption is reduced to protect the battery from 26

damage This illustrates the conflicting effect of different parameters on the battery lifetime 27

Price volume weight and thus charge density as well as chargedischarge rate in terms of 28

usage and durability are the most urgent challenges for battery manufacturers 29

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

38

The market for EV batteries is currently at the level of about 50 GWh (including electric 1

passenger cars busses trucks ebikes scooter forklifts etc) Growth rates are at 20 to 40 2

percent and the demand for EV batteries will lead to a share of about 66 percent in 2020 76 3

percent until 2025 and 80 percent or higher in the long term Electric passenger cars (BEV 4

and PHEV) define the by far largest market within the EV segment and are clearly driving the 5

technology development of high energy Lithium-Ion or Lithium-based batteries in the future 6

7

Figure 30 Demand and growth of the EV LIB market [34] 8

9

Other motive (or stationary or portable) markets applications besides the highly competitive 10

electric passenger cars therefore can offer interesting growth markets also for smaller cell 11

producers beyond the large Japanese Korean and Chinese cell producers These markets or 12

applications very often define concrete requirements for the battery performance they require 13

an in depth understanding and design from the cell chemistry format to the modulepack and 14

system integration and they still vary strongly by region and are connected to individual system 15

integrators or OEM This is because each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses 16

and none of them can satisfy all userapplication demands Hence a broader application 17

specific technology portfolio is even urgently needed in order to provide alternative individual 18

technology solutions for these emerging marketsapplications 19

20

235 Market channels and production structure 21

2351 Global production capacities and major players 22

Since their commercialization in the 1990s LIB have been predominantly produced by 23

Japanese and Korean companies Driven by the Chinese government particularly cell 24

producers but also companies covering other steps of the LIB value creation chain have been 25

established in China Due to a policy of simultaneous support for LIB production as well as for 26

application markets and due to an extensive subsidy scheme a large share of LIB production 27

capacities is located in China today 28

Figure 31 Figure 32 Figure 33 and Figure 34 show the global LIB production capacities of 29

major cell producers in 2018 as well as forecasts for 2020 2025 and 2030 respectively [36] 30

The data is based on announcements made by the cell producers As discussed in section 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

39

233 the actual time-frame for the implementation of the capacity expansions is often delayed 1

with respect to the original announcements Hence minimum and maximum values for the 2

production capacities are given 3

Figure 34 Global LIB production capacities of major cell producers in 2030 [36] 2

Until 2030 the announced production capacities add up to more than 1 TWh In total there 3

are about 30 cell producers which have announced to build up production capacities of more 4

than 10 GWhyear which can be considered to be a threshold in order to be able to produce 5

at competitve costs [36] If the announced capacities are fully utilized the ldquobig 4rdquo (Panasonic 6

CATL LGC and BYD) will be able to fully cover the market demand (gt550 GWh) until 2025 7

2352 Europes position in the global battery value chain 8

In the EU several actors are positioned which cover production steps along the whole value 9

chain of LIBs starting from raw material production to production of cells and systems and 10

finally recycling However with respect to global markets only few organizations within the EU 11

have a market share of more than 1 in their specific segment eg BASF Germany in the 12

field of electrolyte production [30] 13

An overview about existing and active companies is given by the European Battery Alliance 14

(see Figure 35) Due to the presence of strong automotive OEM LIB pack manufacturing and 15

system integration is taking place on large scale in Europe A particular gap in the value chain 16

is present due to the lack of a large-scale cell production capable of serving the volumes and 17

prices required by the automotive industry 18

Several consortia are currently attempting to build up a European large scale cell 4

manufacturing such as Nothvolt (Sweden) with 32 GWh until 2023 or Saft (together with 5

Siemens and Manz) [39] Recently the German government announced plans for funding of 6

a Batterie-Cell-Alliance between Germany and Poland with cell production capacities in the 7

Regions Lausitz (Germany) and Westpoland [40 41] At the cross section between RampD and 8

large-scale production also a Research Production with 600 Mio EUR funding is foreseen 9

whereas the Fraunhofer Society should coordinate and run such a research production [42] 10

The announced funding from the German government sums up to 2 bn EUR 11

Given all these announced investments and production capacities to build up in the next years 12

the cell production capacities of European cell manufacturers could sum up to over 40 GWh 13

beyond 2025 In contrast main Asian cell manufacturer have already started with cell 14

production (eg LG SDI) or plan to build up production capacities until 2020 to 2025 In 15

concrete there are plans from [43ndash51] 16

17

bull CATL (China) to build 14 GWh in Germany Erfurt beyond 2020 18

bull LG Chem (Japan) to build 15 to 24 GWh (for 03 Mio EVs) in Poland beyond 2020 19

bull Samsung SDI (Japan) to build 10 to 15 GWh beyond 2020 in Hungary (including a 20

recent 5 GWh announcement for 21700 cells for Land Rover 21

bull SK Innovation (Japan) to build 75 GWh in Hungary beyond 2020 22

bull PanasonicTesla to build a (assumed 35GWh) Gigafactory in Europa around 2025 23

bull as well as from BYD (China) GS Yuasa (Japan) and Farasis (US) to build production 24

capacities between 2020 and 2025 25

26

The production capacities from Asian (or non-European) cell manufacturer might sum up to 27

well above 82-96 GWh by 2025 and including BYD GS Yuasa Farasis etc capacities far 28

above 100 GWh can be expected Together with the new EU cell producers this could easily 29

sum up towards the above mentioned 200 GWh demand in Europe But it also clearly indicates 30

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

44

the competition the emerging European players have to face (besides the fact that the plans 1

of the Asian companies are expected to be realized already several years earlier as those of 2

the novel EU companies) 3

2353 Product design trends and technological roadmap 4

Concerning the battery technology or type (by chemistry format etc) which will most likely 5

be produced to address this increasing demand the global roadmaps of cell producers are 6

basically similar Based on state-of-the art cell design (eg LFP NCA based ldquogeneration 1rdquo 7

and NMC111 to NMC532 ldquogeneration 2abrdquo Li-ion batteries) [52] and state-of-the-art 8

production equipment incremental improvements are expected in the next few years but with 9

the target to get to higher-energy lithium-ion batteries Concerning the electrolytes still liquid 10

electrolytes will be used but adopted to the changing electrode materials (eg with additives) 11

Current trends for layered oxide cathodes describe the development of Ni-rich (Co reduced) 12

materials (NMC) A few cell producers are already using NMC811 or comparable cathode 13

materials others are still adopting NMC622 (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3ardquo) On cathode 14

side maybe even lower-cost Mn-rich High Energy NMCs (HE-NMC) might be realized and 15

produced within ~10 years as Mn is cheaper than Ni (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3brdquo) On 16

anode side the trend is to incorporate Si-nano particles to make use of the alloying reaction 17

between Si and Li yielding a high capacitance This however comes at the cost of cycle life 18

Further down the road we might see higher Si contents (~20) 19

20

All-solid-state batteries are on the roadmap of many battery producers but also OEM (also 21

referred to as ldquogeneration 4rdquo) The key performance parameters (KPI) are suitable for electric 22

mobility (EV) Main challenges are indeed manufacturability particularly for ceramic solid state 23

electrolytes which promise to yield the highest advantages over state of the art technologies 24

The market introduction in niche applications is expected possible prior to the use in 25

automotive applications First all-solid-state batteries might not be competitive in terms of 26

energy density but safety properties Later on energy densities of 350-400 Whkg and higher 27

are expected 28

Li-ion batteries but (according to the current level of knowledge) do not reach the necessary 5

KPIs in terms of energy density power density and cycling stability necessary for electric 6

mobility (these are marked in grey) USPs of these technologies can be cost resource 7

fundamental challenges are not solved yet (eg concerning the stability of materials and 9

241 General objective of subtask 24 and approach 3

Subtask 24 gives an overview about average production costs and consumer prices incl 4

VAT (for consumer prices streetprice) excl VAT (for B2B products) as well as an estimation 5

of repair and maintenance as well as installation and disposal costs 6

Due to their recent larger scale market introduction there is still little experience with 7

maintenance as well as disposal expenses Hence only estimations can be made based on 8

isolated sources 9

242 Development of LIB cell costs 10

As the core of LIB based energy storage systems the battery cell exhibits the highest cost 11

share During the last years particularly standardized 18650 format LIB cells have 12

experienced a steep cost learning curve benefiting from production scale effects but also 13

from technological advancements on material level increasing the energy density per volume 14

and weight and decreasing the amount of cost intense Cobalt-based components Compared 15

to this benchmark larger format LIB cells (Pouch prismatic) as are utilized in xEVs and ESS 16

predominantly feature lower energy densities at higher cost per kWh There are however no 17

principal limitations which would prevent a performance and cost development similar to what 18

was observed for cylindrical cells Figure 39 shows the cost learning curves for cylindrical as 19

well as larger format LIB cells [33] Today average costs for cells suitable for automotive use 20

are below 150 eurokWh (cylindrical) and around 200 eurokWh (Pouchprismatic) In specific cases 21

prices around 100 eurokWh have been reported already [53] It should however be noted that 22

with the current market situation LIB prices being below costs are not unlikely to occur 23

Until 2025 production costs of the different cell formats are expected to approach and fall 24

below the mark of 100 eurokWh between 2020 and 2025 Taking further developments on 25

material level into account costs around 60-100 eurokWh seam feasible past 2025 26

Figure 39 Cost learning curves for large LIB cells (cylindrical and Pouchprismatic) [33] 3

Similar cost learning curves have been observed for other battery technologies (see Figure 4

40) In principal cost degression can be limited by demand (compare NiCd) or by reaching 5

material cost limits (compare Pb) Also the diffusion of battery technologies in new markets 6

or applications can lead to further technological improvements and justify higher production 7

costs (compare deviation of NiMH Pb) Following the available data for LIB cells approx 100 8

$kWh (~89 eurokWh) are reached at a cumulative yearly production of 1TWh This mark is 9

expected to be reached between 2020 and 2030 10

Beyond 2030 LIB production costs are however expected to start deviating from this curve 11

due to limiting raw material prices 12

2432 ESS 7

According to recent end-customer price data provided in [55] for 2018 typical consumer prices 8

for small scale (~10 kWh) stationary home storage systems are between 5000 and 15000 9

Euros leading to a relative price of 800 to 1200 eurokWh It is expected that these system prices 10

will benefit from the growing battery markets (also xEV) since similar LIB cell types can be 11

applied in both application areas With respect to inverters and other system related costs the 12

smaller market volume of home ESS indicates lower economy of scale effects as compared 13

to cells 14

244 Installation repair and maintenance costs 15

2441 xEV 16

So far no comprehensive information on repair and maintenance costs for the battery system 17

of xEVs are available Due to still rather accommodating service policies repair or 18

replacement of batteries is so far often covered by the manufacturer 19

2451 Second life and recycling considerations 6

Until today only pilot projects Strategy of automotive OEM regarding second life applications 7

is not known 8

Value of recycled materials can be estimated 9

Three main scenarios possible after end of 1st life (xEV) 10

1 Disposal of batteries (eg separation of liquid and solid components hazardous waste 11

disposal) 12

2 Recycling of batteries and direct regeneration and re-use of cathode materials (2a) or 13

recovery of metals (2b) 14

3 2nd life in ESS applications under limited load (low DOD cycling low power) 15

16

Scenario 1 will add another component to battery costs scenario 2 and 3 could significantly 17

decrease the cost of batteries if energy efficient recycling methods can be developed or viable 18

2nd life business models are established 19

26 Annex 1

2611 Modelling of addressable markets for electric applications 2

Vehicle markets (in units of registrations in the EU28 per year) and ESS markets (in units of 3

number of installed home PV systems or in units of overall renewable (PV wind) electricity 4

generation in the EU28 per year) were modelled by exponential functions 5

119872119905119886119901119901(119905) = 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 6

With Mtapp(t) being the total market volume of an application M0 the market size in 2015 and 7

120591 times 119871119899(2) the time t necessary to double the initial market volume M0 M0 and Tau were chosen 8

to fit existing market data 9

119872119886119901119901(119905) = 119888 times 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 10

With Mapp(t) being the addressable market and c a factor equal or smaller than 1 Parameter 11

c lt 1 was chosen to take into account that not the whole existing market Mtapp might be 12

addressable by electric technologies Eg a share of vehicles primarily used for long distance 13

travel might not be addressable by BEV but by PHEV only 14

The market addressable for passenger PHEV (as a transition technology on the path to full 15

electric vehicles) was modelled as the difference of total vehicle sales and BEV sales 16

119872119875119867119864119881(119905) = 119888 times 119872119905119901119886119904119904119890119899119892119890119903(119905) minus 119878119861119864119881(119905) 17

The market addressable for passenger BEV was modelled like Mapp(t) with c lt 1 18

2612 Modelling of sales numbers of xEV and ESS 19

Yearly sales numbers Sapp(t) for the different applications were modelled by logistic growth 20

functions Logistic functions can model diffusion of technologies into existing markets with a 21

given market volume M The market volume can be a moving target M = M(t) The relative 22

change of sales numbers Srsquoapp(t)Sapp(t) is proportional to the market volume not yet 23

developed by a technology Mapp(t) ndash Sapp(t) 24

119878119886119901119901(119905) = 119872119886119901119901(119905) times1

1 + 119864119909119901(minus119872119886119901119901(119905) times (119905 minus 1199050)120591)(119872119886119901119901(119905)

119878119886119901119901(1199050)minus 1)

25

With Tau being a time constant and Sapp(t0) being the yearly sales number at year t0 (eg 26

2015) 27

Short time constants Tau of few years were used to model ESS sales Due to limitations of 28

the existing electricity grid to only buffer a certain share of fluctuating PV and wind generated 29

electricity the further expansion of renewable electricity generation might be strongly coupled 30

to ESS installations Hence ESS sales were modelled to closely follow the assumed 31

installations of renewable power in the limit of ldquovery fastrdquo market diffusion (120591 rarr 0) 32

2613 Modelling of battery system capacities 33

Battery capacities EBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws In 34

particular BEV battery capacities increased in the last years from 30 kWh in 2013 to more than 35

40 kWh in 2018 (EU sales and production averages) In the long term we expect BEV 36

capacities to converge towards a value sufficient to provide average driving ranges of some 37

100 km Battery capacity growth rates are hence supposed to slow down 38

52

119864119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198640 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 1

With E0 being the average battery capacity in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years and 2

b an exponent lt 1 The parameters were chosen to fit existing data 3

2614 Modelling of battery replacement rates 4

Battery replacement rates RrBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws 5

The replacement rate defines the share of batteries installed in year t that had to be replaced 6

within the lifetime of a system (xEV ESS) In particular for vehicles it is assumed that xEV 7

manufacturers currently install battery cells with a high lifetime and cyclability (several 8

thousand cycles) In the mid-term we expect that battery life and vehicle life (eg 200000 to 9

300000 km) will be matched by car manufacturers Assuming a constant vehicle lifetime 10

battery replacement rates are supposed to increase over time 11

119877119903119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198770 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 12

With R0 being the average replacement rate in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years 13

and b an exponent lt 1 At present there is no data available to fit the parameters Parameters 14

were estimated based on the usage profile and load of different applications 15

2615 Modelling of system lifetimes (xEV ESS) 16

System lifetimes Ltsystem(t) were assumed to be constant Ltsystem(t)= Ltsystem Parameters were 17

estimated based on manufacturer statements and typical lifetimes for combustion powered 18

vehicles 19

2616 Calculation of battery replacements 20

Battery replacements RpBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 21

calculated by assuming a uniform distribution of battery replacements over the lifetime 22

Ltsystem(i) of battery systems installed in year i 23

119877119901119861119886119905119905(119905) = sum119877119903119861119886119905119905(119894) times 119878119886119901119901(119894) times 119864119861119886119905119905(119894)

24

2617 Calculation of battery decommissions 25

Battery decommissions DcBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 26

assumed to happen coincident with the end of life of the systems (Ltsystem) they were installed 27

in in year i This neglects any second life usage in t gt i It was assumed that xEV or ESS 28

manufacturers will tune the battery lifetime to match the system lifetime (see 2614) 29

2618 Calculation of yearly installed battery capacity 31

The yearly installed battery capacity Sbapp(t) in the EU28 was calculated as 32

119878119887119886119901119901(119905) = 119878119886119901119901(119905) times 119864119886119901119901119861119886119905119905(119905) + 119877119901119886119901119901

the world Figure 19 shows the cumulated storage capacity (installed stock) for the EU28 Of 7

the 450 MWh installed until 2018 in total 340 MWh were installed in Germany and 80 MWh 8

Figure 19 Installed ESS capacity (stock) in large scale projects in EU28 A ratio of 11 with 2

respect to installed power and installed energy content (capacity) was assumed [14] 3

Table 6 lists larger scale (~MWh) stationary storage systems installed in the EU in 2017 [12] 4

80 of these installations are categorized as substation storage 6 relates to frequency 5

stabilization 5 to storage of wind-generated energy and 1 to storage of PV-generated 6

energy 7

Note that most of these installations are prototype or test facilities which does not allow to 8

use this application share as template for future market developments The total installed 9

capacity of 340 MWh in 2017 suggests that the market volume of large scale ESS is of the 10

same order of magnitude as that of home storage Note that the installed capacity for 2017 in 11

[14] is only 65 MWh It is however not stated in [12] whether the listed ESS projects are still in 12

construction or already operational 13

The data presented in sections 2231 2232 and 2233 was used as an input for a forecast 3

model on large scale and home ESS 4

EU wide sales numbers and growth rates for PV coupled home storage systems were 5

extrapolated with declining growth rates for 2035 and beyond With respect to large scale ESS 6

it was assumed that the generation of electricity by renewable sources exceeding 17 (2015 7

value [15]) of the total electricity generation necessitates a certain amount of ESS buffer 8

capacity EU 2020 and 2030 targets [16 17] for the share of renewable electricity generation 9

were used as a forecast model The buffer capacity demand was estimated to be 70 of the 10

daily electrical energy generated by renewables exceeding the share of 17 11

A lifetime of 20 years with a replacement rate of 10 was assumed for home ESS and a 12

lifetime of 20 years with a battery replacement rate of 80 within this lifetime was assumed 13

for large scale ESS System capacities were modelled by a power law based on present-day 14

values The assumptions for the market model are summarized in Table 7 and Table 8 and 15

shall be subject to discussion during the stakeholder meeting 16

224 Summary of the market sales forecast and estimation of the future 1

and past stock 2

As shown in sections 222 and 223 several drivers exist for the application of battery storage 3

systems in stationary and motive applications While the demand for battery capacity 4

generated by BEV and PHEV passenger cars was on the level of several GWh for 2017 the 5

ESS markets might still be below the 1 GWh mark in the EU 6

With respect to the increase of average battery capacity installed in different applications (see 7

Figure 22) and the growth rates for the sales of xEV and ESS (see sections 2223 and 8

2232) forecasts for the total new installations (including replacements) of batteries in the 9

EU28 are shown in Figure 23 See annex for further comments 10

11

Figure 22 Average system battery energy (kWh or MWh) forecast 12

23 Market trends 3

231 General objective of subtask 23 and approach 4

The following chapter provides a comprehensive market overview on global battery sales 5

demand and players Starting with the market development of Lithium-ion batteries between 6

2010 to 2017 scenarios until 2025 to 2030 are presented including a meta-analysis of several 7

most recent market reports (eg [18ndash27]) Step by step the regional markets and markets by 8

applications will be specified 9

232 Market drivers and CO2 legislation [28] 10

Climate and energy policies are main drivers for the energy future and are expected to lead to 11

an increasing demand for energy storage in the mid and long term (see Figure 24) According 12

to the European Unionacutes decarbonization objective a reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) 13

emissions to 80 ndash 95 below 1990 levels should be achieved by 2050 14

In particular for the transport sector no full decarbonization is achieved [29] even in the longer 15

term (other sectors have to compensate with higher GHG reductions) The overall reduction 16

achieved in the transport sector by 2050 is only around 60 below 1990 levels The 17

increasing trend in emissions seen over the past 20 years is expected to reverse by the CO2 18

legislation From 2020 on the fleet average to be achieved by all new cars is 95 grams of CO2 19

per kilometer (compared to 130 gkm in 2015) 20

Many other governments world-wide have specified CO2 emission targets and are striving 21

towards a low carbon economy Particularly in the field of passenger and commercial vehicles 22

fuel consumption and emission targets have been installed which significantly drive the 23

introduction of battery or fuel cell powered electric vehicles Among these emission policies 24

the targets set by the EU are among the most ambitious (see Table 11) Meeting them will 25

require a significant share of electric vehicles 26

Table 11 Overview about fuel consumption and CO2-emission targets for passenger vehicles 1

of the EU and other countries leading battery and electric mobility markets [30] 2

In this context electric mobility is gaining importance since electric vehicles especially plug-3

in hybrid and pure battery electric vehicles can help to achieve or fulfill these limits due to 4

improved CO2 footprints compared to conventional cars However for low CO2 footprints over 5

the lifetime of electric cars a high share of ldquolow carbonrdquo renewable energy sources (RES) in 6

the energy mix is needed and important (Figure 24 left side) 7

8

Figure 24 Climate and energy policies as drivers for future energy storage demand [28] 9

The EU Energy Roadmap 2050 [31 32] has shown across six scenarios that the 10

decarbonization goal can be achieved if the share of renewable energy sources (RES) among 11

the power generation capacity is high (gt 60 until 2050) for all scenarios Especially for the 12

high RES scenario the share of fluctuating energy generation (wind photovoltaic ndash PV) is the 13

strongest which has to be balanced Grid expansion andor flexibilization measures (eg 14

demand side management power to gas and vehicle to grid besides stationary battery 15

storage) are potential solutions Thus the high RES scenario is the most interesting scenario 16

with respect to a potential future demand for energy storage solutions (ESS) on local 17

distribution and transmission grid levels (Figure 24 right side) In order to have a significant 18

GHG reduction with EVs it will also be important to achieve the RES targets 19

233 The developing battery market 1

The total annual battery market is currently on the level of 45-60 billion Euro representing 2

approximately 400-500 GWh (including Lead-acid Lithium-Ion and other batteries) [33] 3

Lithium-ion batteries (LIB) have succeeded because of their high gravimetric and volumetric 4

energy densities and have a market share of about a third in terms of value among the whole 5

battery market The growth is driven by the decreasing cell costs of less than 170 eurokWh for a 6

standard cylindrical cell (lowest prices) approaching the 90 eurokWh mark in the next years This 7

cost degression is due to increasing capacity demand and production and thus due to scale 8

effects 9

Although the LIB market is drastically growing with annual growth rates of up to 30 percent 10

on average (in terms of battery capacity demand) the dominating battery technology in terms 11

of capacity however are still lead-acid batteries representing about 90 percent of the global 12

demand in volume around 2010 and 80 percent in 2017 13

14

15

Figure 25 Historical development of the global battery demand in GWh (left axis for NiCd 16

NiMH right axis for all other battery types grey total battery demand) [34] 17

Other mature battery technologies like NiCd (still partly used in power tools) and NiMH (still 18

used in hybrid electric vehicles HEV) are slowly declining and are expected to disappear from 19

the market in the next decade The diversification of future battery applications however will 20

also broaden the range of battery technologies Emerging technologies like Na-based Metal-21

Sulfur or Redox Flow batteries are developing and may lead to attractive solutions eg with 22

respect to cost and resource availability advantages However due to very strict requirements 23

on volumetric energy densities these technologies are expected to be relevant for stationary 24

or other special markets and less for the most significant electric vehicle market In general 25

each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses and none of them can satisfy all user 26

demands Hence a broader application-specific technology portfolio is urgently needed in 27

order to provide alternative technology solutions in the future 28

The extremely dynamic development of the global LIB demand will lead to the TWh level latest 29

around 2030 and grow further after 2030 Thus LIB will very soon transform into the 30

dominating energy storage technology 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

34

Figure 26 shows three different scenarios for the global demand for LIB between 2010 and 1

2030 (green curves) along with global production capacities (orange and blue curve)[33] 2

While at the beginning of the decade the demand and sales numbers followed the medium 3

growth rate trend scenario the market has been approaching the high growth rate scenario in 4

the last years This is mainly due to the strong engagement of politics and respective 5

regulation and subsidy programs for electric mobility As can be seen from the graph the 6

share of demand generated by motive applications is expected to significantly grow in the next 7

years and might account for more than one third of the total LIB demand by 2025 8

To face this increasing demand for LIB cells accordingly production capacities need to be 9

build up in the near future Based on the currently existing cell production capacities and the 10

global announcements from established and new cell producers until 2025 the LIB cell 11

production capacities (blue line in 12

Figure 26) have been identified Compared to 15 GWh added production capacity between 13

2013 and 2016 in the next years around 50 GWh will be added annually leading to around 14

700 GWh production capacities until 2025 (in the optimistic case see blue line in 15

Figure 26) The announcements include established players such as Panasonic (JP) LG 16

Chem (KR) Samsung (KR) SKI (KR) BYD (CN) Lishen (CN) CATL (CN) CALB (CN) 17

OPTIMUM (CN) and several further Chinese cell producers Also new players such as TerraE 18

(DE) Northvolt (SW) Boston Energy (US AU) Energy Absolute (Thailand) are included 19

while accounting for the different stages of expansion [20 27] 20

21

234 Battery markets by application 23

Diversification of applications for batteries 24

The above described global developments of battery demand and production strongly concern 25

high-energy lithium-ion batteries with the cell chemistries NMC NCA (Ni-rich and Co-reduced 26

cathodes) and SiC (high capacity SiC anodes with 5-10 or higher Si content) and cell 27

formats cylindrical (eg larger 21700 compared to standard 18650) large pouch or prismatic 28

cells The target is to develop and produce cells with improved gravimetric and volumetric 29

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

35

energy densities and reduced costs in order to meet the requirements of the automotive 1

industry Electric passenger cars are driving the demand and thus development of the battery 2

technology and these optimized and cost reduced batteries define the benchmark today and 3

in the future 4

LIB demand by applications 5

In Figure 27 the global LIB demand is broken down to the three main sectors for battery 6

demand which can be characterised each having different profiles of requirement 7

bull electric mobility or electric vehicles (EV including eg passenger cars light 8

commercial vehicles buses trucks scooters ebikes etc) 9

bull stationary energy storage systems (ESS) and 10

bull portable devices (3C ndash Computer Communication Consumer) 11

The LIB cell demand developed to almost 25 GWh in 2010 since the market introduction in 12

the early 1990s and dominantly resulted from portable devices In 2015 the cell demand of 13

about 70 GWh was distributed already almost 5050 between 3C and EV applications 14

15

Figure 27 Global LIB demand (in GWh and share in ) by segment [34] 16

Since 2015 the global LIB demand has increased with compound annual growth rates 17

(CAGR) of ~25 from about 70 GWh to about 110 GWh in 2017 The market for electric 18

vehicles currently grows with 30-40 (and more depending on the application and region) and 19

a diversification in applications (eg buses trucks other light to heavy commercial vehicles 20

marine applications drones etc) can be observed 21

With the diversification of future markets and applications cost sensitive markets will arise for 22

which optimized high-energy and cost reduced automotive cells of certain cell formats will be 23

used However also applications with stronger requirements on long lifetime high cycleability 24

fast charging capability safety etc will emerge and diffuse where cost is not the most 25

relevant factor and other battery technologies (ie cell chemistries formats) can provide a 26

unique selling proposition and hence lead to a product differentiation 27

2341 LIB markets for 3C applications 28

Portable devices (3C) have been the main applications for LIB cells in the past Power tools 29

medical devices and wearables are expected to be products with an emerging future market 30

for small LIB cells but with enormous quantities The price per kWh that can be stored plays a 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

36

less important role for these applications As far as charging is concerned technologies such 1

as energy harvesting and wireless charging are expected to be introduced in the future For 2

many markets and products such as household devices garden cleaning power tools other 3

mobile leisure applications etc today mostly cylindrical LIB cells of the format 18650 are used 4

With the introduction of 21700 cells also larger cylindrical cells become available now and are 5

expected to be used in diffuse in such applications Although different specific cell chemistries 6

might be suitable depending on the concrete application again it can be stated that the 3C 7

segment is expected to lead to a comparably small battery capacity demand compared to the 8

EV segment and will not be the limiting segment with respect to the risk of resource 9

dependencies 10

In the next few years growth rates of about 5 to 10 percent are expected for the 3C markets 11

while laptop battery demand is developing at lower growth rates and power tools medical 12

devices etc are supporting the growth rates for the battery demand 13

14

15

Figure 28 Demand and growth of the 3C LIB market [34] 16

2342 LIB markets for stationary (ESS) applications 17

Stationary energy storage systems (ESS) can be divided into different size classes with regard 18

to the capacity and charging times Both together decide on the application area (eg small 19

PV storage at home peak load to long-term storage) [35] Beyond that the price per kWh put 20

through over the lifetime is the economic key factor (as synthesized by the LCOE levelized 21

cost of energy) In contrast gravimetric and volumetric energy density plays a subordinate 22

role Due to that lead-acid batteries were often used as storage technology for off- and on-23

grid storage Currently LIBs are being established for commercial use and meanwhile reach 24

an annual demand of some few GWh Other electrochemical storage technologies such as 25

sodium-sulfur batteries are still used but the demand for LIB is strongly increasing for ESS It 26

is expected that 2nd life concepts for batteries that had their first life in electric vehicles will 27

gain importance together with market diffusion in the EV segment as the requirements on the 28

batteries are less demanding in the ESS segment This however will require the development 29

of according business models standardization etc The much broader available technology 30

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

37

portfolio for ESS applications the use of 2nd life batteries and the fact that electric vehicle 1

batteries that are connected to the grid on a large scale with higher market diffusion can be 2

regarded as stationary storage systems as well (vehicle to grid V2G grid to vehicle G2V) help 3

to reduce the risk of technological and resource dependencies in the future 4

The market for stationary storage applications (ESS) is experiencing growth rates of 20 to 30 5

percent depending on individual market forecasts (in the last years CAGR have even been on 6

the level of 60 but decrease with increasing size of the market see Figure 29) 7

The market is currently on a level of few GWh including applications from smaller PV storage 8

systems of 5-10 kWh to larger industrial and grid connected installations for own power 9

consumption peak shaving etc on the MWh level Regarding these growth rates LIB for ESS 10

applications rapidly gain importance as de-central storage solutions compared to the currently 11

dominating central pumped hydro storage (PHS) Forecasts to 2025 differ by size and expect 12

an ESS LIB demand between 20-50 GWh (partially higher eg in [23]) but all forecasts identify 13

high growth rates 14

15

Figure 29 Demand and growth of the ESS LIB market [34] 16

17

2343 LIB markets for electric vehicle applications 18

One of the biggest challenges for batteries for electric vehicles (EV including electric cars 19

buses trucks etc) apart from their price is the increase of their volumetric and gravimetric 20

energy density The volumetric energy density is even more important for OEM due to 21

restricted and fixed space and location of the battery in an electric vehicle A very relevant 22

parameter of a battery is its charging and discharging power in particular in continuous 23

operation It determines the fast-charging capability which is an important argument in the 24

use and the establishment on the market At the same time this sets limits to the high-25

performance operation since energy consumption is reduced to protect the battery from 26

damage This illustrates the conflicting effect of different parameters on the battery lifetime 27

Price volume weight and thus charge density as well as chargedischarge rate in terms of 28

usage and durability are the most urgent challenges for battery manufacturers 29

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

38

The market for EV batteries is currently at the level of about 50 GWh (including electric 1

passenger cars busses trucks ebikes scooter forklifts etc) Growth rates are at 20 to 40 2

percent and the demand for EV batteries will lead to a share of about 66 percent in 2020 76 3

percent until 2025 and 80 percent or higher in the long term Electric passenger cars (BEV 4

and PHEV) define the by far largest market within the EV segment and are clearly driving the 5

technology development of high energy Lithium-Ion or Lithium-based batteries in the future 6

7

Figure 30 Demand and growth of the EV LIB market [34] 8

9

Other motive (or stationary or portable) markets applications besides the highly competitive 10

electric passenger cars therefore can offer interesting growth markets also for smaller cell 11

producers beyond the large Japanese Korean and Chinese cell producers These markets or 12

applications very often define concrete requirements for the battery performance they require 13

an in depth understanding and design from the cell chemistry format to the modulepack and 14

system integration and they still vary strongly by region and are connected to individual system 15

integrators or OEM This is because each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses 16

and none of them can satisfy all userapplication demands Hence a broader application 17

specific technology portfolio is even urgently needed in order to provide alternative individual 18

technology solutions for these emerging marketsapplications 19

20

235 Market channels and production structure 21

2351 Global production capacities and major players 22

Since their commercialization in the 1990s LIB have been predominantly produced by 23

Japanese and Korean companies Driven by the Chinese government particularly cell 24

producers but also companies covering other steps of the LIB value creation chain have been 25

established in China Due to a policy of simultaneous support for LIB production as well as for 26

application markets and due to an extensive subsidy scheme a large share of LIB production 27

capacities is located in China today 28

Figure 31 Figure 32 Figure 33 and Figure 34 show the global LIB production capacities of 29

major cell producers in 2018 as well as forecasts for 2020 2025 and 2030 respectively [36] 30

The data is based on announcements made by the cell producers As discussed in section 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

39

233 the actual time-frame for the implementation of the capacity expansions is often delayed 1

with respect to the original announcements Hence minimum and maximum values for the 2

production capacities are given 3

Figure 34 Global LIB production capacities of major cell producers in 2030 [36] 2

Until 2030 the announced production capacities add up to more than 1 TWh In total there 3

are about 30 cell producers which have announced to build up production capacities of more 4

than 10 GWhyear which can be considered to be a threshold in order to be able to produce 5

at competitve costs [36] If the announced capacities are fully utilized the ldquobig 4rdquo (Panasonic 6

CATL LGC and BYD) will be able to fully cover the market demand (gt550 GWh) until 2025 7

2352 Europes position in the global battery value chain 8

In the EU several actors are positioned which cover production steps along the whole value 9

chain of LIBs starting from raw material production to production of cells and systems and 10

finally recycling However with respect to global markets only few organizations within the EU 11

have a market share of more than 1 in their specific segment eg BASF Germany in the 12

field of electrolyte production [30] 13

An overview about existing and active companies is given by the European Battery Alliance 14

(see Figure 35) Due to the presence of strong automotive OEM LIB pack manufacturing and 15

system integration is taking place on large scale in Europe A particular gap in the value chain 16

is present due to the lack of a large-scale cell production capable of serving the volumes and 17

prices required by the automotive industry 18

Several consortia are currently attempting to build up a European large scale cell 4

manufacturing such as Nothvolt (Sweden) with 32 GWh until 2023 or Saft (together with 5

Siemens and Manz) [39] Recently the German government announced plans for funding of 6

a Batterie-Cell-Alliance between Germany and Poland with cell production capacities in the 7

Regions Lausitz (Germany) and Westpoland [40 41] At the cross section between RampD and 8

large-scale production also a Research Production with 600 Mio EUR funding is foreseen 9

whereas the Fraunhofer Society should coordinate and run such a research production [42] 10

The announced funding from the German government sums up to 2 bn EUR 11

Given all these announced investments and production capacities to build up in the next years 12

the cell production capacities of European cell manufacturers could sum up to over 40 GWh 13

beyond 2025 In contrast main Asian cell manufacturer have already started with cell 14

production (eg LG SDI) or plan to build up production capacities until 2020 to 2025 In 15

concrete there are plans from [43ndash51] 16

17

bull CATL (China) to build 14 GWh in Germany Erfurt beyond 2020 18

bull LG Chem (Japan) to build 15 to 24 GWh (for 03 Mio EVs) in Poland beyond 2020 19

bull Samsung SDI (Japan) to build 10 to 15 GWh beyond 2020 in Hungary (including a 20

recent 5 GWh announcement for 21700 cells for Land Rover 21

bull SK Innovation (Japan) to build 75 GWh in Hungary beyond 2020 22

bull PanasonicTesla to build a (assumed 35GWh) Gigafactory in Europa around 2025 23

bull as well as from BYD (China) GS Yuasa (Japan) and Farasis (US) to build production 24

capacities between 2020 and 2025 25

26

The production capacities from Asian (or non-European) cell manufacturer might sum up to 27

well above 82-96 GWh by 2025 and including BYD GS Yuasa Farasis etc capacities far 28

above 100 GWh can be expected Together with the new EU cell producers this could easily 29

sum up towards the above mentioned 200 GWh demand in Europe But it also clearly indicates 30

the competition the emerging European players have to face (besides the fact that the plans 1

of the Asian companies are expected to be realized already several years earlier as those of 2

the novel EU companies) 3

2353 Product design trends and technological roadmap 4

Concerning the battery technology or type (by chemistry format etc) which will most likely 5

be produced to address this increasing demand the global roadmaps of cell producers are 6

basically similar Based on state-of-the art cell design (eg LFP NCA based ldquogeneration 1rdquo 7

and NMC111 to NMC532 ldquogeneration 2abrdquo Li-ion batteries) [52] and state-of-the-art 8

production equipment incremental improvements are expected in the next few years but with 9

the target to get to higher-energy lithium-ion batteries Concerning the electrolytes still liquid 10

electrolytes will be used but adopted to the changing electrode materials (eg with additives) 11

Current trends for layered oxide cathodes describe the development of Ni-rich (Co reduced) 12

materials (NMC) A few cell producers are already using NMC811 or comparable cathode 13

materials others are still adopting NMC622 (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3ardquo) On cathode 14

side maybe even lower-cost Mn-rich High Energy NMCs (HE-NMC) might be realized and 15

produced within ~10 years as Mn is cheaper than Ni (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3brdquo) On 16

anode side the trend is to incorporate Si-nano particles to make use of the alloying reaction 17

between Si and Li yielding a high capacitance This however comes at the cost of cycle life 18

Further down the road we might see higher Si contents (~20) 19

20

All-solid-state batteries are on the roadmap of many battery producers but also OEM (also 21

referred to as ldquogeneration 4rdquo) The key performance parameters (KPI) are suitable for electric 22

mobility (EV) Main challenges are indeed manufacturability particularly for ceramic solid state 23

electrolytes which promise to yield the highest advantages over state of the art technologies 24

The market introduction in niche applications is expected possible prior to the use in 25

automotive applications First all-solid-state batteries might not be competitive in terms of 26

energy density but safety properties Later on energy densities of 350-400 Whkg and higher 27

are expected 28

Other technologies (not marked in blue in the above figure) feature certain USPs compared to 4

Li-ion batteries but (according to the current level of knowledge) do not reach the necessary 5

KPIs in terms of energy density power density and cycling stability necessary for electric 6

mobility (these are marked in grey) USPs of these technologies can be cost resource 7

availability either volumetric or gravimetric energy density or others But often even 8

fundamental challenges are not solved yet (eg concerning the stability of materials and 9

24 Consumer expenditure base data 2

241 General objective of subtask 24 and approach 3

Subtask 24 gives an overview about average production costs and consumer prices incl 4

VAT (for consumer prices streetprice) excl VAT (for B2B products) as well as an estimation 5

of repair and maintenance as well as installation and disposal costs 6

Due to their recent larger scale market introduction there is still little experience with 7

maintenance as well as disposal expenses Hence only estimations can be made based on 8

isolated sources 9

242 Development of LIB cell costs 10

As the core of LIB based energy storage systems the battery cell exhibits the highest cost 11

share During the last years particularly standardized 18650 format LIB cells have 12

experienced a steep cost learning curve benefiting from production scale effects but also 13

from technological advancements on material level increasing the energy density per volume 14

and weight and decreasing the amount of cost intense Cobalt-based components Compared 15

to this benchmark larger format LIB cells (Pouch prismatic) as are utilized in xEVs and ESS 16

predominantly feature lower energy densities at higher cost per kWh There are however no 17

principal limitations which would prevent a performance and cost development similar to what 18

was observed for cylindrical cells Figure 39 shows the cost learning curves for cylindrical as 19

well as larger format LIB cells [33] Today average costs for cells suitable for automotive use 20

are below 150 eurokWh (cylindrical) and around 200 eurokWh (Pouchprismatic) In specific cases 21

prices around 100 eurokWh have been reported already [53] It should however be noted that 22

with the current market situation LIB prices being below costs are not unlikely to occur 23

Until 2025 production costs of the different cell formats are expected to approach and fall 24

below the mark of 100 eurokWh between 2020 and 2025 Taking further developments on 25

material level into account costs around 60-100 eurokWh seam feasible past 2025 26

Figure 39 Cost learning curves for large LIB cells (cylindrical and Pouchprismatic) [33] 3

Similar cost learning curves have been observed for other battery technologies (see Figure 4

40) In principal cost degression can be limited by demand (compare NiCd) or by reaching 5

material cost limits (compare Pb) Also the diffusion of battery technologies in new markets 6

or applications can lead to further technological improvements and justify higher production 7

costs (compare deviation of NiMH Pb) Following the available data for LIB cells approx 100 8

$kWh (~89 eurokWh) are reached at a cumulative yearly production of 1TWh This mark is 9

expected to be reached between 2020 and 2030 10

Beyond 2030 LIB production costs are however expected to start deviating from this curve 11

due to limiting raw material prices 12

2432 ESS 7

According to recent end-customer price data provided in [55] for 2018 typical consumer prices 8

for small scale (~10 kWh) stationary home storage systems are between 5000 and 15000 9

Euros leading to a relative price of 800 to 1200 eurokWh It is expected that these system prices 10

will benefit from the growing battery markets (also xEV) since similar LIB cell types can be 11

applied in both application areas With respect to inverters and other system related costs the 12

smaller market volume of home ESS indicates lower economy of scale effects as compared 13

to cells 14

244 Installation repair and maintenance costs 15

2441 xEV 16

So far no comprehensive information on repair and maintenance costs for the battery system 17

of xEVs are available Due to still rather accommodating service policies repair or 18

replacement of batteries is so far often covered by the manufacturer 19

2451 Second life and recycling considerations 6

Until today only pilot projects Strategy of automotive OEM regarding second life applications 7

is not known 8

Value of recycled materials can be estimated 9

Three main scenarios possible after end of 1st life (xEV) 10

1 Disposal of batteries (eg separation of liquid and solid components hazardous waste 11

disposal) 12

2 Recycling of batteries and direct regeneration and re-use of cathode materials (2a) or 13

recovery of metals (2b) 14

3 2nd life in ESS applications under limited load (low DOD cycling low power) 15

16

Scenario 1 will add another component to battery costs scenario 2 and 3 could significantly 17

decrease the cost of batteries if energy efficient recycling methods can be developed or viable 18

2nd life business models are established 19

26 Annex 1

2611 Modelling of addressable markets for electric applications 2

Vehicle markets (in units of registrations in the EU28 per year) and ESS markets (in units of 3

number of installed home PV systems or in units of overall renewable (PV wind) electricity 4

generation in the EU28 per year) were modelled by exponential functions 5

119872119905119886119901119901(119905) = 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 6

With Mtapp(t) being the total market volume of an application M0 the market size in 2015 and 7

120591 times 119871119899(2) the time t necessary to double the initial market volume M0 M0 and Tau were chosen 8

to fit existing market data 9

119872119886119901119901(119905) = 119888 times 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 10

With Mapp(t) being the addressable market and c a factor equal or smaller than 1 Parameter 11

c lt 1 was chosen to take into account that not the whole existing market Mtapp might be 12

addressable by electric technologies Eg a share of vehicles primarily used for long distance 13

travel might not be addressable by BEV but by PHEV only 14

The market addressable for passenger PHEV (as a transition technology on the path to full 15

electric vehicles) was modelled as the difference of total vehicle sales and BEV sales 16

119872119875119867119864119881(119905) = 119888 times 119872119905119901119886119904119904119890119899119892119890119903(119905) minus 119878119861119864119881(119905) 17

The market addressable for passenger BEV was modelled like Mapp(t) with c lt 1 18

2612 Modelling of sales numbers of xEV and ESS 19

Yearly sales numbers Sapp(t) for the different applications were modelled by logistic growth 20

functions Logistic functions can model diffusion of technologies into existing markets with a 21

given market volume M The market volume can be a moving target M = M(t) The relative 22

change of sales numbers Srsquoapp(t)Sapp(t) is proportional to the market volume not yet 23

developed by a technology Mapp(t) ndash Sapp(t) 24

119878119886119901119901(119905) = 119872119886119901119901(119905) times1

1 + 119864119909119901(minus119872119886119901119901(119905) times (119905 minus 1199050)120591)(119872119886119901119901(119905)

119878119886119901119901(1199050)minus 1)

25

With Tau being a time constant and Sapp(t0) being the yearly sales number at year t0 (eg 26

2015) 27

Short time constants Tau of few years were used to model ESS sales Due to limitations of 28

the existing electricity grid to only buffer a certain share of fluctuating PV and wind generated 29

electricity the further expansion of renewable electricity generation might be strongly coupled 30

to ESS installations Hence ESS sales were modelled to closely follow the assumed 31

installations of renewable power in the limit of ldquovery fastrdquo market diffusion (120591 rarr 0) 32

2613 Modelling of battery system capacities 33

Battery capacities EBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws In 34

particular BEV battery capacities increased in the last years from 30 kWh in 2013 to more than 35

40 kWh in 2018 (EU sales and production averages) In the long term we expect BEV 36

capacities to converge towards a value sufficient to provide average driving ranges of some 37

100 km Battery capacity growth rates are hence supposed to slow down 38

119864119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198640 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 1

With E0 being the average battery capacity in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years and 2

b an exponent lt 1 The parameters were chosen to fit existing data 3

2614 Modelling of battery replacement rates 4

Battery replacement rates RrBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws 5

The replacement rate defines the share of batteries installed in year t that had to be replaced 6

within the lifetime of a system (xEV ESS) In particular for vehicles it is assumed that xEV 7

manufacturers currently install battery cells with a high lifetime and cyclability (several 8

thousand cycles) In the mid-term we expect that battery life and vehicle life (eg 200000 to 9

300000 km) will be matched by car manufacturers Assuming a constant vehicle lifetime 10

battery replacement rates are supposed to increase over time 11

119877119903119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198770 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 12

With R0 being the average replacement rate in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years 13

and b an exponent lt 1 At present there is no data available to fit the parameters Parameters 14

were estimated based on the usage profile and load of different applications 15

2615 Modelling of system lifetimes (xEV ESS) 16

System lifetimes Ltsystem(t) were assumed to be constant Ltsystem(t)= Ltsystem Parameters were 17

estimated based on manufacturer statements and typical lifetimes for combustion powered 18

vehicles 19

2616 Calculation of battery replacements 20

Battery replacements RpBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 21

calculated by assuming a uniform distribution of battery replacements over the lifetime 22

Ltsystem(i) of battery systems installed in year i 23

119877119901119861119886119905119905(119905) = sum119877119903119861119886119905119905(119894) times 119878119886119901119901(119894) times 119864119861119886119905119905(119894)

24

2617 Calculation of battery decommissions 25

Battery decommissions DcBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 26

assumed to happen coincident with the end of life of the systems (Ltsystem) they were installed 27

in in year i This neglects any second life usage in t gt i It was assumed that xEV or ESS 28

manufacturers will tune the battery lifetime to match the system lifetime (see 2614) 29

2618 Calculation of yearly installed battery capacity 31

The yearly installed battery capacity Sbapp(t) in the EU28 was calculated as 32

119878119887119886119901119901(119905) = 119878119886119901119901(119905) times 119864119886119901119901119861119886119905119905(119905) + 119877119901119886119901119901

Figure 19 Installed ESS capacity (stock) in large scale projects in EU28 A ratio of 11 with 2

respect to installed power and installed energy content (capacity) was assumed [14] 3

Table 6 lists larger scale (~MWh) stationary storage systems installed in the EU in 2017 [12] 4

80 of these installations are categorized as substation storage 6 relates to frequency 5

stabilization 5 to storage of wind-generated energy and 1 to storage of PV-generated 6

energy 7

Note that most of these installations are prototype or test facilities which does not allow to 8

use this application share as template for future market developments The total installed 9

capacity of 340 MWh in 2017 suggests that the market volume of large scale ESS is of the 10

same order of magnitude as that of home storage Note that the installed capacity for 2017 in 11

[14] is only 65 MWh It is however not stated in [12] whether the listed ESS projects are still in 12

2234 Forecast ESS sales and stock EU28 2

The data presented in sections 2231 2232 and 2233 was used as an input for a forecast 3

model on large scale and home ESS 4

EU wide sales numbers and growth rates for PV coupled home storage systems were 5

extrapolated with declining growth rates for 2035 and beyond With respect to large scale ESS 6

it was assumed that the generation of electricity by renewable sources exceeding 17 (2015 7

value [15]) of the total electricity generation necessitates a certain amount of ESS buffer 8

capacity EU 2020 and 2030 targets [16 17] for the share of renewable electricity generation 9

were used as a forecast model The buffer capacity demand was estimated to be 70 of the 10

daily electrical energy generated by renewables exceeding the share of 17 11

A lifetime of 20 years with a replacement rate of 10 was assumed for home ESS and a 12

lifetime of 20 years with a battery replacement rate of 80 within this lifetime was assumed 13

for large scale ESS System capacities were modelled by a power law based on present-day 14

values The assumptions for the market model are summarized in Table 7 and Table 8 and 15

shall be subject to discussion during the stakeholder meeting 16

224 Summary of the market sales forecast and estimation of the future 1

and past stock 2

As shown in sections 222 and 223 several drivers exist for the application of battery storage 3

systems in stationary and motive applications While the demand for battery capacity 4

generated by BEV and PHEV passenger cars was on the level of several GWh for 2017 the 5

ESS markets might still be below the 1 GWh mark in the EU 6

With respect to the increase of average battery capacity installed in different applications (see 7

Figure 22) and the growth rates for the sales of xEV and ESS (see sections 2223 and 8

2232) forecasts for the total new installations (including replacements) of batteries in the 9

EU28 are shown in Figure 23 See annex for further comments 10

11

Figure 22 Average system battery energy (kWh or MWh) forecast 12

23 Market trends 3

231 General objective of subtask 23 and approach 4

The following chapter provides a comprehensive market overview on global battery sales 5

demand and players Starting with the market development of Lithium-ion batteries between 6

2010 to 2017 scenarios until 2025 to 2030 are presented including a meta-analysis of several 7

most recent market reports (eg [18ndash27]) Step by step the regional markets and markets by 8

applications will be specified 9

232 Market drivers and CO2 legislation [28] 10

Climate and energy policies are main drivers for the energy future and are expected to lead to 11

an increasing demand for energy storage in the mid and long term (see Figure 24) According 12

to the European Unionacutes decarbonization objective a reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) 13

emissions to 80 ndash 95 below 1990 levels should be achieved by 2050 14

In particular for the transport sector no full decarbonization is achieved [29] even in the longer 15

term (other sectors have to compensate with higher GHG reductions) The overall reduction 16

achieved in the transport sector by 2050 is only around 60 below 1990 levels The 17

increasing trend in emissions seen over the past 20 years is expected to reverse by the CO2 18

legislation From 2020 on the fleet average to be achieved by all new cars is 95 grams of CO2 19

per kilometer (compared to 130 gkm in 2015) 20

Many other governments world-wide have specified CO2 emission targets and are striving 21

towards a low carbon economy Particularly in the field of passenger and commercial vehicles 22

fuel consumption and emission targets have been installed which significantly drive the 23

introduction of battery or fuel cell powered electric vehicles Among these emission policies 24

the targets set by the EU are among the most ambitious (see Table 11) Meeting them will 25

require a significant share of electric vehicles 26

Table 11 Overview about fuel consumption and CO2-emission targets for passenger vehicles 1

of the EU and other countries leading battery and electric mobility markets [30] 2

In this context electric mobility is gaining importance since electric vehicles especially plug-3

in hybrid and pure battery electric vehicles can help to achieve or fulfill these limits due to 4

improved CO2 footprints compared to conventional cars However for low CO2 footprints over 5

the lifetime of electric cars a high share of ldquolow carbonrdquo renewable energy sources (RES) in 6

the energy mix is needed and important (Figure 24 left side) 7

8

Figure 24 Climate and energy policies as drivers for future energy storage demand [28] 9

The EU Energy Roadmap 2050 [31 32] has shown across six scenarios that the 10

decarbonization goal can be achieved if the share of renewable energy sources (RES) among 11

the power generation capacity is high (gt 60 until 2050) for all scenarios Especially for the 12

high RES scenario the share of fluctuating energy generation (wind photovoltaic ndash PV) is the 13

strongest which has to be balanced Grid expansion andor flexibilization measures (eg 14

demand side management power to gas and vehicle to grid besides stationary battery 15

storage) are potential solutions Thus the high RES scenario is the most interesting scenario 16

with respect to a potential future demand for energy storage solutions (ESS) on local 17

distribution and transmission grid levels (Figure 24 right side) In order to have a significant 18

GHG reduction with EVs it will also be important to achieve the RES targets 19

233 The developing battery market 1

The total annual battery market is currently on the level of 45-60 billion Euro representing 2

approximately 400-500 GWh (including Lead-acid Lithium-Ion and other batteries) [33] 3

Lithium-ion batteries (LIB) have succeeded because of their high gravimetric and volumetric 4

energy densities and have a market share of about a third in terms of value among the whole 5

battery market The growth is driven by the decreasing cell costs of less than 170 eurokWh for a 6

standard cylindrical cell (lowest prices) approaching the 90 eurokWh mark in the next years This 7

cost degression is due to increasing capacity demand and production and thus due to scale 8

effects 9

Although the LIB market is drastically growing with annual growth rates of up to 30 percent 10

on average (in terms of battery capacity demand) the dominating battery technology in terms 11

of capacity however are still lead-acid batteries representing about 90 percent of the global 12

demand in volume around 2010 and 80 percent in 2017 13

14

15

Figure 25 Historical development of the global battery demand in GWh (left axis for NiCd 16

NiMH right axis for all other battery types grey total battery demand) [34] 17

Other mature battery technologies like NiCd (still partly used in power tools) and NiMH (still 18

used in hybrid electric vehicles HEV) are slowly declining and are expected to disappear from 19

the market in the next decade The diversification of future battery applications however will 20

also broaden the range of battery technologies Emerging technologies like Na-based Metal-21

Sulfur or Redox Flow batteries are developing and may lead to attractive solutions eg with 22

respect to cost and resource availability advantages However due to very strict requirements 23

on volumetric energy densities these technologies are expected to be relevant for stationary 24

or other special markets and less for the most significant electric vehicle market In general 25

each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses and none of them can satisfy all user 26

demands Hence a broader application-specific technology portfolio is urgently needed in 27

order to provide alternative technology solutions in the future 28

The extremely dynamic development of the global LIB demand will lead to the TWh level latest 29

around 2030 and grow further after 2030 Thus LIB will very soon transform into the 30

dominating energy storage technology 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

34

Figure 26 shows three different scenarios for the global demand for LIB between 2010 and 1

2030 (green curves) along with global production capacities (orange and blue curve)[33] 2

While at the beginning of the decade the demand and sales numbers followed the medium 3

growth rate trend scenario the market has been approaching the high growth rate scenario in 4

the last years This is mainly due to the strong engagement of politics and respective 5

regulation and subsidy programs for electric mobility As can be seen from the graph the 6

share of demand generated by motive applications is expected to significantly grow in the next 7

years and might account for more than one third of the total LIB demand by 2025 8

To face this increasing demand for LIB cells accordingly production capacities need to be 9

build up in the near future Based on the currently existing cell production capacities and the 10

global announcements from established and new cell producers until 2025 the LIB cell 11

production capacities (blue line in 12

Figure 26) have been identified Compared to 15 GWh added production capacity between 13

2013 and 2016 in the next years around 50 GWh will be added annually leading to around 14

700 GWh production capacities until 2025 (in the optimistic case see blue line in 15

Figure 26) The announcements include established players such as Panasonic (JP) LG 16

Chem (KR) Samsung (KR) SKI (KR) BYD (CN) Lishen (CN) CATL (CN) CALB (CN) 17

OPTIMUM (CN) and several further Chinese cell producers Also new players such as TerraE 18

(DE) Northvolt (SW) Boston Energy (US AU) Energy Absolute (Thailand) are included 19

while accounting for the different stages of expansion [20 27] 20

21

234 Battery markets by application 23

Diversification of applications for batteries 24

The above described global developments of battery demand and production strongly concern 25

high-energy lithium-ion batteries with the cell chemistries NMC NCA (Ni-rich and Co-reduced 26

cathodes) and SiC (high capacity SiC anodes with 5-10 or higher Si content) and cell 27

formats cylindrical (eg larger 21700 compared to standard 18650) large pouch or prismatic 28

cells The target is to develop and produce cells with improved gravimetric and volumetric 29

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

35

energy densities and reduced costs in order to meet the requirements of the automotive 1

industry Electric passenger cars are driving the demand and thus development of the battery 2

technology and these optimized and cost reduced batteries define the benchmark today and 3

in the future 4

LIB demand by applications 5

In Figure 27 the global LIB demand is broken down to the three main sectors for battery 6

demand which can be characterised each having different profiles of requirement 7

bull electric mobility or electric vehicles (EV including eg passenger cars light 8

commercial vehicles buses trucks scooters ebikes etc) 9

bull stationary energy storage systems (ESS) and 10

bull portable devices (3C ndash Computer Communication Consumer) 11

The LIB cell demand developed to almost 25 GWh in 2010 since the market introduction in 12

the early 1990s and dominantly resulted from portable devices In 2015 the cell demand of 13

about 70 GWh was distributed already almost 5050 between 3C and EV applications 14

15

Figure 27 Global LIB demand (in GWh and share in ) by segment [34] 16

Since 2015 the global LIB demand has increased with compound annual growth rates 17

(CAGR) of ~25 from about 70 GWh to about 110 GWh in 2017 The market for electric 18

vehicles currently grows with 30-40 (and more depending on the application and region) and 19

a diversification in applications (eg buses trucks other light to heavy commercial vehicles 20

marine applications drones etc) can be observed 21

With the diversification of future markets and applications cost sensitive markets will arise for 22

which optimized high-energy and cost reduced automotive cells of certain cell formats will be 23

used However also applications with stronger requirements on long lifetime high cycleability 24

fast charging capability safety etc will emerge and diffuse where cost is not the most 25

relevant factor and other battery technologies (ie cell chemistries formats) can provide a 26

unique selling proposition and hence lead to a product differentiation 27

2341 LIB markets for 3C applications 28

Portable devices (3C) have been the main applications for LIB cells in the past Power tools 29

medical devices and wearables are expected to be products with an emerging future market 30

for small LIB cells but with enormous quantities The price per kWh that can be stored plays a 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

36

less important role for these applications As far as charging is concerned technologies such 1

as energy harvesting and wireless charging are expected to be introduced in the future For 2

many markets and products such as household devices garden cleaning power tools other 3

mobile leisure applications etc today mostly cylindrical LIB cells of the format 18650 are used 4

With the introduction of 21700 cells also larger cylindrical cells become available now and are 5

expected to be used in diffuse in such applications Although different specific cell chemistries 6

might be suitable depending on the concrete application again it can be stated that the 3C 7

segment is expected to lead to a comparably small battery capacity demand compared to the 8

EV segment and will not be the limiting segment with respect to the risk of resource 9

dependencies 10

In the next few years growth rates of about 5 to 10 percent are expected for the 3C markets 11

while laptop battery demand is developing at lower growth rates and power tools medical 12

devices etc are supporting the growth rates for the battery demand 13

14

15

Figure 28 Demand and growth of the 3C LIB market [34] 16

2342 LIB markets for stationary (ESS) applications 17

Stationary energy storage systems (ESS) can be divided into different size classes with regard 18

to the capacity and charging times Both together decide on the application area (eg small 19

PV storage at home peak load to long-term storage) [35] Beyond that the price per kWh put 20

through over the lifetime is the economic key factor (as synthesized by the LCOE levelized 21

cost of energy) In contrast gravimetric and volumetric energy density plays a subordinate 22

role Due to that lead-acid batteries were often used as storage technology for off- and on-23

grid storage Currently LIBs are being established for commercial use and meanwhile reach 24

an annual demand of some few GWh Other electrochemical storage technologies such as 25

sodium-sulfur batteries are still used but the demand for LIB is strongly increasing for ESS It 26

is expected that 2nd life concepts for batteries that had their first life in electric vehicles will 27

gain importance together with market diffusion in the EV segment as the requirements on the 28

batteries are less demanding in the ESS segment This however will require the development 29

of according business models standardization etc The much broader available technology 30

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

37

portfolio for ESS applications the use of 2nd life batteries and the fact that electric vehicle 1

batteries that are connected to the grid on a large scale with higher market diffusion can be 2

regarded as stationary storage systems as well (vehicle to grid V2G grid to vehicle G2V) help 3

to reduce the risk of technological and resource dependencies in the future 4

The market for stationary storage applications (ESS) is experiencing growth rates of 20 to 30 5

percent depending on individual market forecasts (in the last years CAGR have even been on 6

the level of 60 but decrease with increasing size of the market see Figure 29) 7

The market is currently on a level of few GWh including applications from smaller PV storage 8

systems of 5-10 kWh to larger industrial and grid connected installations for own power 9

consumption peak shaving etc on the MWh level Regarding these growth rates LIB for ESS 10

applications rapidly gain importance as de-central storage solutions compared to the currently 11

dominating central pumped hydro storage (PHS) Forecasts to 2025 differ by size and expect 12

an ESS LIB demand between 20-50 GWh (partially higher eg in [23]) but all forecasts identify 13

high growth rates 14

15

Figure 29 Demand and growth of the ESS LIB market [34] 16

17

2343 LIB markets for electric vehicle applications 18

One of the biggest challenges for batteries for electric vehicles (EV including electric cars 19

buses trucks etc) apart from their price is the increase of their volumetric and gravimetric 20

energy density The volumetric energy density is even more important for OEM due to 21

restricted and fixed space and location of the battery in an electric vehicle A very relevant 22

parameter of a battery is its charging and discharging power in particular in continuous 23

operation It determines the fast-charging capability which is an important argument in the 24

use and the establishment on the market At the same time this sets limits to the high-25

performance operation since energy consumption is reduced to protect the battery from 26

damage This illustrates the conflicting effect of different parameters on the battery lifetime 27

Price volume weight and thus charge density as well as chargedischarge rate in terms of 28

usage and durability are the most urgent challenges for battery manufacturers 29

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

38

The market for EV batteries is currently at the level of about 50 GWh (including electric 1

passenger cars busses trucks ebikes scooter forklifts etc) Growth rates are at 20 to 40 2

percent and the demand for EV batteries will lead to a share of about 66 percent in 2020 76 3

percent until 2025 and 80 percent or higher in the long term Electric passenger cars (BEV 4

and PHEV) define the by far largest market within the EV segment and are clearly driving the 5

technology development of high energy Lithium-Ion or Lithium-based batteries in the future 6

7

Figure 30 Demand and growth of the EV LIB market [34] 8

9

Other motive (or stationary or portable) markets applications besides the highly competitive 10

electric passenger cars therefore can offer interesting growth markets also for smaller cell 11

producers beyond the large Japanese Korean and Chinese cell producers These markets or 12

applications very often define concrete requirements for the battery performance they require 13

an in depth understanding and design from the cell chemistry format to the modulepack and 14

system integration and they still vary strongly by region and are connected to individual system 15

integrators or OEM This is because each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses 16

and none of them can satisfy all userapplication demands Hence a broader application 17

specific technology portfolio is even urgently needed in order to provide alternative individual 18

technology solutions for these emerging marketsapplications 19

20

235 Market channels and production structure 21

2351 Global production capacities and major players 22

Since their commercialization in the 1990s LIB have been predominantly produced by 23

Japanese and Korean companies Driven by the Chinese government particularly cell 24

producers but also companies covering other steps of the LIB value creation chain have been 25

established in China Due to a policy of simultaneous support for LIB production as well as for 26

application markets and due to an extensive subsidy scheme a large share of LIB production 27

capacities is located in China today 28

Figure 31 Figure 32 Figure 33 and Figure 34 show the global LIB production capacities of 29

major cell producers in 2018 as well as forecasts for 2020 2025 and 2030 respectively [36] 30

The data is based on announcements made by the cell producers As discussed in section 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

39

233 the actual time-frame for the implementation of the capacity expansions is often delayed 1

with respect to the original announcements Hence minimum and maximum values for the 2

production capacities are given 3

Figure 34 Global LIB production capacities of major cell producers in 2030 [36] 2

Until 2030 the announced production capacities add up to more than 1 TWh In total there 3

are about 30 cell producers which have announced to build up production capacities of more 4

than 10 GWhyear which can be considered to be a threshold in order to be able to produce 5

at competitve costs [36] If the announced capacities are fully utilized the ldquobig 4rdquo (Panasonic 6

CATL LGC and BYD) will be able to fully cover the market demand (gt550 GWh) until 2025 7

2352 Europes position in the global battery value chain 8

In the EU several actors are positioned which cover production steps along the whole value 9

chain of LIBs starting from raw material production to production of cells and systems and 10

finally recycling However with respect to global markets only few organizations within the EU 11

have a market share of more than 1 in their specific segment eg BASF Germany in the 12

field of electrolyte production [30] 13

An overview about existing and active companies is given by the European Battery Alliance 14

(see Figure 35) Due to the presence of strong automotive OEM LIB pack manufacturing and 15

system integration is taking place on large scale in Europe A particular gap in the value chain 16

is present due to the lack of a large-scale cell production capable of serving the volumes and 17

prices required by the automotive industry 18

Several consortia are currently attempting to build up a European large scale cell 4

manufacturing such as Nothvolt (Sweden) with 32 GWh until 2023 or Saft (together with 5

Siemens and Manz) [39] Recently the German government announced plans for funding of 6

a Batterie-Cell-Alliance between Germany and Poland with cell production capacities in the 7

Regions Lausitz (Germany) and Westpoland [40 41] At the cross section between RampD and 8

large-scale production also a Research Production with 600 Mio EUR funding is foreseen 9

whereas the Fraunhofer Society should coordinate and run such a research production [42] 10

The announced funding from the German government sums up to 2 bn EUR 11

Given all these announced investments and production capacities to build up in the next years 12

the cell production capacities of European cell manufacturers could sum up to over 40 GWh 13

beyond 2025 In contrast main Asian cell manufacturer have already started with cell 14

production (eg LG SDI) or plan to build up production capacities until 2020 to 2025 In 15

concrete there are plans from [43ndash51] 16

17

bull CATL (China) to build 14 GWh in Germany Erfurt beyond 2020 18

bull LG Chem (Japan) to build 15 to 24 GWh (for 03 Mio EVs) in Poland beyond 2020 19

bull Samsung SDI (Japan) to build 10 to 15 GWh beyond 2020 in Hungary (including a 20

recent 5 GWh announcement for 21700 cells for Land Rover 21

bull SK Innovation (Japan) to build 75 GWh in Hungary beyond 2020 22

bull PanasonicTesla to build a (assumed 35GWh) Gigafactory in Europa around 2025 23

bull as well as from BYD (China) GS Yuasa (Japan) and Farasis (US) to build production 24

capacities between 2020 and 2025 25

26

The production capacities from Asian (or non-European) cell manufacturer might sum up to 27

well above 82-96 GWh by 2025 and including BYD GS Yuasa Farasis etc capacities far 28

above 100 GWh can be expected Together with the new EU cell producers this could easily 29

sum up towards the above mentioned 200 GWh demand in Europe But it also clearly indicates 30

44

the competition the emerging European players have to face (besides the fact that the plans 1

of the Asian companies are expected to be realized already several years earlier as those of 2

the novel EU companies) 3

2353 Product design trends and technological roadmap 4

Concerning the battery technology or type (by chemistry format etc) which will most likely 5

be produced to address this increasing demand the global roadmaps of cell producers are 6

basically similar Based on state-of-the art cell design (eg LFP NCA based ldquogeneration 1rdquo 7

and NMC111 to NMC532 ldquogeneration 2abrdquo Li-ion batteries) [52] and state-of-the-art 8

production equipment incremental improvements are expected in the next few years but with 9

the target to get to higher-energy lithium-ion batteries Concerning the electrolytes still liquid 10

electrolytes will be used but adopted to the changing electrode materials (eg with additives) 11

Current trends for layered oxide cathodes describe the development of Ni-rich (Co reduced) 12

materials (NMC) A few cell producers are already using NMC811 or comparable cathode 13

materials others are still adopting NMC622 (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3ardquo) On cathode 14

side maybe even lower-cost Mn-rich High Energy NMCs (HE-NMC) might be realized and 15

produced within ~10 years as Mn is cheaper than Ni (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3brdquo) On 16

anode side the trend is to incorporate Si-nano particles to make use of the alloying reaction 17

between Si and Li yielding a high capacitance This however comes at the cost of cycle life 18

Further down the road we might see higher Si contents (~20) 19

20

All-solid-state batteries are on the roadmap of many battery producers but also OEM (also 21

referred to as ldquogeneration 4rdquo) The key performance parameters (KPI) are suitable for electric 22

mobility (EV) Main challenges are indeed manufacturability particularly for ceramic solid state 23

electrolytes which promise to yield the highest advantages over state of the art technologies 24

The market introduction in niche applications is expected possible prior to the use in 25

automotive applications First all-solid-state batteries might not be competitive in terms of 26

energy density but safety properties Later on energy densities of 350-400 Whkg and higher 27

are expected 28

Other technologies (not marked in blue in the above figure) feature certain USPs compared to 4

Li-ion batteries but (according to the current level of knowledge) do not reach the necessary 5

KPIs in terms of energy density power density and cycling stability necessary for electric 6

mobility (these are marked in grey) USPs of these technologies can be cost resource 7

availability either volumetric or gravimetric energy density or others But often even 8

fundamental challenges are not solved yet (eg concerning the stability of materials and 9

electrochemical systems kinetics etc) 10

24 Consumer expenditure base data 2

241 General objective of subtask 24 and approach 3

Subtask 24 gives an overview about average production costs and consumer prices incl 4

VAT (for consumer prices streetprice) excl VAT (for B2B products) as well as an estimation 5

of repair and maintenance as well as installation and disposal costs 6

Due to their recent larger scale market introduction there is still little experience with 7

maintenance as well as disposal expenses Hence only estimations can be made based on 8

isolated sources 9

242 Development of LIB cell costs 10

As the core of LIB based energy storage systems the battery cell exhibits the highest cost 11

share During the last years particularly standardized 18650 format LIB cells have 12

experienced a steep cost learning curve benefiting from production scale effects but also 13

from technological advancements on material level increasing the energy density per volume 14

and weight and decreasing the amount of cost intense Cobalt-based components Compared 15

to this benchmark larger format LIB cells (Pouch prismatic) as are utilized in xEVs and ESS 16

predominantly feature lower energy densities at higher cost per kWh There are however no 17

principal limitations which would prevent a performance and cost development similar to what 18

was observed for cylindrical cells Figure 39 shows the cost learning curves for cylindrical as 19

well as larger format LIB cells [33] Today average costs for cells suitable for automotive use 20

are below 150 eurokWh (cylindrical) and around 200 eurokWh (Pouchprismatic) In specific cases 21

prices around 100 eurokWh have been reported already [53] It should however be noted that 22

with the current market situation LIB prices being below costs are not unlikely to occur 23

Until 2025 production costs of the different cell formats are expected to approach and fall 24

below the mark of 100 eurokWh between 2020 and 2025 Taking further developments on 25

material level into account costs around 60-100 eurokWh seam feasible past 2025 26

Figure 39 Cost learning curves for large LIB cells (cylindrical and Pouchprismatic) [33] 3

Similar cost learning curves have been observed for other battery technologies (see Figure 4

40) In principal cost degression can be limited by demand (compare NiCd) or by reaching 5

material cost limits (compare Pb) Also the diffusion of battery technologies in new markets 6

or applications can lead to further technological improvements and justify higher production 7

costs (compare deviation of NiMH Pb) Following the available data for LIB cells approx 100 8

$kWh (~89 eurokWh) are reached at a cumulative yearly production of 1TWh This mark is 9

expected to be reached between 2020 and 2030 10

Beyond 2030 LIB production costs are however expected to start deviating from this curve 11

due to limiting raw material prices 12

2432 ESS 7

According to recent end-customer price data provided in [55] for 2018 typical consumer prices 8

for small scale (~10 kWh) stationary home storage systems are between 5000 and 15000 9

Euros leading to a relative price of 800 to 1200 eurokWh It is expected that these system prices 10

will benefit from the growing battery markets (also xEV) since similar LIB cell types can be 11

applied in both application areas With respect to inverters and other system related costs the 12

smaller market volume of home ESS indicates lower economy of scale effects as compared 13

to cells 14

244 Installation repair and maintenance costs 15

2441 xEV 16

So far no comprehensive information on repair and maintenance costs for the battery system 17

of xEVs are available Due to still rather accommodating service policies repair or 18

replacement of batteries is so far often covered by the manufacturer 19

Will be added in a later review 5

2451 Second life and recycling considerations 6

Until today only pilot projects Strategy of automotive OEM regarding second life applications 7

is not known 8

Value of recycled materials can be estimated 9

Three main scenarios possible after end of 1st life (xEV) 10

1 Disposal of batteries (eg separation of liquid and solid components hazardous waste 11

disposal) 12

2 Recycling of batteries and direct regeneration and re-use of cathode materials (2a) or 13

recovery of metals (2b) 14

3 2nd life in ESS applications under limited load (low DOD cycling low power) 15

16

Scenario 1 will add another component to battery costs scenario 2 and 3 could significantly 17

decrease the cost of batteries if energy efficient recycling methods can be developed or viable 18

2nd life business models are established 19

26 Annex 1

2611 Modelling of addressable markets for electric applications 2

Vehicle markets (in units of registrations in the EU28 per year) and ESS markets (in units of 3

number of installed home PV systems or in units of overall renewable (PV wind) electricity 4

generation in the EU28 per year) were modelled by exponential functions 5

119872119905119886119901119901(119905) = 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 6

With Mtapp(t) being the total market volume of an application M0 the market size in 2015 and 7

120591 times 119871119899(2) the time t necessary to double the initial market volume M0 M0 and Tau were chosen 8

to fit existing market data 9

119872119886119901119901(119905) = 119888 times 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 10

With Mapp(t) being the addressable market and c a factor equal or smaller than 1 Parameter 11

c lt 1 was chosen to take into account that not the whole existing market Mtapp might be 12

addressable by electric technologies Eg a share of vehicles primarily used for long distance 13

travel might not be addressable by BEV but by PHEV only 14

The market addressable for passenger PHEV (as a transition technology on the path to full 15

electric vehicles) was modelled as the difference of total vehicle sales and BEV sales 16

119872119875119867119864119881(119905) = 119888 times 119872119905119901119886119904119904119890119899119892119890119903(119905) minus 119878119861119864119881(119905) 17

The market addressable for passenger BEV was modelled like Mapp(t) with c lt 1 18

2612 Modelling of sales numbers of xEV and ESS 19

Yearly sales numbers Sapp(t) for the different applications were modelled by logistic growth 20

functions Logistic functions can model diffusion of technologies into existing markets with a 21

given market volume M The market volume can be a moving target M = M(t) The relative 22

change of sales numbers Srsquoapp(t)Sapp(t) is proportional to the market volume not yet 23

developed by a technology Mapp(t) ndash Sapp(t) 24

119878119886119901119901(119905) = 119872119886119901119901(119905) times1

1 + 119864119909119901(minus119872119886119901119901(119905) times (119905 minus 1199050)120591)(119872119886119901119901(119905)

119878119886119901119901(1199050)minus 1)

25

With Tau being a time constant and Sapp(t0) being the yearly sales number at year t0 (eg 26

2015) 27

Short time constants Tau of few years were used to model ESS sales Due to limitations of 28

the existing electricity grid to only buffer a certain share of fluctuating PV and wind generated 29

electricity the further expansion of renewable electricity generation might be strongly coupled 30

to ESS installations Hence ESS sales were modelled to closely follow the assumed 31

installations of renewable power in the limit of ldquovery fastrdquo market diffusion (120591 rarr 0) 32

2613 Modelling of battery system capacities 33

Battery capacities EBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws In 34

particular BEV battery capacities increased in the last years from 30 kWh in 2013 to more than 35

40 kWh in 2018 (EU sales and production averages) In the long term we expect BEV 36

capacities to converge towards a value sufficient to provide average driving ranges of some 37

100 km Battery capacity growth rates are hence supposed to slow down 38

119864119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198640 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 1

With E0 being the average battery capacity in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years and 2

b an exponent lt 1 The parameters were chosen to fit existing data 3

2614 Modelling of battery replacement rates 4

Battery replacement rates RrBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws 5

The replacement rate defines the share of batteries installed in year t that had to be replaced 6

within the lifetime of a system (xEV ESS) In particular for vehicles it is assumed that xEV 7

manufacturers currently install battery cells with a high lifetime and cyclability (several 8

thousand cycles) In the mid-term we expect that battery life and vehicle life (eg 200000 to 9

300000 km) will be matched by car manufacturers Assuming a constant vehicle lifetime 10

battery replacement rates are supposed to increase over time 11

119877119903119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198770 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 12

With R0 being the average replacement rate in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years 13

and b an exponent lt 1 At present there is no data available to fit the parameters Parameters 14

were estimated based on the usage profile and load of different applications 15

2615 Modelling of system lifetimes (xEV ESS) 16

System lifetimes Ltsystem(t) were assumed to be constant Ltsystem(t)= Ltsystem Parameters were 17

estimated based on manufacturer statements and typical lifetimes for combustion powered 18

vehicles 19

2616 Calculation of battery replacements 20

Battery replacements RpBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 21

calculated by assuming a uniform distribution of battery replacements over the lifetime 22

Ltsystem(i) of battery systems installed in year i 23

119877119901119861119886119905119905(119905) = sum119877119903119861119886119905119905(119894) times 119878119886119901119901(119894) times 119864119861119886119905119905(119894)

24

2617 Calculation of battery decommissions 25

Battery decommissions DcBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 26

assumed to happen coincident with the end of life of the systems (Ltsystem) they were installed 27

in in year i This neglects any second life usage in t gt i It was assumed that xEV or ESS 28

manufacturers will tune the battery lifetime to match the system lifetime (see 2614) 29

2618 Calculation of yearly installed battery capacity 31

The yearly installed battery capacity Sbapp(t) in the EU28 was calculated as 32

119878119887119886119901119901(119905) = 119878119886119901119901(119905) times 119864119886119901119901119861119886119905119905(119905) + 119877119901119886119901119901

2234 Forecast ESS sales and stock EU28 2

The data presented in sections 2231 2232 and 2233 was used as an input for a forecast 3

model on large scale and home ESS 4

EU wide sales numbers and growth rates for PV coupled home storage systems were 5

extrapolated with declining growth rates for 2035 and beyond With respect to large scale ESS 6

it was assumed that the generation of electricity by renewable sources exceeding 17 (2015 7

value [15]) of the total electricity generation necessitates a certain amount of ESS buffer 8

capacity EU 2020 and 2030 targets [16 17] for the share of renewable electricity generation 9

were used as a forecast model The buffer capacity demand was estimated to be 70 of the 10

daily electrical energy generated by renewables exceeding the share of 17 11

A lifetime of 20 years with a replacement rate of 10 was assumed for home ESS and a 12

lifetime of 20 years with a battery replacement rate of 80 within this lifetime was assumed 13

for large scale ESS System capacities were modelled by a power law based on present-day 14

values The assumptions for the market model are summarized in Table 7 and Table 8 and 15

shall be subject to discussion during the stakeholder meeting 16

224 Summary of the market sales forecast and estimation of the future 1

and past stock 2

As shown in sections 222 and 223 several drivers exist for the application of battery storage 3

systems in stationary and motive applications While the demand for battery capacity 4

generated by BEV and PHEV passenger cars was on the level of several GWh for 2017 the 5

ESS markets might still be below the 1 GWh mark in the EU 6

With respect to the increase of average battery capacity installed in different applications (see 7

Figure 22) and the growth rates for the sales of xEV and ESS (see sections 2223 and 8

2232) forecasts for the total new installations (including replacements) of batteries in the 9

EU28 are shown in Figure 23 See annex for further comments 10

11

Figure 22 Average system battery energy (kWh or MWh) forecast 12

It can be expected that the demand generated by sales and replacements in the EU28 will 13

amount to about 20 GWh by 2020 100 GWh by 2025 and more than 400 GWh by 2030 14

23 Market trends 3

231 General objective of subtask 23 and approach 4

The following chapter provides a comprehensive market overview on global battery sales 5

demand and players Starting with the market development of Lithium-ion batteries between 6

2010 to 2017 scenarios until 2025 to 2030 are presented including a meta-analysis of several 7

most recent market reports (eg [18ndash27]) Step by step the regional markets and markets by 8

applications will be specified 9

232 Market drivers and CO2 legislation [28] 10

Climate and energy policies are main drivers for the energy future and are expected to lead to 11

an increasing demand for energy storage in the mid and long term (see Figure 24) According 12

to the European Unionacutes decarbonization objective a reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) 13

emissions to 80 ndash 95 below 1990 levels should be achieved by 2050 14

In particular for the transport sector no full decarbonization is achieved [29] even in the longer 15

term (other sectors have to compensate with higher GHG reductions) The overall reduction 16

achieved in the transport sector by 2050 is only around 60 below 1990 levels The 17

increasing trend in emissions seen over the past 20 years is expected to reverse by the CO2 18

legislation From 2020 on the fleet average to be achieved by all new cars is 95 grams of CO2 19

per kilometer (compared to 130 gkm in 2015) 20

Many other governments world-wide have specified CO2 emission targets and are striving 21

towards a low carbon economy Particularly in the field of passenger and commercial vehicles 22

fuel consumption and emission targets have been installed which significantly drive the 23

introduction of battery or fuel cell powered electric vehicles Among these emission policies 24

the targets set by the EU are among the most ambitious (see Table 11) Meeting them will 25

require a significant share of electric vehicles 26

Table 11 Overview about fuel consumption and CO2-emission targets for passenger vehicles 1

of the EU and other countries leading battery and electric mobility markets [30] 2

In this context electric mobility is gaining importance since electric vehicles especially plug-3

in hybrid and pure battery electric vehicles can help to achieve or fulfill these limits due to 4

improved CO2 footprints compared to conventional cars However for low CO2 footprints over 5

the lifetime of electric cars a high share of ldquolow carbonrdquo renewable energy sources (RES) in 6

the energy mix is needed and important (Figure 24 left side) 7

8

Figure 24 Climate and energy policies as drivers for future energy storage demand [28] 9

The EU Energy Roadmap 2050 [31 32] has shown across six scenarios that the 10

decarbonization goal can be achieved if the share of renewable energy sources (RES) among 11

the power generation capacity is high (gt 60 until 2050) for all scenarios Especially for the 12

high RES scenario the share of fluctuating energy generation (wind photovoltaic ndash PV) is the 13

strongest which has to be balanced Grid expansion andor flexibilization measures (eg 14

demand side management power to gas and vehicle to grid besides stationary battery 15

storage) are potential solutions Thus the high RES scenario is the most interesting scenario 16

with respect to a potential future demand for energy storage solutions (ESS) on local 17

distribution and transmission grid levels (Figure 24 right side) In order to have a significant 18

GHG reduction with EVs it will also be important to achieve the RES targets 19

233 The developing battery market 1

The total annual battery market is currently on the level of 45-60 billion Euro representing 2

approximately 400-500 GWh (including Lead-acid Lithium-Ion and other batteries) [33] 3

Lithium-ion batteries (LIB) have succeeded because of their high gravimetric and volumetric 4

energy densities and have a market share of about a third in terms of value among the whole 5

battery market The growth is driven by the decreasing cell costs of less than 170 eurokWh for a 6

standard cylindrical cell (lowest prices) approaching the 90 eurokWh mark in the next years This 7

cost degression is due to increasing capacity demand and production and thus due to scale 8

effects 9

Although the LIB market is drastically growing with annual growth rates of up to 30 percent 10

on average (in terms of battery capacity demand) the dominating battery technology in terms 11

of capacity however are still lead-acid batteries representing about 90 percent of the global 12

demand in volume around 2010 and 80 percent in 2017 13

14

15

Figure 25 Historical development of the global battery demand in GWh (left axis for NiCd 16

NiMH right axis for all other battery types grey total battery demand) [34] 17

Other mature battery technologies like NiCd (still partly used in power tools) and NiMH (still 18

used in hybrid electric vehicles HEV) are slowly declining and are expected to disappear from 19

the market in the next decade The diversification of future battery applications however will 20

also broaden the range of battery technologies Emerging technologies like Na-based Metal-21

Sulfur or Redox Flow batteries are developing and may lead to attractive solutions eg with 22

respect to cost and resource availability advantages However due to very strict requirements 23

on volumetric energy densities these technologies are expected to be relevant for stationary 24

or other special markets and less for the most significant electric vehicle market In general 25

each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses and none of them can satisfy all user 26

demands Hence a broader application-specific technology portfolio is urgently needed in 27

order to provide alternative technology solutions in the future 28

The extremely dynamic development of the global LIB demand will lead to the TWh level latest 29

around 2030 and grow further after 2030 Thus LIB will very soon transform into the 30

dominating energy storage technology 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

34

Figure 26 shows three different scenarios for the global demand for LIB between 2010 and 1

2030 (green curves) along with global production capacities (orange and blue curve)[33] 2

While at the beginning of the decade the demand and sales numbers followed the medium 3

growth rate trend scenario the market has been approaching the high growth rate scenario in 4

the last years This is mainly due to the strong engagement of politics and respective 5

regulation and subsidy programs for electric mobility As can be seen from the graph the 6

share of demand generated by motive applications is expected to significantly grow in the next 7

years and might account for more than one third of the total LIB demand by 2025 8

To face this increasing demand for LIB cells accordingly production capacities need to be 9

build up in the near future Based on the currently existing cell production capacities and the 10

global announcements from established and new cell producers until 2025 the LIB cell 11

production capacities (blue line in 12

Figure 26) have been identified Compared to 15 GWh added production capacity between 13

2013 and 2016 in the next years around 50 GWh will be added annually leading to around 14

700 GWh production capacities until 2025 (in the optimistic case see blue line in 15

Figure 26) The announcements include established players such as Panasonic (JP) LG 16

Chem (KR) Samsung (KR) SKI (KR) BYD (CN) Lishen (CN) CATL (CN) CALB (CN) 17

OPTIMUM (CN) and several further Chinese cell producers Also new players such as TerraE 18

(DE) Northvolt (SW) Boston Energy (US AU) Energy Absolute (Thailand) are included 19

while accounting for the different stages of expansion [20 27] 20

21

234 Battery markets by application 23

Diversification of applications for batteries 24

The above described global developments of battery demand and production strongly concern 25

high-energy lithium-ion batteries with the cell chemistries NMC NCA (Ni-rich and Co-reduced 26

cathodes) and SiC (high capacity SiC anodes with 5-10 or higher Si content) and cell 27

formats cylindrical (eg larger 21700 compared to standard 18650) large pouch or prismatic 28

cells The target is to develop and produce cells with improved gravimetric and volumetric 29

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

35

energy densities and reduced costs in order to meet the requirements of the automotive 1

industry Electric passenger cars are driving the demand and thus development of the battery 2

technology and these optimized and cost reduced batteries define the benchmark today and 3

in the future 4

LIB demand by applications 5

In Figure 27 the global LIB demand is broken down to the three main sectors for battery 6

demand which can be characterised each having different profiles of requirement 7

bull electric mobility or electric vehicles (EV including eg passenger cars light 8

commercial vehicles buses trucks scooters ebikes etc) 9

bull stationary energy storage systems (ESS) and 10

bull portable devices (3C ndash Computer Communication Consumer) 11

The LIB cell demand developed to almost 25 GWh in 2010 since the market introduction in 12

the early 1990s and dominantly resulted from portable devices In 2015 the cell demand of 13

about 70 GWh was distributed already almost 5050 between 3C and EV applications 14

15

Figure 27 Global LIB demand (in GWh and share in ) by segment [34] 16

Since 2015 the global LIB demand has increased with compound annual growth rates 17

(CAGR) of ~25 from about 70 GWh to about 110 GWh in 2017 The market for electric 18

vehicles currently grows with 30-40 (and more depending on the application and region) and 19

a diversification in applications (eg buses trucks other light to heavy commercial vehicles 20

marine applications drones etc) can be observed 21

With the diversification of future markets and applications cost sensitive markets will arise for 22

which optimized high-energy and cost reduced automotive cells of certain cell formats will be 23

used However also applications with stronger requirements on long lifetime high cycleability 24

fast charging capability safety etc will emerge and diffuse where cost is not the most 25

relevant factor and other battery technologies (ie cell chemistries formats) can provide a 26

unique selling proposition and hence lead to a product differentiation 27

2341 LIB markets for 3C applications 28

Portable devices (3C) have been the main applications for LIB cells in the past Power tools 29

medical devices and wearables are expected to be products with an emerging future market 30

for small LIB cells but with enormous quantities The price per kWh that can be stored plays a 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

36

less important role for these applications As far as charging is concerned technologies such 1

as energy harvesting and wireless charging are expected to be introduced in the future For 2

many markets and products such as household devices garden cleaning power tools other 3

mobile leisure applications etc today mostly cylindrical LIB cells of the format 18650 are used 4

With the introduction of 21700 cells also larger cylindrical cells become available now and are 5

expected to be used in diffuse in such applications Although different specific cell chemistries 6

might be suitable depending on the concrete application again it can be stated that the 3C 7

segment is expected to lead to a comparably small battery capacity demand compared to the 8

EV segment and will not be the limiting segment with respect to the risk of resource 9

dependencies 10

In the next few years growth rates of about 5 to 10 percent are expected for the 3C markets 11

while laptop battery demand is developing at lower growth rates and power tools medical 12

devices etc are supporting the growth rates for the battery demand 13

14

15

Figure 28 Demand and growth of the 3C LIB market [34] 16

2342 LIB markets for stationary (ESS) applications 17

Stationary energy storage systems (ESS) can be divided into different size classes with regard 18

to the capacity and charging times Both together decide on the application area (eg small 19

PV storage at home peak load to long-term storage) [35] Beyond that the price per kWh put 20

through over the lifetime is the economic key factor (as synthesized by the LCOE levelized 21

cost of energy) In contrast gravimetric and volumetric energy density plays a subordinate 22

role Due to that lead-acid batteries were often used as storage technology for off- and on-23

grid storage Currently LIBs are being established for commercial use and meanwhile reach 24

an annual demand of some few GWh Other electrochemical storage technologies such as 25

sodium-sulfur batteries are still used but the demand for LIB is strongly increasing for ESS It 26

is expected that 2nd life concepts for batteries that had their first life in electric vehicles will 27

gain importance together with market diffusion in the EV segment as the requirements on the 28

batteries are less demanding in the ESS segment This however will require the development 29

of according business models standardization etc The much broader available technology 30

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

37

portfolio for ESS applications the use of 2nd life batteries and the fact that electric vehicle 1

batteries that are connected to the grid on a large scale with higher market diffusion can be 2

regarded as stationary storage systems as well (vehicle to grid V2G grid to vehicle G2V) help 3

to reduce the risk of technological and resource dependencies in the future 4

The market for stationary storage applications (ESS) is experiencing growth rates of 20 to 30 5

percent depending on individual market forecasts (in the last years CAGR have even been on 6

the level of 60 but decrease with increasing size of the market see Figure 29) 7

The market is currently on a level of few GWh including applications from smaller PV storage 8

systems of 5-10 kWh to larger industrial and grid connected installations for own power 9

consumption peak shaving etc on the MWh level Regarding these growth rates LIB for ESS 10

applications rapidly gain importance as de-central storage solutions compared to the currently 11

dominating central pumped hydro storage (PHS) Forecasts to 2025 differ by size and expect 12

an ESS LIB demand between 20-50 GWh (partially higher eg in [23]) but all forecasts identify 13

high growth rates 14

15

Figure 29 Demand and growth of the ESS LIB market [34] 16

17

2343 LIB markets for electric vehicle applications 18

One of the biggest challenges for batteries for electric vehicles (EV including electric cars 19

buses trucks etc) apart from their price is the increase of their volumetric and gravimetric 20

energy density The volumetric energy density is even more important for OEM due to 21

restricted and fixed space and location of the battery in an electric vehicle A very relevant 22

parameter of a battery is its charging and discharging power in particular in continuous 23

operation It determines the fast-charging capability which is an important argument in the 24

use and the establishment on the market At the same time this sets limits to the high-25

performance operation since energy consumption is reduced to protect the battery from 26

damage This illustrates the conflicting effect of different parameters on the battery lifetime 27

Price volume weight and thus charge density as well as chargedischarge rate in terms of 28

usage and durability are the most urgent challenges for battery manufacturers 29

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

38

The market for EV batteries is currently at the level of about 50 GWh (including electric 1

passenger cars busses trucks ebikes scooter forklifts etc) Growth rates are at 20 to 40 2

percent and the demand for EV batteries will lead to a share of about 66 percent in 2020 76 3

percent until 2025 and 80 percent or higher in the long term Electric passenger cars (BEV 4

and PHEV) define the by far largest market within the EV segment and are clearly driving the 5

technology development of high energy Lithium-Ion or Lithium-based batteries in the future 6

7

Figure 30 Demand and growth of the EV LIB market [34] 8

9

Other motive (or stationary or portable) markets applications besides the highly competitive 10

electric passenger cars therefore can offer interesting growth markets also for smaller cell 11

producers beyond the large Japanese Korean and Chinese cell producers These markets or 12

applications very often define concrete requirements for the battery performance they require 13

an in depth understanding and design from the cell chemistry format to the modulepack and 14

system integration and they still vary strongly by region and are connected to individual system 15

integrators or OEM This is because each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses 16

and none of them can satisfy all userapplication demands Hence a broader application 17

specific technology portfolio is even urgently needed in order to provide alternative individual 18

technology solutions for these emerging marketsapplications 19

20

235 Market channels and production structure 21

2351 Global production capacities and major players 22

Since their commercialization in the 1990s LIB have been predominantly produced by 23

Japanese and Korean companies Driven by the Chinese government particularly cell 24

producers but also companies covering other steps of the LIB value creation chain have been 25

established in China Due to a policy of simultaneous support for LIB production as well as for 26

application markets and due to an extensive subsidy scheme a large share of LIB production 27

capacities is located in China today 28

Figure 31 Figure 32 Figure 33 and Figure 34 show the global LIB production capacities of 29

major cell producers in 2018 as well as forecasts for 2020 2025 and 2030 respectively [36] 30

The data is based on announcements made by the cell producers As discussed in section 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

39

233 the actual time-frame for the implementation of the capacity expansions is often delayed 1

with respect to the original announcements Hence minimum and maximum values for the 2

production capacities are given 3

Figure 34 Global LIB production capacities of major cell producers in 2030 [36] 2

Until 2030 the announced production capacities add up to more than 1 TWh In total there 3

are about 30 cell producers which have announced to build up production capacities of more 4

than 10 GWhyear which can be considered to be a threshold in order to be able to produce 5

at competitve costs [36] If the announced capacities are fully utilized the ldquobig 4rdquo (Panasonic 6

CATL LGC and BYD) will be able to fully cover the market demand (gt550 GWh) until 2025 7

2352 Europes position in the global battery value chain 8

In the EU several actors are positioned which cover production steps along the whole value 9

chain of LIBs starting from raw material production to production of cells and systems and 10

finally recycling However with respect to global markets only few organizations within the EU 11

have a market share of more than 1 in their specific segment eg BASF Germany in the 12

field of electrolyte production [30] 13

An overview about existing and active companies is given by the European Battery Alliance 14

(see Figure 35) Due to the presence of strong automotive OEM LIB pack manufacturing and 15

system integration is taking place on large scale in Europe A particular gap in the value chain 16

is present due to the lack of a large-scale cell production capable of serving the volumes and 17

prices required by the automotive industry 18

Several consortia are currently attempting to build up a European large scale cell 4

manufacturing such as Nothvolt (Sweden) with 32 GWh until 2023 or Saft (together with 5

Siemens and Manz) [39] Recently the German government announced plans for funding of 6

a Batterie-Cell-Alliance between Germany and Poland with cell production capacities in the 7

Regions Lausitz (Germany) and Westpoland [40 41] At the cross section between RampD and 8

large-scale production also a Research Production with 600 Mio EUR funding is foreseen 9

whereas the Fraunhofer Society should coordinate and run such a research production [42] 10

The announced funding from the German government sums up to 2 bn EUR 11

Given all these announced investments and production capacities to build up in the next years 12

the cell production capacities of European cell manufacturers could sum up to over 40 GWh 13

beyond 2025 In contrast main Asian cell manufacturer have already started with cell 14

production (eg LG SDI) or plan to build up production capacities until 2020 to 2025 In 15

concrete there are plans from [43ndash51] 16

17

bull CATL (China) to build 14 GWh in Germany Erfurt beyond 2020 18

bull LG Chem (Japan) to build 15 to 24 GWh (for 03 Mio EVs) in Poland beyond 2020 19

bull Samsung SDI (Japan) to build 10 to 15 GWh beyond 2020 in Hungary (including a 20

recent 5 GWh announcement for 21700 cells for Land Rover 21

bull SK Innovation (Japan) to build 75 GWh in Hungary beyond 2020 22

bull PanasonicTesla to build a (assumed 35GWh) Gigafactory in Europa around 2025 23

bull as well as from BYD (China) GS Yuasa (Japan) and Farasis (US) to build production 24

capacities between 2020 and 2025 25

26

The production capacities from Asian (or non-European) cell manufacturer might sum up to 27

well above 82-96 GWh by 2025 and including BYD GS Yuasa Farasis etc capacities far 28

above 100 GWh can be expected Together with the new EU cell producers this could easily 29

sum up towards the above mentioned 200 GWh demand in Europe But it also clearly indicates 30

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

44

the competition the emerging European players have to face (besides the fact that the plans 1

of the Asian companies are expected to be realized already several years earlier as those of 2

the novel EU companies) 3

2353 Product design trends and technological roadmap 4

Concerning the battery technology or type (by chemistry format etc) which will most likely 5

be produced to address this increasing demand the global roadmaps of cell producers are 6

basically similar Based on state-of-the art cell design (eg LFP NCA based ldquogeneration 1rdquo 7

and NMC111 to NMC532 ldquogeneration 2abrdquo Li-ion batteries) [52] and state-of-the-art 8

production equipment incremental improvements are expected in the next few years but with 9

the target to get to higher-energy lithium-ion batteries Concerning the electrolytes still liquid 10

electrolytes will be used but adopted to the changing electrode materials (eg with additives) 11

Current trends for layered oxide cathodes describe the development of Ni-rich (Co reduced) 12

materials (NMC) A few cell producers are already using NMC811 or comparable cathode 13

materials others are still adopting NMC622 (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3ardquo) On cathode 14

side maybe even lower-cost Mn-rich High Energy NMCs (HE-NMC) might be realized and 15

produced within ~10 years as Mn is cheaper than Ni (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3brdquo) On 16

anode side the trend is to incorporate Si-nano particles to make use of the alloying reaction 17

between Si and Li yielding a high capacitance This however comes at the cost of cycle life 18

Further down the road we might see higher Si contents (~20) 19

20

All-solid-state batteries are on the roadmap of many battery producers but also OEM (also 21

referred to as ldquogeneration 4rdquo) The key performance parameters (KPI) are suitable for electric 22

mobility (EV) Main challenges are indeed manufacturability particularly for ceramic solid state 23

electrolytes which promise to yield the highest advantages over state of the art technologies 24

The market introduction in niche applications is expected possible prior to the use in 25

automotive applications First all-solid-state batteries might not be competitive in terms of 26

energy density but safety properties Later on energy densities of 350-400 Whkg and higher 27

are expected 28

Other technologies (not marked in blue in the above figure) feature certain USPs compared to 4

Li-ion batteries but (according to the current level of knowledge) do not reach the necessary 5

KPIs in terms of energy density power density and cycling stability necessary for electric 6

mobility (these are marked in grey) USPs of these technologies can be cost resource 7

availability either volumetric or gravimetric energy density or others But often even 8

fundamental challenges are not solved yet (eg concerning the stability of materials and 9

electrochemical systems kinetics etc) 10

24 Consumer expenditure base data 2

241 General objective of subtask 24 and approach 3

Subtask 24 gives an overview about average production costs and consumer prices incl 4

VAT (for consumer prices streetprice) excl VAT (for B2B products) as well as an estimation 5

of repair and maintenance as well as installation and disposal costs 6

Due to their recent larger scale market introduction there is still little experience with 7

maintenance as well as disposal expenses Hence only estimations can be made based on 8

isolated sources 9

242 Development of LIB cell costs 10

As the core of LIB based energy storage systems the battery cell exhibits the highest cost 11

share During the last years particularly standardized 18650 format LIB cells have 12

experienced a steep cost learning curve benefiting from production scale effects but also 13

from technological advancements on material level increasing the energy density per volume 14

and weight and decreasing the amount of cost intense Cobalt-based components Compared 15

to this benchmark larger format LIB cells (Pouch prismatic) as are utilized in xEVs and ESS 16

predominantly feature lower energy densities at higher cost per kWh There are however no 17

principal limitations which would prevent a performance and cost development similar to what 18

was observed for cylindrical cells Figure 39 shows the cost learning curves for cylindrical as 19

well as larger format LIB cells [33] Today average costs for cells suitable for automotive use 20

are below 150 eurokWh (cylindrical) and around 200 eurokWh (Pouchprismatic) In specific cases 21

prices around 100 eurokWh have been reported already [53] It should however be noted that 22

with the current market situation LIB prices being below costs are not unlikely to occur 23

Until 2025 production costs of the different cell formats are expected to approach and fall 24

below the mark of 100 eurokWh between 2020 and 2025 Taking further developments on 25

material level into account costs around 60-100 eurokWh seam feasible past 2025 26

Figure 39 Cost learning curves for large LIB cells (cylindrical and Pouchprismatic) [33] 3

Similar cost learning curves have been observed for other battery technologies (see Figure 4

40) In principal cost degression can be limited by demand (compare NiCd) or by reaching 5

material cost limits (compare Pb) Also the diffusion of battery technologies in new markets 6

or applications can lead to further technological improvements and justify higher production 7

costs (compare deviation of NiMH Pb) Following the available data for LIB cells approx 100 8

$kWh (~89 eurokWh) are reached at a cumulative yearly production of 1TWh This mark is 9

expected to be reached between 2020 and 2030 10

Beyond 2030 LIB production costs are however expected to start deviating from this curve 11

due to limiting raw material prices 12

2432 ESS 7

According to recent end-customer price data provided in [55] for 2018 typical consumer prices 8

for small scale (~10 kWh) stationary home storage systems are between 5000 and 15000 9

Euros leading to a relative price of 800 to 1200 eurokWh It is expected that these system prices 10

will benefit from the growing battery markets (also xEV) since similar LIB cell types can be 11

applied in both application areas With respect to inverters and other system related costs the 12

smaller market volume of home ESS indicates lower economy of scale effects as compared 13

to cells 14

244 Installation repair and maintenance costs 15

2441 xEV 16

So far no comprehensive information on repair and maintenance costs for the battery system 17

of xEVs are available Due to still rather accommodating service policies repair or 18

replacement of batteries is so far often covered by the manufacturer 19

Will be added in a later review 5

2451 Second life and recycling considerations 6

Until today only pilot projects Strategy of automotive OEM regarding second life applications 7

is not known 8

Value of recycled materials can be estimated 9

Three main scenarios possible after end of 1st life (xEV) 10

1 Disposal of batteries (eg separation of liquid and solid components hazardous waste 11

disposal) 12

2 Recycling of batteries and direct regeneration and re-use of cathode materials (2a) or 13

recovery of metals (2b) 14

3 2nd life in ESS applications under limited load (low DOD cycling low power) 15

16

Scenario 1 will add another component to battery costs scenario 2 and 3 could significantly 17

decrease the cost of batteries if energy efficient recycling methods can be developed or viable 18

2nd life business models are established 19

26 Annex 1

2611 Modelling of addressable markets for electric applications 2

Vehicle markets (in units of registrations in the EU28 per year) and ESS markets (in units of 3

number of installed home PV systems or in units of overall renewable (PV wind) electricity 4

generation in the EU28 per year) were modelled by exponential functions 5

119872119905119886119901119901(119905) = 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 6

With Mtapp(t) being the total market volume of an application M0 the market size in 2015 and 7

120591 times 119871119899(2) the time t necessary to double the initial market volume M0 M0 and Tau were chosen 8

to fit existing market data 9

119872119886119901119901(119905) = 119888 times 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 10

With Mapp(t) being the addressable market and c a factor equal or smaller than 1 Parameter 11

c lt 1 was chosen to take into account that not the whole existing market Mtapp might be 12

addressable by electric technologies Eg a share of vehicles primarily used for long distance 13

travel might not be addressable by BEV but by PHEV only 14

The market addressable for passenger PHEV (as a transition technology on the path to full 15

electric vehicles) was modelled as the difference of total vehicle sales and BEV sales 16

119872119875119867119864119881(119905) = 119888 times 119872119905119901119886119904119904119890119899119892119890119903(119905) minus 119878119861119864119881(119905) 17

The market addressable for passenger BEV was modelled like Mapp(t) with c lt 1 18

2612 Modelling of sales numbers of xEV and ESS 19

Yearly sales numbers Sapp(t) for the different applications were modelled by logistic growth 20

functions Logistic functions can model diffusion of technologies into existing markets with a 21

given market volume M The market volume can be a moving target M = M(t) The relative 22

change of sales numbers Srsquoapp(t)Sapp(t) is proportional to the market volume not yet 23

developed by a technology Mapp(t) ndash Sapp(t) 24

119878119886119901119901(119905) = 119872119886119901119901(119905) times1

1 + 119864119909119901(minus119872119886119901119901(119905) times (119905 minus 1199050)120591)(119872119886119901119901(119905)

119878119886119901119901(1199050)minus 1)

25

With Tau being a time constant and Sapp(t0) being the yearly sales number at year t0 (eg 26

2015) 27

Short time constants Tau of few years were used to model ESS sales Due to limitations of 28

the existing electricity grid to only buffer a certain share of fluctuating PV and wind generated 29

electricity the further expansion of renewable electricity generation might be strongly coupled 30

to ESS installations Hence ESS sales were modelled to closely follow the assumed 31

installations of renewable power in the limit of ldquovery fastrdquo market diffusion (120591 rarr 0) 32

2613 Modelling of battery system capacities 33

Battery capacities EBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws In 34

particular BEV battery capacities increased in the last years from 30 kWh in 2013 to more than 35

40 kWh in 2018 (EU sales and production averages) In the long term we expect BEV 36

capacities to converge towards a value sufficient to provide average driving ranges of some 37

100 km Battery capacity growth rates are hence supposed to slow down 38

119864119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198640 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 1

With E0 being the average battery capacity in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years and 2

b an exponent lt 1 The parameters were chosen to fit existing data 3

2614 Modelling of battery replacement rates 4

Battery replacement rates RrBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws 5

The replacement rate defines the share of batteries installed in year t that had to be replaced 6

within the lifetime of a system (xEV ESS) In particular for vehicles it is assumed that xEV 7

manufacturers currently install battery cells with a high lifetime and cyclability (several 8

thousand cycles) In the mid-term we expect that battery life and vehicle life (eg 200000 to 9

300000 km) will be matched by car manufacturers Assuming a constant vehicle lifetime 10

battery replacement rates are supposed to increase over time 11

119877119903119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198770 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 12

With R0 being the average replacement rate in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years 13

and b an exponent lt 1 At present there is no data available to fit the parameters Parameters 14

were estimated based on the usage profile and load of different applications 15

2615 Modelling of system lifetimes (xEV ESS) 16

System lifetimes Ltsystem(t) were assumed to be constant Ltsystem(t)= Ltsystem Parameters were 17

estimated based on manufacturer statements and typical lifetimes for combustion powered 18

vehicles 19

2616 Calculation of battery replacements 20

Battery replacements RpBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 21

calculated by assuming a uniform distribution of battery replacements over the lifetime 22

Ltsystem(i) of battery systems installed in year i 23

119877119901119861119886119905119905(119905) = sum119877119903119861119886119905119905(119894) times 119878119886119901119901(119894) times 119864119861119886119905119905(119894)

24

2617 Calculation of battery decommissions 25

Battery decommissions DcBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 26

assumed to happen coincident with the end of life of the systems (Ltsystem) they were installed 27

in in year i This neglects any second life usage in t gt i It was assumed that xEV or ESS 28

manufacturers will tune the battery lifetime to match the system lifetime (see 2614) 29

2618 Calculation of yearly installed battery capacity 31

The yearly installed battery capacity Sbapp(t) in the EU28 was calculated as 32

119878119887119886119901119901(119905) = 119878119886119901119901(119905) times 119864119886119901119901119861119886119905119905(119905) + 119877119901119886119901119901

224 Summary of the market sales forecast and estimation of the future 1

and past stock 2

As shown in sections 222 and 223 several drivers exist for the application of battery storage 3

systems in stationary and motive applications While the demand for battery capacity 4

generated by BEV and PHEV passenger cars was on the level of several GWh for 2017 the 5

ESS markets might still be below the 1 GWh mark in the EU 6

With respect to the increase of average battery capacity installed in different applications (see 7

Figure 22) and the growth rates for the sales of xEV and ESS (see sections 2223 and 8

2232) forecasts for the total new installations (including replacements) of batteries in the 9

EU28 are shown in Figure 23 See annex for further comments 10

11

Figure 22 Average system battery energy (kWh or MWh) forecast 12

23 Market trends 3

231 General objective of subtask 23 and approach 4

The following chapter provides a comprehensive market overview on global battery sales 5

demand and players Starting with the market development of Lithium-ion batteries between 6

2010 to 2017 scenarios until 2025 to 2030 are presented including a meta-analysis of several 7

most recent market reports (eg [18ndash27]) Step by step the regional markets and markets by 8

applications will be specified 9

232 Market drivers and CO2 legislation [28] 10

Climate and energy policies are main drivers for the energy future and are expected to lead to 11

an increasing demand for energy storage in the mid and long term (see Figure 24) According 12

to the European Unionacutes decarbonization objective a reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) 13

emissions to 80 ndash 95 below 1990 levels should be achieved by 2050 14

In particular for the transport sector no full decarbonization is achieved [29] even in the longer 15

term (other sectors have to compensate with higher GHG reductions) The overall reduction 16

achieved in the transport sector by 2050 is only around 60 below 1990 levels The 17

increasing trend in emissions seen over the past 20 years is expected to reverse by the CO2 18

legislation From 2020 on the fleet average to be achieved by all new cars is 95 grams of CO2 19

per kilometer (compared to 130 gkm in 2015) 20

Many other governments world-wide have specified CO2 emission targets and are striving 21

towards a low carbon economy Particularly in the field of passenger and commercial vehicles 22

fuel consumption and emission targets have been installed which significantly drive the 23

introduction of battery or fuel cell powered electric vehicles Among these emission policies 24

the targets set by the EU are among the most ambitious (see Table 11) Meeting them will 25

require a significant share of electric vehicles 26

Table 11 Overview about fuel consumption and CO2-emission targets for passenger vehicles 1

of the EU and other countries leading battery and electric mobility markets [30] 2

In this context electric mobility is gaining importance since electric vehicles especially plug-3

in hybrid and pure battery electric vehicles can help to achieve or fulfill these limits due to 4

improved CO2 footprints compared to conventional cars However for low CO2 footprints over 5

the lifetime of electric cars a high share of ldquolow carbonrdquo renewable energy sources (RES) in 6

the energy mix is needed and important (Figure 24 left side) 7

8

Figure 24 Climate and energy policies as drivers for future energy storage demand [28] 9

The EU Energy Roadmap 2050 [31 32] has shown across six scenarios that the 10

decarbonization goal can be achieved if the share of renewable energy sources (RES) among 11

the power generation capacity is high (gt 60 until 2050) for all scenarios Especially for the 12

high RES scenario the share of fluctuating energy generation (wind photovoltaic ndash PV) is the 13

strongest which has to be balanced Grid expansion andor flexibilization measures (eg 14

demand side management power to gas and vehicle to grid besides stationary battery 15

storage) are potential solutions Thus the high RES scenario is the most interesting scenario 16

with respect to a potential future demand for energy storage solutions (ESS) on local 17

distribution and transmission grid levels (Figure 24 right side) In order to have a significant 18

GHG reduction with EVs it will also be important to achieve the RES targets 19

233 The developing battery market 1

The total annual battery market is currently on the level of 45-60 billion Euro representing 2

approximately 400-500 GWh (including Lead-acid Lithium-Ion and other batteries) [33] 3

Lithium-ion batteries (LIB) have succeeded because of their high gravimetric and volumetric 4

energy densities and have a market share of about a third in terms of value among the whole 5

battery market The growth is driven by the decreasing cell costs of less than 170 eurokWh for a 6

standard cylindrical cell (lowest prices) approaching the 90 eurokWh mark in the next years This 7

cost degression is due to increasing capacity demand and production and thus due to scale 8

effects 9

Although the LIB market is drastically growing with annual growth rates of up to 30 percent 10

on average (in terms of battery capacity demand) the dominating battery technology in terms 11

of capacity however are still lead-acid batteries representing about 90 percent of the global 12

demand in volume around 2010 and 80 percent in 2017 13

14

15

Figure 25 Historical development of the global battery demand in GWh (left axis for NiCd 16

NiMH right axis for all other battery types grey total battery demand) [34] 17

Other mature battery technologies like NiCd (still partly used in power tools) and NiMH (still 18

used in hybrid electric vehicles HEV) are slowly declining and are expected to disappear from 19

the market in the next decade The diversification of future battery applications however will 20

also broaden the range of battery technologies Emerging technologies like Na-based Metal-21

Sulfur or Redox Flow batteries are developing and may lead to attractive solutions eg with 22

respect to cost and resource availability advantages However due to very strict requirements 23

on volumetric energy densities these technologies are expected to be relevant for stationary 24

or other special markets and less for the most significant electric vehicle market In general 25

each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses and none of them can satisfy all user 26

demands Hence a broader application-specific technology portfolio is urgently needed in 27

order to provide alternative technology solutions in the future 28

The extremely dynamic development of the global LIB demand will lead to the TWh level latest 29

around 2030 and grow further after 2030 Thus LIB will very soon transform into the 30

dominating energy storage technology 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

34

Figure 26 shows three different scenarios for the global demand for LIB between 2010 and 1

2030 (green curves) along with global production capacities (orange and blue curve)[33] 2

While at the beginning of the decade the demand and sales numbers followed the medium 3

growth rate trend scenario the market has been approaching the high growth rate scenario in 4

the last years This is mainly due to the strong engagement of politics and respective 5

regulation and subsidy programs for electric mobility As can be seen from the graph the 6

share of demand generated by motive applications is expected to significantly grow in the next 7

years and might account for more than one third of the total LIB demand by 2025 8

To face this increasing demand for LIB cells accordingly production capacities need to be 9

build up in the near future Based on the currently existing cell production capacities and the 10

global announcements from established and new cell producers until 2025 the LIB cell 11

production capacities (blue line in 12

Figure 26) have been identified Compared to 15 GWh added production capacity between 13

2013 and 2016 in the next years around 50 GWh will be added annually leading to around 14

700 GWh production capacities until 2025 (in the optimistic case see blue line in 15

Figure 26) The announcements include established players such as Panasonic (JP) LG 16

Chem (KR) Samsung (KR) SKI (KR) BYD (CN) Lishen (CN) CATL (CN) CALB (CN) 17

OPTIMUM (CN) and several further Chinese cell producers Also new players such as TerraE 18

(DE) Northvolt (SW) Boston Energy (US AU) Energy Absolute (Thailand) are included 19

while accounting for the different stages of expansion [20 27] 20

21

234 Battery markets by application 23

Diversification of applications for batteries 24

The above described global developments of battery demand and production strongly concern 25

high-energy lithium-ion batteries with the cell chemistries NMC NCA (Ni-rich and Co-reduced 26

cathodes) and SiC (high capacity SiC anodes with 5-10 or higher Si content) and cell 27

formats cylindrical (eg larger 21700 compared to standard 18650) large pouch or prismatic 28

cells The target is to develop and produce cells with improved gravimetric and volumetric 29

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

35

energy densities and reduced costs in order to meet the requirements of the automotive 1

industry Electric passenger cars are driving the demand and thus development of the battery 2

technology and these optimized and cost reduced batteries define the benchmark today and 3

in the future 4

LIB demand by applications 5

In Figure 27 the global LIB demand is broken down to the three main sectors for battery 6

demand which can be characterised each having different profiles of requirement 7

bull electric mobility or electric vehicles (EV including eg passenger cars light 8

commercial vehicles buses trucks scooters ebikes etc) 9

bull stationary energy storage systems (ESS) and 10

bull portable devices (3C ndash Computer Communication Consumer) 11

The LIB cell demand developed to almost 25 GWh in 2010 since the market introduction in 12

the early 1990s and dominantly resulted from portable devices In 2015 the cell demand of 13

about 70 GWh was distributed already almost 5050 between 3C and EV applications 14

15

Figure 27 Global LIB demand (in GWh and share in ) by segment [34] 16

Since 2015 the global LIB demand has increased with compound annual growth rates 17

(CAGR) of ~25 from about 70 GWh to about 110 GWh in 2017 The market for electric 18

vehicles currently grows with 30-40 (and more depending on the application and region) and 19

a diversification in applications (eg buses trucks other light to heavy commercial vehicles 20

marine applications drones etc) can be observed 21

With the diversification of future markets and applications cost sensitive markets will arise for 22

which optimized high-energy and cost reduced automotive cells of certain cell formats will be 23

used However also applications with stronger requirements on long lifetime high cycleability 24

fast charging capability safety etc will emerge and diffuse where cost is not the most 25

relevant factor and other battery technologies (ie cell chemistries formats) can provide a 26

unique selling proposition and hence lead to a product differentiation 27

2341 LIB markets for 3C applications 28

Portable devices (3C) have been the main applications for LIB cells in the past Power tools 29

medical devices and wearables are expected to be products with an emerging future market 30

for small LIB cells but with enormous quantities The price per kWh that can be stored plays a 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

36

less important role for these applications As far as charging is concerned technologies such 1

as energy harvesting and wireless charging are expected to be introduced in the future For 2

many markets and products such as household devices garden cleaning power tools other 3

mobile leisure applications etc today mostly cylindrical LIB cells of the format 18650 are used 4

With the introduction of 21700 cells also larger cylindrical cells become available now and are 5

expected to be used in diffuse in such applications Although different specific cell chemistries 6

might be suitable depending on the concrete application again it can be stated that the 3C 7

segment is expected to lead to a comparably small battery capacity demand compared to the 8

EV segment and will not be the limiting segment with respect to the risk of resource 9

dependencies 10

In the next few years growth rates of about 5 to 10 percent are expected for the 3C markets 11

while laptop battery demand is developing at lower growth rates and power tools medical 12

devices etc are supporting the growth rates for the battery demand 13

14

15

Figure 28 Demand and growth of the 3C LIB market [34] 16

2342 LIB markets for stationary (ESS) applications 17

Stationary energy storage systems (ESS) can be divided into different size classes with regard 18

to the capacity and charging times Both together decide on the application area (eg small 19

PV storage at home peak load to long-term storage) [35] Beyond that the price per kWh put 20

through over the lifetime is the economic key factor (as synthesized by the LCOE levelized 21

cost of energy) In contrast gravimetric and volumetric energy density plays a subordinate 22

role Due to that lead-acid batteries were often used as storage technology for off- and on-23

grid storage Currently LIBs are being established for commercial use and meanwhile reach 24

an annual demand of some few GWh Other electrochemical storage technologies such as 25

sodium-sulfur batteries are still used but the demand for LIB is strongly increasing for ESS It 26

is expected that 2nd life concepts for batteries that had their first life in electric vehicles will 27

gain importance together with market diffusion in the EV segment as the requirements on the 28

batteries are less demanding in the ESS segment This however will require the development 29

of according business models standardization etc The much broader available technology 30

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

37

portfolio for ESS applications the use of 2nd life batteries and the fact that electric vehicle 1

batteries that are connected to the grid on a large scale with higher market diffusion can be 2

regarded as stationary storage systems as well (vehicle to grid V2G grid to vehicle G2V) help 3

to reduce the risk of technological and resource dependencies in the future 4

The market for stationary storage applications (ESS) is experiencing growth rates of 20 to 30 5

percent depending on individual market forecasts (in the last years CAGR have even been on 6

the level of 60 but decrease with increasing size of the market see Figure 29) 7

The market is currently on a level of few GWh including applications from smaller PV storage 8

systems of 5-10 kWh to larger industrial and grid connected installations for own power 9

consumption peak shaving etc on the MWh level Regarding these growth rates LIB for ESS 10

applications rapidly gain importance as de-central storage solutions compared to the currently 11

dominating central pumped hydro storage (PHS) Forecasts to 2025 differ by size and expect 12

an ESS LIB demand between 20-50 GWh (partially higher eg in [23]) but all forecasts identify 13

high growth rates 14

15

17

2343 LIB markets for electric vehicle applications 18

One of the biggest challenges for batteries for electric vehicles (EV including electric cars 19

buses trucks etc) apart from their price is the increase of their volumetric and gravimetric 20

energy density The volumetric energy density is even more important for OEM due to 21

restricted and fixed space and location of the battery in an electric vehicle A very relevant 22

parameter of a battery is its charging and discharging power in particular in continuous 23

operation It determines the fast-charging capability which is an important argument in the 24

use and the establishment on the market At the same time this sets limits to the high-25

performance operation since energy consumption is reduced to protect the battery from 26

damage This illustrates the conflicting effect of different parameters on the battery lifetime 27

Price volume weight and thus charge density as well as chargedischarge rate in terms of 28

usage and durability are the most urgent challenges for battery manufacturers 29

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

38

The market for EV batteries is currently at the level of about 50 GWh (including electric 1

passenger cars busses trucks ebikes scooter forklifts etc) Growth rates are at 20 to 40 2

percent and the demand for EV batteries will lead to a share of about 66 percent in 2020 76 3

percent until 2025 and 80 percent or higher in the long term Electric passenger cars (BEV 4

and PHEV) define the by far largest market within the EV segment and are clearly driving the 5

technology development of high energy Lithium-Ion or Lithium-based batteries in the future 6

7

Figure 30 Demand and growth of the EV LIB market [34] 8

9

Other motive (or stationary or portable) markets applications besides the highly competitive 10

electric passenger cars therefore can offer interesting growth markets also for smaller cell 11

producers beyond the large Japanese Korean and Chinese cell producers These markets or 12

applications very often define concrete requirements for the battery performance they require 13

an in depth understanding and design from the cell chemistry format to the modulepack and 14

system integration and they still vary strongly by region and are connected to individual system 15

integrators or OEM This is because each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses 16

and none of them can satisfy all userapplication demands Hence a broader application 17

specific technology portfolio is even urgently needed in order to provide alternative individual 18

technology solutions for these emerging marketsapplications 19

20

235 Market channels and production structure 21

2351 Global production capacities and major players 22

Since their commercialization in the 1990s LIB have been predominantly produced by 23

Japanese and Korean companies Driven by the Chinese government particularly cell 24

producers but also companies covering other steps of the LIB value creation chain have been 25

established in China Due to a policy of simultaneous support for LIB production as well as for 26

application markets and due to an extensive subsidy scheme a large share of LIB production 27

capacities is located in China today 28

Figure 31 Figure 32 Figure 33 and Figure 34 show the global LIB production capacities of 29

major cell producers in 2018 as well as forecasts for 2020 2025 and 2030 respectively [36] 30

The data is based on announcements made by the cell producers As discussed in section 31

39

233 the actual time-frame for the implementation of the capacity expansions is often delayed 1

with respect to the original announcements Hence minimum and maximum values for the 2

production capacities are given 3

Figure 34 Global LIB production capacities of major cell producers in 2030 [36] 2

Until 2030 the announced production capacities add up to more than 1 TWh In total there 3

are about 30 cell producers which have announced to build up production capacities of more 4

than 10 GWhyear which can be considered to be a threshold in order to be able to produce 5

at competitve costs [36] If the announced capacities are fully utilized the ldquobig 4rdquo (Panasonic 6

CATL LGC and BYD) will be able to fully cover the market demand (gt550 GWh) until 2025 7

2352 Europes position in the global battery value chain 8

In the EU several actors are positioned which cover production steps along the whole value 9

chain of LIBs starting from raw material production to production of cells and systems and 10

finally recycling However with respect to global markets only few organizations within the EU 11

have a market share of more than 1 in their specific segment eg BASF Germany in the 12

field of electrolyte production [30] 13

An overview about existing and active companies is given by the European Battery Alliance 14

(see Figure 35) Due to the presence of strong automotive OEM LIB pack manufacturing and 15

system integration is taking place on large scale in Europe A particular gap in the value chain 16

is present due to the lack of a large-scale cell production capable of serving the volumes and 17

prices required by the automotive industry 18

Several consortia are currently attempting to build up a European large scale cell 4

manufacturing such as Nothvolt (Sweden) with 32 GWh until 2023 or Saft (together with 5

Siemens and Manz) [39] Recently the German government announced plans for funding of 6

a Batterie-Cell-Alliance between Germany and Poland with cell production capacities in the 7

Regions Lausitz (Germany) and Westpoland [40 41] At the cross section between RampD and 8

large-scale production also a Research Production with 600 Mio EUR funding is foreseen 9

whereas the Fraunhofer Society should coordinate and run such a research production [42] 10

The announced funding from the German government sums up to 2 bn EUR 11

Given all these announced investments and production capacities to build up in the next years 12

the cell production capacities of European cell manufacturers could sum up to over 40 GWh 13

beyond 2025 In contrast main Asian cell manufacturer have already started with cell 14

production (eg LG SDI) or plan to build up production capacities until 2020 to 2025 In 15

concrete there are plans from [43ndash51] 16

17

bull CATL (China) to build 14 GWh in Germany Erfurt beyond 2020 18

bull LG Chem (Japan) to build 15 to 24 GWh (for 03 Mio EVs) in Poland beyond 2020 19

bull Samsung SDI (Japan) to build 10 to 15 GWh beyond 2020 in Hungary (including a 20

recent 5 GWh announcement for 21700 cells for Land Rover 21

bull SK Innovation (Japan) to build 75 GWh in Hungary beyond 2020 22

bull PanasonicTesla to build a (assumed 35GWh) Gigafactory in Europa around 2025 23

bull as well as from BYD (China) GS Yuasa (Japan) and Farasis (US) to build production 24

capacities between 2020 and 2025 25

26

The production capacities from Asian (or non-European) cell manufacturer might sum up to 27

well above 82-96 GWh by 2025 and including BYD GS Yuasa Farasis etc capacities far 28

above 100 GWh can be expected Together with the new EU cell producers this could easily 29

sum up towards the above mentioned 200 GWh demand in Europe But it also clearly indicates 30

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

44

the competition the emerging European players have to face (besides the fact that the plans 1

of the Asian companies are expected to be realized already several years earlier as those of 2

the novel EU companies) 3

2353 Product design trends and technological roadmap 4

Concerning the battery technology or type (by chemistry format etc) which will most likely 5

be produced to address this increasing demand the global roadmaps of cell producers are 6

basically similar Based on state-of-the art cell design (eg LFP NCA based ldquogeneration 1rdquo 7

and NMC111 to NMC532 ldquogeneration 2abrdquo Li-ion batteries) [52] and state-of-the-art 8

production equipment incremental improvements are expected in the next few years but with 9

the target to get to higher-energy lithium-ion batteries Concerning the electrolytes still liquid 10

electrolytes will be used but adopted to the changing electrode materials (eg with additives) 11

Current trends for layered oxide cathodes describe the development of Ni-rich (Co reduced) 12

materials (NMC) A few cell producers are already using NMC811 or comparable cathode 13

materials others are still adopting NMC622 (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3ardquo) On cathode 14

side maybe even lower-cost Mn-rich High Energy NMCs (HE-NMC) might be realized and 15

produced within ~10 years as Mn is cheaper than Ni (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3brdquo) On 16

anode side the trend is to incorporate Si-nano particles to make use of the alloying reaction 17

between Si and Li yielding a high capacitance This however comes at the cost of cycle life 18

Further down the road we might see higher Si contents (~20) 19

20

All-solid-state batteries are on the roadmap of many battery producers but also OEM (also 21

referred to as ldquogeneration 4rdquo) The key performance parameters (KPI) are suitable for electric 22

mobility (EV) Main challenges are indeed manufacturability particularly for ceramic solid state 23

electrolytes which promise to yield the highest advantages over state of the art technologies 24

The market introduction in niche applications is expected possible prior to the use in 25

automotive applications First all-solid-state batteries might not be competitive in terms of 26

energy density but safety properties Later on energy densities of 350-400 Whkg and higher 27

are expected 28

Other technologies (not marked in blue in the above figure) feature certain USPs compared to 4

Li-ion batteries but (according to the current level of knowledge) do not reach the necessary 5

KPIs in terms of energy density power density and cycling stability necessary for electric 6

mobility (these are marked in grey) USPs of these technologies can be cost resource 7

availability either volumetric or gravimetric energy density or others But often even 8

fundamental challenges are not solved yet (eg concerning the stability of materials and 9

electrochemical systems kinetics etc) 10

24 Consumer expenditure base data 2

241 General objective of subtask 24 and approach 3

Subtask 24 gives an overview about average production costs and consumer prices incl 4

VAT (for consumer prices streetprice) excl VAT (for B2B products) as well as an estimation 5

of repair and maintenance as well as installation and disposal costs 6

Due to their recent larger scale market introduction there is still little experience with 7

maintenance as well as disposal expenses Hence only estimations can be made based on 8

isolated sources 9

242 Development of LIB cell costs 10

As the core of LIB based energy storage systems the battery cell exhibits the highest cost 11

share During the last years particularly standardized 18650 format LIB cells have 12

experienced a steep cost learning curve benefiting from production scale effects but also 13

from technological advancements on material level increasing the energy density per volume 14

and weight and decreasing the amount of cost intense Cobalt-based components Compared 15

to this benchmark larger format LIB cells (Pouch prismatic) as are utilized in xEVs and ESS 16

predominantly feature lower energy densities at higher cost per kWh There are however no 17

principal limitations which would prevent a performance and cost development similar to what 18

was observed for cylindrical cells Figure 39 shows the cost learning curves for cylindrical as 19

well as larger format LIB cells [33] Today average costs for cells suitable for automotive use 20

are below 150 eurokWh (cylindrical) and around 200 eurokWh (Pouchprismatic) In specific cases 21

prices around 100 eurokWh have been reported already [53] It should however be noted that 22

with the current market situation LIB prices being below costs are not unlikely to occur 23

Until 2025 production costs of the different cell formats are expected to approach and fall 24

below the mark of 100 eurokWh between 2020 and 2025 Taking further developments on 25

material level into account costs around 60-100 eurokWh seam feasible past 2025 26

Figure 39 Cost learning curves for large LIB cells (cylindrical and Pouchprismatic) [33] 3

Similar cost learning curves have been observed for other battery technologies (see Figure 4

40) In principal cost degression can be limited by demand (compare NiCd) or by reaching 5

material cost limits (compare Pb) Also the diffusion of battery technologies in new markets 6

or applications can lead to further technological improvements and justify higher production 7

costs (compare deviation of NiMH Pb) Following the available data for LIB cells approx 100 8

$kWh (~89 eurokWh) are reached at a cumulative yearly production of 1TWh This mark is 9

expected to be reached between 2020 and 2030 10

Beyond 2030 LIB production costs are however expected to start deviating from this curve 11

due to limiting raw material prices 12

2432 ESS 7

According to recent end-customer price data provided in [55] for 2018 typical consumer prices 8

for small scale (~10 kWh) stationary home storage systems are between 5000 and 15000 9

Euros leading to a relative price of 800 to 1200 eurokWh It is expected that these system prices 10

will benefit from the growing battery markets (also xEV) since similar LIB cell types can be 11

applied in both application areas With respect to inverters and other system related costs the 12

smaller market volume of home ESS indicates lower economy of scale effects as compared 13

to cells 14

244 Installation repair and maintenance costs 15

2441 xEV 16

So far no comprehensive information on repair and maintenance costs for the battery system 17

of xEVs are available Due to still rather accommodating service policies repair or 18

replacement of batteries is so far often covered by the manufacturer 19

Will be added in a later review 5

2451 Second life and recycling considerations 6

Until today only pilot projects Strategy of automotive OEM regarding second life applications 7

is not known 8

Value of recycled materials can be estimated 9

Three main scenarios possible after end of 1st life (xEV) 10

1 Disposal of batteries (eg separation of liquid and solid components hazardous waste 11

disposal) 12

2 Recycling of batteries and direct regeneration and re-use of cathode materials (2a) or 13

recovery of metals (2b) 14

3 2nd life in ESS applications under limited load (low DOD cycling low power) 15

16

Scenario 1 will add another component to battery costs scenario 2 and 3 could significantly 17

decrease the cost of batteries if energy efficient recycling methods can be developed or viable 18

2nd life business models are established 19

26 Annex 1

2611 Modelling of addressable markets for electric applications 2

Vehicle markets (in units of registrations in the EU28 per year) and ESS markets (in units of 3

number of installed home PV systems or in units of overall renewable (PV wind) electricity 4

generation in the EU28 per year) were modelled by exponential functions 5

119872119905119886119901119901(119905) = 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 6

With Mtapp(t) being the total market volume of an application M0 the market size in 2015 and 7

120591 times 119871119899(2) the time t necessary to double the initial market volume M0 M0 and Tau were chosen 8

to fit existing market data 9

119872119886119901119901(119905) = 119888 times 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 10

With Mapp(t) being the addressable market and c a factor equal or smaller than 1 Parameter 11

c lt 1 was chosen to take into account that not the whole existing market Mtapp might be 12

addressable by electric technologies Eg a share of vehicles primarily used for long distance 13

travel might not be addressable by BEV but by PHEV only 14

The market addressable for passenger PHEV (as a transition technology on the path to full 15

electric vehicles) was modelled as the difference of total vehicle sales and BEV sales 16

119872119875119867119864119881(119905) = 119888 times 119872119905119901119886119904119904119890119899119892119890119903(119905) minus 119878119861119864119881(119905) 17

The market addressable for passenger BEV was modelled like Mapp(t) with c lt 1 18

2612 Modelling of sales numbers of xEV and ESS 19

Yearly sales numbers Sapp(t) for the different applications were modelled by logistic growth 20

functions Logistic functions can model diffusion of technologies into existing markets with a 21

given market volume M The market volume can be a moving target M = M(t) The relative 22

change of sales numbers Srsquoapp(t)Sapp(t) is proportional to the market volume not yet 23

developed by a technology Mapp(t) ndash Sapp(t) 24

119878119886119901119901(119905) = 119872119886119901119901(119905) times1

1 + 119864119909119901(minus119872119886119901119901(119905) times (119905 minus 1199050)120591)(119872119886119901119901(119905)

119878119886119901119901(1199050)minus 1)

25

With Tau being a time constant and Sapp(t0) being the yearly sales number at year t0 (eg 26

2015) 27

Short time constants Tau of few years were used to model ESS sales Due to limitations of 28

the existing electricity grid to only buffer a certain share of fluctuating PV and wind generated 29

electricity the further expansion of renewable electricity generation might be strongly coupled 30

to ESS installations Hence ESS sales were modelled to closely follow the assumed 31

installations of renewable power in the limit of ldquovery fastrdquo market diffusion (120591 rarr 0) 32

2613 Modelling of battery system capacities 33

Battery capacities EBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws In 34

particular BEV battery capacities increased in the last years from 30 kWh in 2013 to more than 35

40 kWh in 2018 (EU sales and production averages) In the long term we expect BEV 36

capacities to converge towards a value sufficient to provide average driving ranges of some 37

100 km Battery capacity growth rates are hence supposed to slow down 38

119864119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198640 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 1

With E0 being the average battery capacity in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years and 2

b an exponent lt 1 The parameters were chosen to fit existing data 3

2614 Modelling of battery replacement rates 4

Battery replacement rates RrBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws 5

The replacement rate defines the share of batteries installed in year t that had to be replaced 6

within the lifetime of a system (xEV ESS) In particular for vehicles it is assumed that xEV 7

manufacturers currently install battery cells with a high lifetime and cyclability (several 8

thousand cycles) In the mid-term we expect that battery life and vehicle life (eg 200000 to 9

300000 km) will be matched by car manufacturers Assuming a constant vehicle lifetime 10

battery replacement rates are supposed to increase over time 11

119877119903119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198770 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 12

With R0 being the average replacement rate in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years 13

and b an exponent lt 1 At present there is no data available to fit the parameters Parameters 14

were estimated based on the usage profile and load of different applications 15

2615 Modelling of system lifetimes (xEV ESS) 16

System lifetimes Ltsystem(t) were assumed to be constant Ltsystem(t)= Ltsystem Parameters were 17

estimated based on manufacturer statements and typical lifetimes for combustion powered 18

vehicles 19

2616 Calculation of battery replacements 20

Battery replacements RpBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 21

calculated by assuming a uniform distribution of battery replacements over the lifetime 22

Ltsystem(i) of battery systems installed in year i 23

119877119901119861119886119905119905(119905) = sum119877119903119861119886119905119905(119894) times 119878119886119901119901(119894) times 119864119861119886119905119905(119894)

24

2617 Calculation of battery decommissions 25

Battery decommissions DcBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 26

assumed to happen coincident with the end of life of the systems (Ltsystem) they were installed 27

in in year i This neglects any second life usage in t gt i It was assumed that xEV or ESS 28

manufacturers will tune the battery lifetime to match the system lifetime (see 2614) 29

2618 Calculation of yearly installed battery capacity 31

The yearly installed battery capacity Sbapp(t) in the EU28 was calculated as 32

119878119887119886119901119901(119905) = 119878119886119901119901(119905) times 119864119886119901119901119861119886119905119905(119905) + 119877119901119886119901119901

224 Summary of the market sales forecast and estimation of the future 1

and past stock 2

As shown in sections 222 and 223 several drivers exist for the application of battery storage 3

systems in stationary and motive applications While the demand for battery capacity 4

generated by BEV and PHEV passenger cars was on the level of several GWh for 2017 the 5

ESS markets might still be below the 1 GWh mark in the EU 6

With respect to the increase of average battery capacity installed in different applications (see 7

Figure 22) and the growth rates for the sales of xEV and ESS (see sections 2223 and 8

2232) forecasts for the total new installations (including replacements) of batteries in the 9

EU28 are shown in Figure 23 See annex for further comments 10

11

Figure 22 Average system battery energy (kWh or MWh) forecast 12

It can be expected that the demand generated by sales and replacements in the EU28 will 13

amount to about 20 GWh by 2020 100 GWh by 2025 and more than 400 GWh by 2030 14

23 Market trends 3

231 General objective of subtask 23 and approach 4

The following chapter provides a comprehensive market overview on global battery sales 5

demand and players Starting with the market development of Lithium-ion batteries between 6

2010 to 2017 scenarios until 2025 to 2030 are presented including a meta-analysis of several 7

most recent market reports (eg [18ndash27]) Step by step the regional markets and markets by 8

applications will be specified 9

232 Market drivers and CO2 legislation [28] 10

Climate and energy policies are main drivers for the energy future and are expected to lead to 11

an increasing demand for energy storage in the mid and long term (see Figure 24) According 12

to the European Unionacutes decarbonization objective a reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) 13

emissions to 80 ndash 95 below 1990 levels should be achieved by 2050 14

In particular for the transport sector no full decarbonization is achieved [29] even in the longer 15

term (other sectors have to compensate with higher GHG reductions) The overall reduction 16

achieved in the transport sector by 2050 is only around 60 below 1990 levels The 17

increasing trend in emissions seen over the past 20 years is expected to reverse by the CO2 18

legislation From 2020 on the fleet average to be achieved by all new cars is 95 grams of CO2 19

per kilometer (compared to 130 gkm in 2015) 20

Many other governments world-wide have specified CO2 emission targets and are striving 21

towards a low carbon economy Particularly in the field of passenger and commercial vehicles 22

fuel consumption and emission targets have been installed which significantly drive the 23

introduction of battery or fuel cell powered electric vehicles Among these emission policies 24

the targets set by the EU are among the most ambitious (see Table 11) Meeting them will 25

require a significant share of electric vehicles 26

Table 11 Overview about fuel consumption and CO2-emission targets for passenger vehicles 1

of the EU and other countries leading battery and electric mobility markets [30] 2

In this context electric mobility is gaining importance since electric vehicles especially plug-3

in hybrid and pure battery electric vehicles can help to achieve or fulfill these limits due to 4

improved CO2 footprints compared to conventional cars However for low CO2 footprints over 5

the lifetime of electric cars a high share of ldquolow carbonrdquo renewable energy sources (RES) in 6

the energy mix is needed and important (Figure 24 left side) 7

8

Figure 24 Climate and energy policies as drivers for future energy storage demand [28] 9

The EU Energy Roadmap 2050 [31 32] has shown across six scenarios that the 10

decarbonization goal can be achieved if the share of renewable energy sources (RES) among 11

the power generation capacity is high (gt 60 until 2050) for all scenarios Especially for the 12

high RES scenario the share of fluctuating energy generation (wind photovoltaic ndash PV) is the 13

strongest which has to be balanced Grid expansion andor flexibilization measures (eg 14

demand side management power to gas and vehicle to grid besides stationary battery 15

storage) are potential solutions Thus the high RES scenario is the most interesting scenario 16

with respect to a potential future demand for energy storage solutions (ESS) on local 17

distribution and transmission grid levels (Figure 24 right side) In order to have a significant 18

GHG reduction with EVs it will also be important to achieve the RES targets 19

233 The developing battery market 1

The total annual battery market is currently on the level of 45-60 billion Euro representing 2

approximately 400-500 GWh (including Lead-acid Lithium-Ion and other batteries) [33] 3

Lithium-ion batteries (LIB) have succeeded because of their high gravimetric and volumetric 4

energy densities and have a market share of about a third in terms of value among the whole 5

battery market The growth is driven by the decreasing cell costs of less than 170 eurokWh for a 6

standard cylindrical cell (lowest prices) approaching the 90 eurokWh mark in the next years This 7

cost degression is due to increasing capacity demand and production and thus due to scale 8

effects 9

Although the LIB market is drastically growing with annual growth rates of up to 30 percent 10

on average (in terms of battery capacity demand) the dominating battery technology in terms 11

of capacity however are still lead-acid batteries representing about 90 percent of the global 12

demand in volume around 2010 and 80 percent in 2017 13

14

15

Figure 25 Historical development of the global battery demand in GWh (left axis for NiCd 16

NiMH right axis for all other battery types grey total battery demand) [34] 17

Other mature battery technologies like NiCd (still partly used in power tools) and NiMH (still 18

used in hybrid electric vehicles HEV) are slowly declining and are expected to disappear from 19

the market in the next decade The diversification of future battery applications however will 20

also broaden the range of battery technologies Emerging technologies like Na-based Metal-21

Sulfur or Redox Flow batteries are developing and may lead to attractive solutions eg with 22

respect to cost and resource availability advantages However due to very strict requirements 23

on volumetric energy densities these technologies are expected to be relevant for stationary 24

or other special markets and less for the most significant electric vehicle market In general 25

each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses and none of them can satisfy all user 26

demands Hence a broader application-specific technology portfolio is urgently needed in 27

order to provide alternative technology solutions in the future 28

The extremely dynamic development of the global LIB demand will lead to the TWh level latest 29

around 2030 and grow further after 2030 Thus LIB will very soon transform into the 30

dominating energy storage technology 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

34

Figure 26 shows three different scenarios for the global demand for LIB between 2010 and 1

2030 (green curves) along with global production capacities (orange and blue curve)[33] 2

While at the beginning of the decade the demand and sales numbers followed the medium 3

growth rate trend scenario the market has been approaching the high growth rate scenario in 4

the last years This is mainly due to the strong engagement of politics and respective 5

regulation and subsidy programs for electric mobility As can be seen from the graph the 6

share of demand generated by motive applications is expected to significantly grow in the next 7

years and might account for more than one third of the total LIB demand by 2025 8

To face this increasing demand for LIB cells accordingly production capacities need to be 9

build up in the near future Based on the currently existing cell production capacities and the 10

global announcements from established and new cell producers until 2025 the LIB cell 11

production capacities (blue line in 12

Figure 26) have been identified Compared to 15 GWh added production capacity between 13

2013 and 2016 in the next years around 50 GWh will be added annually leading to around 14

700 GWh production capacities until 2025 (in the optimistic case see blue line in 15

Figure 26) The announcements include established players such as Panasonic (JP) LG 16

Chem (KR) Samsung (KR) SKI (KR) BYD (CN) Lishen (CN) CATL (CN) CALB (CN) 17

OPTIMUM (CN) and several further Chinese cell producers Also new players such as TerraE 18

(DE) Northvolt (SW) Boston Energy (US AU) Energy Absolute (Thailand) are included 19

while accounting for the different stages of expansion [20 27] 20

21

234 Battery markets by application 23

Diversification of applications for batteries 24

The above described global developments of battery demand and production strongly concern 25

high-energy lithium-ion batteries with the cell chemistries NMC NCA (Ni-rich and Co-reduced 26

cathodes) and SiC (high capacity SiC anodes with 5-10 or higher Si content) and cell 27

formats cylindrical (eg larger 21700 compared to standard 18650) large pouch or prismatic 28

cells The target is to develop and produce cells with improved gravimetric and volumetric 29

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

35

energy densities and reduced costs in order to meet the requirements of the automotive 1

industry Electric passenger cars are driving the demand and thus development of the battery 2

technology and these optimized and cost reduced batteries define the benchmark today and 3

in the future 4

LIB demand by applications 5

In Figure 27 the global LIB demand is broken down to the three main sectors for battery 6

demand which can be characterised each having different profiles of requirement 7

bull electric mobility or electric vehicles (EV including eg passenger cars light 8

commercial vehicles buses trucks scooters ebikes etc) 9

bull stationary energy storage systems (ESS) and 10

bull portable devices (3C ndash Computer Communication Consumer) 11

The LIB cell demand developed to almost 25 GWh in 2010 since the market introduction in 12

the early 1990s and dominantly resulted from portable devices In 2015 the cell demand of 13

about 70 GWh was distributed already almost 5050 between 3C and EV applications 14

15

Figure 27 Global LIB demand (in GWh and share in ) by segment [34] 16

Since 2015 the global LIB demand has increased with compound annual growth rates 17

(CAGR) of ~25 from about 70 GWh to about 110 GWh in 2017 The market for electric 18

vehicles currently grows with 30-40 (and more depending on the application and region) and 19

a diversification in applications (eg buses trucks other light to heavy commercial vehicles 20

marine applications drones etc) can be observed 21

With the diversification of future markets and applications cost sensitive markets will arise for 22

which optimized high-energy and cost reduced automotive cells of certain cell formats will be 23

used However also applications with stronger requirements on long lifetime high cycleability 24

fast charging capability safety etc will emerge and diffuse where cost is not the most 25

relevant factor and other battery technologies (ie cell chemistries formats) can provide a 26

unique selling proposition and hence lead to a product differentiation 27

2341 LIB markets for 3C applications 28

Portable devices (3C) have been the main applications for LIB cells in the past Power tools 29

medical devices and wearables are expected to be products with an emerging future market 30

for small LIB cells but with enormous quantities The price per kWh that can be stored plays a 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

36

less important role for these applications As far as charging is concerned technologies such 1

as energy harvesting and wireless charging are expected to be introduced in the future For 2

many markets and products such as household devices garden cleaning power tools other 3

mobile leisure applications etc today mostly cylindrical LIB cells of the format 18650 are used 4

With the introduction of 21700 cells also larger cylindrical cells become available now and are 5

expected to be used in diffuse in such applications Although different specific cell chemistries 6

might be suitable depending on the concrete application again it can be stated that the 3C 7

segment is expected to lead to a comparably small battery capacity demand compared to the 8

EV segment and will not be the limiting segment with respect to the risk of resource 9

dependencies 10

In the next few years growth rates of about 5 to 10 percent are expected for the 3C markets 11

while laptop battery demand is developing at lower growth rates and power tools medical 12

devices etc are supporting the growth rates for the battery demand 13

14

15

Figure 28 Demand and growth of the 3C LIB market [34] 16

2342 LIB markets for stationary (ESS) applications 17

Stationary energy storage systems (ESS) can be divided into different size classes with regard 18

to the capacity and charging times Both together decide on the application area (eg small 19

PV storage at home peak load to long-term storage) [35] Beyond that the price per kWh put 20

through over the lifetime is the economic key factor (as synthesized by the LCOE levelized 21

cost of energy) In contrast gravimetric and volumetric energy density plays a subordinate 22

role Due to that lead-acid batteries were often used as storage technology for off- and on-23

grid storage Currently LIBs are being established for commercial use and meanwhile reach 24

an annual demand of some few GWh Other electrochemical storage technologies such as 25

sodium-sulfur batteries are still used but the demand for LIB is strongly increasing for ESS It 26

is expected that 2nd life concepts for batteries that had their first life in electric vehicles will 27

gain importance together with market diffusion in the EV segment as the requirements on the 28

batteries are less demanding in the ESS segment This however will require the development 29

of according business models standardization etc The much broader available technology 30

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

37

portfolio for ESS applications the use of 2nd life batteries and the fact that electric vehicle 1

batteries that are connected to the grid on a large scale with higher market diffusion can be 2

regarded as stationary storage systems as well (vehicle to grid V2G grid to vehicle G2V) help 3

to reduce the risk of technological and resource dependencies in the future 4

The market for stationary storage applications (ESS) is experiencing growth rates of 20 to 30 5

percent depending on individual market forecasts (in the last years CAGR have even been on 6

the level of 60 but decrease with increasing size of the market see Figure 29) 7

The market is currently on a level of few GWh including applications from smaller PV storage 8

systems of 5-10 kWh to larger industrial and grid connected installations for own power 9

consumption peak shaving etc on the MWh level Regarding these growth rates LIB for ESS 10

applications rapidly gain importance as de-central storage solutions compared to the currently 11

dominating central pumped hydro storage (PHS) Forecasts to 2025 differ by size and expect 12

an ESS LIB demand between 20-50 GWh (partially higher eg in [23]) but all forecasts identify 13

high growth rates 14

15

Figure 29 Demand and growth of the ESS LIB market [34] 16

17

2343 LIB markets for electric vehicle applications 18

One of the biggest challenges for batteries for electric vehicles (EV including electric cars 19

buses trucks etc) apart from their price is the increase of their volumetric and gravimetric 20

energy density The volumetric energy density is even more important for OEM due to 21

restricted and fixed space and location of the battery in an electric vehicle A very relevant 22

parameter of a battery is its charging and discharging power in particular in continuous 23

operation It determines the fast-charging capability which is an important argument in the 24

use and the establishment on the market At the same time this sets limits to the high-25

performance operation since energy consumption is reduced to protect the battery from 26

damage This illustrates the conflicting effect of different parameters on the battery lifetime 27

Price volume weight and thus charge density as well as chargedischarge rate in terms of 28

usage and durability are the most urgent challenges for battery manufacturers 29

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

38

The market for EV batteries is currently at the level of about 50 GWh (including electric 1

passenger cars busses trucks ebikes scooter forklifts etc) Growth rates are at 20 to 40 2

percent and the demand for EV batteries will lead to a share of about 66 percent in 2020 76 3

percent until 2025 and 80 percent or higher in the long term Electric passenger cars (BEV 4

and PHEV) define the by far largest market within the EV segment and are clearly driving the 5

technology development of high energy Lithium-Ion or Lithium-based batteries in the future 6

7

Figure 30 Demand and growth of the EV LIB market [34] 8

9

Other motive (or stationary or portable) markets applications besides the highly competitive 10

electric passenger cars therefore can offer interesting growth markets also for smaller cell 11

producers beyond the large Japanese Korean and Chinese cell producers These markets or 12

applications very often define concrete requirements for the battery performance they require 13

an in depth understanding and design from the cell chemistry format to the modulepack and 14

system integration and they still vary strongly by region and are connected to individual system 15

integrators or OEM This is because each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses 16

and none of them can satisfy all userapplication demands Hence a broader application 17

specific technology portfolio is even urgently needed in order to provide alternative individual 18

technology solutions for these emerging marketsapplications 19

20

235 Market channels and production structure 21

2351 Global production capacities and major players 22

Since their commercialization in the 1990s LIB have been predominantly produced by 23

Japanese and Korean companies Driven by the Chinese government particularly cell 24

producers but also companies covering other steps of the LIB value creation chain have been 25

established in China Due to a policy of simultaneous support for LIB production as well as for 26

application markets and due to an extensive subsidy scheme a large share of LIB production 27

capacities is located in China today 28

Figure 31 Figure 32 Figure 33 and Figure 34 show the global LIB production capacities of 29

major cell producers in 2018 as well as forecasts for 2020 2025 and 2030 respectively [36] 30

The data is based on announcements made by the cell producers As discussed in section 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

39

233 the actual time-frame for the implementation of the capacity expansions is often delayed 1

with respect to the original announcements Hence minimum and maximum values for the 2

production capacities are given 3

Figure 34 Global LIB production capacities of major cell producers in 2030 [36] 2

Until 2030 the announced production capacities add up to more than 1 TWh In total there 3

are about 30 cell producers which have announced to build up production capacities of more 4

than 10 GWhyear which can be considered to be a threshold in order to be able to produce 5

at competitve costs [36] If the announced capacities are fully utilized the ldquobig 4rdquo (Panasonic 6

CATL LGC and BYD) will be able to fully cover the market demand (gt550 GWh) until 2025 7

2352 Europes position in the global battery value chain 8

In the EU several actors are positioned which cover production steps along the whole value 9

chain of LIBs starting from raw material production to production of cells and systems and 10

finally recycling However with respect to global markets only few organizations within the EU 11

have a market share of more than 1 in their specific segment eg BASF Germany in the 12

field of electrolyte production [30] 13

An overview about existing and active companies is given by the European Battery Alliance 14

(see Figure 35) Due to the presence of strong automotive OEM LIB pack manufacturing and 15

system integration is taking place on large scale in Europe A particular gap in the value chain 16

is present due to the lack of a large-scale cell production capable of serving the volumes and 17

prices required by the automotive industry 18

Several consortia are currently attempting to build up a European large scale cell 4

manufacturing such as Nothvolt (Sweden) with 32 GWh until 2023 or Saft (together with 5

Siemens and Manz) [39] Recently the German government announced plans for funding of 6

a Batterie-Cell-Alliance between Germany and Poland with cell production capacities in the 7

Regions Lausitz (Germany) and Westpoland [40 41] At the cross section between RampD and 8

large-scale production also a Research Production with 600 Mio EUR funding is foreseen 9

whereas the Fraunhofer Society should coordinate and run such a research production [42] 10

The announced funding from the German government sums up to 2 bn EUR 11

Given all these announced investments and production capacities to build up in the next years 12

the cell production capacities of European cell manufacturers could sum up to over 40 GWh 13

beyond 2025 In contrast main Asian cell manufacturer have already started with cell 14

production (eg LG SDI) or plan to build up production capacities until 2020 to 2025 In 15

concrete there are plans from [43ndash51] 16

17

bull CATL (China) to build 14 GWh in Germany Erfurt beyond 2020 18

bull LG Chem (Japan) to build 15 to 24 GWh (for 03 Mio EVs) in Poland beyond 2020 19

bull Samsung SDI (Japan) to build 10 to 15 GWh beyond 2020 in Hungary (including a 20

recent 5 GWh announcement for 21700 cells for Land Rover 21

bull SK Innovation (Japan) to build 75 GWh in Hungary beyond 2020 22

bull PanasonicTesla to build a (assumed 35GWh) Gigafactory in Europa around 2025 23

bull as well as from BYD (China) GS Yuasa (Japan) and Farasis (US) to build production 24

capacities between 2020 and 2025 25

26

The production capacities from Asian (or non-European) cell manufacturer might sum up to 27

well above 82-96 GWh by 2025 and including BYD GS Yuasa Farasis etc capacities far 28

above 100 GWh can be expected Together with the new EU cell producers this could easily 29

sum up towards the above mentioned 200 GWh demand in Europe But it also clearly indicates 30

44

the competition the emerging European players have to face (besides the fact that the plans 1

of the Asian companies are expected to be realized already several years earlier as those of 2

the novel EU companies) 3

2353 Product design trends and technological roadmap 4

Concerning the battery technology or type (by chemistry format etc) which will most likely 5

be produced to address this increasing demand the global roadmaps of cell producers are 6

basically similar Based on state-of-the art cell design (eg LFP NCA based ldquogeneration 1rdquo 7

and NMC111 to NMC532 ldquogeneration 2abrdquo Li-ion batteries) [52] and state-of-the-art 8

production equipment incremental improvements are expected in the next few years but with 9

the target to get to higher-energy lithium-ion batteries Concerning the electrolytes still liquid 10

electrolytes will be used but adopted to the changing electrode materials (eg with additives) 11

Current trends for layered oxide cathodes describe the development of Ni-rich (Co reduced) 12

materials (NMC) A few cell producers are already using NMC811 or comparable cathode 13

materials others are still adopting NMC622 (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3ardquo) On cathode 14

side maybe even lower-cost Mn-rich High Energy NMCs (HE-NMC) might be realized and 15

produced within ~10 years as Mn is cheaper than Ni (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3brdquo) On 16

anode side the trend is to incorporate Si-nano particles to make use of the alloying reaction 17

between Si and Li yielding a high capacitance This however comes at the cost of cycle life 18

Further down the road we might see higher Si contents (~20) 19

20

All-solid-state batteries are on the roadmap of many battery producers but also OEM (also 21

referred to as ldquogeneration 4rdquo) The key performance parameters (KPI) are suitable for electric 22

mobility (EV) Main challenges are indeed manufacturability particularly for ceramic solid state 23

electrolytes which promise to yield the highest advantages over state of the art technologies 24

The market introduction in niche applications is expected possible prior to the use in 25

automotive applications First all-solid-state batteries might not be competitive in terms of 26

energy density but safety properties Later on energy densities of 350-400 Whkg and higher 27

are expected 28

Other technologies (not marked in blue in the above figure) feature certain USPs compared to 4

Li-ion batteries but (according to the current level of knowledge) do not reach the necessary 5

KPIs in terms of energy density power density and cycling stability necessary for electric 6

mobility (these are marked in grey) USPs of these technologies can be cost resource 7

availability either volumetric or gravimetric energy density or others But often even 8

fundamental challenges are not solved yet (eg concerning the stability of materials and 9

electrochemical systems kinetics etc) 10

24 Consumer expenditure base data 2

241 General objective of subtask 24 and approach 3

Subtask 24 gives an overview about average production costs and consumer prices incl 4

VAT (for consumer prices streetprice) excl VAT (for B2B products) as well as an estimation 5

of repair and maintenance as well as installation and disposal costs 6

Due to their recent larger scale market introduction there is still little experience with 7

maintenance as well as disposal expenses Hence only estimations can be made based on 8

isolated sources 9

242 Development of LIB cell costs 10

As the core of LIB based energy storage systems the battery cell exhibits the highest cost 11

share During the last years particularly standardized 18650 format LIB cells have 12

experienced a steep cost learning curve benefiting from production scale effects but also 13

from technological advancements on material level increasing the energy density per volume 14

and weight and decreasing the amount of cost intense Cobalt-based components Compared 15

to this benchmark larger format LIB cells (Pouch prismatic) as are utilized in xEVs and ESS 16

predominantly feature lower energy densities at higher cost per kWh There are however no 17

principal limitations which would prevent a performance and cost development similar to what 18

was observed for cylindrical cells Figure 39 shows the cost learning curves for cylindrical as 19

well as larger format LIB cells [33] Today average costs for cells suitable for automotive use 20

are below 150 eurokWh (cylindrical) and around 200 eurokWh (Pouchprismatic) In specific cases 21

prices around 100 eurokWh have been reported already [53] It should however be noted that 22

with the current market situation LIB prices being below costs are not unlikely to occur 23

Until 2025 production costs of the different cell formats are expected to approach and fall 24

below the mark of 100 eurokWh between 2020 and 2025 Taking further developments on 25

material level into account costs around 60-100 eurokWh seam feasible past 2025 26

Figure 39 Cost learning curves for large LIB cells (cylindrical and Pouchprismatic) [33] 3

Similar cost learning curves have been observed for other battery technologies (see Figure 4

40) In principal cost degression can be limited by demand (compare NiCd) or by reaching 5

material cost limits (compare Pb) Also the diffusion of battery technologies in new markets 6

or applications can lead to further technological improvements and justify higher production 7

costs (compare deviation of NiMH Pb) Following the available data for LIB cells approx 100 8

$kWh (~89 eurokWh) are reached at a cumulative yearly production of 1TWh This mark is 9

expected to be reached between 2020 and 2030 10

Beyond 2030 LIB production costs are however expected to start deviating from this curve 11

due to limiting raw material prices 12

2432 ESS 7

According to recent end-customer price data provided in [55] for 2018 typical consumer prices 8

for small scale (~10 kWh) stationary home storage systems are between 5000 and 15000 9

Euros leading to a relative price of 800 to 1200 eurokWh It is expected that these system prices 10

will benefit from the growing battery markets (also xEV) since similar LIB cell types can be 11

applied in both application areas With respect to inverters and other system related costs the 12

smaller market volume of home ESS indicates lower economy of scale effects as compared 13

to cells 14

244 Installation repair and maintenance costs 15

2441 xEV 16

So far no comprehensive information on repair and maintenance costs for the battery system 17

of xEVs are available Due to still rather accommodating service policies repair or 18

2451 Second life and recycling considerations 6

Until today only pilot projects Strategy of automotive OEM regarding second life applications 7

is not known 8

Value of recycled materials can be estimated 9

Three main scenarios possible after end of 1st life (xEV) 10

1 Disposal of batteries (eg separation of liquid and solid components hazardous waste 11

disposal) 12

2 Recycling of batteries and direct regeneration and re-use of cathode materials (2a) or 13

recovery of metals (2b) 14

3 2nd life in ESS applications under limited load (low DOD cycling low power) 15

16

Scenario 1 will add another component to battery costs scenario 2 and 3 could significantly 17

decrease the cost of batteries if energy efficient recycling methods can be developed or viable 18

2nd life business models are established 19

26 Annex 1

2611 Modelling of addressable markets for electric applications 2

Vehicle markets (in units of registrations in the EU28 per year) and ESS markets (in units of 3

number of installed home PV systems or in units of overall renewable (PV wind) electricity 4

generation in the EU28 per year) were modelled by exponential functions 5

119872119905119886119901119901(119905) = 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 6

With Mtapp(t) being the total market volume of an application M0 the market size in 2015 and 7

120591 times 119871119899(2) the time t necessary to double the initial market volume M0 M0 and Tau were chosen 8

to fit existing market data 9

119872119886119901119901(119905) = 119888 times 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 10

With Mapp(t) being the addressable market and c a factor equal or smaller than 1 Parameter 11

c lt 1 was chosen to take into account that not the whole existing market Mtapp might be 12

addressable by electric technologies Eg a share of vehicles primarily used for long distance 13

travel might not be addressable by BEV but by PHEV only 14

The market addressable for passenger PHEV (as a transition technology on the path to full 15

electric vehicles) was modelled as the difference of total vehicle sales and BEV sales 16

119872119875119867119864119881(119905) = 119888 times 119872119905119901119886119904119904119890119899119892119890119903(119905) minus 119878119861119864119881(119905) 17

The market addressable for passenger BEV was modelled like Mapp(t) with c lt 1 18

2612 Modelling of sales numbers of xEV and ESS 19

Yearly sales numbers Sapp(t) for the different applications were modelled by logistic growth 20

functions Logistic functions can model diffusion of technologies into existing markets with a 21

given market volume M The market volume can be a moving target M = M(t) The relative 22

change of sales numbers Srsquoapp(t)Sapp(t) is proportional to the market volume not yet 23

developed by a technology Mapp(t) ndash Sapp(t) 24

119878119886119901119901(119905) = 119872119886119901119901(119905) times1

1 + 119864119909119901(minus119872119886119901119901(119905) times (119905 minus 1199050)120591)(119872119886119901119901(119905)

119878119886119901119901(1199050)minus 1)

25

With Tau being a time constant and Sapp(t0) being the yearly sales number at year t0 (eg 26

2015) 27

Short time constants Tau of few years were used to model ESS sales Due to limitations of 28

the existing electricity grid to only buffer a certain share of fluctuating PV and wind generated 29

electricity the further expansion of renewable electricity generation might be strongly coupled 30

to ESS installations Hence ESS sales were modelled to closely follow the assumed 31

installations of renewable power in the limit of ldquovery fastrdquo market diffusion (120591 rarr 0) 32

2613 Modelling of battery system capacities 33

Battery capacities EBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws In 34

particular BEV battery capacities increased in the last years from 30 kWh in 2013 to more than 35

40 kWh in 2018 (EU sales and production averages) In the long term we expect BEV 36

capacities to converge towards a value sufficient to provide average driving ranges of some 37

100 km Battery capacity growth rates are hence supposed to slow down 38

119864119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198640 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 1

With E0 being the average battery capacity in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years and 2

b an exponent lt 1 The parameters were chosen to fit existing data 3

2614 Modelling of battery replacement rates 4

Battery replacement rates RrBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws 5

The replacement rate defines the share of batteries installed in year t that had to be replaced 6

within the lifetime of a system (xEV ESS) In particular for vehicles it is assumed that xEV 7

manufacturers currently install battery cells with a high lifetime and cyclability (several 8

thousand cycles) In the mid-term we expect that battery life and vehicle life (eg 200000 to 9

300000 km) will be matched by car manufacturers Assuming a constant vehicle lifetime 10

battery replacement rates are supposed to increase over time 11

119877119903119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198770 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 12

With R0 being the average replacement rate in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years 13

and b an exponent lt 1 At present there is no data available to fit the parameters Parameters 14

were estimated based on the usage profile and load of different applications 15

2615 Modelling of system lifetimes (xEV ESS) 16

System lifetimes Ltsystem(t) were assumed to be constant Ltsystem(t)= Ltsystem Parameters were 17

estimated based on manufacturer statements and typical lifetimes for combustion powered 18

vehicles 19

2616 Calculation of battery replacements 20

Battery replacements RpBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 21

calculated by assuming a uniform distribution of battery replacements over the lifetime 22

Ltsystem(i) of battery systems installed in year i 23

119877119901119861119886119905119905(119905) = sum119877119903119861119886119905119905(119894) times 119878119886119901119901(119894) times 119864119861119886119905119905(119894)

24

2617 Calculation of battery decommissions 25

Battery decommissions DcBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 26

assumed to happen coincident with the end of life of the systems (Ltsystem) they were installed 27

in in year i This neglects any second life usage in t gt i It was assumed that xEV or ESS 28

manufacturers will tune the battery lifetime to match the system lifetime (see 2614) 29

2618 Calculation of yearly installed battery capacity 31

The yearly installed battery capacity Sbapp(t) in the EU28 was calculated as 32

119878119887119886119901119901(119905) = 119878119886119901119901(119905) times 119864119886119901119901119861119886119905119905(119905) + 119877119901119886119901119901

224 Summary of the market sales forecast and estimation of the future 1

and past stock 2

As shown in sections 222 and 223 several drivers exist for the application of battery storage 3

systems in stationary and motive applications While the demand for battery capacity 4

generated by BEV and PHEV passenger cars was on the level of several GWh for 2017 the 5

ESS markets might still be below the 1 GWh mark in the EU 6

With respect to the increase of average battery capacity installed in different applications (see 7

Figure 22) and the growth rates for the sales of xEV and ESS (see sections 2223 and 8

2232) forecasts for the total new installations (including replacements) of batteries in the 9

EU28 are shown in Figure 23 See annex for further comments 10

11

23 Market trends 3

231 General objective of subtask 23 and approach 4

The following chapter provides a comprehensive market overview on global battery sales 5

demand and players Starting with the market development of Lithium-ion batteries between 6

2010 to 2017 scenarios until 2025 to 2030 are presented including a meta-analysis of several 7

most recent market reports (eg [18ndash27]) Step by step the regional markets and markets by 8

applications will be specified 9

232 Market drivers and CO2 legislation [28] 10

Climate and energy policies are main drivers for the energy future and are expected to lead to 11

an increasing demand for energy storage in the mid and long term (see Figure 24) According 12

to the European Unionacutes decarbonization objective a reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) 13

emissions to 80 ndash 95 below 1990 levels should be achieved by 2050 14

In particular for the transport sector no full decarbonization is achieved [29] even in the longer 15

term (other sectors have to compensate with higher GHG reductions) The overall reduction 16

achieved in the transport sector by 2050 is only around 60 below 1990 levels The 17

increasing trend in emissions seen over the past 20 years is expected to reverse by the CO2 18

legislation From 2020 on the fleet average to be achieved by all new cars is 95 grams of CO2 19

per kilometer (compared to 130 gkm in 2015) 20

Many other governments world-wide have specified CO2 emission targets and are striving 21

towards a low carbon economy Particularly in the field of passenger and commercial vehicles 22

fuel consumption and emission targets have been installed which significantly drive the 23

introduction of battery or fuel cell powered electric vehicles Among these emission policies 24

the targets set by the EU are among the most ambitious (see Table 11) Meeting them will 25

require a significant share of electric vehicles 26

Table 11 Overview about fuel consumption and CO2-emission targets for passenger vehicles 1

of the EU and other countries leading battery and electric mobility markets [30] 2

In this context electric mobility is gaining importance since electric vehicles especially plug-3

in hybrid and pure battery electric vehicles can help to achieve or fulfill these limits due to 4

improved CO2 footprints compared to conventional cars However for low CO2 footprints over 5

the lifetime of electric cars a high share of ldquolow carbonrdquo renewable energy sources (RES) in 6

the energy mix is needed and important (Figure 24 left side) 7

8

Figure 24 Climate and energy policies as drivers for future energy storage demand [28] 9

The EU Energy Roadmap 2050 [31 32] has shown across six scenarios that the 10

decarbonization goal can be achieved if the share of renewable energy sources (RES) among 11

the power generation capacity is high (gt 60 until 2050) for all scenarios Especially for the 12

high RES scenario the share of fluctuating energy generation (wind photovoltaic ndash PV) is the 13

strongest which has to be balanced Grid expansion andor flexibilization measures (eg 14

demand side management power to gas and vehicle to grid besides stationary battery 15

storage) are potential solutions Thus the high RES scenario is the most interesting scenario 16

with respect to a potential future demand for energy storage solutions (ESS) on local 17

distribution and transmission grid levels (Figure 24 right side) In order to have a significant 18

GHG reduction with EVs it will also be important to achieve the RES targets 19

233 The developing battery market 1

The total annual battery market is currently on the level of 45-60 billion Euro representing 2

approximately 400-500 GWh (including Lead-acid Lithium-Ion and other batteries) [33] 3

Lithium-ion batteries (LIB) have succeeded because of their high gravimetric and volumetric 4

energy densities and have a market share of about a third in terms of value among the whole 5

battery market The growth is driven by the decreasing cell costs of less than 170 eurokWh for a 6

standard cylindrical cell (lowest prices) approaching the 90 eurokWh mark in the next years This 7

cost degression is due to increasing capacity demand and production and thus due to scale 8

effects 9

Although the LIB market is drastically growing with annual growth rates of up to 30 percent 10

on average (in terms of battery capacity demand) the dominating battery technology in terms 11

of capacity however are still lead-acid batteries representing about 90 percent of the global 12

demand in volume around 2010 and 80 percent in 2017 13

14

15

Figure 25 Historical development of the global battery demand in GWh (left axis for NiCd 16

NiMH right axis for all other battery types grey total battery demand) [34] 17

Other mature battery technologies like NiCd (still partly used in power tools) and NiMH (still 18

used in hybrid electric vehicles HEV) are slowly declining and are expected to disappear from 19

the market in the next decade The diversification of future battery applications however will 20

also broaden the range of battery technologies Emerging technologies like Na-based Metal-21

Sulfur or Redox Flow batteries are developing and may lead to attractive solutions eg with 22

respect to cost and resource availability advantages However due to very strict requirements 23

on volumetric energy densities these technologies are expected to be relevant for stationary 24

or other special markets and less for the most significant electric vehicle market In general 25

each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses and none of them can satisfy all user 26

demands Hence a broader application-specific technology portfolio is urgently needed in 27

order to provide alternative technology solutions in the future 28

The extremely dynamic development of the global LIB demand will lead to the TWh level latest 29

around 2030 and grow further after 2030 Thus LIB will very soon transform into the 30

dominating energy storage technology 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

34

Figure 26 shows three different scenarios for the global demand for LIB between 2010 and 1

2030 (green curves) along with global production capacities (orange and blue curve)[33] 2

While at the beginning of the decade the demand and sales numbers followed the medium 3

growth rate trend scenario the market has been approaching the high growth rate scenario in 4

the last years This is mainly due to the strong engagement of politics and respective 5

regulation and subsidy programs for electric mobility As can be seen from the graph the 6

share of demand generated by motive applications is expected to significantly grow in the next 7

years and might account for more than one third of the total LIB demand by 2025 8

To face this increasing demand for LIB cells accordingly production capacities need to be 9

build up in the near future Based on the currently existing cell production capacities and the 10

global announcements from established and new cell producers until 2025 the LIB cell 11

production capacities (blue line in 12

Figure 26) have been identified Compared to 15 GWh added production capacity between 13

2013 and 2016 in the next years around 50 GWh will be added annually leading to around 14

700 GWh production capacities until 2025 (in the optimistic case see blue line in 15

Figure 26) The announcements include established players such as Panasonic (JP) LG 16

Chem (KR) Samsung (KR) SKI (KR) BYD (CN) Lishen (CN) CATL (CN) CALB (CN) 17

OPTIMUM (CN) and several further Chinese cell producers Also new players such as TerraE 18

(DE) Northvolt (SW) Boston Energy (US AU) Energy Absolute (Thailand) are included 19

while accounting for the different stages of expansion [20 27] 20

21

234 Battery markets by application 23

Diversification of applications for batteries 24

The above described global developments of battery demand and production strongly concern 25

high-energy lithium-ion batteries with the cell chemistries NMC NCA (Ni-rich and Co-reduced 26

cathodes) and SiC (high capacity SiC anodes with 5-10 or higher Si content) and cell 27

formats cylindrical (eg larger 21700 compared to standard 18650) large pouch or prismatic 28

cells The target is to develop and produce cells with improved gravimetric and volumetric 29

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

35

energy densities and reduced costs in order to meet the requirements of the automotive 1

industry Electric passenger cars are driving the demand and thus development of the battery 2

technology and these optimized and cost reduced batteries define the benchmark today and 3

in the future 4

LIB demand by applications 5

In Figure 27 the global LIB demand is broken down to the three main sectors for battery 6

demand which can be characterised each having different profiles of requirement 7

bull electric mobility or electric vehicles (EV including eg passenger cars light 8

commercial vehicles buses trucks scooters ebikes etc) 9

bull stationary energy storage systems (ESS) and 10

bull portable devices (3C ndash Computer Communication Consumer) 11

The LIB cell demand developed to almost 25 GWh in 2010 since the market introduction in 12

the early 1990s and dominantly resulted from portable devices In 2015 the cell demand of 13

about 70 GWh was distributed already almost 5050 between 3C and EV applications 14

15

Figure 27 Global LIB demand (in GWh and share in ) by segment [34] 16

Since 2015 the global LIB demand has increased with compound annual growth rates 17

(CAGR) of ~25 from about 70 GWh to about 110 GWh in 2017 The market for electric 18

vehicles currently grows with 30-40 (and more depending on the application and region) and 19

a diversification in applications (eg buses trucks other light to heavy commercial vehicles 20

marine applications drones etc) can be observed 21

With the diversification of future markets and applications cost sensitive markets will arise for 22

which optimized high-energy and cost reduced automotive cells of certain cell formats will be 23

used However also applications with stronger requirements on long lifetime high cycleability 24

fast charging capability safety etc will emerge and diffuse where cost is not the most 25

relevant factor and other battery technologies (ie cell chemistries formats) can provide a 26

unique selling proposition and hence lead to a product differentiation 27

2341 LIB markets for 3C applications 28

Portable devices (3C) have been the main applications for LIB cells in the past Power tools 29

medical devices and wearables are expected to be products with an emerging future market 30

for small LIB cells but with enormous quantities The price per kWh that can be stored plays a 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

36

less important role for these applications As far as charging is concerned technologies such 1

as energy harvesting and wireless charging are expected to be introduced in the future For 2

many markets and products such as household devices garden cleaning power tools other 3

mobile leisure applications etc today mostly cylindrical LIB cells of the format 18650 are used 4

With the introduction of 21700 cells also larger cylindrical cells become available now and are 5

expected to be used in diffuse in such applications Although different specific cell chemistries 6

might be suitable depending on the concrete application again it can be stated that the 3C 7

segment is expected to lead to a comparably small battery capacity demand compared to the 8

EV segment and will not be the limiting segment with respect to the risk of resource 9

dependencies 10

In the next few years growth rates of about 5 to 10 percent are expected for the 3C markets 11

while laptop battery demand is developing at lower growth rates and power tools medical 12

devices etc are supporting the growth rates for the battery demand 13

14

15

Figure 28 Demand and growth of the 3C LIB market [34] 16

2342 LIB markets for stationary (ESS) applications 17

Stationary energy storage systems (ESS) can be divided into different size classes with regard 18

to the capacity and charging times Both together decide on the application area (eg small 19

PV storage at home peak load to long-term storage) [35] Beyond that the price per kWh put 20

through over the lifetime is the economic key factor (as synthesized by the LCOE levelized 21

cost of energy) In contrast gravimetric and volumetric energy density plays a subordinate 22

role Due to that lead-acid batteries were often used as storage technology for off- and on-23

grid storage Currently LIBs are being established for commercial use and meanwhile reach 24

an annual demand of some few GWh Other electrochemical storage technologies such as 25

sodium-sulfur batteries are still used but the demand for LIB is strongly increasing for ESS It 26

is expected that 2nd life concepts for batteries that had their first life in electric vehicles will 27

gain importance together with market diffusion in the EV segment as the requirements on the 28

batteries are less demanding in the ESS segment This however will require the development 29

of according business models standardization etc The much broader available technology 30

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

37

portfolio for ESS applications the use of 2nd life batteries and the fact that electric vehicle 1

batteries that are connected to the grid on a large scale with higher market diffusion can be 2

regarded as stationary storage systems as well (vehicle to grid V2G grid to vehicle G2V) help 3

to reduce the risk of technological and resource dependencies in the future 4

The market for stationary storage applications (ESS) is experiencing growth rates of 20 to 30 5

percent depending on individual market forecasts (in the last years CAGR have even been on 6

the level of 60 but decrease with increasing size of the market see Figure 29) 7

The market is currently on a level of few GWh including applications from smaller PV storage 8

systems of 5-10 kWh to larger industrial and grid connected installations for own power 9

consumption peak shaving etc on the MWh level Regarding these growth rates LIB for ESS 10

applications rapidly gain importance as de-central storage solutions compared to the currently 11

dominating central pumped hydro storage (PHS) Forecasts to 2025 differ by size and expect 12

an ESS LIB demand between 20-50 GWh (partially higher eg in [23]) but all forecasts identify 13

high growth rates 14

15

Figure 29 Demand and growth of the ESS LIB market [34] 16

17

2343 LIB markets for electric vehicle applications 18

One of the biggest challenges for batteries for electric vehicles (EV including electric cars 19

buses trucks etc) apart from their price is the increase of their volumetric and gravimetric 20

energy density The volumetric energy density is even more important for OEM due to 21

restricted and fixed space and location of the battery in an electric vehicle A very relevant 22

parameter of a battery is its charging and discharging power in particular in continuous 23

operation It determines the fast-charging capability which is an important argument in the 24

use and the establishment on the market At the same time this sets limits to the high-25

performance operation since energy consumption is reduced to protect the battery from 26

damage This illustrates the conflicting effect of different parameters on the battery lifetime 27

Price volume weight and thus charge density as well as chargedischarge rate in terms of 28

usage and durability are the most urgent challenges for battery manufacturers 29

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

38

The market for EV batteries is currently at the level of about 50 GWh (including electric 1

passenger cars busses trucks ebikes scooter forklifts etc) Growth rates are at 20 to 40 2

percent and the demand for EV batteries will lead to a share of about 66 percent in 2020 76 3

percent until 2025 and 80 percent or higher in the long term Electric passenger cars (BEV 4

and PHEV) define the by far largest market within the EV segment and are clearly driving the 5

technology development of high energy Lithium-Ion or Lithium-based batteries in the future 6

7

Figure 30 Demand and growth of the EV LIB market [34] 8

9

Other motive (or stationary or portable) markets applications besides the highly competitive 10

electric passenger cars therefore can offer interesting growth markets also for smaller cell 11

producers beyond the large Japanese Korean and Chinese cell producers These markets or 12

applications very often define concrete requirements for the battery performance they require 13

an in depth understanding and design from the cell chemistry format to the modulepack and 14

system integration and they still vary strongly by region and are connected to individual system 15

integrators or OEM This is because each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses 16

and none of them can satisfy all userapplication demands Hence a broader application 17

specific technology portfolio is even urgently needed in order to provide alternative individual 18

technology solutions for these emerging marketsapplications 19

20

235 Market channels and production structure 21

2351 Global production capacities and major players 22

Since their commercialization in the 1990s LIB have been predominantly produced by 23

Japanese and Korean companies Driven by the Chinese government particularly cell 24

producers but also companies covering other steps of the LIB value creation chain have been 25

established in China Due to a policy of simultaneous support for LIB production as well as for 26

application markets and due to an extensive subsidy scheme a large share of LIB production 27

capacities is located in China today 28

Figure 31 Figure 32 Figure 33 and Figure 34 show the global LIB production capacities of 29

major cell producers in 2018 as well as forecasts for 2020 2025 and 2030 respectively [36] 30

The data is based on announcements made by the cell producers As discussed in section 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

39

233 the actual time-frame for the implementation of the capacity expansions is often delayed 1

with respect to the original announcements Hence minimum and maximum values for the 2

production capacities are given 3

Figure 34 Global LIB production capacities of major cell producers in 2030 [36] 2

Until 2030 the announced production capacities add up to more than 1 TWh In total there 3

are about 30 cell producers which have announced to build up production capacities of more 4

than 10 GWhyear which can be considered to be a threshold in order to be able to produce 5

at competitve costs [36] If the announced capacities are fully utilized the ldquobig 4rdquo (Panasonic 6

CATL LGC and BYD) will be able to fully cover the market demand (gt550 GWh) until 2025 7

2352 Europes position in the global battery value chain 8

In the EU several actors are positioned which cover production steps along the whole value 9

chain of LIBs starting from raw material production to production of cells and systems and 10

finally recycling However with respect to global markets only few organizations within the EU 11

have a market share of more than 1 in their specific segment eg BASF Germany in the 12

field of electrolyte production [30] 13

An overview about existing and active companies is given by the European Battery Alliance 14

(see Figure 35) Due to the presence of strong automotive OEM LIB pack manufacturing and 15

system integration is taking place on large scale in Europe A particular gap in the value chain 16

is present due to the lack of a large-scale cell production capable of serving the volumes and 17

prices required by the automotive industry 18

a Batterie-Cell-Alliance between Germany and Poland with cell production capacities in the 7

Regions Lausitz (Germany) and Westpoland [40 41] At the cross section between RampD and 8

large-scale production also a Research Production with 600 Mio EUR funding is foreseen 9

whereas the Fraunhofer Society should coordinate and run such a research production [42] 10

The announced funding from the German government sums up to 2 bn EUR 11

Given all these announced investments and production capacities to build up in the next years 12

the cell production capacities of European cell manufacturers could sum up to over 40 GWh 13

beyond 2025 In contrast main Asian cell manufacturer have already started with cell 14

production (eg LG SDI) or plan to build up production capacities until 2020 to 2025 In 15

concrete there are plans from [43ndash51] 16

17

bull CATL (China) to build 14 GWh in Germany Erfurt beyond 2020 18

bull LG Chem (Japan) to build 15 to 24 GWh (for 03 Mio EVs) in Poland beyond 2020 19

bull Samsung SDI (Japan) to build 10 to 15 GWh beyond 2020 in Hungary (including a 20

recent 5 GWh announcement for 21700 cells for Land Rover 21

bull SK Innovation (Japan) to build 75 GWh in Hungary beyond 2020 22

bull PanasonicTesla to build a (assumed 35GWh) Gigafactory in Europa around 2025 23

bull as well as from BYD (China) GS Yuasa (Japan) and Farasis (US) to build production 24

capacities between 2020 and 2025 25

26

The production capacities from Asian (or non-European) cell manufacturer might sum up to 27

well above 82-96 GWh by 2025 and including BYD GS Yuasa Farasis etc capacities far 28

above 100 GWh can be expected Together with the new EU cell producers this could easily 29

sum up towards the above mentioned 200 GWh demand in Europe But it also clearly indicates 30

44

the competition the emerging European players have to face (besides the fact that the plans 1

of the Asian companies are expected to be realized already several years earlier as those of 2

the novel EU companies) 3

2353 Product design trends and technological roadmap 4

Concerning the battery technology or type (by chemistry format etc) which will most likely 5

be produced to address this increasing demand the global roadmaps of cell producers are 6

basically similar Based on state-of-the art cell design (eg LFP NCA based ldquogeneration 1rdquo 7

and NMC111 to NMC532 ldquogeneration 2abrdquo Li-ion batteries) [52] and state-of-the-art 8

production equipment incremental improvements are expected in the next few years but with 9

the target to get to higher-energy lithium-ion batteries Concerning the electrolytes still liquid 10

electrolytes will be used but adopted to the changing electrode materials (eg with additives) 11

Current trends for layered oxide cathodes describe the development of Ni-rich (Co reduced) 12

materials (NMC) A few cell producers are already using NMC811 or comparable cathode 13

materials others are still adopting NMC622 (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3ardquo) On cathode 14

side maybe even lower-cost Mn-rich High Energy NMCs (HE-NMC) might be realized and 15

produced within ~10 years as Mn is cheaper than Ni (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3brdquo) On 16

anode side the trend is to incorporate Si-nano particles to make use of the alloying reaction 17

between Si and Li yielding a high capacitance This however comes at the cost of cycle life 18

Further down the road we might see higher Si contents (~20) 19

20

All-solid-state batteries are on the roadmap of many battery producers but also OEM (also 21

referred to as ldquogeneration 4rdquo) The key performance parameters (KPI) are suitable for electric 22

mobility (EV) Main challenges are indeed manufacturability particularly for ceramic solid state 23

electrolytes which promise to yield the highest advantages over state of the art technologies 24

The market introduction in niche applications is expected possible prior to the use in 25

automotive applications First all-solid-state batteries might not be competitive in terms of 26

energy density but safety properties Later on energy densities of 350-400 Whkg and higher 27

are expected 28

Other technologies (not marked in blue in the above figure) feature certain USPs compared to 4

Li-ion batteries but (according to the current level of knowledge) do not reach the necessary 5

KPIs in terms of energy density power density and cycling stability necessary for electric 6

mobility (these are marked in grey) USPs of these technologies can be cost resource 7

availability either volumetric or gravimetric energy density or others But often even 8

fundamental challenges are not solved yet (eg concerning the stability of materials and 9

electrochemical systems kinetics etc) 10

24 Consumer expenditure base data 2

241 General objective of subtask 24 and approach 3

Subtask 24 gives an overview about average production costs and consumer prices incl 4

VAT (for consumer prices streetprice) excl VAT (for B2B products) as well as an estimation 5

of repair and maintenance as well as installation and disposal costs 6

Due to their recent larger scale market introduction there is still little experience with 7

maintenance as well as disposal expenses Hence only estimations can be made based on 8

isolated sources 9

242 Development of LIB cell costs 10

As the core of LIB based energy storage systems the battery cell exhibits the highest cost 11

share During the last years particularly standardized 18650 format LIB cells have 12

experienced a steep cost learning curve benefiting from production scale effects but also 13

from technological advancements on material level increasing the energy density per volume 14

and weight and decreasing the amount of cost intense Cobalt-based components Compared 15

to this benchmark larger format LIB cells (Pouch prismatic) as are utilized in xEVs and ESS 16

predominantly feature lower energy densities at higher cost per kWh There are however no 17

principal limitations which would prevent a performance and cost development similar to what 18

was observed for cylindrical cells Figure 39 shows the cost learning curves for cylindrical as 19

well as larger format LIB cells [33] Today average costs for cells suitable for automotive use 20

are below 150 eurokWh (cylindrical) and around 200 eurokWh (Pouchprismatic) In specific cases 21

prices around 100 eurokWh have been reported already [53] It should however be noted that 22

with the current market situation LIB prices being below costs are not unlikely to occur 23

Until 2025 production costs of the different cell formats are expected to approach and fall 24

below the mark of 100 eurokWh between 2020 and 2025 Taking further developments on 25

material level into account costs around 60-100 eurokWh seam feasible past 2025 26

Figure 39 Cost learning curves for large LIB cells (cylindrical and Pouchprismatic) [33] 3

Similar cost learning curves have been observed for other battery technologies (see Figure 4

40) In principal cost degression can be limited by demand (compare NiCd) or by reaching 5

material cost limits (compare Pb) Also the diffusion of battery technologies in new markets 6

or applications can lead to further technological improvements and justify higher production 7

costs (compare deviation of NiMH Pb) Following the available data for LIB cells approx 100 8

$kWh (~89 eurokWh) are reached at a cumulative yearly production of 1TWh This mark is 9

expected to be reached between 2020 and 2030 10

Beyond 2030 LIB production costs are however expected to start deviating from this curve 11

due to limiting raw material prices 12

2432 ESS 7

According to recent end-customer price data provided in [55] for 2018 typical consumer prices 8

for small scale (~10 kWh) stationary home storage systems are between 5000 and 15000 9

Euros leading to a relative price of 800 to 1200 eurokWh It is expected that these system prices 10

will benefit from the growing battery markets (also xEV) since similar LIB cell types can be 11

applied in both application areas With respect to inverters and other system related costs the 12

smaller market volume of home ESS indicates lower economy of scale effects as compared 13

to cells 14

244 Installation repair and maintenance costs 15

2441 xEV 16

So far no comprehensive information on repair and maintenance costs for the battery system 17

of xEVs are available Due to still rather accommodating service policies repair or 18

replacement of batteries is so far often covered by the manufacturer 19

Will be added in a later review 5

2451 Second life and recycling considerations 6

Until today only pilot projects Strategy of automotive OEM regarding second life applications 7

is not known 8

Value of recycled materials can be estimated 9

Three main scenarios possible after end of 1st life (xEV) 10

1 Disposal of batteries (eg separation of liquid and solid components hazardous waste 11

disposal) 12

2 Recycling of batteries and direct regeneration and re-use of cathode materials (2a) or 13

recovery of metals (2b) 14

3 2nd life in ESS applications under limited load (low DOD cycling low power) 15

16

Scenario 1 will add another component to battery costs scenario 2 and 3 could significantly 17

decrease the cost of batteries if energy efficient recycling methods can be developed or viable 18

2nd life business models are established 19

26 Annex 1

2611 Modelling of addressable markets for electric applications 2

Vehicle markets (in units of registrations in the EU28 per year) and ESS markets (in units of 3

number of installed home PV systems or in units of overall renewable (PV wind) electricity 4

generation in the EU28 per year) were modelled by exponential functions 5

119872119905119886119901119901(119905) = 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 6

With Mtapp(t) being the total market volume of an application M0 the market size in 2015 and 7

120591 times 119871119899(2) the time t necessary to double the initial market volume M0 M0 and Tau were chosen 8

to fit existing market data 9

119872119886119901119901(119905) = 119888 times 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 10

With Mapp(t) being the addressable market and c a factor equal or smaller than 1 Parameter 11

c lt 1 was chosen to take into account that not the whole existing market Mtapp might be 12

addressable by electric technologies Eg a share of vehicles primarily used for long distance 13

travel might not be addressable by BEV but by PHEV only 14

The market addressable for passenger PHEV (as a transition technology on the path to full 15

electric vehicles) was modelled as the difference of total vehicle sales and BEV sales 16

119872119875119867119864119881(119905) = 119888 times 119872119905119901119886119904119904119890119899119892119890119903(119905) minus 119878119861119864119881(119905) 17

The market addressable for passenger BEV was modelled like Mapp(t) with c lt 1 18

2612 Modelling of sales numbers of xEV and ESS 19

Yearly sales numbers Sapp(t) for the different applications were modelled by logistic growth 20

functions Logistic functions can model diffusion of technologies into existing markets with a 21

given market volume M The market volume can be a moving target M = M(t) The relative 22

change of sales numbers Srsquoapp(t)Sapp(t) is proportional to the market volume not yet 23

developed by a technology Mapp(t) ndash Sapp(t) 24

119878119886119901119901(119905) = 119872119886119901119901(119905) times1

1 + 119864119909119901(minus119872119886119901119901(119905) times (119905 minus 1199050)120591)(119872119886119901119901(119905)

119878119886119901119901(1199050)minus 1)

25

With Tau being a time constant and Sapp(t0) being the yearly sales number at year t0 (eg 26

2015) 27

Short time constants Tau of few years were used to model ESS sales Due to limitations of 28

the existing electricity grid to only buffer a certain share of fluctuating PV and wind generated 29

electricity the further expansion of renewable electricity generation might be strongly coupled 30

to ESS installations Hence ESS sales were modelled to closely follow the assumed 31

installations of renewable power in the limit of ldquovery fastrdquo market diffusion (120591 rarr 0) 32

2613 Modelling of battery system capacities 33

Battery capacities EBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws In 34

particular BEV battery capacities increased in the last years from 30 kWh in 2013 to more than 35

40 kWh in 2018 (EU sales and production averages) In the long term we expect BEV 36

capacities to converge towards a value sufficient to provide average driving ranges of some 37

100 km Battery capacity growth rates are hence supposed to slow down 38

119864119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198640 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 1

With E0 being the average battery capacity in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years and 2

b an exponent lt 1 The parameters were chosen to fit existing data 3

2614 Modelling of battery replacement rates 4

Battery replacement rates RrBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws 5

The replacement rate defines the share of batteries installed in year t that had to be replaced 6

within the lifetime of a system (xEV ESS) In particular for vehicles it is assumed that xEV 7

manufacturers currently install battery cells with a high lifetime and cyclability (several 8

thousand cycles) In the mid-term we expect that battery life and vehicle life (eg 200000 to 9

300000 km) will be matched by car manufacturers Assuming a constant vehicle lifetime 10

battery replacement rates are supposed to increase over time 11

119877119903119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198770 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 12

With R0 being the average replacement rate in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years 13

and b an exponent lt 1 At present there is no data available to fit the parameters Parameters 14

were estimated based on the usage profile and load of different applications 15

2615 Modelling of system lifetimes (xEV ESS) 16

System lifetimes Ltsystem(t) were assumed to be constant Ltsystem(t)= Ltsystem Parameters were 17

estimated based on manufacturer statements and typical lifetimes for combustion powered 18

vehicles 19

2616 Calculation of battery replacements 20

Battery replacements RpBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 21

calculated by assuming a uniform distribution of battery replacements over the lifetime 22

Ltsystem(i) of battery systems installed in year i 23

119877119901119861119886119905119905(119905) = sum119877119903119861119886119905119905(119894) times 119878119886119901119901(119894) times 119864119861119886119905119905(119894)

24

2617 Calculation of battery decommissions 25

Battery decommissions DcBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 26

assumed to happen coincident with the end of life of the systems (Ltsystem) they were installed 27

in in year i This neglects any second life usage in t gt i It was assumed that xEV or ESS 28

manufacturers will tune the battery lifetime to match the system lifetime (see 2614) 29

2618 Calculation of yearly installed battery capacity 31

The yearly installed battery capacity Sbapp(t) in the EU28 was calculated as 32

119878119887119886119901119901(119905) = 119878119886119901119901(119905) times 119864119886119901119901119861119886119905119905(119905) + 119877119901119886119901119901

224 Summary of the market sales forecast and estimation of the future 1

and past stock 2

As shown in sections 222 and 223 several drivers exist for the application of battery storage 3

systems in stationary and motive applications While the demand for battery capacity 4

generated by BEV and PHEV passenger cars was on the level of several GWh for 2017 the 5

ESS markets might still be below the 1 GWh mark in the EU 6

With respect to the increase of average battery capacity installed in different applications (see 7

Figure 22) and the growth rates for the sales of xEV and ESS (see sections 2223 and 8

2232) forecasts for the total new installations (including replacements) of batteries in the 9

EU28 are shown in Figure 23 See annex for further comments 10

11

Figure 22 Average system battery energy (kWh or MWh) forecast 12

It can be expected that the demand generated by sales and replacements in the EU28 will 13

amount to about 20 GWh by 2020 100 GWh by 2025 and more than 400 GWh by 2030 14

23 Market trends 3

231 General objective of subtask 23 and approach 4

The following chapter provides a comprehensive market overview on global battery sales 5

demand and players Starting with the market development of Lithium-ion batteries between 6

2010 to 2017 scenarios until 2025 to 2030 are presented including a meta-analysis of several 7

most recent market reports (eg [18ndash27]) Step by step the regional markets and markets by 8

applications will be specified 9

232 Market drivers and CO2 legislation [28] 10

Climate and energy policies are main drivers for the energy future and are expected to lead to 11

an increasing demand for energy storage in the mid and long term (see Figure 24) According 12

to the European Unionacutes decarbonization objective a reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) 13

emissions to 80 ndash 95 below 1990 levels should be achieved by 2050 14

In particular for the transport sector no full decarbonization is achieved [29] even in the longer 15

term (other sectors have to compensate with higher GHG reductions) The overall reduction 16

achieved in the transport sector by 2050 is only around 60 below 1990 levels The 17

increasing trend in emissions seen over the past 20 years is expected to reverse by the CO2 18

legislation From 2020 on the fleet average to be achieved by all new cars is 95 grams of CO2 19

per kilometer (compared to 130 gkm in 2015) 20

Many other governments world-wide have specified CO2 emission targets and are striving 21

towards a low carbon economy Particularly in the field of passenger and commercial vehicles 22

fuel consumption and emission targets have been installed which significantly drive the 23

introduction of battery or fuel cell powered electric vehicles Among these emission policies 24

the targets set by the EU are among the most ambitious (see Table 11) Meeting them will 25

require a significant share of electric vehicles 26

Table 11 Overview about fuel consumption and CO2-emission targets for passenger vehicles 1

of the EU and other countries leading battery and electric mobility markets [30] 2

In this context electric mobility is gaining importance since electric vehicles especially plug-3

in hybrid and pure battery electric vehicles can help to achieve or fulfill these limits due to 4

improved CO2 footprints compared to conventional cars However for low CO2 footprints over 5

the lifetime of electric cars a high share of ldquolow carbonrdquo renewable energy sources (RES) in 6

the energy mix is needed and important (Figure 24 left side) 7

8

Figure 24 Climate and energy policies as drivers for future energy storage demand [28] 9

The EU Energy Roadmap 2050 [31 32] has shown across six scenarios that the 10

decarbonization goal can be achieved if the share of renewable energy sources (RES) among 11

the power generation capacity is high (gt 60 until 2050) for all scenarios Especially for the 12

high RES scenario the share of fluctuating energy generation (wind photovoltaic ndash PV) is the 13

strongest which has to be balanced Grid expansion andor flexibilization measures (eg 14

demand side management power to gas and vehicle to grid besides stationary battery 15

storage) are potential solutions Thus the high RES scenario is the most interesting scenario 16

with respect to a potential future demand for energy storage solutions (ESS) on local 17

distribution and transmission grid levels (Figure 24 right side) In order to have a significant 18

GHG reduction with EVs it will also be important to achieve the RES targets 19

233 The developing battery market 1

The total annual battery market is currently on the level of 45-60 billion Euro representing 2

approximately 400-500 GWh (including Lead-acid Lithium-Ion and other batteries) [33] 3

Lithium-ion batteries (LIB) have succeeded because of their high gravimetric and volumetric 4

energy densities and have a market share of about a third in terms of value among the whole 5

battery market The growth is driven by the decreasing cell costs of less than 170 eurokWh for a 6

standard cylindrical cell (lowest prices) approaching the 90 eurokWh mark in the next years This 7

cost degression is due to increasing capacity demand and production and thus due to scale 8

effects 9

Although the LIB market is drastically growing with annual growth rates of up to 30 percent 10

on average (in terms of battery capacity demand) the dominating battery technology in terms 11

of capacity however are still lead-acid batteries representing about 90 percent of the global 12

demand in volume around 2010 and 80 percent in 2017 13

14

15

Figure 25 Historical development of the global battery demand in GWh (left axis for NiCd 16

NiMH right axis for all other battery types grey total battery demand) [34] 17

Other mature battery technologies like NiCd (still partly used in power tools) and NiMH (still 18

used in hybrid electric vehicles HEV) are slowly declining and are expected to disappear from 19

the market in the next decade The diversification of future battery applications however will 20

also broaden the range of battery technologies Emerging technologies like Na-based Metal-21

Sulfur or Redox Flow batteries are developing and may lead to attractive solutions eg with 22

respect to cost and resource availability advantages However due to very strict requirements 23

on volumetric energy densities these technologies are expected to be relevant for stationary 24

or other special markets and less for the most significant electric vehicle market In general 25

each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses and none of them can satisfy all user 26

demands Hence a broader application-specific technology portfolio is urgently needed in 27

order to provide alternative technology solutions in the future 28

The extremely dynamic development of the global LIB demand will lead to the TWh level latest 29

around 2030 and grow further after 2030 Thus LIB will very soon transform into the 30

dominating energy storage technology 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

34

Figure 26 shows three different scenarios for the global demand for LIB between 2010 and 1

2030 (green curves) along with global production capacities (orange and blue curve)[33] 2

While at the beginning of the decade the demand and sales numbers followed the medium 3

growth rate trend scenario the market has been approaching the high growth rate scenario in 4

the last years This is mainly due to the strong engagement of politics and respective 5

regulation and subsidy programs for electric mobility As can be seen from the graph the 6

share of demand generated by motive applications is expected to significantly grow in the next 7

years and might account for more than one third of the total LIB demand by 2025 8

To face this increasing demand for LIB cells accordingly production capacities need to be 9

build up in the near future Based on the currently existing cell production capacities and the 10

global announcements from established and new cell producers until 2025 the LIB cell 11

production capacities (blue line in 12

Figure 26) have been identified Compared to 15 GWh added production capacity between 13

2013 and 2016 in the next years around 50 GWh will be added annually leading to around 14

700 GWh production capacities until 2025 (in the optimistic case see blue line in 15

Figure 26) The announcements include established players such as Panasonic (JP) LG 16

Chem (KR) Samsung (KR) SKI (KR) BYD (CN) Lishen (CN) CATL (CN) CALB (CN) 17

OPTIMUM (CN) and several further Chinese cell producers Also new players such as TerraE 18

(DE) Northvolt (SW) Boston Energy (US AU) Energy Absolute (Thailand) are included 19

while accounting for the different stages of expansion [20 27] 20

21

234 Battery markets by application 23

Diversification of applications for batteries 24

The above described global developments of battery demand and production strongly concern 25

high-energy lithium-ion batteries with the cell chemistries NMC NCA (Ni-rich and Co-reduced 26

cathodes) and SiC (high capacity SiC anodes with 5-10 or higher Si content) and cell 27

formats cylindrical (eg larger 21700 compared to standard 18650) large pouch or prismatic 28

cells The target is to develop and produce cells with improved gravimetric and volumetric 29

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

35

energy densities and reduced costs in order to meet the requirements of the automotive 1

industry Electric passenger cars are driving the demand and thus development of the battery 2

technology and these optimized and cost reduced batteries define the benchmark today and 3

in the future 4

LIB demand by applications 5

In Figure 27 the global LIB demand is broken down to the three main sectors for battery 6

demand which can be characterised each having different profiles of requirement 7

bull electric mobility or electric vehicles (EV including eg passenger cars light 8

commercial vehicles buses trucks scooters ebikes etc) 9

bull stationary energy storage systems (ESS) and 10

bull portable devices (3C ndash Computer Communication Consumer) 11

The LIB cell demand developed to almost 25 GWh in 2010 since the market introduction in 12

the early 1990s and dominantly resulted from portable devices In 2015 the cell demand of 13

about 70 GWh was distributed already almost 5050 between 3C and EV applications 14

15

Figure 27 Global LIB demand (in GWh and share in ) by segment [34] 16

Since 2015 the global LIB demand has increased with compound annual growth rates 17

(CAGR) of ~25 from about 70 GWh to about 110 GWh in 2017 The market for electric 18

vehicles currently grows with 30-40 (and more depending on the application and region) and 19

a diversification in applications (eg buses trucks other light to heavy commercial vehicles 20

marine applications drones etc) can be observed 21

With the diversification of future markets and applications cost sensitive markets will arise for 22

which optimized high-energy and cost reduced automotive cells of certain cell formats will be 23

used However also applications with stronger requirements on long lifetime high cycleability 24

fast charging capability safety etc will emerge and diffuse where cost is not the most 25

relevant factor and other battery technologies (ie cell chemistries formats) can provide a 26

unique selling proposition and hence lead to a product differentiation 27

2341 LIB markets for 3C applications 28

Portable devices (3C) have been the main applications for LIB cells in the past Power tools 29

medical devices and wearables are expected to be products with an emerging future market 30

for small LIB cells but with enormous quantities The price per kWh that can be stored plays a 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

36

less important role for these applications As far as charging is concerned technologies such 1

as energy harvesting and wireless charging are expected to be introduced in the future For 2

many markets and products such as household devices garden cleaning power tools other 3

mobile leisure applications etc today mostly cylindrical LIB cells of the format 18650 are used 4

With the introduction of 21700 cells also larger cylindrical cells become available now and are 5

expected to be used in diffuse in such applications Although different specific cell chemistries 6

might be suitable depending on the concrete application again it can be stated that the 3C 7

segment is expected to lead to a comparably small battery capacity demand compared to the 8

EV segment and will not be the limiting segment with respect to the risk of resource 9

dependencies 10

In the next few years growth rates of about 5 to 10 percent are expected for the 3C markets 11

while laptop battery demand is developing at lower growth rates and power tools medical 12

devices etc are supporting the growth rates for the battery demand 13

14

15

Figure 28 Demand and growth of the 3C LIB market [34] 16

2342 LIB markets for stationary (ESS) applications 17

Stationary energy storage systems (ESS) can be divided into different size classes with regard 18

to the capacity and charging times Both together decide on the application area (eg small 19

PV storage at home peak load to long-term storage) [35] Beyond that the price per kWh put 20

through over the lifetime is the economic key factor (as synthesized by the LCOE levelized 21

cost of energy) In contrast gravimetric and volumetric energy density plays a subordinate 22

role Due to that lead-acid batteries were often used as storage technology for off- and on-23

grid storage Currently LIBs are being established for commercial use and meanwhile reach 24

an annual demand of some few GWh Other electrochemical storage technologies such as 25

sodium-sulfur batteries are still used but the demand for LIB is strongly increasing for ESS It 26

is expected that 2nd life concepts for batteries that had their first life in electric vehicles will 27

gain importance together with market diffusion in the EV segment as the requirements on the 28

batteries are less demanding in the ESS segment This however will require the development 29

of according business models standardization etc The much broader available technology 30

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

37

portfolio for ESS applications the use of 2nd life batteries and the fact that electric vehicle 1

batteries that are connected to the grid on a large scale with higher market diffusion can be 2

regarded as stationary storage systems as well (vehicle to grid V2G grid to vehicle G2V) help 3

to reduce the risk of technological and resource dependencies in the future 4

The market for stationary storage applications (ESS) is experiencing growth rates of 20 to 30 5

percent depending on individual market forecasts (in the last years CAGR have even been on 6

the level of 60 but decrease with increasing size of the market see Figure 29) 7

The market is currently on a level of few GWh including applications from smaller PV storage 8

systems of 5-10 kWh to larger industrial and grid connected installations for own power 9

consumption peak shaving etc on the MWh level Regarding these growth rates LIB for ESS 10

applications rapidly gain importance as de-central storage solutions compared to the currently 11

dominating central pumped hydro storage (PHS) Forecasts to 2025 differ by size and expect 12

an ESS LIB demand between 20-50 GWh (partially higher eg in [23]) but all forecasts identify 13

high growth rates 14

15

Figure 29 Demand and growth of the ESS LIB market [34] 16

17

2343 LIB markets for electric vehicle applications 18

One of the biggest challenges for batteries for electric vehicles (EV including electric cars 19

buses trucks etc) apart from their price is the increase of their volumetric and gravimetric 20

energy density The volumetric energy density is even more important for OEM due to 21

restricted and fixed space and location of the battery in an electric vehicle A very relevant 22

parameter of a battery is its charging and discharging power in particular in continuous 23

operation It determines the fast-charging capability which is an important argument in the 24

use and the establishment on the market At the same time this sets limits to the high-25

performance operation since energy consumption is reduced to protect the battery from 26

damage This illustrates the conflicting effect of different parameters on the battery lifetime 27

Price volume weight and thus charge density as well as chargedischarge rate in terms of 28

usage and durability are the most urgent challenges for battery manufacturers 29

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

38

The market for EV batteries is currently at the level of about 50 GWh (including electric 1

passenger cars busses trucks ebikes scooter forklifts etc) Growth rates are at 20 to 40 2

percent and the demand for EV batteries will lead to a share of about 66 percent in 2020 76 3

percent until 2025 and 80 percent or higher in the long term Electric passenger cars (BEV 4

and PHEV) define the by far largest market within the EV segment and are clearly driving the 5

technology development of high energy Lithium-Ion or Lithium-based batteries in the future 6

7

Figure 30 Demand and growth of the EV LIB market [34] 8

9

Other motive (or stationary or portable) markets applications besides the highly competitive 10

electric passenger cars therefore can offer interesting growth markets also for smaller cell 11

producers beyond the large Japanese Korean and Chinese cell producers These markets or 12

applications very often define concrete requirements for the battery performance they require 13

an in depth understanding and design from the cell chemistry format to the modulepack and 14

system integration and they still vary strongly by region and are connected to individual system 15

integrators or OEM This is because each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses 16

and none of them can satisfy all userapplication demands Hence a broader application 17

specific technology portfolio is even urgently needed in order to provide alternative individual 18

technology solutions for these emerging marketsapplications 19

20

235 Market channels and production structure 21

2351 Global production capacities and major players 22

Since their commercialization in the 1990s LIB have been predominantly produced by 23

Japanese and Korean companies Driven by the Chinese government particularly cell 24

producers but also companies covering other steps of the LIB value creation chain have been 25

established in China Due to a policy of simultaneous support for LIB production as well as for 26

application markets and due to an extensive subsidy scheme a large share of LIB production 27

capacities is located in China today 28

Figure 31 Figure 32 Figure 33 and Figure 34 show the global LIB production capacities of 29

major cell producers in 2018 as well as forecasts for 2020 2025 and 2030 respectively [36] 30

The data is based on announcements made by the cell producers As discussed in section 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

39

233 the actual time-frame for the implementation of the capacity expansions is often delayed 1

with respect to the original announcements Hence minimum and maximum values for the 2

production capacities are given 3

Figure 34 Global LIB production capacities of major cell producers in 2030 [36] 2

Until 2030 the announced production capacities add up to more than 1 TWh In total there 3

are about 30 cell producers which have announced to build up production capacities of more 4

than 10 GWhyear which can be considered to be a threshold in order to be able to produce 5

at competitve costs [36] If the announced capacities are fully utilized the ldquobig 4rdquo (Panasonic 6

CATL LGC and BYD) will be able to fully cover the market demand (gt550 GWh) until 2025 7

2352 Europes position in the global battery value chain 8

In the EU several actors are positioned which cover production steps along the whole value 9

chain of LIBs starting from raw material production to production of cells and systems and 10

finally recycling However with respect to global markets only few organizations within the EU 11

have a market share of more than 1 in their specific segment eg BASF Germany in the 12

field of electrolyte production [30] 13

An overview about existing and active companies is given by the European Battery Alliance 14

(see Figure 35) Due to the presence of strong automotive OEM LIB pack manufacturing and 15

system integration is taking place on large scale in Europe A particular gap in the value chain 16

is present due to the lack of a large-scale cell production capable of serving the volumes and 17

prices required by the automotive industry 18

Several consortia are currently attempting to build up a European large scale cell 4

manufacturing such as Nothvolt (Sweden) with 32 GWh until 2023 or Saft (together with 5

Siemens and Manz) [39] Recently the German government announced plans for funding of 6

a Batterie-Cell-Alliance between Germany and Poland with cell production capacities in the 7

Regions Lausitz (Germany) and Westpoland [40 41] At the cross section between RampD and 8

large-scale production also a Research Production with 600 Mio EUR funding is foreseen 9

whereas the Fraunhofer Society should coordinate and run such a research production [42] 10

The announced funding from the German government sums up to 2 bn EUR 11

Given all these announced investments and production capacities to build up in the next years 12

the cell production capacities of European cell manufacturers could sum up to over 40 GWh 13

beyond 2025 In contrast main Asian cell manufacturer have already started with cell 14

production (eg LG SDI) or plan to build up production capacities until 2020 to 2025 In 15

concrete there are plans from [43ndash51] 16

17

bull CATL (China) to build 14 GWh in Germany Erfurt beyond 2020 18

bull LG Chem (Japan) to build 15 to 24 GWh (for 03 Mio EVs) in Poland beyond 2020 19

bull Samsung SDI (Japan) to build 10 to 15 GWh beyond 2020 in Hungary (including a 20

recent 5 GWh announcement for 21700 cells for Land Rover 21

bull SK Innovation (Japan) to build 75 GWh in Hungary beyond 2020 22

bull PanasonicTesla to build a (assumed 35GWh) Gigafactory in Europa around 2025 23

bull as well as from BYD (China) GS Yuasa (Japan) and Farasis (US) to build production 24

capacities between 2020 and 2025 25

The production capacities from Asian (or non-European) cell manufacturer might sum up to 27

well above 82-96 GWh by 2025 and including BYD GS Yuasa Farasis etc capacities far 28

above 100 GWh can be expected Together with the new EU cell producers this could easily 29

sum up towards the above mentioned 200 GWh demand in Europe But it also clearly indicates 30

44

the competition the emerging European players have to face (besides the fact that the plans 1

of the Asian companies are expected to be realized already several years earlier as those of 2

the novel EU companies) 3

2353 Product design trends and technological roadmap 4

Concerning the battery technology or type (by chemistry format etc) which will most likely 5

be produced to address this increasing demand the global roadmaps of cell producers are 6

basically similar Based on state-of-the art cell design (eg LFP NCA based ldquogeneration 1rdquo 7

and NMC111 to NMC532 ldquogeneration 2abrdquo Li-ion batteries) [52] and state-of-the-art 8

production equipment incremental improvements are expected in the next few years but with 9

the target to get to higher-energy lithium-ion batteries Concerning the electrolytes still liquid 10

electrolytes will be used but adopted to the changing electrode materials (eg with additives) 11

Current trends for layered oxide cathodes describe the development of Ni-rich (Co reduced) 12

materials (NMC) A few cell producers are already using NMC811 or comparable cathode 13

materials others are still adopting NMC622 (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3ardquo) On cathode 14

side maybe even lower-cost Mn-rich High Energy NMCs (HE-NMC) might be realized and 15

produced within ~10 years as Mn is cheaper than Ni (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3brdquo) On 16

anode side the trend is to incorporate Si-nano particles to make use of the alloying reaction 17

between Si and Li yielding a high capacitance This however comes at the cost of cycle life 18

Further down the road we might see higher Si contents (~20) 19

20

All-solid-state batteries are on the roadmap of many battery producers but also OEM (also 21

referred to as ldquogeneration 4rdquo) The key performance parameters (KPI) are suitable for electric 22

mobility (EV) Main challenges are indeed manufacturability particularly for ceramic solid state 23

electrolytes which promise to yield the highest advantages over state of the art technologies 24

The market introduction in niche applications is expected possible prior to the use in 25

automotive applications First all-solid-state batteries might not be competitive in terms of 26

energy density but safety properties Later on energy densities of 350-400 Whkg and higher 27

are expected 28

Other technologies (not marked in blue in the above figure) feature certain USPs compared to 4

Li-ion batteries but (according to the current level of knowledge) do not reach the necessary 5

KPIs in terms of energy density power density and cycling stability necessary for electric 6

mobility (these are marked in grey) USPs of these technologies can be cost resource 7

availability either volumetric or gravimetric energy density or others But often even 8

fundamental challenges are not solved yet (eg concerning the stability of materials and 9

electrochemical systems kinetics etc) 10

24 Consumer expenditure base data 2

241 General objective of subtask 24 and approach 3

Subtask 24 gives an overview about average production costs and consumer prices incl 4

VAT (for consumer prices streetprice) excl VAT (for B2B products) as well as an estimation 5

of repair and maintenance as well as installation and disposal costs 6

Due to their recent larger scale market introduction there is still little experience with 7

maintenance as well as disposal expenses Hence only estimations can be made based on 8

isolated sources 9

242 Development of LIB cell costs 10

As the core of LIB based energy storage systems the battery cell exhibits the highest cost 11

share During the last years particularly standardized 18650 format LIB cells have 12

experienced a steep cost learning curve benefiting from production scale effects but also 13

from technological advancements on material level increasing the energy density per volume 14

and weight and decreasing the amount of cost intense Cobalt-based components Compared 15

to this benchmark larger format LIB cells (Pouch prismatic) as are utilized in xEVs and ESS 16

predominantly feature lower energy densities at higher cost per kWh There are however no 17

principal limitations which would prevent a performance and cost development similar to what 18

was observed for cylindrical cells Figure 39 shows the cost learning curves for cylindrical as 19

well as larger format LIB cells [33] Today average costs for cells suitable for automotive use 20

are below 150 eurokWh (cylindrical) and around 200 eurokWh (Pouchprismatic) In specific cases 21

prices around 100 eurokWh have been reported already [53] It should however be noted that 22

with the current market situation LIB prices being below costs are not unlikely to occur 23

Until 2025 production costs of the different cell formats are expected to approach and fall 24

below the mark of 100 eurokWh between 2020 and 2025 Taking further developments on 25

material level into account costs around 60-100 eurokWh seam feasible past 2025 26

Figure 39 Cost learning curves for large LIB cells (cylindrical and Pouchprismatic) [33] 3

Similar cost learning curves have been observed for other battery technologies (see Figure 4

40) In principal cost degression can be limited by demand (compare NiCd) or by reaching 5

material cost limits (compare Pb) Also the diffusion of battery technologies in new markets 6

or applications can lead to further technological improvements and justify higher production 7

costs (compare deviation of NiMH Pb) Following the available data for LIB cells approx 100 8

$kWh (~89 eurokWh) are reached at a cumulative yearly production of 1TWh This mark is 9

expected to be reached between 2020 and 2030 10

Beyond 2030 LIB production costs are however expected to start deviating from this curve 11

due to limiting raw material prices 12

2432 ESS 7

According to recent end-customer price data provided in [55] for 2018 typical consumer prices 8

for small scale (~10 kWh) stationary home storage systems are between 5000 and 15000 9

Euros leading to a relative price of 800 to 1200 eurokWh It is expected that these system prices 10

will benefit from the growing battery markets (also xEV) since similar LIB cell types can be 11

applied in both application areas With respect to inverters and other system related costs the 12

smaller market volume of home ESS indicates lower economy of scale effects as compared 13

to cells 14

244 Installation repair and maintenance costs 15

2441 xEV 16

So far no comprehensive information on repair and maintenance costs for the battery system 17

of xEVs are available Due to still rather accommodating service policies repair or 18

replacement of batteries is so far often covered by the manufacturer 19

Will be added in a later review 5

2451 Second life and recycling considerations 6

Until today only pilot projects Strategy of automotive OEM regarding second life applications 7

is not known 8

Value of recycled materials can be estimated 9

Three main scenarios possible after end of 1st life (xEV) 10

1 Disposal of batteries (eg separation of liquid and solid components hazardous waste 11

disposal) 12

2 Recycling of batteries and direct regeneration and re-use of cathode materials (2a) or 13

recovery of metals (2b) 14

3 2nd life in ESS applications under limited load (low DOD cycling low power) 15

16

Scenario 1 will add another component to battery costs scenario 2 and 3 could significantly 17

decrease the cost of batteries if energy efficient recycling methods can be developed or viable 18

2nd life business models are established 19

26 Annex 1

2611 Modelling of addressable markets for electric applications 2

Vehicle markets (in units of registrations in the EU28 per year) and ESS markets (in units of 3

number of installed home PV systems or in units of overall renewable (PV wind) electricity 4

generation in the EU28 per year) were modelled by exponential functions 5

119872119905119886119901119901(119905) = 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 6

With Mtapp(t) being the total market volume of an application M0 the market size in 2015 and 7

120591 times 119871119899(2) the time t necessary to double the initial market volume M0 M0 and Tau were chosen 8

to fit existing market data 9

119872119886119901119901(119905) = 119888 times 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 10

With Mapp(t) being the addressable market and c a factor equal or smaller than 1 Parameter 11

c lt 1 was chosen to take into account that not the whole existing market Mtapp might be 12

addressable by electric technologies Eg a share of vehicles primarily used for long distance 13

travel might not be addressable by BEV but by PHEV only 14

The market addressable for passenger PHEV (as a transition technology on the path to full 15

electric vehicles) was modelled as the difference of total vehicle sales and BEV sales 16

119872119875119867119864119881(119905) = 119888 times 119872119905119901119886119904119904119890119899119892119890119903(119905) minus 119878119861119864119881(119905) 17

The market addressable for passenger BEV was modelled like Mapp(t) with c lt 1 18

2612 Modelling of sales numbers of xEV and ESS 19

Yearly sales numbers Sapp(t) for the different applications were modelled by logistic growth 20

functions Logistic functions can model diffusion of technologies into existing markets with a 21

given market volume M The market volume can be a moving target M = M(t) The relative 22

change of sales numbers Srsquoapp(t)Sapp(t) is proportional to the market volume not yet 23

developed by a technology Mapp(t) ndash Sapp(t) 24

119878119886119901119901(119905) = 119872119886119901119901(119905) times1

1 + 119864119909119901(minus119872119886119901119901(119905) times (119905 minus 1199050)120591)(119872119886119901119901(119905)

119878119886119901119901(1199050)minus 1)

25

With Tau being a time constant and Sapp(t0) being the yearly sales number at year t0 (eg 26

2015) 27

Short time constants Tau of few years were used to model ESS sales Due to limitations of 28

the existing electricity grid to only buffer a certain share of fluctuating PV and wind generated 29

electricity the further expansion of renewable electricity generation might be strongly coupled 30

to ESS installations Hence ESS sales were modelled to closely follow the assumed 31

installations of renewable power in the limit of ldquovery fastrdquo market diffusion (120591 rarr 0) 32

2613 Modelling of battery system capacities 33

Battery capacities EBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws In 34

particular BEV battery capacities increased in the last years from 30 kWh in 2013 to more than 35

40 kWh in 2018 (EU sales and production averages) In the long term we expect BEV 36

capacities to converge towards a value sufficient to provide average driving ranges of some 37

100 km Battery capacity growth rates are hence supposed to slow down 38

52

119864119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198640 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 1

With E0 being the average battery capacity in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years and 2

b an exponent lt 1 The parameters were chosen to fit existing data 3

2614 Modelling of battery replacement rates 4

Battery replacement rates RrBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws 5

The replacement rate defines the share of batteries installed in year t that had to be replaced 6

within the lifetime of a system (xEV ESS) In particular for vehicles it is assumed that xEV 7

manufacturers currently install battery cells with a high lifetime and cyclability (several 8

thousand cycles) In the mid-term we expect that battery life and vehicle life (eg 200000 to 9

300000 km) will be matched by car manufacturers Assuming a constant vehicle lifetime 10

battery replacement rates are supposed to increase over time 11

119877119903119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198770 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 12

With R0 being the average replacement rate in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years 13

and b an exponent lt 1 At present there is no data available to fit the parameters Parameters 14

were estimated based on the usage profile and load of different applications 15

2615 Modelling of system lifetimes (xEV ESS) 16

System lifetimes Ltsystem(t) were assumed to be constant Ltsystem(t)= Ltsystem Parameters were 17

estimated based on manufacturer statements and typical lifetimes for combustion powered 18

vehicles 19

2616 Calculation of battery replacements 20

Battery replacements RpBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 21

calculated by assuming a uniform distribution of battery replacements over the lifetime 22

Ltsystem(i) of battery systems installed in year i 23

119877119901119861119886119905119905(119905) = sum119877119903119861119886119905119905(119894) times 119878119886119901119901(119894) times 119864119861119886119905119905(119894)

24

2617 Calculation of battery decommissions 25

Battery decommissions DcBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 26

assumed to happen coincident with the end of life of the systems (Ltsystem) they were installed 27

in in year i This neglects any second life usage in t gt i It was assumed that xEV or ESS 28

manufacturers will tune the battery lifetime to match the system lifetime (see 2614) 29

2618 Calculation of yearly installed battery capacity 31

The yearly installed battery capacity Sbapp(t) in the EU28 was calculated as 32

119878119887119886119901119901(119905) = 119878119886119901119901(119905) times 119864119886119901119901119861119886119905119905(119905) + 119877119901119886119901119901

23 Market trends 3

231 General objective of subtask 23 and approach 4

The following chapter provides a comprehensive market overview on global battery sales 5

demand and players Starting with the market development of Lithium-ion batteries between 6

2010 to 2017 scenarios until 2025 to 2030 are presented including a meta-analysis of several 7

most recent market reports (eg [18ndash27]) Step by step the regional markets and markets by 8

applications will be specified 9

232 Market drivers and CO2 legislation [28] 10

Climate and energy policies are main drivers for the energy future and are expected to lead to 11

an increasing demand for energy storage in the mid and long term (see Figure 24) According 12

to the European Unionacutes decarbonization objective a reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) 13

emissions to 80 ndash 95 below 1990 levels should be achieved by 2050 14

In particular for the transport sector no full decarbonization is achieved [29] even in the longer 15

term (other sectors have to compensate with higher GHG reductions) The overall reduction 16

achieved in the transport sector by 2050 is only around 60 below 1990 levels The 17

increasing trend in emissions seen over the past 20 years is expected to reverse by the CO2 18

legislation From 2020 on the fleet average to be achieved by all new cars is 95 grams of CO2 19

per kilometer (compared to 130 gkm in 2015) 20

Many other governments world-wide have specified CO2 emission targets and are striving 21

towards a low carbon economy Particularly in the field of passenger and commercial vehicles 22

fuel consumption and emission targets have been installed which significantly drive the 23

introduction of battery or fuel cell powered electric vehicles Among these emission policies 24

the targets set by the EU are among the most ambitious (see Table 11) Meeting them will 25

require a significant share of electric vehicles 26

Table 11 Overview about fuel consumption and CO2-emission targets for passenger vehicles 1

of the EU and other countries leading battery and electric mobility markets [30] 2

In this context electric mobility is gaining importance since electric vehicles especially plug-3

in hybrid and pure battery electric vehicles can help to achieve or fulfill these limits due to 4

improved CO2 footprints compared to conventional cars However for low CO2 footprints over 5

the lifetime of electric cars a high share of ldquolow carbonrdquo renewable energy sources (RES) in 6

the energy mix is needed and important (Figure 24 left side) 7

8

Figure 24 Climate and energy policies as drivers for future energy storage demand [28] 9

The EU Energy Roadmap 2050 [31 32] has shown across six scenarios that the 10

decarbonization goal can be achieved if the share of renewable energy sources (RES) among 11

the power generation capacity is high (gt 60 until 2050) for all scenarios Especially for the 12

high RES scenario the share of fluctuating energy generation (wind photovoltaic ndash PV) is the 13

strongest which has to be balanced Grid expansion andor flexibilization measures (eg 14

demand side management power to gas and vehicle to grid besides stationary battery 15

storage) are potential solutions Thus the high RES scenario is the most interesting scenario 16

with respect to a potential future demand for energy storage solutions (ESS) on local 17

distribution and transmission grid levels (Figure 24 right side) In order to have a significant 18

GHG reduction with EVs it will also be important to achieve the RES targets 19

233 The developing battery market 1

The total annual battery market is currently on the level of 45-60 billion Euro representing 2

approximately 400-500 GWh (including Lead-acid Lithium-Ion and other batteries) [33] 3

Lithium-ion batteries (LIB) have succeeded because of their high gravimetric and volumetric 4

energy densities and have a market share of about a third in terms of value among the whole 5

battery market The growth is driven by the decreasing cell costs of less than 170 eurokWh for a 6

standard cylindrical cell (lowest prices) approaching the 90 eurokWh mark in the next years This 7

cost degression is due to increasing capacity demand and production and thus due to scale 8

effects 9

Although the LIB market is drastically growing with annual growth rates of up to 30 percent 10

on average (in terms of battery capacity demand) the dominating battery technology in terms 11

of capacity however are still lead-acid batteries representing about 90 percent of the global 12

demand in volume around 2010 and 80 percent in 2017 13

14

15

Figure 25 Historical development of the global battery demand in GWh (left axis for NiCd 16

NiMH right axis for all other battery types grey total battery demand) [34] 17

Other mature battery technologies like NiCd (still partly used in power tools) and NiMH (still 18

used in hybrid electric vehicles HEV) are slowly declining and are expected to disappear from 19

the market in the next decade The diversification of future battery applications however will 20

also broaden the range of battery technologies Emerging technologies like Na-based Metal-21

Sulfur or Redox Flow batteries are developing and may lead to attractive solutions eg with 22

respect to cost and resource availability advantages However due to very strict requirements 23

on volumetric energy densities these technologies are expected to be relevant for stationary 24

or other special markets and less for the most significant electric vehicle market In general 25

each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses and none of them can satisfy all user 26

demands Hence a broader application-specific technology portfolio is urgently needed in 27

order to provide alternative technology solutions in the future 28

The extremely dynamic development of the global LIB demand will lead to the TWh level latest 29

around 2030 and grow further after 2030 Thus LIB will very soon transform into the 30

dominating energy storage technology 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

34

Figure 26 shows three different scenarios for the global demand for LIB between 2010 and 1

2030 (green curves) along with global production capacities (orange and blue curve)[33] 2

While at the beginning of the decade the demand and sales numbers followed the medium 3

growth rate trend scenario the market has been approaching the high growth rate scenario in 4

the last years This is mainly due to the strong engagement of politics and respective 5

regulation and subsidy programs for electric mobility As can be seen from the graph the 6

share of demand generated by motive applications is expected to significantly grow in the next 7

years and might account for more than one third of the total LIB demand by 2025 8

To face this increasing demand for LIB cells accordingly production capacities need to be 9

build up in the near future Based on the currently existing cell production capacities and the 10

global announcements from established and new cell producers until 2025 the LIB cell 11

production capacities (blue line in 12

Figure 26) have been identified Compared to 15 GWh added production capacity between 13

2013 and 2016 in the next years around 50 GWh will be added annually leading to around 14

700 GWh production capacities until 2025 (in the optimistic case see blue line in 15

Figure 26) The announcements include established players such as Panasonic (JP) LG 16

Chem (KR) Samsung (KR) SKI (KR) BYD (CN) Lishen (CN) CATL (CN) CALB (CN) 17

OPTIMUM (CN) and several further Chinese cell producers Also new players such as TerraE 18

(DE) Northvolt (SW) Boston Energy (US AU) Energy Absolute (Thailand) are included 19

while accounting for the different stages of expansion [20 27] 20

234 Battery markets by application 23

Diversification of applications for batteries 24

The above described global developments of battery demand and production strongly concern 25

high-energy lithium-ion batteries with the cell chemistries NMC NCA (Ni-rich and Co-reduced 26

cathodes) and SiC (high capacity SiC anodes with 5-10 or higher Si content) and cell 27

formats cylindrical (eg larger 21700 compared to standard 18650) large pouch or prismatic 28

cells The target is to develop and produce cells with improved gravimetric and volumetric 29

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

35

energy densities and reduced costs in order to meet the requirements of the automotive 1

industry Electric passenger cars are driving the demand and thus development of the battery 2

technology and these optimized and cost reduced batteries define the benchmark today and 3

in the future 4

LIB demand by applications 5

In Figure 27 the global LIB demand is broken down to the three main sectors for battery 6

demand which can be characterised each having different profiles of requirement 7

bull electric mobility or electric vehicles (EV including eg passenger cars light 8

commercial vehicles buses trucks scooters ebikes etc) 9

bull stationary energy storage systems (ESS) and 10

bull portable devices (3C ndash Computer Communication Consumer) 11

The LIB cell demand developed to almost 25 GWh in 2010 since the market introduction in 12

the early 1990s and dominantly resulted from portable devices In 2015 the cell demand of 13

about 70 GWh was distributed already almost 5050 between 3C and EV applications 14

15

Figure 27 Global LIB demand (in GWh and share in ) by segment [34] 16

Since 2015 the global LIB demand has increased with compound annual growth rates 17

(CAGR) of ~25 from about 70 GWh to about 110 GWh in 2017 The market for electric 18

vehicles currently grows with 30-40 (and more depending on the application and region) and 19

a diversification in applications (eg buses trucks other light to heavy commercial vehicles 20

marine applications drones etc) can be observed 21

With the diversification of future markets and applications cost sensitive markets will arise for 22

which optimized high-energy and cost reduced automotive cells of certain cell formats will be 23

used However also applications with stronger requirements on long lifetime high cycleability 24

fast charging capability safety etc will emerge and diffuse where cost is not the most 25

relevant factor and other battery technologies (ie cell chemistries formats) can provide a 26

unique selling proposition and hence lead to a product differentiation 27

2341 LIB markets for 3C applications 28

Portable devices (3C) have been the main applications for LIB cells in the past Power tools 29

medical devices and wearables are expected to be products with an emerging future market 30

for small LIB cells but with enormous quantities The price per kWh that can be stored plays a 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

36

less important role for these applications As far as charging is concerned technologies such 1

as energy harvesting and wireless charging are expected to be introduced in the future For 2

many markets and products such as household devices garden cleaning power tools other 3

mobile leisure applications etc today mostly cylindrical LIB cells of the format 18650 are used 4

With the introduction of 21700 cells also larger cylindrical cells become available now and are 5

expected to be used in diffuse in such applications Although different specific cell chemistries 6

might be suitable depending on the concrete application again it can be stated that the 3C 7

segment is expected to lead to a comparably small battery capacity demand compared to the 8

EV segment and will not be the limiting segment with respect to the risk of resource 9

dependencies 10

In the next few years growth rates of about 5 to 10 percent are expected for the 3C markets 11

while laptop battery demand is developing at lower growth rates and power tools medical 12

devices etc are supporting the growth rates for the battery demand 13

14

15

Figure 28 Demand and growth of the 3C LIB market [34] 16

2342 LIB markets for stationary (ESS) applications 17

Stationary energy storage systems (ESS) can be divided into different size classes with regard 18

to the capacity and charging times Both together decide on the application area (eg small 19

PV storage at home peak load to long-term storage) [35] Beyond that the price per kWh put 20

through over the lifetime is the economic key factor (as synthesized by the LCOE levelized 21

cost of energy) In contrast gravimetric and volumetric energy density plays a subordinate 22

role Due to that lead-acid batteries were often used as storage technology for off- and on-23

grid storage Currently LIBs are being established for commercial use and meanwhile reach 24

an annual demand of some few GWh Other electrochemical storage technologies such as 25

sodium-sulfur batteries are still used but the demand for LIB is strongly increasing for ESS It 26

is expected that 2nd life concepts for batteries that had their first life in electric vehicles will 27

gain importance together with market diffusion in the EV segment as the requirements on the 28

batteries are less demanding in the ESS segment This however will require the development 29

of according business models standardization etc The much broader available technology 30

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

37

portfolio for ESS applications the use of 2nd life batteries and the fact that electric vehicle 1

batteries that are connected to the grid on a large scale with higher market diffusion can be 2

regarded as stationary storage systems as well (vehicle to grid V2G grid to vehicle G2V) help 3

to reduce the risk of technological and resource dependencies in the future 4

The market for stationary storage applications (ESS) is experiencing growth rates of 20 to 30 5

percent depending on individual market forecasts (in the last years CAGR have even been on 6

the level of 60 but decrease with increasing size of the market see Figure 29) 7

The market is currently on a level of few GWh including applications from smaller PV storage 8

systems of 5-10 kWh to larger industrial and grid connected installations for own power 9

consumption peak shaving etc on the MWh level Regarding these growth rates LIB for ESS 10

applications rapidly gain importance as de-central storage solutions compared to the currently 11

dominating central pumped hydro storage (PHS) Forecasts to 2025 differ by size and expect 12

an ESS LIB demand between 20-50 GWh (partially higher eg in [23]) but all forecasts identify 13

high growth rates 14

15

Figure 29 Demand and growth of the ESS LIB market [34] 16

17

2343 LIB markets for electric vehicle applications 18

One of the biggest challenges for batteries for electric vehicles (EV including electric cars 19

buses trucks etc) apart from their price is the increase of their volumetric and gravimetric 20

energy density The volumetric energy density is even more important for OEM due to 21

restricted and fixed space and location of the battery in an electric vehicle A very relevant 22

parameter of a battery is its charging and discharging power in particular in continuous 23

operation It determines the fast-charging capability which is an important argument in the 24

use and the establishment on the market At the same time this sets limits to the high-25

performance operation since energy consumption is reduced to protect the battery from 26

damage This illustrates the conflicting effect of different parameters on the battery lifetime 27

Price volume weight and thus charge density as well as chargedischarge rate in terms of 28

usage and durability are the most urgent challenges for battery manufacturers 29

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

38

The market for EV batteries is currently at the level of about 50 GWh (including electric 1

passenger cars busses trucks ebikes scooter forklifts etc) Growth rates are at 20 to 40 2

percent and the demand for EV batteries will lead to a share of about 66 percent in 2020 76 3

percent until 2025 and 80 percent or higher in the long term Electric passenger cars (BEV 4

and PHEV) define the by far largest market within the EV segment and are clearly driving the 5

technology development of high energy Lithium-Ion or Lithium-based batteries in the future 6

7

Figure 30 Demand and growth of the EV LIB market [34] 8

9

Other motive (or stationary or portable) markets applications besides the highly competitive 10

electric passenger cars therefore can offer interesting growth markets also for smaller cell 11

producers beyond the large Japanese Korean and Chinese cell producers These markets or 12

applications very often define concrete requirements for the battery performance they require 13

an in depth understanding and design from the cell chemistry format to the modulepack and 14

system integration and they still vary strongly by region and are connected to individual system 15

integrators or OEM This is because each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses 16

and none of them can satisfy all userapplication demands Hence a broader application 17

specific technology portfolio is even urgently needed in order to provide alternative individual 18

technology solutions for these emerging marketsapplications 19

20

235 Market channels and production structure 21

2351 Global production capacities and major players 22

Since their commercialization in the 1990s LIB have been predominantly produced by 23

Japanese and Korean companies Driven by the Chinese government particularly cell 24

producers but also companies covering other steps of the LIB value creation chain have been 25

established in China Due to a policy of simultaneous support for LIB production as well as for 26

application markets and due to an extensive subsidy scheme a large share of LIB production 27

capacities is located in China today 28

Figure 31 Figure 32 Figure 33 and Figure 34 show the global LIB production capacities of 29

major cell producers in 2018 as well as forecasts for 2020 2025 and 2030 respectively [36] 30

The data is based on announcements made by the cell producers As discussed in section 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

39

233 the actual time-frame for the implementation of the capacity expansions is often delayed 1

with respect to the original announcements Hence minimum and maximum values for the 2

production capacities are given 3

Figure 34 Global LIB production capacities of major cell producers in 2030 [36] 2

Until 2030 the announced production capacities add up to more than 1 TWh In total there 3

are about 30 cell producers which have announced to build up production capacities of more 4

than 10 GWhyear which can be considered to be a threshold in order to be able to produce 5

at competitve costs [36] If the announced capacities are fully utilized the ldquobig 4rdquo (Panasonic 6

CATL LGC and BYD) will be able to fully cover the market demand (gt550 GWh) until 2025 7

2352 Europes position in the global battery value chain 8

In the EU several actors are positioned which cover production steps along the whole value 9

chain of LIBs starting from raw material production to production of cells and systems and 10

finally recycling However with respect to global markets only few organizations within the EU 11

have a market share of more than 1 in their specific segment eg BASF Germany in the 12

field of electrolyte production [30] 13

An overview about existing and active companies is given by the European Battery Alliance 14

(see Figure 35) Due to the presence of strong automotive OEM LIB pack manufacturing and 15

system integration is taking place on large scale in Europe A particular gap in the value chain 16

is present due to the lack of a large-scale cell production capable of serving the volumes and 17

prices required by the automotive industry 18

Several consortia are currently attempting to build up a European large scale cell 4

manufacturing such as Nothvolt (Sweden) with 32 GWh until 2023 or Saft (together with 5

Siemens and Manz) [39] Recently the German government announced plans for funding of 6

a Batterie-Cell-Alliance between Germany and Poland with cell production capacities in the 7

Regions Lausitz (Germany) and Westpoland [40 41] At the cross section between RampD and 8

large-scale production also a Research Production with 600 Mio EUR funding is foreseen 9

whereas the Fraunhofer Society should coordinate and run such a research production [42] 10

The announced funding from the German government sums up to 2 bn EUR 11

Given all these announced investments and production capacities to build up in the next years 12

the cell production capacities of European cell manufacturers could sum up to over 40 GWh 13

beyond 2025 In contrast main Asian cell manufacturer have already started with cell 14

production (eg LG SDI) or plan to build up production capacities until 2020 to 2025 In 15

concrete there are plans from [43ndash51] 16

17

bull CATL (China) to build 14 GWh in Germany Erfurt beyond 2020 18

bull LG Chem (Japan) to build 15 to 24 GWh (for 03 Mio EVs) in Poland beyond 2020 19

bull Samsung SDI (Japan) to build 10 to 15 GWh beyond 2020 in Hungary (including a 20

recent 5 GWh announcement for 21700 cells for Land Rover 21

bull SK Innovation (Japan) to build 75 GWh in Hungary beyond 2020 22

bull PanasonicTesla to build a (assumed 35GWh) Gigafactory in Europa around 2025 23

bull as well as from BYD (China) GS Yuasa (Japan) and Farasis (US) to build production 24

capacities between 2020 and 2025 25

26

The production capacities from Asian (or non-European) cell manufacturer might sum up to 27

well above 82-96 GWh by 2025 and including BYD GS Yuasa Farasis etc capacities far 28

above 100 GWh can be expected Together with the new EU cell producers this could easily 29

sum up towards the above mentioned 200 GWh demand in Europe But it also clearly indicates 30

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

44

the competition the emerging European players have to face (besides the fact that the plans 1

of the Asian companies are expected to be realized already several years earlier as those of 2

the novel EU companies) 3

2353 Product design trends and technological roadmap 4

Concerning the battery technology or type (by chemistry format etc) which will most likely 5

be produced to address this increasing demand the global roadmaps of cell producers are 6

basically similar Based on state-of-the art cell design (eg LFP NCA based ldquogeneration 1rdquo 7

and NMC111 to NMC532 ldquogeneration 2abrdquo Li-ion batteries) [52] and state-of-the-art 8

production equipment incremental improvements are expected in the next few years but with 9

the target to get to higher-energy lithium-ion batteries Concerning the electrolytes still liquid 10

electrolytes will be used but adopted to the changing electrode materials (eg with additives) 11

Current trends for layered oxide cathodes describe the development of Ni-rich (Co reduced) 12

materials (NMC) A few cell producers are already using NMC811 or comparable cathode 13

materials others are still adopting NMC622 (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3ardquo) On cathode 14

side maybe even lower-cost Mn-rich High Energy NMCs (HE-NMC) might be realized and 15

produced within ~10 years as Mn is cheaper than Ni (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3brdquo) On 16

anode side the trend is to incorporate Si-nano particles to make use of the alloying reaction 17

between Si and Li yielding a high capacitance This however comes at the cost of cycle life 18

Further down the road we might see higher Si contents (~20) 19

20

All-solid-state batteries are on the roadmap of many battery producers but also OEM (also 21

referred to as ldquogeneration 4rdquo) The key performance parameters (KPI) are suitable for electric 22

mobility (EV) Main challenges are indeed manufacturability particularly for ceramic solid state 23

electrolytes which promise to yield the highest advantages over state of the art technologies 24

The market introduction in niche applications is expected possible prior to the use in 25

automotive applications First all-solid-state batteries might not be competitive in terms of 26

energy density but safety properties Later on energy densities of 350-400 Whkg and higher 27

are expected 28

24 Consumer expenditure base data 2

241 General objective of subtask 24 and approach 3

Subtask 24 gives an overview about average production costs and consumer prices incl 4

VAT (for consumer prices streetprice) excl VAT (for B2B products) as well as an estimation 5

of repair and maintenance as well as installation and disposal costs 6

Due to their recent larger scale market introduction there is still little experience with 7

maintenance as well as disposal expenses Hence only estimations can be made based on 8

isolated sources 9

242 Development of LIB cell costs 10

As the core of LIB based energy storage systems the battery cell exhibits the highest cost 11

share During the last years particularly standardized 18650 format LIB cells have 12

experienced a steep cost learning curve benefiting from production scale effects but also 13

from technological advancements on material level increasing the energy density per volume 14

and weight and decreasing the amount of cost intense Cobalt-based components Compared 15

to this benchmark larger format LIB cells (Pouch prismatic) as are utilized in xEVs and ESS 16

predominantly feature lower energy densities at higher cost per kWh There are however no 17

principal limitations which would prevent a performance and cost development similar to what 18

was observed for cylindrical cells Figure 39 shows the cost learning curves for cylindrical as 19

well as larger format LIB cells [33] Today average costs for cells suitable for automotive use 20

are below 150 eurokWh (cylindrical) and around 200 eurokWh (Pouchprismatic) In specific cases 21

prices around 100 eurokWh have been reported already [53] It should however be noted that 22

with the current market situation LIB prices being below costs are not unlikely to occur 23

Until 2025 production costs of the different cell formats are expected to approach and fall 24

below the mark of 100 eurokWh between 2020 and 2025 Taking further developments on 25

material level into account costs around 60-100 eurokWh seam feasible past 2025 26

Figure 39 Cost learning curves for large LIB cells (cylindrical and Pouchprismatic) [33] 3

Similar cost learning curves have been observed for other battery technologies (see Figure 4

40) In principal cost degression can be limited by demand (compare NiCd) or by reaching 5

material cost limits (compare Pb) Also the diffusion of battery technologies in new markets 6

or applications can lead to further technological improvements and justify higher production 7

costs (compare deviation of NiMH Pb) Following the available data for LIB cells approx 100 8

$kWh (~89 eurokWh) are reached at a cumulative yearly production of 1TWh This mark is 9

expected to be reached between 2020 and 2030 10

Beyond 2030 LIB production costs are however expected to start deviating from this curve 11

due to limiting raw material prices 12

2432 ESS 7

According to recent end-customer price data provided in [55] for 2018 typical consumer prices 8

for small scale (~10 kWh) stationary home storage systems are between 5000 and 15000 9

Euros leading to a relative price of 800 to 1200 eurokWh It is expected that these system prices 10

will benefit from the growing battery markets (also xEV) since similar LIB cell types can be 11

applied in both application areas With respect to inverters and other system related costs the 12

smaller market volume of home ESS indicates lower economy of scale effects as compared 13

to cells 14

244 Installation repair and maintenance costs 15

2441 xEV 16

So far no comprehensive information on repair and maintenance costs for the battery system 17

of xEVs are available Due to still rather accommodating service policies repair or 18

replacement of batteries is so far often covered by the manufacturer 19

245 LIB life-cycle disposal and recycling considerations 4

Will be added in a later review 5

2451 Second life and recycling considerations 6

Until today only pilot projects Strategy of automotive OEM regarding second life applications 7

is not known 8

Value of recycled materials can be estimated 9

Three main scenarios possible after end of 1st life (xEV) 10

1 Disposal of batteries (eg separation of liquid and solid components hazardous waste 11

disposal) 12

2 Recycling of batteries and direct regeneration and re-use of cathode materials (2a) or 13

recovery of metals (2b) 14

3 2nd life in ESS applications under limited load (low DOD cycling low power) 15

16

Scenario 1 will add another component to battery costs scenario 2 and 3 could significantly 17

decrease the cost of batteries if energy efficient recycling methods can be developed or viable 18

2nd life business models are established 19

26 Annex 1

2611 Modelling of addressable markets for electric applications 2

Vehicle markets (in units of registrations in the EU28 per year) and ESS markets (in units of 3

number of installed home PV systems or in units of overall renewable (PV wind) electricity 4

generation in the EU28 per year) were modelled by exponential functions 5

119872119905119886119901119901(119905) = 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 6

With Mtapp(t) being the total market volume of an application M0 the market size in 2015 and 7

120591 times 119871119899(2) the time t necessary to double the initial market volume M0 M0 and Tau were chosen 8

to fit existing market data 9

119872119886119901119901(119905) = 119888 times 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 10

With Mapp(t) being the addressable market and c a factor equal or smaller than 1 Parameter 11

c lt 1 was chosen to take into account that not the whole existing market Mtapp might be 12

addressable by electric technologies Eg a share of vehicles primarily used for long distance 13

travel might not be addressable by BEV but by PHEV only 14

The market addressable for passenger PHEV (as a transition technology on the path to full 15

electric vehicles) was modelled as the difference of total vehicle sales and BEV sales 16

119872119875119867119864119881(119905) = 119888 times 119872119905119901119886119904119904119890119899119892119890119903(119905) minus 119878119861119864119881(119905) 17

The market addressable for passenger BEV was modelled like Mapp(t) with c lt 1 18

2612 Modelling of sales numbers of xEV and ESS 19

Yearly sales numbers Sapp(t) for the different applications were modelled by logistic growth 20

functions Logistic functions can model diffusion of technologies into existing markets with a 21

given market volume M The market volume can be a moving target M = M(t) The relative 22

change of sales numbers Srsquoapp(t)Sapp(t) is proportional to the market volume not yet 23

developed by a technology Mapp(t) ndash Sapp(t) 24

119878119886119901119901(119905) = 119872119886119901119901(119905) times1

1 + 119864119909119901(minus119872119886119901119901(119905) times (119905 minus 1199050)120591)(119872119886119901119901(119905)

119878119886119901119901(1199050)minus 1)

25

With Tau being a time constant and Sapp(t0) being the yearly sales number at year t0 (eg 26

2015) 27

Short time constants Tau of few years were used to model ESS sales Due to limitations of 28

the existing electricity grid to only buffer a certain share of fluctuating PV and wind generated 29

electricity the further expansion of renewable electricity generation might be strongly coupled 30

to ESS installations Hence ESS sales were modelled to closely follow the assumed 31

installations of renewable power in the limit of ldquovery fastrdquo market diffusion (120591 rarr 0) 32

2613 Modelling of battery system capacities 33

Battery capacities EBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws In 34

particular BEV battery capacities increased in the last years from 30 kWh in 2013 to more than 35

40 kWh in 2018 (EU sales and production averages) In the long term we expect BEV 36

capacities to converge towards a value sufficient to provide average driving ranges of some 37

100 km Battery capacity growth rates are hence supposed to slow down 38

52

119864119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198640 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 1

With E0 being the average battery capacity in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years and 2

b an exponent lt 1 The parameters were chosen to fit existing data 3

2614 Modelling of battery replacement rates 4

Battery replacement rates RrBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws 5

The replacement rate defines the share of batteries installed in year t that had to be replaced 6

within the lifetime of a system (xEV ESS) In particular for vehicles it is assumed that xEV 7

manufacturers currently install battery cells with a high lifetime and cyclability (several 8

thousand cycles) In the mid-term we expect that battery life and vehicle life (eg 200000 to 9

300000 km) will be matched by car manufacturers Assuming a constant vehicle lifetime 10

battery replacement rates are supposed to increase over time 11

119877119903119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198770 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 12

With R0 being the average replacement rate in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years 13

and b an exponent lt 1 At present there is no data available to fit the parameters Parameters 14

were estimated based on the usage profile and load of different applications 15

2615 Modelling of system lifetimes (xEV ESS) 16

System lifetimes Ltsystem(t) were assumed to be constant Ltsystem(t)= Ltsystem Parameters were 17

estimated based on manufacturer statements and typical lifetimes for combustion powered 18

vehicles 19

2616 Calculation of battery replacements 20

Battery replacements RpBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 21

calculated by assuming a uniform distribution of battery replacements over the lifetime 22

Ltsystem(i) of battery systems installed in year i 23

119877119901119861119886119905119905(119905) = sum119877119903119861119886119905119905(119894) times 119878119886119901119901(119894) times 119864119861119886119905119905(119894)

24

2617 Calculation of battery decommissions 25

Battery decommissions DcBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 26

assumed to happen coincident with the end of life of the systems (Ltsystem) they were installed 27

in in year i This neglects any second life usage in t gt i It was assumed that xEV or ESS 28

manufacturers will tune the battery lifetime to match the system lifetime (see 2614) 29

2618 Calculation of yearly installed battery capacity 31

The yearly installed battery capacity Sbapp(t) in the EU28 was calculated as 32

119878119887119886119901119901(119905) = 119878119886119901119901(119905) times 119864119886119901119901119861119886119905119905(119905) + 119877119901119886119901119901

231 General objective of subtask 23 and approach 4

The following chapter provides a comprehensive market overview on global battery sales 5

demand and players Starting with the market development of Lithium-ion batteries between 6

2010 to 2017 scenarios until 2025 to 2030 are presented including a meta-analysis of several 7

most recent market reports (eg [18ndash27]) Step by step the regional markets and markets by 8

applications will be specified 9

232 Market drivers and CO2 legislation [28] 10

Climate and energy policies are main drivers for the energy future and are expected to lead to 11

an increasing demand for energy storage in the mid and long term (see Figure 24) According 12

to the European Unionacutes decarbonization objective a reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) 13

emissions to 80 ndash 95 below 1990 levels should be achieved by 2050 14

In particular for the transport sector no full decarbonization is achieved [29] even in the longer 15

term (other sectors have to compensate with higher GHG reductions) The overall reduction 16

achieved in the transport sector by 2050 is only around 60 below 1990 levels The 17

increasing trend in emissions seen over the past 20 years is expected to reverse by the CO2 18

legislation From 2020 on the fleet average to be achieved by all new cars is 95 grams of CO2 19

per kilometer (compared to 130 gkm in 2015) 20

Many other governments world-wide have specified CO2 emission targets and are striving 21

towards a low carbon economy Particularly in the field of passenger and commercial vehicles 22

fuel consumption and emission targets have been installed which significantly drive the 23

introduction of battery or fuel cell powered electric vehicles Among these emission policies 24

the targets set by the EU are among the most ambitious (see Table 11) Meeting them will 25

require a significant share of electric vehicles 26

Table 11 Overview about fuel consumption and CO2-emission targets for passenger vehicles 1

of the EU and other countries leading battery and electric mobility markets [30] 2

In this context electric mobility is gaining importance since electric vehicles especially plug-3

in hybrid and pure battery electric vehicles can help to achieve or fulfill these limits due to 4

improved CO2 footprints compared to conventional cars However for low CO2 footprints over 5

the lifetime of electric cars a high share of ldquolow carbonrdquo renewable energy sources (RES) in 6

the energy mix is needed and important (Figure 24 left side) 7

8

Figure 24 Climate and energy policies as drivers for future energy storage demand [28] 9

The EU Energy Roadmap 2050 [31 32] has shown across six scenarios that the 10

decarbonization goal can be achieved if the share of renewable energy sources (RES) among 11

the power generation capacity is high (gt 60 until 2050) for all scenarios Especially for the 12

high RES scenario the share of fluctuating energy generation (wind photovoltaic ndash PV) is the 13

strongest which has to be balanced Grid expansion andor flexibilization measures (eg 14

demand side management power to gas and vehicle to grid besides stationary battery 15

storage) are potential solutions Thus the high RES scenario is the most interesting scenario 16

with respect to a potential future demand for energy storage solutions (ESS) on local 17

distribution and transmission grid levels (Figure 24 right side) In order to have a significant 18

GHG reduction with EVs it will also be important to achieve the RES targets 19

233 The developing battery market 1

The total annual battery market is currently on the level of 45-60 billion Euro representing 2

approximately 400-500 GWh (including Lead-acid Lithium-Ion and other batteries) [33] 3

Lithium-ion batteries (LIB) have succeeded because of their high gravimetric and volumetric 4

energy densities and have a market share of about a third in terms of value among the whole 5

battery market The growth is driven by the decreasing cell costs of less than 170 eurokWh for a 6

standard cylindrical cell (lowest prices) approaching the 90 eurokWh mark in the next years This 7

cost degression is due to increasing capacity demand and production and thus due to scale 8

effects 9

Although the LIB market is drastically growing with annual growth rates of up to 30 percent 10

on average (in terms of battery capacity demand) the dominating battery technology in terms 11

of capacity however are still lead-acid batteries representing about 90 percent of the global 12

demand in volume around 2010 and 80 percent in 2017 13

14

15

Figure 25 Historical development of the global battery demand in GWh (left axis for NiCd 16

NiMH right axis for all other battery types grey total battery demand) [34] 17

Other mature battery technologies like NiCd (still partly used in power tools) and NiMH (still 18

used in hybrid electric vehicles HEV) are slowly declining and are expected to disappear from 19

the market in the next decade The diversification of future battery applications however will 20

also broaden the range of battery technologies Emerging technologies like Na-based Metal-21

Sulfur or Redox Flow batteries are developing and may lead to attractive solutions eg with 22

respect to cost and resource availability advantages However due to very strict requirements 23

on volumetric energy densities these technologies are expected to be relevant for stationary 24

or other special markets and less for the most significant electric vehicle market In general 25

each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses and none of them can satisfy all user 26

demands Hence a broader application-specific technology portfolio is urgently needed in 27

order to provide alternative technology solutions in the future 28

The extremely dynamic development of the global LIB demand will lead to the TWh level latest 29

around 2030 and grow further after 2030 Thus LIB will very soon transform into the 30

dominating energy storage technology 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

34

Figure 26 shows three different scenarios for the global demand for LIB between 2010 and 1

2030 (green curves) along with global production capacities (orange and blue curve)[33] 2

While at the beginning of the decade the demand and sales numbers followed the medium 3

growth rate trend scenario the market has been approaching the high growth rate scenario in 4

the last years This is mainly due to the strong engagement of politics and respective 5

regulation and subsidy programs for electric mobility As can be seen from the graph the 6

share of demand generated by motive applications is expected to significantly grow in the next 7

years and might account for more than one third of the total LIB demand by 2025 8

To face this increasing demand for LIB cells accordingly production capacities need to be 9

build up in the near future Based on the currently existing cell production capacities and the 10

global announcements from established and new cell producers until 2025 the LIB cell 11

production capacities (blue line in 12

Figure 26) have been identified Compared to 15 GWh added production capacity between 13

2013 and 2016 in the next years around 50 GWh will be added annually leading to around 14

700 GWh production capacities until 2025 (in the optimistic case see blue line in 15

Figure 26) The announcements include established players such as Panasonic (JP) LG 16

Chem (KR) Samsung (KR) SKI (KR) BYD (CN) Lishen (CN) CATL (CN) CALB (CN) 17

OPTIMUM (CN) and several further Chinese cell producers Also new players such as TerraE 18

(DE) Northvolt (SW) Boston Energy (US AU) Energy Absolute (Thailand) are included 19

while accounting for the different stages of expansion [20 27] 20

234 Battery markets by application 23

Diversification of applications for batteries 24

The above described global developments of battery demand and production strongly concern 25

high-energy lithium-ion batteries with the cell chemistries NMC NCA (Ni-rich and Co-reduced 26

cathodes) and SiC (high capacity SiC anodes with 5-10 or higher Si content) and cell 27

formats cylindrical (eg larger 21700 compared to standard 18650) large pouch or prismatic 28

cells The target is to develop and produce cells with improved gravimetric and volumetric 29

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

35

energy densities and reduced costs in order to meet the requirements of the automotive 1

industry Electric passenger cars are driving the demand and thus development of the battery 2

technology and these optimized and cost reduced batteries define the benchmark today and 3

in the future 4

LIB demand by applications 5

In Figure 27 the global LIB demand is broken down to the three main sectors for battery 6

demand which can be characterised each having different profiles of requirement 7

bull electric mobility or electric vehicles (EV including eg passenger cars light 8

commercial vehicles buses trucks scooters ebikes etc) 9

bull stationary energy storage systems (ESS) and 10

bull portable devices (3C ndash Computer Communication Consumer) 11

The LIB cell demand developed to almost 25 GWh in 2010 since the market introduction in 12

the early 1990s and dominantly resulted from portable devices In 2015 the cell demand of 13

about 70 GWh was distributed already almost 5050 between 3C and EV applications 14

15

Figure 27 Global LIB demand (in GWh and share in ) by segment [34] 16

Since 2015 the global LIB demand has increased with compound annual growth rates 17

(CAGR) of ~25 from about 70 GWh to about 110 GWh in 2017 The market for electric 18

vehicles currently grows with 30-40 (and more depending on the application and region) and 19

a diversification in applications (eg buses trucks other light to heavy commercial vehicles 20

marine applications drones etc) can be observed 21

With the diversification of future markets and applications cost sensitive markets will arise for 22

which optimized high-energy and cost reduced automotive cells of certain cell formats will be 23

used However also applications with stronger requirements on long lifetime high cycleability 24

fast charging capability safety etc will emerge and diffuse where cost is not the most 25

relevant factor and other battery technologies (ie cell chemistries formats) can provide a 26

unique selling proposition and hence lead to a product differentiation 27

2341 LIB markets for 3C applications 28

Portable devices (3C) have been the main applications for LIB cells in the past Power tools 29

medical devices and wearables are expected to be products with an emerging future market 30

for small LIB cells but with enormous quantities The price per kWh that can be stored plays a 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

36

less important role for these applications As far as charging is concerned technologies such 1

as energy harvesting and wireless charging are expected to be introduced in the future For 2

many markets and products such as household devices garden cleaning power tools other 3

mobile leisure applications etc today mostly cylindrical LIB cells of the format 18650 are used 4

With the introduction of 21700 cells also larger cylindrical cells become available now and are 5

expected to be used in diffuse in such applications Although different specific cell chemistries 6

might be suitable depending on the concrete application again it can be stated that the 3C 7

segment is expected to lead to a comparably small battery capacity demand compared to the 8

EV segment and will not be the limiting segment with respect to the risk of resource 9

dependencies 10

In the next few years growth rates of about 5 to 10 percent are expected for the 3C markets 11

while laptop battery demand is developing at lower growth rates and power tools medical 12

devices etc are supporting the growth rates for the battery demand 13

14

15

Figure 28 Demand and growth of the 3C LIB market [34] 16

2342 LIB markets for stationary (ESS) applications 17

Stationary energy storage systems (ESS) can be divided into different size classes with regard 18

to the capacity and charging times Both together decide on the application area (eg small 19

PV storage at home peak load to long-term storage) [35] Beyond that the price per kWh put 20

through over the lifetime is the economic key factor (as synthesized by the LCOE levelized 21

cost of energy) In contrast gravimetric and volumetric energy density plays a subordinate 22

role Due to that lead-acid batteries were often used as storage technology for off- and on-23

grid storage Currently LIBs are being established for commercial use and meanwhile reach 24

an annual demand of some few GWh Other electrochemical storage technologies such as 25

sodium-sulfur batteries are still used but the demand for LIB is strongly increasing for ESS It 26

is expected that 2nd life concepts for batteries that had their first life in electric vehicles will 27

gain importance together with market diffusion in the EV segment as the requirements on the 28

batteries are less demanding in the ESS segment This however will require the development 29

of according business models standardization etc The much broader available technology 30

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

37

portfolio for ESS applications the use of 2nd life batteries and the fact that electric vehicle 1

batteries that are connected to the grid on a large scale with higher market diffusion can be 2

regarded as stationary storage systems as well (vehicle to grid V2G grid to vehicle G2V) help 3

to reduce the risk of technological and resource dependencies in the future 4

The market for stationary storage applications (ESS) is experiencing growth rates of 20 to 30 5

percent depending on individual market forecasts (in the last years CAGR have even been on 6

the level of 60 but decrease with increasing size of the market see Figure 29) 7

The market is currently on a level of few GWh including applications from smaller PV storage 8

systems of 5-10 kWh to larger industrial and grid connected installations for own power 9

consumption peak shaving etc on the MWh level Regarding these growth rates LIB for ESS 10

applications rapidly gain importance as de-central storage solutions compared to the currently 11

dominating central pumped hydro storage (PHS) Forecasts to 2025 differ by size and expect 12

an ESS LIB demand between 20-50 GWh (partially higher eg in [23]) but all forecasts identify 13

high growth rates 14

15

Figure 29 Demand and growth of the ESS LIB market [34] 16

17

2343 LIB markets for electric vehicle applications 18

One of the biggest challenges for batteries for electric vehicles (EV including electric cars 19

buses trucks etc) apart from their price is the increase of their volumetric and gravimetric 20

energy density The volumetric energy density is even more important for OEM due to 21

restricted and fixed space and location of the battery in an electric vehicle A very relevant 22

parameter of a battery is its charging and discharging power in particular in continuous 23

operation It determines the fast-charging capability which is an important argument in the 24

use and the establishment on the market At the same time this sets limits to the high-25

performance operation since energy consumption is reduced to protect the battery from 26

damage This illustrates the conflicting effect of different parameters on the battery lifetime 27

Price volume weight and thus charge density as well as chargedischarge rate in terms of 28

usage and durability are the most urgent challenges for battery manufacturers 29

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

38

The market for EV batteries is currently at the level of about 50 GWh (including electric 1

passenger cars busses trucks ebikes scooter forklifts etc) Growth rates are at 20 to 40 2

percent and the demand for EV batteries will lead to a share of about 66 percent in 2020 76 3

percent until 2025 and 80 percent or higher in the long term Electric passenger cars (BEV 4

and PHEV) define the by far largest market within the EV segment and are clearly driving the 5

technology development of high energy Lithium-Ion or Lithium-based batteries in the future 6

7

Figure 30 Demand and growth of the EV LIB market [34] 8

9

Other motive (or stationary or portable) markets applications besides the highly competitive 10

electric passenger cars therefore can offer interesting growth markets also for smaller cell 11

producers beyond the large Japanese Korean and Chinese cell producers These markets or 12

applications very often define concrete requirements for the battery performance they require 13

an in depth understanding and design from the cell chemistry format to the modulepack and 14

system integration and they still vary strongly by region and are connected to individual system 15

integrators or OEM This is because each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses 16

and none of them can satisfy all userapplication demands Hence a broader application 17

specific technology portfolio is even urgently needed in order to provide alternative individual 18

technology solutions for these emerging marketsapplications 19

20

235 Market channels and production structure 21

2351 Global production capacities and major players 22

Since their commercialization in the 1990s LIB have been predominantly produced by 23

Japanese and Korean companies Driven by the Chinese government particularly cell 24

producers but also companies covering other steps of the LIB value creation chain have been 25

established in China Due to a policy of simultaneous support for LIB production as well as for 26

application markets and due to an extensive subsidy scheme a large share of LIB production 27

capacities is located in China today 28

Figure 31 Figure 32 Figure 33 and Figure 34 show the global LIB production capacities of 29

major cell producers in 2018 as well as forecasts for 2020 2025 and 2030 respectively [36] 30

The data is based on announcements made by the cell producers As discussed in section 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

39

233 the actual time-frame for the implementation of the capacity expansions is often delayed 1

with respect to the original announcements Hence minimum and maximum values for the 2

production capacities are given 3

Figure 34 Global LIB production capacities of major cell producers in 2030 [36] 2

Until 2030 the announced production capacities add up to more than 1 TWh In total there 3

are about 30 cell producers which have announced to build up production capacities of more 4

than 10 GWhyear which can be considered to be a threshold in order to be able to produce 5

at competitve costs [36] If the announced capacities are fully utilized the ldquobig 4rdquo (Panasonic 6

CATL LGC and BYD) will be able to fully cover the market demand (gt550 GWh) until 2025 7

2352 Europes position in the global battery value chain 8

In the EU several actors are positioned which cover production steps along the whole value 9

chain of LIBs starting from raw material production to production of cells and systems and 10

finally recycling However with respect to global markets only few organizations within the EU 11

have a market share of more than 1 in their specific segment eg BASF Germany in the 12

field of electrolyte production [30] 13

An overview about existing and active companies is given by the European Battery Alliance 14

(see Figure 35) Due to the presence of strong automotive OEM LIB pack manufacturing and 15

system integration is taking place on large scale in Europe A particular gap in the value chain 16

is present due to the lack of a large-scale cell production capable of serving the volumes and 17

prices required by the automotive industry 18

Several consortia are currently attempting to build up a European large scale cell 4

manufacturing such as Nothvolt (Sweden) with 32 GWh until 2023 or Saft (together with 5

Siemens and Manz) [39] Recently the German government announced plans for funding of 6

a Batterie-Cell-Alliance between Germany and Poland with cell production capacities in the 7

Regions Lausitz (Germany) and Westpoland [40 41] At the cross section between RampD and 8

large-scale production also a Research Production with 600 Mio EUR funding is foreseen 9

whereas the Fraunhofer Society should coordinate and run such a research production [42] 10

The announced funding from the German government sums up to 2 bn EUR 11

Given all these announced investments and production capacities to build up in the next years 12

the cell production capacities of European cell manufacturers could sum up to over 40 GWh 13

beyond 2025 In contrast main Asian cell manufacturer have already started with cell 14

production (eg LG SDI) or plan to build up production capacities until 2020 to 2025 In 15

concrete there are plans from [43ndash51] 16

17

bull CATL (China) to build 14 GWh in Germany Erfurt beyond 2020 18

bull LG Chem (Japan) to build 15 to 24 GWh (for 03 Mio EVs) in Poland beyond 2020 19

bull Samsung SDI (Japan) to build 10 to 15 GWh beyond 2020 in Hungary (including a 20

recent 5 GWh announcement for 21700 cells for Land Rover 21

bull SK Innovation (Japan) to build 75 GWh in Hungary beyond 2020 22

bull PanasonicTesla to build a (assumed 35GWh) Gigafactory in Europa around 2025 23

bull as well as from BYD (China) GS Yuasa (Japan) and Farasis (US) to build production 24

capacities between 2020 and 2025 25

26

The production capacities from Asian (or non-European) cell manufacturer might sum up to 27

well above 82-96 GWh by 2025 and including BYD GS Yuasa Farasis etc capacities far 28

above 100 GWh can be expected Together with the new EU cell producers this could easily 29

sum up towards the above mentioned 200 GWh demand in Europe But it also clearly indicates 30

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

44

the competition the emerging European players have to face (besides the fact that the plans 1

of the Asian companies are expected to be realized already several years earlier as those of 2

the novel EU companies) 3

2353 Product design trends and technological roadmap 4

Concerning the battery technology or type (by chemistry format etc) which will most likely 5

be produced to address this increasing demand the global roadmaps of cell producers are 6

basically similar Based on state-of-the art cell design (eg LFP NCA based ldquogeneration 1rdquo 7

and NMC111 to NMC532 ldquogeneration 2abrdquo Li-ion batteries) [52] and state-of-the-art 8

production equipment incremental improvements are expected in the next few years but with 9

the target to get to higher-energy lithium-ion batteries Concerning the electrolytes still liquid 10

electrolytes will be used but adopted to the changing electrode materials (eg with additives) 11

Current trends for layered oxide cathodes describe the development of Ni-rich (Co reduced) 12

materials (NMC) A few cell producers are already using NMC811 or comparable cathode 13

materials others are still adopting NMC622 (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3ardquo) On cathode 14

side maybe even lower-cost Mn-rich High Energy NMCs (HE-NMC) might be realized and 15

produced within ~10 years as Mn is cheaper than Ni (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3brdquo) On 16

anode side the trend is to incorporate Si-nano particles to make use of the alloying reaction 17

between Si and Li yielding a high capacitance This however comes at the cost of cycle life 18

Further down the road we might see higher Si contents (~20) 19

20

All-solid-state batteries are on the roadmap of many battery producers but also OEM (also 21

referred to as ldquogeneration 4rdquo) The key performance parameters (KPI) are suitable for electric 22

mobility (EV) Main challenges are indeed manufacturability particularly for ceramic solid state 23

electrolytes which promise to yield the highest advantages over state of the art technologies 24

The market introduction in niche applications is expected possible prior to the use in 25

automotive applications First all-solid-state batteries might not be competitive in terms of 26

energy density but safety properties Later on energy densities of 350-400 Whkg and higher 27

are expected 28

Li-ion batteries but (according to the current level of knowledge) do not reach the necessary 5

KPIs in terms of energy density power density and cycling stability necessary for electric 6

mobility (these are marked in grey) USPs of these technologies can be cost resource 7

availability either volumetric or gravimetric energy density or others But often even 8

fundamental challenges are not solved yet (eg concerning the stability of materials and 9

24 Consumer expenditure base data 2

241 General objective of subtask 24 and approach 3

Subtask 24 gives an overview about average production costs and consumer prices incl 4

VAT (for consumer prices streetprice) excl VAT (for B2B products) as well as an estimation 5

of repair and maintenance as well as installation and disposal costs 6

Due to their recent larger scale market introduction there is still little experience with 7

maintenance as well as disposal expenses Hence only estimations can be made based on 8

isolated sources 9

242 Development of LIB cell costs 10

As the core of LIB based energy storage systems the battery cell exhibits the highest cost 11

share During the last years particularly standardized 18650 format LIB cells have 12

experienced a steep cost learning curve benefiting from production scale effects but also 13

from technological advancements on material level increasing the energy density per volume 14

and weight and decreasing the amount of cost intense Cobalt-based components Compared 15

to this benchmark larger format LIB cells (Pouch prismatic) as are utilized in xEVs and ESS 16

predominantly feature lower energy densities at higher cost per kWh There are however no 17

principal limitations which would prevent a performance and cost development similar to what 18

was observed for cylindrical cells Figure 39 shows the cost learning curves for cylindrical as 19

well as larger format LIB cells [33] Today average costs for cells suitable for automotive use 20

are below 150 eurokWh (cylindrical) and around 200 eurokWh (Pouchprismatic) In specific cases 21

prices around 100 eurokWh have been reported already [53] It should however be noted that 22

with the current market situation LIB prices being below costs are not unlikely to occur 23

Until 2025 production costs of the different cell formats are expected to approach and fall 24

below the mark of 100 eurokWh between 2020 and 2025 Taking further developments on 25

material level into account costs around 60-100 eurokWh seam feasible past 2025 26

Figure 39 Cost learning curves for large LIB cells (cylindrical and Pouchprismatic) [33] 3

Similar cost learning curves have been observed for other battery technologies (see Figure 4

40) In principal cost degression can be limited by demand (compare NiCd) or by reaching 5

material cost limits (compare Pb) Also the diffusion of battery technologies in new markets 6

or applications can lead to further technological improvements and justify higher production 7

costs (compare deviation of NiMH Pb) Following the available data for LIB cells approx 100 8

$kWh (~89 eurokWh) are reached at a cumulative yearly production of 1TWh This mark is 9

expected to be reached between 2020 and 2030 10

Beyond 2030 LIB production costs are however expected to start deviating from this curve 11

due to limiting raw material prices 12

Will be added in a later review 6

2432 ESS 7

According to recent end-customer price data provided in [55] for 2018 typical consumer prices 8

for small scale (~10 kWh) stationary home storage systems are between 5000 and 15000 9

Euros leading to a relative price of 800 to 1200 eurokWh It is expected that these system prices 10

will benefit from the growing battery markets (also xEV) since similar LIB cell types can be 11

applied in both application areas With respect to inverters and other system related costs the 12

smaller market volume of home ESS indicates lower economy of scale effects as compared 13

to cells 14

So far no comprehensive information on repair and maintenance costs for the battery system 17

of xEVs are available Due to still rather accommodating service policies repair or 18

replacement of batteries is so far often covered by the manufacturer 19

2451 Second life and recycling considerations 6

Until today only pilot projects Strategy of automotive OEM regarding second life applications 7

is not known 8

Value of recycled materials can be estimated 9

Three main scenarios possible after end of 1st life (xEV) 10

1 Disposal of batteries (eg separation of liquid and solid components hazardous waste 11

disposal) 12

2 Recycling of batteries and direct regeneration and re-use of cathode materials (2a) or 13

recovery of metals (2b) 14

3 2nd life in ESS applications under limited load (low DOD cycling low power) 15

16

Scenario 1 will add another component to battery costs scenario 2 and 3 could significantly 17

decrease the cost of batteries if energy efficient recycling methods can be developed or viable 18

2nd life business models are established 19

26 Annex 1

2611 Modelling of addressable markets for electric applications 2

Vehicle markets (in units of registrations in the EU28 per year) and ESS markets (in units of 3

number of installed home PV systems or in units of overall renewable (PV wind) electricity 4

generation in the EU28 per year) were modelled by exponential functions 5

119872119905119886119901119901(119905) = 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 6

With Mtapp(t) being the total market volume of an application M0 the market size in 2015 and 7

120591 times 119871119899(2) the time t necessary to double the initial market volume M0 M0 and Tau were chosen 8

to fit existing market data 9

119872119886119901119901(119905) = 119888 times 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 10

With Mapp(t) being the addressable market and c a factor equal or smaller than 1 Parameter 11

c lt 1 was chosen to take into account that not the whole existing market Mtapp might be 12

addressable by electric technologies Eg a share of vehicles primarily used for long distance 13

travel might not be addressable by BEV but by PHEV only 14

The market addressable for passenger PHEV (as a transition technology on the path to full 15

electric vehicles) was modelled as the difference of total vehicle sales and BEV sales 16

119872119875119867119864119881(119905) = 119888 times 119872119905119901119886119904119904119890119899119892119890119903(119905) minus 119878119861119864119881(119905) 17

The market addressable for passenger BEV was modelled like Mapp(t) with c lt 1 18

2612 Modelling of sales numbers of xEV and ESS 19

Yearly sales numbers Sapp(t) for the different applications were modelled by logistic growth 20

functions Logistic functions can model diffusion of technologies into existing markets with a 21

given market volume M The market volume can be a moving target M = M(t) The relative 22

change of sales numbers Srsquoapp(t)Sapp(t) is proportional to the market volume not yet 23

developed by a technology Mapp(t) ndash Sapp(t) 24

119878119886119901119901(119905) = 119872119886119901119901(119905) times1

1 + 119864119909119901(minus119872119886119901119901(119905) times (119905 minus 1199050)120591)(119872119886119901119901(119905)

119878119886119901119901(1199050)minus 1)

25

With Tau being a time constant and Sapp(t0) being the yearly sales number at year t0 (eg 26

2015) 27

Short time constants Tau of few years were used to model ESS sales Due to limitations of 28

the existing electricity grid to only buffer a certain share of fluctuating PV and wind generated 29

electricity the further expansion of renewable electricity generation might be strongly coupled 30

to ESS installations Hence ESS sales were modelled to closely follow the assumed 31

installations of renewable power in the limit of ldquovery fastrdquo market diffusion (120591 rarr 0) 32

2613 Modelling of battery system capacities 33

Battery capacities EBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws In 34

particular BEV battery capacities increased in the last years from 30 kWh in 2013 to more than 35

40 kWh in 2018 (EU sales and production averages) In the long term we expect BEV 36

capacities to converge towards a value sufficient to provide average driving ranges of some 37

100 km Battery capacity growth rates are hence supposed to slow down 38

119864119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198640 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 1

With E0 being the average battery capacity in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years and 2

b an exponent lt 1 The parameters were chosen to fit existing data 3

2614 Modelling of battery replacement rates 4

Battery replacement rates RrBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws 5

The replacement rate defines the share of batteries installed in year t that had to be replaced 6

within the lifetime of a system (xEV ESS) In particular for vehicles it is assumed that xEV 7

manufacturers currently install battery cells with a high lifetime and cyclability (several 8

thousand cycles) In the mid-term we expect that battery life and vehicle life (eg 200000 to 9

300000 km) will be matched by car manufacturers Assuming a constant vehicle lifetime 10

battery replacement rates are supposed to increase over time 11

119877119903119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198770 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 12

With R0 being the average replacement rate in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years 13

and b an exponent lt 1 At present there is no data available to fit the parameters Parameters 14

were estimated based on the usage profile and load of different applications 15

2615 Modelling of system lifetimes (xEV ESS) 16

System lifetimes Ltsystem(t) were assumed to be constant Ltsystem(t)= Ltsystem Parameters were 17

estimated based on manufacturer statements and typical lifetimes for combustion powered 18

vehicles 19

2616 Calculation of battery replacements 20

Battery replacements RpBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 21

calculated by assuming a uniform distribution of battery replacements over the lifetime 22

Ltsystem(i) of battery systems installed in year i 23

119877119901119861119886119905119905(119905) = sum119877119903119861119886119905119905(119894) times 119878119886119901119901(119894) times 119864119861119886119905119905(119894)

24

2617 Calculation of battery decommissions 25

Battery decommissions DcBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 26

assumed to happen coincident with the end of life of the systems (Ltsystem) they were installed 27

in in year i This neglects any second life usage in t gt i It was assumed that xEV or ESS 28

manufacturers will tune the battery lifetime to match the system lifetime (see 2614) 29

2618 Calculation of yearly installed battery capacity 31

The yearly installed battery capacity Sbapp(t) in the EU28 was calculated as 32

119878119887119886119901119901(119905) = 119878119886119901119901(119905) times 119864119886119901119901119861119886119905119905(119905) + 119877119901119886119901119901

Table 11 Overview about fuel consumption and CO2-emission targets for passenger vehicles 1

of the EU and other countries leading battery and electric mobility markets [30] 2

In this context electric mobility is gaining importance since electric vehicles especially plug-3

in hybrid and pure battery electric vehicles can help to achieve or fulfill these limits due to 4

improved CO2 footprints compared to conventional cars However for low CO2 footprints over 5

the lifetime of electric cars a high share of ldquolow carbonrdquo renewable energy sources (RES) in 6

the energy mix is needed and important (Figure 24 left side) 7

8

Figure 24 Climate and energy policies as drivers for future energy storage demand [28] 9

The EU Energy Roadmap 2050 [31 32] has shown across six scenarios that the 10

decarbonization goal can be achieved if the share of renewable energy sources (RES) among 11

the power generation capacity is high (gt 60 until 2050) for all scenarios Especially for the 12

high RES scenario the share of fluctuating energy generation (wind photovoltaic ndash PV) is the 13

strongest which has to be balanced Grid expansion andor flexibilization measures (eg 14

demand side management power to gas and vehicle to grid besides stationary battery 15

storage) are potential solutions Thus the high RES scenario is the most interesting scenario 16

with respect to a potential future demand for energy storage solutions (ESS) on local 17

distribution and transmission grid levels (Figure 24 right side) In order to have a significant 18

GHG reduction with EVs it will also be important to achieve the RES targets 19

233 The developing battery market 1

The total annual battery market is currently on the level of 45-60 billion Euro representing 2

approximately 400-500 GWh (including Lead-acid Lithium-Ion and other batteries) [33] 3

Lithium-ion batteries (LIB) have succeeded because of their high gravimetric and volumetric 4

energy densities and have a market share of about a third in terms of value among the whole 5

battery market The growth is driven by the decreasing cell costs of less than 170 eurokWh for a 6

standard cylindrical cell (lowest prices) approaching the 90 eurokWh mark in the next years This 7

cost degression is due to increasing capacity demand and production and thus due to scale 8

effects 9

Although the LIB market is drastically growing with annual growth rates of up to 30 percent 10

on average (in terms of battery capacity demand) the dominating battery technology in terms 11

of capacity however are still lead-acid batteries representing about 90 percent of the global 12

demand in volume around 2010 and 80 percent in 2017 13

14

15

Figure 25 Historical development of the global battery demand in GWh (left axis for NiCd 16

NiMH right axis for all other battery types grey total battery demand) [34] 17

Other mature battery technologies like NiCd (still partly used in power tools) and NiMH (still 18

used in hybrid electric vehicles HEV) are slowly declining and are expected to disappear from 19

the market in the next decade The diversification of future battery applications however will 20

also broaden the range of battery technologies Emerging technologies like Na-based Metal-21

Sulfur or Redox Flow batteries are developing and may lead to attractive solutions eg with 22

respect to cost and resource availability advantages However due to very strict requirements 23

on volumetric energy densities these technologies are expected to be relevant for stationary 24

or other special markets and less for the most significant electric vehicle market In general 25

each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses and none of them can satisfy all user 26

demands Hence a broader application-specific technology portfolio is urgently needed in 27

order to provide alternative technology solutions in the future 28

The extremely dynamic development of the global LIB demand will lead to the TWh level latest 29

around 2030 and grow further after 2030 Thus LIB will very soon transform into the 30

dominating energy storage technology 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

34

Figure 26 shows three different scenarios for the global demand for LIB between 2010 and 1

2030 (green curves) along with global production capacities (orange and blue curve)[33] 2

While at the beginning of the decade the demand and sales numbers followed the medium 3

growth rate trend scenario the market has been approaching the high growth rate scenario in 4

the last years This is mainly due to the strong engagement of politics and respective 5

regulation and subsidy programs for electric mobility As can be seen from the graph the 6

share of demand generated by motive applications is expected to significantly grow in the next 7

years and might account for more than one third of the total LIB demand by 2025 8

To face this increasing demand for LIB cells accordingly production capacities need to be 9

build up in the near future Based on the currently existing cell production capacities and the 10

global announcements from established and new cell producers until 2025 the LIB cell 11

production capacities (blue line in 12

Figure 26) have been identified Compared to 15 GWh added production capacity between 13

2013 and 2016 in the next years around 50 GWh will be added annually leading to around 14

while accounting for the different stages of expansion [20 27] 20

234 Battery markets by application 23

Diversification of applications for batteries 24

The above described global developments of battery demand and production strongly concern 25

high-energy lithium-ion batteries with the cell chemistries NMC NCA (Ni-rich and Co-reduced 26

cathodes) and SiC (high capacity SiC anodes with 5-10 or higher Si content) and cell 27

formats cylindrical (eg larger 21700 compared to standard 18650) large pouch or prismatic 28

cells The target is to develop and produce cells with improved gravimetric and volumetric 29

35

energy densities and reduced costs in order to meet the requirements of the automotive 1

industry Electric passenger cars are driving the demand and thus development of the battery 2

technology and these optimized and cost reduced batteries define the benchmark today and 3

in the future 4

LIB demand by applications 5

In Figure 27 the global LIB demand is broken down to the three main sectors for battery 6

demand which can be characterised each having different profiles of requirement 7

bull electric mobility or electric vehicles (EV including eg passenger cars light 8

commercial vehicles buses trucks scooters ebikes etc) 9

bull stationary energy storage systems (ESS) and 10

bull portable devices (3C ndash Computer Communication Consumer) 11

The LIB cell demand developed to almost 25 GWh in 2010 since the market introduction in 12

the early 1990s and dominantly resulted from portable devices In 2015 the cell demand of 13

about 70 GWh was distributed already almost 5050 between 3C and EV applications 14

15

Figure 27 Global LIB demand (in GWh and share in ) by segment [34] 16

Since 2015 the global LIB demand has increased with compound annual growth rates 17

(CAGR) of ~25 from about 70 GWh to about 110 GWh in 2017 The market for electric 18

vehicles currently grows with 30-40 (and more depending on the application and region) and 19

a diversification in applications (eg buses trucks other light to heavy commercial vehicles 20

marine applications drones etc) can be observed 21

With the diversification of future markets and applications cost sensitive markets will arise for 22

which optimized high-energy and cost reduced automotive cells of certain cell formats will be 23

used However also applications with stronger requirements on long lifetime high cycleability 24

fast charging capability safety etc will emerge and diffuse where cost is not the most 25

relevant factor and other battery technologies (ie cell chemistries formats) can provide a 26

unique selling proposition and hence lead to a product differentiation 27

2341 LIB markets for 3C applications 28

Portable devices (3C) have been the main applications for LIB cells in the past Power tools 29

medical devices and wearables are expected to be products with an emerging future market 30

for small LIB cells but with enormous quantities The price per kWh that can be stored plays a 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

36

less important role for these applications As far as charging is concerned technologies such 1

as energy harvesting and wireless charging are expected to be introduced in the future For 2

many markets and products such as household devices garden cleaning power tools other 3

mobile leisure applications etc today mostly cylindrical LIB cells of the format 18650 are used 4

With the introduction of 21700 cells also larger cylindrical cells become available now and are 5

expected to be used in diffuse in such applications Although different specific cell chemistries 6

might be suitable depending on the concrete application again it can be stated that the 3C 7

segment is expected to lead to a comparably small battery capacity demand compared to the 8

EV segment and will not be the limiting segment with respect to the risk of resource 9

dependencies 10

In the next few years growth rates of about 5 to 10 percent are expected for the 3C markets 11

while laptop battery demand is developing at lower growth rates and power tools medical 12

devices etc are supporting the growth rates for the battery demand 13

14

Figure 28 Demand and growth of the 3C LIB market [34] 16

2342 LIB markets for stationary (ESS) applications 17

Stationary energy storage systems (ESS) can be divided into different size classes with regard 18

to the capacity and charging times Both together decide on the application area (eg small 19

PV storage at home peak load to long-term storage) [35] Beyond that the price per kWh put 20

through over the lifetime is the economic key factor (as synthesized by the LCOE levelized 21

cost of energy) In contrast gravimetric and volumetric energy density plays a subordinate 22

role Due to that lead-acid batteries were often used as storage technology for off- and on-23

grid storage Currently LIBs are being established for commercial use and meanwhile reach 24

an annual demand of some few GWh Other electrochemical storage technologies such as 25

sodium-sulfur batteries are still used but the demand for LIB is strongly increasing for ESS It 26

is expected that 2nd life concepts for batteries that had their first life in electric vehicles will 27

gain importance together with market diffusion in the EV segment as the requirements on the 28

batteries are less demanding in the ESS segment This however will require the development 29

of according business models standardization etc The much broader available technology 30

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

37

portfolio for ESS applications the use of 2nd life batteries and the fact that electric vehicle 1

batteries that are connected to the grid on a large scale with higher market diffusion can be 2

regarded as stationary storage systems as well (vehicle to grid V2G grid to vehicle G2V) help 3

to reduce the risk of technological and resource dependencies in the future 4

The market for stationary storage applications (ESS) is experiencing growth rates of 20 to 30 5

percent depending on individual market forecasts (in the last years CAGR have even been on 6

the level of 60 but decrease with increasing size of the market see Figure 29) 7

The market is currently on a level of few GWh including applications from smaller PV storage 8

systems of 5-10 kWh to larger industrial and grid connected installations for own power 9

consumption peak shaving etc on the MWh level Regarding these growth rates LIB for ESS 10

applications rapidly gain importance as de-central storage solutions compared to the currently 11

dominating central pumped hydro storage (PHS) Forecasts to 2025 differ by size and expect 12

an ESS LIB demand between 20-50 GWh (partially higher eg in [23]) but all forecasts identify 13

high growth rates 14

15

17

2343 LIB markets for electric vehicle applications 18

One of the biggest challenges for batteries for electric vehicles (EV including electric cars 19

buses trucks etc) apart from their price is the increase of their volumetric and gravimetric 20

energy density The volumetric energy density is even more important for OEM due to 21

restricted and fixed space and location of the battery in an electric vehicle A very relevant 22

parameter of a battery is its charging and discharging power in particular in continuous 23

operation It determines the fast-charging capability which is an important argument in the 24

use and the establishment on the market At the same time this sets limits to the high-25

performance operation since energy consumption is reduced to protect the battery from 26

damage This illustrates the conflicting effect of different parameters on the battery lifetime 27

Price volume weight and thus charge density as well as chargedischarge rate in terms of 28

usage and durability are the most urgent challenges for battery manufacturers 29

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

38

The market for EV batteries is currently at the level of about 50 GWh (including electric 1

passenger cars busses trucks ebikes scooter forklifts etc) Growth rates are at 20 to 40 2

percent and the demand for EV batteries will lead to a share of about 66 percent in 2020 76 3

percent until 2025 and 80 percent or higher in the long term Electric passenger cars (BEV 4

and PHEV) define the by far largest market within the EV segment and are clearly driving the 5

technology development of high energy Lithium-Ion or Lithium-based batteries in the future 6

7

Figure 30 Demand and growth of the EV LIB market [34] 8

9

Other motive (or stationary or portable) markets applications besides the highly competitive 10

electric passenger cars therefore can offer interesting growth markets also for smaller cell 11

producers beyond the large Japanese Korean and Chinese cell producers These markets or 12

applications very often define concrete requirements for the battery performance they require 13

an in depth understanding and design from the cell chemistry format to the modulepack and 14

system integration and they still vary strongly by region and are connected to individual system 15

integrators or OEM This is because each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses 16

and none of them can satisfy all userapplication demands Hence a broader application 17

specific technology portfolio is even urgently needed in order to provide alternative individual 18

technology solutions for these emerging marketsapplications 19

20

235 Market channels and production structure 21

2351 Global production capacities and major players 22

Since their commercialization in the 1990s LIB have been predominantly produced by 23

Japanese and Korean companies Driven by the Chinese government particularly cell 24

producers but also companies covering other steps of the LIB value creation chain have been 25

established in China Due to a policy of simultaneous support for LIB production as well as for 26

application markets and due to an extensive subsidy scheme a large share of LIB production 27

capacities is located in China today 28

Figure 31 Figure 32 Figure 33 and Figure 34 show the global LIB production capacities of 29

major cell producers in 2018 as well as forecasts for 2020 2025 and 2030 respectively [36] 30

The data is based on announcements made by the cell producers As discussed in section 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

39

233 the actual time-frame for the implementation of the capacity expansions is often delayed 1

with respect to the original announcements Hence minimum and maximum values for the 2

production capacities are given 3

Figure 34 Global LIB production capacities of major cell producers in 2030 [36] 2

Until 2030 the announced production capacities add up to more than 1 TWh In total there 3

are about 30 cell producers which have announced to build up production capacities of more 4

than 10 GWhyear which can be considered to be a threshold in order to be able to produce 5

at competitve costs [36] If the announced capacities are fully utilized the ldquobig 4rdquo (Panasonic 6

CATL LGC and BYD) will be able to fully cover the market demand (gt550 GWh) until 2025 7

2352 Europes position in the global battery value chain 8

In the EU several actors are positioned which cover production steps along the whole value 9

chain of LIBs starting from raw material production to production of cells and systems and 10

finally recycling However with respect to global markets only few organizations within the EU 11

have a market share of more than 1 in their specific segment eg BASF Germany in the 12

field of electrolyte production [30] 13

An overview about existing and active companies is given by the European Battery Alliance 14

(see Figure 35) Due to the presence of strong automotive OEM LIB pack manufacturing and 15

system integration is taking place on large scale in Europe A particular gap in the value chain 16

is present due to the lack of a large-scale cell production capable of serving the volumes and 17

prices required by the automotive industry 18

3

Several consortia are currently attempting to build up a European large scale cell 4

manufacturing such as Nothvolt (Sweden) with 32 GWh until 2023 or Saft (together with 5

Siemens and Manz) [39] Recently the German government announced plans for funding of 6

a Batterie-Cell-Alliance between Germany and Poland with cell production capacities in the 7

Regions Lausitz (Germany) and Westpoland [40 41] At the cross section between RampD and 8

large-scale production also a Research Production with 600 Mio EUR funding is foreseen 9

whereas the Fraunhofer Society should coordinate and run such a research production [42] 10

The announced funding from the German government sums up to 2 bn EUR 11

Given all these announced investments and production capacities to build up in the next years 12

the cell production capacities of European cell manufacturers could sum up to over 40 GWh 13

beyond 2025 In contrast main Asian cell manufacturer have already started with cell 14

production (eg LG SDI) or plan to build up production capacities until 2020 to 2025 In 15

concrete there are plans from [43ndash51] 16

17

bull CATL (China) to build 14 GWh in Germany Erfurt beyond 2020 18

bull LG Chem (Japan) to build 15 to 24 GWh (for 03 Mio EVs) in Poland beyond 2020 19

bull Samsung SDI (Japan) to build 10 to 15 GWh beyond 2020 in Hungary (including a 20

recent 5 GWh announcement for 21700 cells for Land Rover 21

bull SK Innovation (Japan) to build 75 GWh in Hungary beyond 2020 22

bull PanasonicTesla to build a (assumed 35GWh) Gigafactory in Europa around 2025 23

bull as well as from BYD (China) GS Yuasa (Japan) and Farasis (US) to build production 24

capacities between 2020 and 2025 25

26

The production capacities from Asian (or non-European) cell manufacturer might sum up to 27

well above 82-96 GWh by 2025 and including BYD GS Yuasa Farasis etc capacities far 28

above 100 GWh can be expected Together with the new EU cell producers this could easily 29

sum up towards the above mentioned 200 GWh demand in Europe But it also clearly indicates 30

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

44

the competition the emerging European players have to face (besides the fact that the plans 1

of the Asian companies are expected to be realized already several years earlier as those of 2

the novel EU companies) 3

2353 Product design trends and technological roadmap 4

Concerning the battery technology or type (by chemistry format etc) which will most likely 5

be produced to address this increasing demand the global roadmaps of cell producers are 6

basically similar Based on state-of-the art cell design (eg LFP NCA based ldquogeneration 1rdquo 7

and NMC111 to NMC532 ldquogeneration 2abrdquo Li-ion batteries) [52] and state-of-the-art 8

production equipment incremental improvements are expected in the next few years but with 9

the target to get to higher-energy lithium-ion batteries Concerning the electrolytes still liquid 10

electrolytes will be used but adopted to the changing electrode materials (eg with additives) 11

Current trends for layered oxide cathodes describe the development of Ni-rich (Co reduced) 12

materials (NMC) A few cell producers are already using NMC811 or comparable cathode 13

materials others are still adopting NMC622 (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3ardquo) On cathode 14

side maybe even lower-cost Mn-rich High Energy NMCs (HE-NMC) might be realized and 15

produced within ~10 years as Mn is cheaper than Ni (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3brdquo) On 16

anode side the trend is to incorporate Si-nano particles to make use of the alloying reaction 17

between Si and Li yielding a high capacitance This however comes at the cost of cycle life 18

Further down the road we might see higher Si contents (~20) 19

20

All-solid-state batteries are on the roadmap of many battery producers but also OEM (also 21

referred to as ldquogeneration 4rdquo) The key performance parameters (KPI) are suitable for electric 22

mobility (EV) Main challenges are indeed manufacturability particularly for ceramic solid state 23

electrolytes which promise to yield the highest advantages over state of the art technologies 24

The market introduction in niche applications is expected possible prior to the use in 25

automotive applications First all-solid-state batteries might not be competitive in terms of 26

energy density but safety properties Later on energy densities of 350-400 Whkg and higher 27

are expected 28

Li-ion batteries but (according to the current level of knowledge) do not reach the necessary 5

KPIs in terms of energy density power density and cycling stability necessary for electric 6

mobility (these are marked in grey) USPs of these technologies can be cost resource 7

availability either volumetric or gravimetric energy density or others But often even 8

fundamental challenges are not solved yet (eg concerning the stability of materials and 9

24 Consumer expenditure base data 2

241 General objective of subtask 24 and approach 3

Subtask 24 gives an overview about average production costs and consumer prices incl 4

VAT (for consumer prices streetprice) excl VAT (for B2B products) as well as an estimation 5

of repair and maintenance as well as installation and disposal costs 6

Due to their recent larger scale market introduction there is still little experience with 7

maintenance as well as disposal expenses Hence only estimations can be made based on 8

isolated sources 9

242 Development of LIB cell costs 10

As the core of LIB based energy storage systems the battery cell exhibits the highest cost 11

share During the last years particularly standardized 18650 format LIB cells have 12

experienced a steep cost learning curve benefiting from production scale effects but also 13

from technological advancements on material level increasing the energy density per volume 14

and weight and decreasing the amount of cost intense Cobalt-based components Compared 15

to this benchmark larger format LIB cells (Pouch prismatic) as are utilized in xEVs and ESS 16

predominantly feature lower energy densities at higher cost per kWh There are however no 17

principal limitations which would prevent a performance and cost development similar to what 18

was observed for cylindrical cells Figure 39 shows the cost learning curves for cylindrical as 19

well as larger format LIB cells [33] Today average costs for cells suitable for automotive use 20

are below 150 eurokWh (cylindrical) and around 200 eurokWh (Pouchprismatic) In specific cases 21

prices around 100 eurokWh have been reported already [53] It should however be noted that 22

with the current market situation LIB prices being below costs are not unlikely to occur 23

Until 2025 production costs of the different cell formats are expected to approach and fall 24

below the mark of 100 eurokWh between 2020 and 2025 Taking further developments on 25

material level into account costs around 60-100 eurokWh seam feasible past 2025 26

Figure 39 Cost learning curves for large LIB cells (cylindrical and Pouchprismatic) [33] 3

Similar cost learning curves have been observed for other battery technologies (see Figure 4

40) In principal cost degression can be limited by demand (compare NiCd) or by reaching 5

material cost limits (compare Pb) Also the diffusion of battery technologies in new markets 6

or applications can lead to further technological improvements and justify higher production 7

costs (compare deviation of NiMH Pb) Following the available data for LIB cells approx 100 8

$kWh (~89 eurokWh) are reached at a cumulative yearly production of 1TWh This mark is 9

expected to be reached between 2020 and 2030 10

Beyond 2030 LIB production costs are however expected to start deviating from this curve 11

due to limiting raw material prices 12

2432 ESS 7

According to recent end-customer price data provided in [55] for 2018 typical consumer prices 8

for small scale (~10 kWh) stationary home storage systems are between 5000 and 15000 9

Euros leading to a relative price of 800 to 1200 eurokWh It is expected that these system prices 10

will benefit from the growing battery markets (also xEV) since similar LIB cell types can be 11

applied in both application areas With respect to inverters and other system related costs the 12

smaller market volume of home ESS indicates lower economy of scale effects as compared 13

to cells 14

2441 xEV 16

So far no comprehensive information on repair and maintenance costs for the battery system 17

of xEVs are available Due to still rather accommodating service policies repair or 18

2451 Second life and recycling considerations 6

Until today only pilot projects Strategy of automotive OEM regarding second life applications 7

is not known 8

Value of recycled materials can be estimated 9

Three main scenarios possible after end of 1st life (xEV) 10

1 Disposal of batteries (eg separation of liquid and solid components hazardous waste 11

disposal) 12

2 Recycling of batteries and direct regeneration and re-use of cathode materials (2a) or 13

recovery of metals (2b) 14

3 2nd life in ESS applications under limited load (low DOD cycling low power) 15

16

Scenario 1 will add another component to battery costs scenario 2 and 3 could significantly 17

decrease the cost of batteries if energy efficient recycling methods can be developed or viable 18

26 Annex 1

2611 Modelling of addressable markets for electric applications 2

Vehicle markets (in units of registrations in the EU28 per year) and ESS markets (in units of 3

number of installed home PV systems or in units of overall renewable (PV wind) electricity 4

generation in the EU28 per year) were modelled by exponential functions 5

119872119905119886119901119901(119905) = 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 6

With Mtapp(t) being the total market volume of an application M0 the market size in 2015 and 7

120591 times 119871119899(2) the time t necessary to double the initial market volume M0 M0 and Tau were chosen 8

to fit existing market data 9

119872119886119901119901(119905) = 119888 times 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 10

With Mapp(t) being the addressable market and c a factor equal or smaller than 1 Parameter 11

c lt 1 was chosen to take into account that not the whole existing market Mtapp might be 12

addressable by electric technologies Eg a share of vehicles primarily used for long distance 13

travel might not be addressable by BEV but by PHEV only 14

The market addressable for passenger PHEV (as a transition technology on the path to full 15

electric vehicles) was modelled as the difference of total vehicle sales and BEV sales 16

119872119875119867119864119881(119905) = 119888 times 119872119905119901119886119904119904119890119899119892119890119903(119905) minus 119878119861119864119881(119905) 17

The market addressable for passenger BEV was modelled like Mapp(t) with c lt 1 18

2612 Modelling of sales numbers of xEV and ESS 19

Yearly sales numbers Sapp(t) for the different applications were modelled by logistic growth 20

functions Logistic functions can model diffusion of technologies into existing markets with a 21

given market volume M The market volume can be a moving target M = M(t) The relative 22

change of sales numbers Srsquoapp(t)Sapp(t) is proportional to the market volume not yet 23

developed by a technology Mapp(t) ndash Sapp(t) 24

119878119886119901119901(119905) = 119872119886119901119901(119905) times1

119878119886119901119901(1199050)minus 1)

25

With Tau being a time constant and Sapp(t0) being the yearly sales number at year t0 (eg 26

2015) 27

Short time constants Tau of few years were used to model ESS sales Due to limitations of 28

the existing electricity grid to only buffer a certain share of fluctuating PV and wind generated 29

electricity the further expansion of renewable electricity generation might be strongly coupled 30

to ESS installations Hence ESS sales were modelled to closely follow the assumed 31

installations of renewable power in the limit of ldquovery fastrdquo market diffusion (120591 rarr 0) 32

2613 Modelling of battery system capacities 33

Battery capacities EBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws In 34

particular BEV battery capacities increased in the last years from 30 kWh in 2013 to more than 35

40 kWh in 2018 (EU sales and production averages) In the long term we expect BEV 36

capacities to converge towards a value sufficient to provide average driving ranges of some 37

100 km Battery capacity growth rates are hence supposed to slow down 38

The replacement rate defines the share of batteries installed in year t that had to be replaced 6

within the lifetime of a system (xEV ESS) In particular for vehicles it is assumed that xEV 7

manufacturers currently install battery cells with a high lifetime and cyclability (several 8

thousand cycles) In the mid-term we expect that battery life and vehicle life (eg 200000 to 9

300000 km) will be matched by car manufacturers Assuming a constant vehicle lifetime 10

battery replacement rates are supposed to increase over time 11

119877119903119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198770 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 12

With R0 being the average replacement rate in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years 13

and b an exponent lt 1 At present there is no data available to fit the parameters Parameters 14

were estimated based on the usage profile and load of different applications 15

2615 Modelling of system lifetimes (xEV ESS) 16

System lifetimes Ltsystem(t) were assumed to be constant Ltsystem(t)= Ltsystem Parameters were 17

estimated based on manufacturer statements and typical lifetimes for combustion powered 18

vehicles 19

2616 Calculation of battery replacements 20

Battery replacements RpBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 21

calculated by assuming a uniform distribution of battery replacements over the lifetime 22

Ltsystem(i) of battery systems installed in year i 23

2617 Calculation of battery decommissions 25

Battery decommissions DcBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 26

assumed to happen coincident with the end of life of the systems (Ltsystem) they were installed 27

in in year i This neglects any second life usage in t gt i It was assumed that xEV or ESS 28

manufacturers will tune the battery lifetime to match the system lifetime (see 2614) 29

233 The developing battery market 1

The total annual battery market is currently on the level of 45-60 billion Euro representing 2

approximately 400-500 GWh (including Lead-acid Lithium-Ion and other batteries) [33] 3

Lithium-ion batteries (LIB) have succeeded because of their high gravimetric and volumetric 4

energy densities and have a market share of about a third in terms of value among the whole 5

battery market The growth is driven by the decreasing cell costs of less than 170 eurokWh for a 6

standard cylindrical cell (lowest prices) approaching the 90 eurokWh mark in the next years This 7

cost degression is due to increasing capacity demand and production and thus due to scale 8

effects 9

Although the LIB market is drastically growing with annual growth rates of up to 30 percent 10

on average (in terms of battery capacity demand) the dominating battery technology in terms 11

of capacity however are still lead-acid batteries representing about 90 percent of the global 12

demand in volume around 2010 and 80 percent in 2017 13

14

15

Figure 25 Historical development of the global battery demand in GWh (left axis for NiCd 16

NiMH right axis for all other battery types grey total battery demand) [34] 17

Other mature battery technologies like NiCd (still partly used in power tools) and NiMH (still 18

used in hybrid electric vehicles HEV) are slowly declining and are expected to disappear from 19

the market in the next decade The diversification of future battery applications however will 20

also broaden the range of battery technologies Emerging technologies like Na-based Metal-21

Sulfur or Redox Flow batteries are developing and may lead to attractive solutions eg with 22

respect to cost and resource availability advantages However due to very strict requirements 23

on volumetric energy densities these technologies are expected to be relevant for stationary 24

or other special markets and less for the most significant electric vehicle market In general 25

each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses and none of them can satisfy all user 26

demands Hence a broader application-specific technology portfolio is urgently needed in 27

order to provide alternative technology solutions in the future 28

The extremely dynamic development of the global LIB demand will lead to the TWh level latest 29

around 2030 and grow further after 2030 Thus LIB will very soon transform into the 30

dominating energy storage technology 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

34

Figure 26 shows three different scenarios for the global demand for LIB between 2010 and 1

2030 (green curves) along with global production capacities (orange and blue curve)[33] 2

While at the beginning of the decade the demand and sales numbers followed the medium 3

growth rate trend scenario the market has been approaching the high growth rate scenario in 4

the last years This is mainly due to the strong engagement of politics and respective 5

regulation and subsidy programs for electric mobility As can be seen from the graph the 6

share of demand generated by motive applications is expected to significantly grow in the next 7

years and might account for more than one third of the total LIB demand by 2025 8

To face this increasing demand for LIB cells accordingly production capacities need to be 9

build up in the near future Based on the currently existing cell production capacities and the 10

global announcements from established and new cell producers until 2025 the LIB cell 11

production capacities (blue line in 12

Figure 26) have been identified Compared to 15 GWh added production capacity between 13

2013 and 2016 in the next years around 50 GWh will be added annually leading to around 14

700 GWh production capacities until 2025 (in the optimistic case see blue line in 15

Figure 26) The announcements include established players such as Panasonic (JP) LG 16

Chem (KR) Samsung (KR) SKI (KR) BYD (CN) Lishen (CN) CATL (CN) CALB (CN) 17

OPTIMUM (CN) and several further Chinese cell producers Also new players such as TerraE 18

(DE) Northvolt (SW) Boston Energy (US AU) Energy Absolute (Thailand) are included 19

while accounting for the different stages of expansion [20 27] 20

234 Battery markets by application 23

Diversification of applications for batteries 24

The above described global developments of battery demand and production strongly concern 25

high-energy lithium-ion batteries with the cell chemistries NMC NCA (Ni-rich and Co-reduced 26

cathodes) and SiC (high capacity SiC anodes with 5-10 or higher Si content) and cell 27

formats cylindrical (eg larger 21700 compared to standard 18650) large pouch or prismatic 28

cells The target is to develop and produce cells with improved gravimetric and volumetric 29

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

35

energy densities and reduced costs in order to meet the requirements of the automotive 1

industry Electric passenger cars are driving the demand and thus development of the battery 2

technology and these optimized and cost reduced batteries define the benchmark today and 3

in the future 4

LIB demand by applications 5

In Figure 27 the global LIB demand is broken down to the three main sectors for battery 6

demand which can be characterised each having different profiles of requirement 7

bull electric mobility or electric vehicles (EV including eg passenger cars light 8

commercial vehicles buses trucks scooters ebikes etc) 9

bull stationary energy storage systems (ESS) and 10

bull portable devices (3C ndash Computer Communication Consumer) 11

The LIB cell demand developed to almost 25 GWh in 2010 since the market introduction in 12

the early 1990s and dominantly resulted from portable devices In 2015 the cell demand of 13

about 70 GWh was distributed already almost 5050 between 3C and EV applications 14

15

Figure 27 Global LIB demand (in GWh and share in ) by segment [34] 16

Since 2015 the global LIB demand has increased with compound annual growth rates 17

(CAGR) of ~25 from about 70 GWh to about 110 GWh in 2017 The market for electric 18

vehicles currently grows with 30-40 (and more depending on the application and region) and 19

a diversification in applications (eg buses trucks other light to heavy commercial vehicles 20

marine applications drones etc) can be observed 21

With the diversification of future markets and applications cost sensitive markets will arise for 22

which optimized high-energy and cost reduced automotive cells of certain cell formats will be 23

used However also applications with stronger requirements on long lifetime high cycleability 24

fast charging capability safety etc will emerge and diffuse where cost is not the most 25

relevant factor and other battery technologies (ie cell chemistries formats) can provide a 26

unique selling proposition and hence lead to a product differentiation 27

2341 LIB markets for 3C applications 28

Portable devices (3C) have been the main applications for LIB cells in the past Power tools 29

medical devices and wearables are expected to be products with an emerging future market 30

for small LIB cells but with enormous quantities The price per kWh that can be stored plays a 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

36

less important role for these applications As far as charging is concerned technologies such 1

as energy harvesting and wireless charging are expected to be introduced in the future For 2

many markets and products such as household devices garden cleaning power tools other 3

mobile leisure applications etc today mostly cylindrical LIB cells of the format 18650 are used 4

With the introduction of 21700 cells also larger cylindrical cells become available now and are 5

expected to be used in diffuse in such applications Although different specific cell chemistries 6

might be suitable depending on the concrete application again it can be stated that the 3C 7

segment is expected to lead to a comparably small battery capacity demand compared to the 8

EV segment and will not be the limiting segment with respect to the risk of resource 9

dependencies 10

In the next few years growth rates of about 5 to 10 percent are expected for the 3C markets 11

while laptop battery demand is developing at lower growth rates and power tools medical 12

devices etc are supporting the growth rates for the battery demand 13

14

15

Figure 28 Demand and growth of the 3C LIB market [34] 16

2342 LIB markets for stationary (ESS) applications 17

Stationary energy storage systems (ESS) can be divided into different size classes with regard 18

to the capacity and charging times Both together decide on the application area (eg small 19

PV storage at home peak load to long-term storage) [35] Beyond that the price per kWh put 20

through over the lifetime is the economic key factor (as synthesized by the LCOE levelized 21

cost of energy) In contrast gravimetric and volumetric energy density plays a subordinate 22

role Due to that lead-acid batteries were often used as storage technology for off- and on-23

grid storage Currently LIBs are being established for commercial use and meanwhile reach 24

an annual demand of some few GWh Other electrochemical storage technologies such as 25

sodium-sulfur batteries are still used but the demand for LIB is strongly increasing for ESS It 26

is expected that 2nd life concepts for batteries that had their first life in electric vehicles will 27

gain importance together with market diffusion in the EV segment as the requirements on the 28

batteries are less demanding in the ESS segment This however will require the development 29

of according business models standardization etc The much broader available technology 30

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

37

portfolio for ESS applications the use of 2nd life batteries and the fact that electric vehicle 1

batteries that are connected to the grid on a large scale with higher market diffusion can be 2

regarded as stationary storage systems as well (vehicle to grid V2G grid to vehicle G2V) help 3

to reduce the risk of technological and resource dependencies in the future 4

The market for stationary storage applications (ESS) is experiencing growth rates of 20 to 30 5

percent depending on individual market forecasts (in the last years CAGR have even been on 6

the level of 60 but decrease with increasing size of the market see Figure 29) 7

The market is currently on a level of few GWh including applications from smaller PV storage 8

systems of 5-10 kWh to larger industrial and grid connected installations for own power 9

consumption peak shaving etc on the MWh level Regarding these growth rates LIB for ESS 10

applications rapidly gain importance as de-central storage solutions compared to the currently 11

dominating central pumped hydro storage (PHS) Forecasts to 2025 differ by size and expect 12

an ESS LIB demand between 20-50 GWh (partially higher eg in [23]) but all forecasts identify 13

high growth rates 14

15

17

2343 LIB markets for electric vehicle applications 18

One of the biggest challenges for batteries for electric vehicles (EV including electric cars 19

buses trucks etc) apart from their price is the increase of their volumetric and gravimetric 20

energy density The volumetric energy density is even more important for OEM due to 21

restricted and fixed space and location of the battery in an electric vehicle A very relevant 22

parameter of a battery is its charging and discharging power in particular in continuous 23

operation It determines the fast-charging capability which is an important argument in the 24

use and the establishment on the market At the same time this sets limits to the high-25

performance operation since energy consumption is reduced to protect the battery from 26

damage This illustrates the conflicting effect of different parameters on the battery lifetime 27

Price volume weight and thus charge density as well as chargedischarge rate in terms of 28

usage and durability are the most urgent challenges for battery manufacturers 29

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

38

The market for EV batteries is currently at the level of about 50 GWh (including electric 1

passenger cars busses trucks ebikes scooter forklifts etc) Growth rates are at 20 to 40 2

percent and the demand for EV batteries will lead to a share of about 66 percent in 2020 76 3

percent until 2025 and 80 percent or higher in the long term Electric passenger cars (BEV 4

and PHEV) define the by far largest market within the EV segment and are clearly driving the 5

technology development of high energy Lithium-Ion or Lithium-based batteries in the future 6

7

Figure 30 Demand and growth of the EV LIB market [34] 8

9

Other motive (or stationary or portable) markets applications besides the highly competitive 10

electric passenger cars therefore can offer interesting growth markets also for smaller cell 11

producers beyond the large Japanese Korean and Chinese cell producers These markets or 12

applications very often define concrete requirements for the battery performance they require 13

an in depth understanding and design from the cell chemistry format to the modulepack and 14

system integration and they still vary strongly by region and are connected to individual system 15

integrators or OEM This is because each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses 16

and none of them can satisfy all userapplication demands Hence a broader application 17

specific technology portfolio is even urgently needed in order to provide alternative individual 18

technology solutions for these emerging marketsapplications 19

20

235 Market channels and production structure 21

2351 Global production capacities and major players 22

Since their commercialization in the 1990s LIB have been predominantly produced by 23

Japanese and Korean companies Driven by the Chinese government particularly cell 24

producers but also companies covering other steps of the LIB value creation chain have been 25

established in China Due to a policy of simultaneous support for LIB production as well as for 26

application markets and due to an extensive subsidy scheme a large share of LIB production 27

capacities is located in China today 28

Figure 31 Figure 32 Figure 33 and Figure 34 show the global LIB production capacities of 29

major cell producers in 2018 as well as forecasts for 2020 2025 and 2030 respectively [36] 30

The data is based on announcements made by the cell producers As discussed in section 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

39

233 the actual time-frame for the implementation of the capacity expansions is often delayed 1

with respect to the original announcements Hence minimum and maximum values for the 2

production capacities are given 3

Figure 34 Global LIB production capacities of major cell producers in 2030 [36] 2

Until 2030 the announced production capacities add up to more than 1 TWh In total there 3

are about 30 cell producers which have announced to build up production capacities of more 4

than 10 GWhyear which can be considered to be a threshold in order to be able to produce 5

at competitve costs [36] If the announced capacities are fully utilized the ldquobig 4rdquo (Panasonic 6

CATL LGC and BYD) will be able to fully cover the market demand (gt550 GWh) until 2025 7

2352 Europes position in the global battery value chain 8

In the EU several actors are positioned which cover production steps along the whole value 9

chain of LIBs starting from raw material production to production of cells and systems and 10

finally recycling However with respect to global markets only few organizations within the EU 11

have a market share of more than 1 in their specific segment eg BASF Germany in the 12

field of electrolyte production [30] 13

An overview about existing and active companies is given by the European Battery Alliance 14

(see Figure 35) Due to the presence of strong automotive OEM LIB pack manufacturing and 15

system integration is taking place on large scale in Europe A particular gap in the value chain 16

is present due to the lack of a large-scale cell production capable of serving the volumes and 17

prices required by the automotive industry 18

Several consortia are currently attempting to build up a European large scale cell 4

manufacturing such as Nothvolt (Sweden) with 32 GWh until 2023 or Saft (together with 5

Siemens and Manz) [39] Recently the German government announced plans for funding of 6

a Batterie-Cell-Alliance between Germany and Poland with cell production capacities in the 7

Regions Lausitz (Germany) and Westpoland [40 41] At the cross section between RampD and 8

large-scale production also a Research Production with 600 Mio EUR funding is foreseen 9

whereas the Fraunhofer Society should coordinate and run such a research production [42] 10

The announced funding from the German government sums up to 2 bn EUR 11

Given all these announced investments and production capacities to build up in the next years 12

the cell production capacities of European cell manufacturers could sum up to over 40 GWh 13

beyond 2025 In contrast main Asian cell manufacturer have already started with cell 14

production (eg LG SDI) or plan to build up production capacities until 2020 to 2025 In 15

concrete there are plans from [43ndash51] 16

17

bull CATL (China) to build 14 GWh in Germany Erfurt beyond 2020 18

bull LG Chem (Japan) to build 15 to 24 GWh (for 03 Mio EVs) in Poland beyond 2020 19

bull Samsung SDI (Japan) to build 10 to 15 GWh beyond 2020 in Hungary (including a 20

recent 5 GWh announcement for 21700 cells for Land Rover 21

bull SK Innovation (Japan) to build 75 GWh in Hungary beyond 2020 22

bull PanasonicTesla to build a (assumed 35GWh) Gigafactory in Europa around 2025 23

bull as well as from BYD (China) GS Yuasa (Japan) and Farasis (US) to build production 24

capacities between 2020 and 2025 25

26

The production capacities from Asian (or non-European) cell manufacturer might sum up to 27

well above 82-96 GWh by 2025 and including BYD GS Yuasa Farasis etc capacities far 28

above 100 GWh can be expected Together with the new EU cell producers this could easily 29

sum up towards the above mentioned 200 GWh demand in Europe But it also clearly indicates 30

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

44

the competition the emerging European players have to face (besides the fact that the plans 1

of the Asian companies are expected to be realized already several years earlier as those of 2

the novel EU companies) 3

2353 Product design trends and technological roadmap 4

Concerning the battery technology or type (by chemistry format etc) which will most likely 5

be produced to address this increasing demand the global roadmaps of cell producers are 6

basically similar Based on state-of-the art cell design (eg LFP NCA based ldquogeneration 1rdquo 7

and NMC111 to NMC532 ldquogeneration 2abrdquo Li-ion batteries) [52] and state-of-the-art 8

production equipment incremental improvements are expected in the next few years but with 9

the target to get to higher-energy lithium-ion batteries Concerning the electrolytes still liquid 10

electrolytes will be used but adopted to the changing electrode materials (eg with additives) 11

Current trends for layered oxide cathodes describe the development of Ni-rich (Co reduced) 12

materials (NMC) A few cell producers are already using NMC811 or comparable cathode 13

materials others are still adopting NMC622 (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3ardquo) On cathode 14

side maybe even lower-cost Mn-rich High Energy NMCs (HE-NMC) might be realized and 15

produced within ~10 years as Mn is cheaper than Ni (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3brdquo) On 16

anode side the trend is to incorporate Si-nano particles to make use of the alloying reaction 17

between Si and Li yielding a high capacitance This however comes at the cost of cycle life 18

Further down the road we might see higher Si contents (~20) 19

20

All-solid-state batteries are on the roadmap of many battery producers but also OEM (also 21

referred to as ldquogeneration 4rdquo) The key performance parameters (KPI) are suitable for electric 22

mobility (EV) Main challenges are indeed manufacturability particularly for ceramic solid state 23

electrolytes which promise to yield the highest advantages over state of the art technologies 24

The market introduction in niche applications is expected possible prior to the use in 25

automotive applications First all-solid-state batteries might not be competitive in terms of 26

energy density but safety properties Later on energy densities of 350-400 Whkg and higher 27

are expected 28

Other technologies (not marked in blue in the above figure) feature certain USPs compared to 4

Li-ion batteries but (according to the current level of knowledge) do not reach the necessary 5

KPIs in terms of energy density power density and cycling stability necessary for electric 6

mobility (these are marked in grey) USPs of these technologies can be cost resource 7

availability either volumetric or gravimetric energy density or others But often even 8

fundamental challenges are not solved yet (eg concerning the stability of materials and 9

electrochemical systems kinetics etc) 10

24 Consumer expenditure base data 2

241 General objective of subtask 24 and approach 3

Subtask 24 gives an overview about average production costs and consumer prices incl 4

VAT (for consumer prices streetprice) excl VAT (for B2B products) as well as an estimation 5

of repair and maintenance as well as installation and disposal costs 6

Due to their recent larger scale market introduction there is still little experience with 7

maintenance as well as disposal expenses Hence only estimations can be made based on 8

isolated sources 9

242 Development of LIB cell costs 10

As the core of LIB based energy storage systems the battery cell exhibits the highest cost 11

share During the last years particularly standardized 18650 format LIB cells have 12

experienced a steep cost learning curve benefiting from production scale effects but also 13

from technological advancements on material level increasing the energy density per volume 14

and weight and decreasing the amount of cost intense Cobalt-based components Compared 15

to this benchmark larger format LIB cells (Pouch prismatic) as are utilized in xEVs and ESS 16

predominantly feature lower energy densities at higher cost per kWh There are however no 17

principal limitations which would prevent a performance and cost development similar to what 18

was observed for cylindrical cells Figure 39 shows the cost learning curves for cylindrical as 19

well as larger format LIB cells [33] Today average costs for cells suitable for automotive use 20

are below 150 eurokWh (cylindrical) and around 200 eurokWh (Pouchprismatic) In specific cases 21

prices around 100 eurokWh have been reported already [53] It should however be noted that 22

with the current market situation LIB prices being below costs are not unlikely to occur 23

Until 2025 production costs of the different cell formats are expected to approach and fall 24

below the mark of 100 eurokWh between 2020 and 2025 Taking further developments on 25

material level into account costs around 60-100 eurokWh seam feasible past 2025 26

Figure 39 Cost learning curves for large LIB cells (cylindrical and Pouchprismatic) [33] 3

Similar cost learning curves have been observed for other battery technologies (see Figure 4

40) In principal cost degression can be limited by demand (compare NiCd) or by reaching 5

material cost limits (compare Pb) Also the diffusion of battery technologies in new markets 6

or applications can lead to further technological improvements and justify higher production 7

costs (compare deviation of NiMH Pb) Following the available data for LIB cells approx 100 8

$kWh (~89 eurokWh) are reached at a cumulative yearly production of 1TWh This mark is 9

expected to be reached between 2020 and 2030 10

Beyond 2030 LIB production costs are however expected to start deviating from this curve 11

due to limiting raw material prices 12

2432 ESS 7

According to recent end-customer price data provided in [55] for 2018 typical consumer prices 8

for small scale (~10 kWh) stationary home storage systems are between 5000 and 15000 9

Euros leading to a relative price of 800 to 1200 eurokWh It is expected that these system prices 10

will benefit from the growing battery markets (also xEV) since similar LIB cell types can be 11

applied in both application areas With respect to inverters and other system related costs the 12

smaller market volume of home ESS indicates lower economy of scale effects as compared 13

to cells 14

244 Installation repair and maintenance costs 15

2441 xEV 16

So far no comprehensive information on repair and maintenance costs for the battery system 17

of xEVs are available Due to still rather accommodating service policies repair or 18

replacement of batteries is so far often covered by the manufacturer 19

Will be added in a later review 5

2451 Second life and recycling considerations 6

Until today only pilot projects Strategy of automotive OEM regarding second life applications 7

is not known 8

Value of recycled materials can be estimated 9

Three main scenarios possible after end of 1st life (xEV) 10

1 Disposal of batteries (eg separation of liquid and solid components hazardous waste 11

disposal) 12

2 Recycling of batteries and direct regeneration and re-use of cathode materials (2a) or 13

recovery of metals (2b) 14

3 2nd life in ESS applications under limited load (low DOD cycling low power) 15

16

Scenario 1 will add another component to battery costs scenario 2 and 3 could significantly 17

decrease the cost of batteries if energy efficient recycling methods can be developed or viable 18

2nd life business models are established 19

26 Annex 1

2611 Modelling of addressable markets for electric applications 2

Vehicle markets (in units of registrations in the EU28 per year) and ESS markets (in units of 3

number of installed home PV systems or in units of overall renewable (PV wind) electricity 4

generation in the EU28 per year) were modelled by exponential functions 5

119872119905119886119901119901(119905) = 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 6

With Mtapp(t) being the total market volume of an application M0 the market size in 2015 and 7

120591 times 119871119899(2) the time t necessary to double the initial market volume M0 M0 and Tau were chosen 8

to fit existing market data 9

119872119886119901119901(119905) = 119888 times 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 10

With Mapp(t) being the addressable market and c a factor equal or smaller than 1 Parameter 11

c lt 1 was chosen to take into account that not the whole existing market Mtapp might be 12

addressable by electric technologies Eg a share of vehicles primarily used for long distance 13

travel might not be addressable by BEV but by PHEV only 14

The market addressable for passenger PHEV (as a transition technology on the path to full 15

electric vehicles) was modelled as the difference of total vehicle sales and BEV sales 16

119872119875119867119864119881(119905) = 119888 times 119872119905119901119886119904119904119890119899119892119890119903(119905) minus 119878119861119864119881(119905) 17

The market addressable for passenger BEV was modelled like Mapp(t) with c lt 1 18

2612 Modelling of sales numbers of xEV and ESS 19

Yearly sales numbers Sapp(t) for the different applications were modelled by logistic growth 20

functions Logistic functions can model diffusion of technologies into existing markets with a 21

given market volume M The market volume can be a moving target M = M(t) The relative 22

change of sales numbers Srsquoapp(t)Sapp(t) is proportional to the market volume not yet 23

developed by a technology Mapp(t) ndash Sapp(t) 24

119878119886119901119901(119905) = 119872119886119901119901(119905) times1

1 + 119864119909119901(minus119872119886119901119901(119905) times (119905 minus 1199050)120591)(119872119886119901119901(119905)

119878119886119901119901(1199050)minus 1)

25

With Tau being a time constant and Sapp(t0) being the yearly sales number at year t0 (eg 26

2015) 27

Short time constants Tau of few years were used to model ESS sales Due to limitations of 28

the existing electricity grid to only buffer a certain share of fluctuating PV and wind generated 29

electricity the further expansion of renewable electricity generation might be strongly coupled 30

to ESS installations Hence ESS sales were modelled to closely follow the assumed 31

installations of renewable power in the limit of ldquovery fastrdquo market diffusion (120591 rarr 0) 32

2613 Modelling of battery system capacities 33

Battery capacities EBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws In 34

particular BEV battery capacities increased in the last years from 30 kWh in 2013 to more than 35

40 kWh in 2018 (EU sales and production averages) In the long term we expect BEV 36

capacities to converge towards a value sufficient to provide average driving ranges of some 37

100 km Battery capacity growth rates are hence supposed to slow down 38

119864119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198640 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 1

With E0 being the average battery capacity in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years and 2

b an exponent lt 1 The parameters were chosen to fit existing data 3

2614 Modelling of battery replacement rates 4

Battery replacement rates RrBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws 5

The replacement rate defines the share of batteries installed in year t that had to be replaced 6

within the lifetime of a system (xEV ESS) In particular for vehicles it is assumed that xEV 7

manufacturers currently install battery cells with a high lifetime and cyclability (several 8

thousand cycles) In the mid-term we expect that battery life and vehicle life (eg 200000 to 9

300000 km) will be matched by car manufacturers Assuming a constant vehicle lifetime 10

battery replacement rates are supposed to increase over time 11

119877119903119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198770 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 12

With R0 being the average replacement rate in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years 13

and b an exponent lt 1 At present there is no data available to fit the parameters Parameters 14

were estimated based on the usage profile and load of different applications 15

2615 Modelling of system lifetimes (xEV ESS) 16

System lifetimes Ltsystem(t) were assumed to be constant Ltsystem(t)= Ltsystem Parameters were 17

estimated based on manufacturer statements and typical lifetimes for combustion powered 18

vehicles 19

2616 Calculation of battery replacements 20

Battery replacements RpBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 21

calculated by assuming a uniform distribution of battery replacements over the lifetime 22

Ltsystem(i) of battery systems installed in year i 23

119877119901119861119886119905119905(119905) = sum119877119903119861119886119905119905(119894) times 119878119886119901119901(119894) times 119864119861119886119905119905(119894)

24

2617 Calculation of battery decommissions 25

Battery decommissions DcBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 26

assumed to happen coincident with the end of life of the systems (Ltsystem) they were installed 27

in in year i This neglects any second life usage in t gt i It was assumed that xEV or ESS 28

manufacturers will tune the battery lifetime to match the system lifetime (see 2614) 29

2618 Calculation of yearly installed battery capacity 31

The yearly installed battery capacity Sbapp(t) in the EU28 was calculated as 32

119878119887119886119901119901(119905) = 119878119886119901119901(119905) times 119864119886119901119901119861119886119905119905(119905) + 119877119901119886119901119901

Figure 26 shows three different scenarios for the global demand for LIB between 2010 and 1

2030 (green curves) along with global production capacities (orange and blue curve)[33] 2

While at the beginning of the decade the demand and sales numbers followed the medium 3

growth rate trend scenario the market has been approaching the high growth rate scenario in 4

the last years This is mainly due to the strong engagement of politics and respective 5

regulation and subsidy programs for electric mobility As can be seen from the graph the 6

share of demand generated by motive applications is expected to significantly grow in the next 7

years and might account for more than one third of the total LIB demand by 2025 8

To face this increasing demand for LIB cells accordingly production capacities need to be 9

build up in the near future Based on the currently existing cell production capacities and the 10

global announcements from established and new cell producers until 2025 the LIB cell 11

production capacities (blue line in 12

Figure 26) have been identified Compared to 15 GWh added production capacity between 13

2013 and 2016 in the next years around 50 GWh will be added annually leading to around 14

700 GWh production capacities until 2025 (in the optimistic case see blue line in 15

Figure 26) The announcements include established players such as Panasonic (JP) LG 16

Chem (KR) Samsung (KR) SKI (KR) BYD (CN) Lishen (CN) CATL (CN) CALB (CN) 17

OPTIMUM (CN) and several further Chinese cell producers Also new players such as TerraE 18

(DE) Northvolt (SW) Boston Energy (US AU) Energy Absolute (Thailand) are included 19

while accounting for the different stages of expansion [20 27] 20

21

234 Battery markets by application 23

Diversification of applications for batteries 24

The above described global developments of battery demand and production strongly concern 25

high-energy lithium-ion batteries with the cell chemistries NMC NCA (Ni-rich and Co-reduced 26

cathodes) and SiC (high capacity SiC anodes with 5-10 or higher Si content) and cell 27

formats cylindrical (eg larger 21700 compared to standard 18650) large pouch or prismatic 28

cells The target is to develop and produce cells with improved gravimetric and volumetric 29

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

35

energy densities and reduced costs in order to meet the requirements of the automotive 1

industry Electric passenger cars are driving the demand and thus development of the battery 2

technology and these optimized and cost reduced batteries define the benchmark today and 3

in the future 4

LIB demand by applications 5

In Figure 27 the global LIB demand is broken down to the three main sectors for battery 6

demand which can be characterised each having different profiles of requirement 7

bull electric mobility or electric vehicles (EV including eg passenger cars light 8

commercial vehicles buses trucks scooters ebikes etc) 9

bull stationary energy storage systems (ESS) and 10

bull portable devices (3C ndash Computer Communication Consumer) 11

The LIB cell demand developed to almost 25 GWh in 2010 since the market introduction in 12

the early 1990s and dominantly resulted from portable devices In 2015 the cell demand of 13

about 70 GWh was distributed already almost 5050 between 3C and EV applications 14

15

Figure 27 Global LIB demand (in GWh and share in ) by segment [34] 16

Since 2015 the global LIB demand has increased with compound annual growth rates 17

(CAGR) of ~25 from about 70 GWh to about 110 GWh in 2017 The market for electric 18

vehicles currently grows with 30-40 (and more depending on the application and region) and 19

a diversification in applications (eg buses trucks other light to heavy commercial vehicles 20

marine applications drones etc) can be observed 21

With the diversification of future markets and applications cost sensitive markets will arise for 22

which optimized high-energy and cost reduced automotive cells of certain cell formats will be 23

used However also applications with stronger requirements on long lifetime high cycleability 24

fast charging capability safety etc will emerge and diffuse where cost is not the most 25

relevant factor and other battery technologies (ie cell chemistries formats) can provide a 26

unique selling proposition and hence lead to a product differentiation 27

2341 LIB markets for 3C applications 28

Portable devices (3C) have been the main applications for LIB cells in the past Power tools 29

medical devices and wearables are expected to be products with an emerging future market 30

for small LIB cells but with enormous quantities The price per kWh that can be stored plays a 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

36

less important role for these applications As far as charging is concerned technologies such 1

as energy harvesting and wireless charging are expected to be introduced in the future For 2

many markets and products such as household devices garden cleaning power tools other 3

mobile leisure applications etc today mostly cylindrical LIB cells of the format 18650 are used 4

With the introduction of 21700 cells also larger cylindrical cells become available now and are 5

expected to be used in diffuse in such applications Although different specific cell chemistries 6

might be suitable depending on the concrete application again it can be stated that the 3C 7

segment is expected to lead to a comparably small battery capacity demand compared to the 8

EV segment and will not be the limiting segment with respect to the risk of resource 9

dependencies 10

In the next few years growth rates of about 5 to 10 percent are expected for the 3C markets 11

while laptop battery demand is developing at lower growth rates and power tools medical 12

devices etc are supporting the growth rates for the battery demand 13

14

15

Figure 28 Demand and growth of the 3C LIB market [34] 16

2342 LIB markets for stationary (ESS) applications 17

Stationary energy storage systems (ESS) can be divided into different size classes with regard 18

to the capacity and charging times Both together decide on the application area (eg small 19

PV storage at home peak load to long-term storage) [35] Beyond that the price per kWh put 20

through over the lifetime is the economic key factor (as synthesized by the LCOE levelized 21

cost of energy) In contrast gravimetric and volumetric energy density plays a subordinate 22

role Due to that lead-acid batteries were often used as storage technology for off- and on-23

grid storage Currently LIBs are being established for commercial use and meanwhile reach 24

an annual demand of some few GWh Other electrochemical storage technologies such as 25

sodium-sulfur batteries are still used but the demand for LIB is strongly increasing for ESS It 26

is expected that 2nd life concepts for batteries that had their first life in electric vehicles will 27

gain importance together with market diffusion in the EV segment as the requirements on the 28

batteries are less demanding in the ESS segment This however will require the development 29

of according business models standardization etc The much broader available technology 30

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

37

portfolio for ESS applications the use of 2nd life batteries and the fact that electric vehicle 1

batteries that are connected to the grid on a large scale with higher market diffusion can be 2

regarded as stationary storage systems as well (vehicle to grid V2G grid to vehicle G2V) help 3

to reduce the risk of technological and resource dependencies in the future 4

The market for stationary storage applications (ESS) is experiencing growth rates of 20 to 30 5

percent depending on individual market forecasts (in the last years CAGR have even been on 6

the level of 60 but decrease with increasing size of the market see Figure 29) 7

The market is currently on a level of few GWh including applications from smaller PV storage 8

systems of 5-10 kWh to larger industrial and grid connected installations for own power 9

consumption peak shaving etc on the MWh level Regarding these growth rates LIB for ESS 10

applications rapidly gain importance as de-central storage solutions compared to the currently 11

dominating central pumped hydro storage (PHS) Forecasts to 2025 differ by size and expect 12

an ESS LIB demand between 20-50 GWh (partially higher eg in [23]) but all forecasts identify 13

high growth rates 14

15

Figure 29 Demand and growth of the ESS LIB market [34] 16

17

2343 LIB markets for electric vehicle applications 18

One of the biggest challenges for batteries for electric vehicles (EV including electric cars 19

buses trucks etc) apart from their price is the increase of their volumetric and gravimetric 20

energy density The volumetric energy density is even more important for OEM due to 21

restricted and fixed space and location of the battery in an electric vehicle A very relevant 22

parameter of a battery is its charging and discharging power in particular in continuous 23

operation It determines the fast-charging capability which is an important argument in the 24

use and the establishment on the market At the same time this sets limits to the high-25

performance operation since energy consumption is reduced to protect the battery from 26

damage This illustrates the conflicting effect of different parameters on the battery lifetime 27

Price volume weight and thus charge density as well as chargedischarge rate in terms of 28

usage and durability are the most urgent challenges for battery manufacturers 29

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

38

The market for EV batteries is currently at the level of about 50 GWh (including electric 1

passenger cars busses trucks ebikes scooter forklifts etc) Growth rates are at 20 to 40 2

percent and the demand for EV batteries will lead to a share of about 66 percent in 2020 76 3

percent until 2025 and 80 percent or higher in the long term Electric passenger cars (BEV 4

and PHEV) define the by far largest market within the EV segment and are clearly driving the 5

technology development of high energy Lithium-Ion or Lithium-based batteries in the future 6

7

Figure 30 Demand and growth of the EV LIB market [34] 8

9

Other motive (or stationary or portable) markets applications besides the highly competitive 10

electric passenger cars therefore can offer interesting growth markets also for smaller cell 11

producers beyond the large Japanese Korean and Chinese cell producers These markets or 12

applications very often define concrete requirements for the battery performance they require 13

an in depth understanding and design from the cell chemistry format to the modulepack and 14

system integration and they still vary strongly by region and are connected to individual system 15

integrators or OEM This is because each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses 16

and none of them can satisfy all userapplication demands Hence a broader application 17

specific technology portfolio is even urgently needed in order to provide alternative individual 18

technology solutions for these emerging marketsapplications 19

20

235 Market channels and production structure 21

2351 Global production capacities and major players 22

Since their commercialization in the 1990s LIB have been predominantly produced by 23

Japanese and Korean companies Driven by the Chinese government particularly cell 24

producers but also companies covering other steps of the LIB value creation chain have been 25

established in China Due to a policy of simultaneous support for LIB production as well as for 26

application markets and due to an extensive subsidy scheme a large share of LIB production 27

capacities is located in China today 28

Figure 31 Figure 32 Figure 33 and Figure 34 show the global LIB production capacities of 29

major cell producers in 2018 as well as forecasts for 2020 2025 and 2030 respectively [36] 30

The data is based on announcements made by the cell producers As discussed in section 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

39

233 the actual time-frame for the implementation of the capacity expansions is often delayed 1

with respect to the original announcements Hence minimum and maximum values for the 2

production capacities are given 3

41

Figure 34 Global LIB production capacities of major cell producers in 2030 [36] 2

Until 2030 the announced production capacities add up to more than 1 TWh In total there 3

are about 30 cell producers which have announced to build up production capacities of more 4

than 10 GWhyear which can be considered to be a threshold in order to be able to produce 5

at competitve costs [36] If the announced capacities are fully utilized the ldquobig 4rdquo (Panasonic 6

CATL LGC and BYD) will be able to fully cover the market demand (gt550 GWh) until 2025 7

2352 Europes position in the global battery value chain 8

In the EU several actors are positioned which cover production steps along the whole value 9

chain of LIBs starting from raw material production to production of cells and systems and 10

finally recycling However with respect to global markets only few organizations within the EU 11

have a market share of more than 1 in their specific segment eg BASF Germany in the 12

field of electrolyte production [30] 13

An overview about existing and active companies is given by the European Battery Alliance 14

(see Figure 35) Due to the presence of strong automotive OEM LIB pack manufacturing and 15

system integration is taking place on large scale in Europe A particular gap in the value chain 16

is present due to the lack of a large-scale cell production capable of serving the volumes and 17

prices required by the automotive industry 18

Several consortia are currently attempting to build up a European large scale cell 4

manufacturing such as Nothvolt (Sweden) with 32 GWh until 2023 or Saft (together with 5

Siemens and Manz) [39] Recently the German government announced plans for funding of 6

a Batterie-Cell-Alliance between Germany and Poland with cell production capacities in the 7

Regions Lausitz (Germany) and Westpoland [40 41] At the cross section between RampD and 8

large-scale production also a Research Production with 600 Mio EUR funding is foreseen 9

whereas the Fraunhofer Society should coordinate and run such a research production [42] 10

The announced funding from the German government sums up to 2 bn EUR 11

Given all these announced investments and production capacities to build up in the next years 12

the cell production capacities of European cell manufacturers could sum up to over 40 GWh 13

beyond 2025 In contrast main Asian cell manufacturer have already started with cell 14

production (eg LG SDI) or plan to build up production capacities until 2020 to 2025 In 15

concrete there are plans from [43ndash51] 16

17

bull CATL (China) to build 14 GWh in Germany Erfurt beyond 2020 18

bull LG Chem (Japan) to build 15 to 24 GWh (for 03 Mio EVs) in Poland beyond 2020 19

bull Samsung SDI (Japan) to build 10 to 15 GWh beyond 2020 in Hungary (including a 20

recent 5 GWh announcement for 21700 cells for Land Rover 21

bull SK Innovation (Japan) to build 75 GWh in Hungary beyond 2020 22

bull PanasonicTesla to build a (assumed 35GWh) Gigafactory in Europa around 2025 23

bull as well as from BYD (China) GS Yuasa (Japan) and Farasis (US) to build production 24

capacities between 2020 and 2025 25

26

The production capacities from Asian (or non-European) cell manufacturer might sum up to 27

well above 82-96 GWh by 2025 and including BYD GS Yuasa Farasis etc capacities far 28

above 100 GWh can be expected Together with the new EU cell producers this could easily 29

sum up towards the above mentioned 200 GWh demand in Europe But it also clearly indicates 30

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

44

the competition the emerging European players have to face (besides the fact that the plans 1

of the Asian companies are expected to be realized already several years earlier as those of 2

the novel EU companies) 3

2353 Product design trends and technological roadmap 4

Concerning the battery technology or type (by chemistry format etc) which will most likely 5

be produced to address this increasing demand the global roadmaps of cell producers are 6

basically similar Based on state-of-the art cell design (eg LFP NCA based ldquogeneration 1rdquo 7

and NMC111 to NMC532 ldquogeneration 2abrdquo Li-ion batteries) [52] and state-of-the-art 8

production equipment incremental improvements are expected in the next few years but with 9

the target to get to higher-energy lithium-ion batteries Concerning the electrolytes still liquid 10

electrolytes will be used but adopted to the changing electrode materials (eg with additives) 11

Current trends for layered oxide cathodes describe the development of Ni-rich (Co reduced) 12

materials (NMC) A few cell producers are already using NMC811 or comparable cathode 13

materials others are still adopting NMC622 (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3ardquo) On cathode 14

side maybe even lower-cost Mn-rich High Energy NMCs (HE-NMC) might be realized and 15

produced within ~10 years as Mn is cheaper than Ni (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3brdquo) On 16

anode side the trend is to incorporate Si-nano particles to make use of the alloying reaction 17

between Si and Li yielding a high capacitance This however comes at the cost of cycle life 18

Further down the road we might see higher Si contents (~20) 19

20

All-solid-state batteries are on the roadmap of many battery producers but also OEM (also 21

referred to as ldquogeneration 4rdquo) The key performance parameters (KPI) are suitable for electric 22

mobility (EV) Main challenges are indeed manufacturability particularly for ceramic solid state 23

electrolytes which promise to yield the highest advantages over state of the art technologies 24

The market introduction in niche applications is expected possible prior to the use in 25

automotive applications First all-solid-state batteries might not be competitive in terms of 26

energy density but safety properties Later on energy densities of 350-400 Whkg and higher 27

are expected 28

Other technologies (not marked in blue in the above figure) feature certain USPs compared to 4

Li-ion batteries but (according to the current level of knowledge) do not reach the necessary 5

KPIs in terms of energy density power density and cycling stability necessary for electric 6

mobility (these are marked in grey) USPs of these technologies can be cost resource 7

availability either volumetric or gravimetric energy density or others But often even 8

fundamental challenges are not solved yet (eg concerning the stability of materials and 9

electrochemical systems kinetics etc) 10

24 Consumer expenditure base data 2

241 General objective of subtask 24 and approach 3

Subtask 24 gives an overview about average production costs and consumer prices incl 4

VAT (for consumer prices streetprice) excl VAT (for B2B products) as well as an estimation 5

of repair and maintenance as well as installation and disposal costs 6

Due to their recent larger scale market introduction there is still little experience with 7

maintenance as well as disposal expenses Hence only estimations can be made based on 8

isolated sources 9

242 Development of LIB cell costs 10

As the core of LIB based energy storage systems the battery cell exhibits the highest cost 11

share During the last years particularly standardized 18650 format LIB cells have 12

experienced a steep cost learning curve benefiting from production scale effects but also 13

from technological advancements on material level increasing the energy density per volume 14

and weight and decreasing the amount of cost intense Cobalt-based components Compared 15

to this benchmark larger format LIB cells (Pouch prismatic) as are utilized in xEVs and ESS 16

predominantly feature lower energy densities at higher cost per kWh There are however no 17

principal limitations which would prevent a performance and cost development similar to what 18

was observed for cylindrical cells Figure 39 shows the cost learning curves for cylindrical as 19

well as larger format LIB cells [33] Today average costs for cells suitable for automotive use 20

are below 150 eurokWh (cylindrical) and around 200 eurokWh (Pouchprismatic) In specific cases 21

prices around 100 eurokWh have been reported already [53] It should however be noted that 22

with the current market situation LIB prices being below costs are not unlikely to occur 23

Until 2025 production costs of the different cell formats are expected to approach and fall 24

below the mark of 100 eurokWh between 2020 and 2025 Taking further developments on 25

material level into account costs around 60-100 eurokWh seam feasible past 2025 26

Figure 39 Cost learning curves for large LIB cells (cylindrical and Pouchprismatic) [33] 3

Similar cost learning curves have been observed for other battery technologies (see Figure 4

40) In principal cost degression can be limited by demand (compare NiCd) or by reaching 5

material cost limits (compare Pb) Also the diffusion of battery technologies in new markets 6

or applications can lead to further technological improvements and justify higher production 7

costs (compare deviation of NiMH Pb) Following the available data for LIB cells approx 100 8

$kWh (~89 eurokWh) are reached at a cumulative yearly production of 1TWh This mark is 9

expected to be reached between 2020 and 2030 10

Beyond 2030 LIB production costs are however expected to start deviating from this curve 11

due to limiting raw material prices 12

According to recent end-customer price data provided in [55] for 2018 typical consumer prices 8

for small scale (~10 kWh) stationary home storage systems are between 5000 and 15000 9

Euros leading to a relative price of 800 to 1200 eurokWh It is expected that these system prices 10

will benefit from the growing battery markets (also xEV) since similar LIB cell types can be 11

applied in both application areas With respect to inverters and other system related costs the 12

smaller market volume of home ESS indicates lower economy of scale effects as compared 13

to cells 14

244 Installation repair and maintenance costs 15

2441 xEV 16

So far no comprehensive information on repair and maintenance costs for the battery system 17

of xEVs are available Due to still rather accommodating service policies repair or 18

replacement of batteries is so far often covered by the manufacturer 19

Will be added in a later review 5

2451 Second life and recycling considerations 6

Until today only pilot projects Strategy of automotive OEM regarding second life applications 7

is not known 8

Value of recycled materials can be estimated 9

Three main scenarios possible after end of 1st life (xEV) 10

1 Disposal of batteries (eg separation of liquid and solid components hazardous waste 11

disposal) 12

2 Recycling of batteries and direct regeneration and re-use of cathode materials (2a) or 13

recovery of metals (2b) 14

3 2nd life in ESS applications under limited load (low DOD cycling low power) 15

16

Scenario 1 will add another component to battery costs scenario 2 and 3 could significantly 17

decrease the cost of batteries if energy efficient recycling methods can be developed or viable 18

2nd life business models are established 19

26 Annex 1

2611 Modelling of addressable markets for electric applications 2

Vehicle markets (in units of registrations in the EU28 per year) and ESS markets (in units of 3

number of installed home PV systems or in units of overall renewable (PV wind) electricity 4

generation in the EU28 per year) were modelled by exponential functions 5

119872119905119886119901119901(119905) = 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 6

With Mtapp(t) being the total market volume of an application M0 the market size in 2015 and 7

120591 times 119871119899(2) the time t necessary to double the initial market volume M0 M0 and Tau were chosen 8

to fit existing market data 9

119872119886119901119901(119905) = 119888 times 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 10

With Mapp(t) being the addressable market and c a factor equal or smaller than 1 Parameter 11

c lt 1 was chosen to take into account that not the whole existing market Mtapp might be 12

addressable by electric technologies Eg a share of vehicles primarily used for long distance 13

travel might not be addressable by BEV but by PHEV only 14

The market addressable for passenger PHEV (as a transition technology on the path to full 15

electric vehicles) was modelled as the difference of total vehicle sales and BEV sales 16

119872119875119867119864119881(119905) = 119888 times 119872119905119901119886119904119904119890119899119892119890119903(119905) minus 119878119861119864119881(119905) 17

The market addressable for passenger BEV was modelled like Mapp(t) with c lt 1 18

2612 Modelling of sales numbers of xEV and ESS 19

Yearly sales numbers Sapp(t) for the different applications were modelled by logistic growth 20

functions Logistic functions can model diffusion of technologies into existing markets with a 21

given market volume M The market volume can be a moving target M = M(t) The relative 22

change of sales numbers Srsquoapp(t)Sapp(t) is proportional to the market volume not yet 23

developed by a technology Mapp(t) ndash Sapp(t) 24

119878119886119901119901(119905) = 119872119886119901119901(119905) times1

1 + 119864119909119901(minus119872119886119901119901(119905) times (119905 minus 1199050)120591)(119872119886119901119901(119905)

119878119886119901119901(1199050)minus 1)

25

With Tau being a time constant and Sapp(t0) being the yearly sales number at year t0 (eg 26

2015) 27

Short time constants Tau of few years were used to model ESS sales Due to limitations of 28

the existing electricity grid to only buffer a certain share of fluctuating PV and wind generated 29

electricity the further expansion of renewable electricity generation might be strongly coupled 30

to ESS installations Hence ESS sales were modelled to closely follow the assumed 31

installations of renewable power in the limit of ldquovery fastrdquo market diffusion (120591 rarr 0) 32

2613 Modelling of battery system capacities 33

Battery capacities EBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws In 34

particular BEV battery capacities increased in the last years from 30 kWh in 2013 to more than 35

40 kWh in 2018 (EU sales and production averages) In the long term we expect BEV 36

capacities to converge towards a value sufficient to provide average driving ranges of some 37

100 km Battery capacity growth rates are hence supposed to slow down 38

119864119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198640 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 1

With E0 being the average battery capacity in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years and 2

b an exponent lt 1 The parameters were chosen to fit existing data 3

2614 Modelling of battery replacement rates 4

Battery replacement rates RrBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws 5

The replacement rate defines the share of batteries installed in year t that had to be replaced 6

within the lifetime of a system (xEV ESS) In particular for vehicles it is assumed that xEV 7

manufacturers currently install battery cells with a high lifetime and cyclability (several 8

thousand cycles) In the mid-term we expect that battery life and vehicle life (eg 200000 to 9

300000 km) will be matched by car manufacturers Assuming a constant vehicle lifetime 10

battery replacement rates are supposed to increase over time 11

119877119903119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198770 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 12

With R0 being the average replacement rate in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years 13

and b an exponent lt 1 At present there is no data available to fit the parameters Parameters 14

were estimated based on the usage profile and load of different applications 15

2615 Modelling of system lifetimes (xEV ESS) 16

System lifetimes Ltsystem(t) were assumed to be constant Ltsystem(t)= Ltsystem Parameters were 17

estimated based on manufacturer statements and typical lifetimes for combustion powered 18

vehicles 19

2616 Calculation of battery replacements 20

Battery replacements RpBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 21

calculated by assuming a uniform distribution of battery replacements over the lifetime 22

Ltsystem(i) of battery systems installed in year i 23

119877119901119861119886119905119905(119905) = sum119877119903119861119886119905119905(119894) times 119878119886119901119901(119894) times 119864119861119886119905119905(119894)

24

2617 Calculation of battery decommissions 25

Battery decommissions DcBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 26

assumed to happen coincident with the end of life of the systems (Ltsystem) they were installed 27

in in year i This neglects any second life usage in t gt i It was assumed that xEV or ESS 28

manufacturers will tune the battery lifetime to match the system lifetime (see 2614) 29

2618 Calculation of yearly installed battery capacity 31

The yearly installed battery capacity Sbapp(t) in the EU28 was calculated as 32

119878119887119886119901119901(119905) = 119878119886119901119901(119905) times 119864119886119901119901119861119886119905119905(119905) + 119877119901119886119901119901

energy densities and reduced costs in order to meet the requirements of the automotive 1

industry Electric passenger cars are driving the demand and thus development of the battery 2

technology and these optimized and cost reduced batteries define the benchmark today and 3

in the future 4

LIB demand by applications 5

In Figure 27 the global LIB demand is broken down to the three main sectors for battery 6

demand which can be characterised each having different profiles of requirement 7

bull electric mobility or electric vehicles (EV including eg passenger cars light 8

commercial vehicles buses trucks scooters ebikes etc) 9

bull stationary energy storage systems (ESS) and 10

bull portable devices (3C ndash Computer Communication Consumer) 11

The LIB cell demand developed to almost 25 GWh in 2010 since the market introduction in 12

the early 1990s and dominantly resulted from portable devices In 2015 the cell demand of 13

about 70 GWh was distributed already almost 5050 between 3C and EV applications 14

15

Figure 27 Global LIB demand (in GWh and share in ) by segment [34] 16

Since 2015 the global LIB demand has increased with compound annual growth rates 17

(CAGR) of ~25 from about 70 GWh to about 110 GWh in 2017 The market for electric 18

vehicles currently grows with 30-40 (and more depending on the application and region) and 19

a diversification in applications (eg buses trucks other light to heavy commercial vehicles 20

marine applications drones etc) can be observed 21

With the diversification of future markets and applications cost sensitive markets will arise for 22

which optimized high-energy and cost reduced automotive cells of certain cell formats will be 23

used However also applications with stronger requirements on long lifetime high cycleability 24

fast charging capability safety etc will emerge and diffuse where cost is not the most 25

relevant factor and other battery technologies (ie cell chemistries formats) can provide a 26

unique selling proposition and hence lead to a product differentiation 27

2341 LIB markets for 3C applications 28

Portable devices (3C) have been the main applications for LIB cells in the past Power tools 29

medical devices and wearables are expected to be products with an emerging future market 30

for small LIB cells but with enormous quantities The price per kWh that can be stored plays a 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

36

less important role for these applications As far as charging is concerned technologies such 1

as energy harvesting and wireless charging are expected to be introduced in the future For 2

many markets and products such as household devices garden cleaning power tools other 3

mobile leisure applications etc today mostly cylindrical LIB cells of the format 18650 are used 4

With the introduction of 21700 cells also larger cylindrical cells become available now and are 5

expected to be used in diffuse in such applications Although different specific cell chemistries 6

might be suitable depending on the concrete application again it can be stated that the 3C 7

segment is expected to lead to a comparably small battery capacity demand compared to the 8

EV segment and will not be the limiting segment with respect to the risk of resource 9

dependencies 10

In the next few years growth rates of about 5 to 10 percent are expected for the 3C markets 11

while laptop battery demand is developing at lower growth rates and power tools medical 12

devices etc are supporting the growth rates for the battery demand 13

14

15

Figure 28 Demand and growth of the 3C LIB market [34] 16

2342 LIB markets for stationary (ESS) applications 17

Stationary energy storage systems (ESS) can be divided into different size classes with regard 18

to the capacity and charging times Both together decide on the application area (eg small 19

PV storage at home peak load to long-term storage) [35] Beyond that the price per kWh put 20

through over the lifetime is the economic key factor (as synthesized by the LCOE levelized 21

cost of energy) In contrast gravimetric and volumetric energy density plays a subordinate 22

role Due to that lead-acid batteries were often used as storage technology for off- and on-23

grid storage Currently LIBs are being established for commercial use and meanwhile reach 24

an annual demand of some few GWh Other electrochemical storage technologies such as 25

sodium-sulfur batteries are still used but the demand for LIB is strongly increasing for ESS It 26

is expected that 2nd life concepts for batteries that had their first life in electric vehicles will 27

gain importance together with market diffusion in the EV segment as the requirements on the 28

batteries are less demanding in the ESS segment This however will require the development 29

of according business models standardization etc The much broader available technology 30

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

37

portfolio for ESS applications the use of 2nd life batteries and the fact that electric vehicle 1

batteries that are connected to the grid on a large scale with higher market diffusion can be 2

regarded as stationary storage systems as well (vehicle to grid V2G grid to vehicle G2V) help 3

to reduce the risk of technological and resource dependencies in the future 4

The market for stationary storage applications (ESS) is experiencing growth rates of 20 to 30 5

percent depending on individual market forecasts (in the last years CAGR have even been on 6

the level of 60 but decrease with increasing size of the market see Figure 29) 7

The market is currently on a level of few GWh including applications from smaller PV storage 8

systems of 5-10 kWh to larger industrial and grid connected installations for own power 9

consumption peak shaving etc on the MWh level Regarding these growth rates LIB for ESS 10

applications rapidly gain importance as de-central storage solutions compared to the currently 11

dominating central pumped hydro storage (PHS) Forecasts to 2025 differ by size and expect 12

an ESS LIB demand between 20-50 GWh (partially higher eg in [23]) but all forecasts identify 13

high growth rates 14

2343 LIB markets for electric vehicle applications 18

One of the biggest challenges for batteries for electric vehicles (EV including electric cars 19

buses trucks etc) apart from their price is the increase of their volumetric and gravimetric 20

energy density The volumetric energy density is even more important for OEM due to 21

restricted and fixed space and location of the battery in an electric vehicle A very relevant 22

parameter of a battery is its charging and discharging power in particular in continuous 23

operation It determines the fast-charging capability which is an important argument in the 24

use and the establishment on the market At the same time this sets limits to the high-25

performance operation since energy consumption is reduced to protect the battery from 26

damage This illustrates the conflicting effect of different parameters on the battery lifetime 27

Price volume weight and thus charge density as well as chargedischarge rate in terms of 28

usage and durability are the most urgent challenges for battery manufacturers 29

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

38

The market for EV batteries is currently at the level of about 50 GWh (including electric 1

passenger cars busses trucks ebikes scooter forklifts etc) Growth rates are at 20 to 40 2

percent and the demand for EV batteries will lead to a share of about 66 percent in 2020 76 3

percent until 2025 and 80 percent or higher in the long term Electric passenger cars (BEV 4

and PHEV) define the by far largest market within the EV segment and are clearly driving the 5

technology development of high energy Lithium-Ion or Lithium-based batteries in the future 6

7

9

Other motive (or stationary or portable) markets applications besides the highly competitive 10

electric passenger cars therefore can offer interesting growth markets also for smaller cell 11

producers beyond the large Japanese Korean and Chinese cell producers These markets or 12

applications very often define concrete requirements for the battery performance they require 13

an in depth understanding and design from the cell chemistry format to the modulepack and 14

system integration and they still vary strongly by region and are connected to individual system 15

integrators or OEM This is because each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses 16

and none of them can satisfy all userapplication demands Hence a broader application 17

specific technology portfolio is even urgently needed in order to provide alternative individual 18

technology solutions for these emerging marketsapplications 19

235 Market channels and production structure 21

2351 Global production capacities and major players 22

Since their commercialization in the 1990s LIB have been predominantly produced by 23

Japanese and Korean companies Driven by the Chinese government particularly cell 24

producers but also companies covering other steps of the LIB value creation chain have been 25

established in China Due to a policy of simultaneous support for LIB production as well as for 26

application markets and due to an extensive subsidy scheme a large share of LIB production 27

capacities is located in China today 28

Figure 31 Figure 32 Figure 33 and Figure 34 show the global LIB production capacities of 29

major cell producers in 2018 as well as forecasts for 2020 2025 and 2030 respectively [36] 30

The data is based on announcements made by the cell producers As discussed in section 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

39

233 the actual time-frame for the implementation of the capacity expansions is often delayed 1

with respect to the original announcements Hence minimum and maximum values for the 2

production capacities are given 3

Figure 34 Global LIB production capacities of major cell producers in 2030 [36] 2

Until 2030 the announced production capacities add up to more than 1 TWh In total there 3

are about 30 cell producers which have announced to build up production capacities of more 4

than 10 GWhyear which can be considered to be a threshold in order to be able to produce 5

at competitve costs [36] If the announced capacities are fully utilized the ldquobig 4rdquo (Panasonic 6

CATL LGC and BYD) will be able to fully cover the market demand (gt550 GWh) until 2025 7

2352 Europes position in the global battery value chain 8

In the EU several actors are positioned which cover production steps along the whole value 9

chain of LIBs starting from raw material production to production of cells and systems and 10

finally recycling However with respect to global markets only few organizations within the EU 11

have a market share of more than 1 in their specific segment eg BASF Germany in the 12

field of electrolyte production [30] 13

An overview about existing and active companies is given by the European Battery Alliance 14

(see Figure 35) Due to the presence of strong automotive OEM LIB pack manufacturing and 15

system integration is taking place on large scale in Europe A particular gap in the value chain 16

is present due to the lack of a large-scale cell production capable of serving the volumes and 17

prices required by the automotive industry 18

Several consortia are currently attempting to build up a European large scale cell 4

manufacturing such as Nothvolt (Sweden) with 32 GWh until 2023 or Saft (together with 5

Siemens and Manz) [39] Recently the German government announced plans for funding of 6

a Batterie-Cell-Alliance between Germany and Poland with cell production capacities in the 7

Regions Lausitz (Germany) and Westpoland [40 41] At the cross section between RampD and 8

large-scale production also a Research Production with 600 Mio EUR funding is foreseen 9

whereas the Fraunhofer Society should coordinate and run such a research production [42] 10

The announced funding from the German government sums up to 2 bn EUR 11

Given all these announced investments and production capacities to build up in the next years 12

the cell production capacities of European cell manufacturers could sum up to over 40 GWh 13

beyond 2025 In contrast main Asian cell manufacturer have already started with cell 14

production (eg LG SDI) or plan to build up production capacities until 2020 to 2025 In 15

concrete there are plans from [43ndash51] 16

17

bull CATL (China) to build 14 GWh in Germany Erfurt beyond 2020 18

bull LG Chem (Japan) to build 15 to 24 GWh (for 03 Mio EVs) in Poland beyond 2020 19

bull Samsung SDI (Japan) to build 10 to 15 GWh beyond 2020 in Hungary (including a 20

recent 5 GWh announcement for 21700 cells for Land Rover 21

bull SK Innovation (Japan) to build 75 GWh in Hungary beyond 2020 22

bull PanasonicTesla to build a (assumed 35GWh) Gigafactory in Europa around 2025 23

bull as well as from BYD (China) GS Yuasa (Japan) and Farasis (US) to build production 24

capacities between 2020 and 2025 25

26

The production capacities from Asian (or non-European) cell manufacturer might sum up to 27

well above 82-96 GWh by 2025 and including BYD GS Yuasa Farasis etc capacities far 28

above 100 GWh can be expected Together with the new EU cell producers this could easily 29

sum up towards the above mentioned 200 GWh demand in Europe But it also clearly indicates 30

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

44

the competition the emerging European players have to face (besides the fact that the plans 1

of the Asian companies are expected to be realized already several years earlier as those of 2

the novel EU companies) 3

2353 Product design trends and technological roadmap 4

Concerning the battery technology or type (by chemistry format etc) which will most likely 5

be produced to address this increasing demand the global roadmaps of cell producers are 6

basically similar Based on state-of-the art cell design (eg LFP NCA based ldquogeneration 1rdquo 7

and NMC111 to NMC532 ldquogeneration 2abrdquo Li-ion batteries) [52] and state-of-the-art 8

production equipment incremental improvements are expected in the next few years but with 9

the target to get to higher-energy lithium-ion batteries Concerning the electrolytes still liquid 10

electrolytes will be used but adopted to the changing electrode materials (eg with additives) 11

Current trends for layered oxide cathodes describe the development of Ni-rich (Co reduced) 12

materials (NMC) A few cell producers are already using NMC811 or comparable cathode 13

materials others are still adopting NMC622 (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3ardquo) On cathode 14

side maybe even lower-cost Mn-rich High Energy NMCs (HE-NMC) might be realized and 15

produced within ~10 years as Mn is cheaper than Ni (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3brdquo) On 16

anode side the trend is to incorporate Si-nano particles to make use of the alloying reaction 17

between Si and Li yielding a high capacitance This however comes at the cost of cycle life 18

Further down the road we might see higher Si contents (~20) 19

20

All-solid-state batteries are on the roadmap of many battery producers but also OEM (also 21

referred to as ldquogeneration 4rdquo) The key performance parameters (KPI) are suitable for electric 22

mobility (EV) Main challenges are indeed manufacturability particularly for ceramic solid state 23

electrolytes which promise to yield the highest advantages over state of the art technologies 24

The market introduction in niche applications is expected possible prior to the use in 25

automotive applications First all-solid-state batteries might not be competitive in terms of 26

energy density but safety properties Later on energy densities of 350-400 Whkg and higher 27

are expected 28

Other technologies (not marked in blue in the above figure) feature certain USPs compared to 4

Li-ion batteries but (according to the current level of knowledge) do not reach the necessary 5

KPIs in terms of energy density power density and cycling stability necessary for electric 6

mobility (these are marked in grey) USPs of these technologies can be cost resource 7

availability either volumetric or gravimetric energy density or others But often even 8

fundamental challenges are not solved yet (eg concerning the stability of materials and 9

electrochemical systems kinetics etc) 10

24 Consumer expenditure base data 2

241 General objective of subtask 24 and approach 3

Subtask 24 gives an overview about average production costs and consumer prices incl 4

VAT (for consumer prices streetprice) excl VAT (for B2B products) as well as an estimation 5

of repair and maintenance as well as installation and disposal costs 6

Due to their recent larger scale market introduction there is still little experience with 7

maintenance as well as disposal expenses Hence only estimations can be made based on 8

isolated sources 9

242 Development of LIB cell costs 10

As the core of LIB based energy storage systems the battery cell exhibits the highest cost 11

share During the last years particularly standardized 18650 format LIB cells have 12

experienced a steep cost learning curve benefiting from production scale effects but also 13

from technological advancements on material level increasing the energy density per volume 14

and weight and decreasing the amount of cost intense Cobalt-based components Compared 15

to this benchmark larger format LIB cells (Pouch prismatic) as are utilized in xEVs and ESS 16

predominantly feature lower energy densities at higher cost per kWh There are however no 17

principal limitations which would prevent a performance and cost development similar to what 18

was observed for cylindrical cells Figure 39 shows the cost learning curves for cylindrical as 19

well as larger format LIB cells [33] Today average costs for cells suitable for automotive use 20

are below 150 eurokWh (cylindrical) and around 200 eurokWh (Pouchprismatic) In specific cases 21

prices around 100 eurokWh have been reported already [53] It should however be noted that 22

with the current market situation LIB prices being below costs are not unlikely to occur 23

Until 2025 production costs of the different cell formats are expected to approach and fall 24

below the mark of 100 eurokWh between 2020 and 2025 Taking further developments on 25

material level into account costs around 60-100 eurokWh seam feasible past 2025 26

Figure 39 Cost learning curves for large LIB cells (cylindrical and Pouchprismatic) [33] 3

Similar cost learning curves have been observed for other battery technologies (see Figure 4

40) In principal cost degression can be limited by demand (compare NiCd) or by reaching 5

material cost limits (compare Pb) Also the diffusion of battery technologies in new markets 6

or applications can lead to further technological improvements and justify higher production 7

costs (compare deviation of NiMH Pb) Following the available data for LIB cells approx 100 8

$kWh (~89 eurokWh) are reached at a cumulative yearly production of 1TWh This mark is 9

expected to be reached between 2020 and 2030 10

Beyond 2030 LIB production costs are however expected to start deviating from this curve 11

due to limiting raw material prices 12

2432 ESS 7

According to recent end-customer price data provided in [55] for 2018 typical consumer prices 8

for small scale (~10 kWh) stationary home storage systems are between 5000 and 15000 9

Euros leading to a relative price of 800 to 1200 eurokWh It is expected that these system prices 10

will benefit from the growing battery markets (also xEV) since similar LIB cell types can be 11

applied in both application areas With respect to inverters and other system related costs the 12

smaller market volume of home ESS indicates lower economy of scale effects as compared 13

to cells 14

2441 xEV 16

So far no comprehensive information on repair and maintenance costs for the battery system 17

of xEVs are available Due to still rather accommodating service policies repair or 18

2451 Second life and recycling considerations 6

Until today only pilot projects Strategy of automotive OEM regarding second life applications 7

is not known 8

Value of recycled materials can be estimated 9

Three main scenarios possible after end of 1st life (xEV) 10

1 Disposal of batteries (eg separation of liquid and solid components hazardous waste 11

disposal) 12

2 Recycling of batteries and direct regeneration and re-use of cathode materials (2a) or 13

recovery of metals (2b) 14

3 2nd life in ESS applications under limited load (low DOD cycling low power) 15

16

Scenario 1 will add another component to battery costs scenario 2 and 3 could significantly 17

decrease the cost of batteries if energy efficient recycling methods can be developed or viable 18

2nd life business models are established 19

26 Annex 1

2611 Modelling of addressable markets for electric applications 2

Vehicle markets (in units of registrations in the EU28 per year) and ESS markets (in units of 3

number of installed home PV systems or in units of overall renewable (PV wind) electricity 4

generation in the EU28 per year) were modelled by exponential functions 5

119872119905119886119901119901(119905) = 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 6

With Mtapp(t) being the total market volume of an application M0 the market size in 2015 and 7

120591 times 119871119899(2) the time t necessary to double the initial market volume M0 M0 and Tau were chosen 8

to fit existing market data 9

119872119886119901119901(119905) = 119888 times 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 10

With Mapp(t) being the addressable market and c a factor equal or smaller than 1 Parameter 11

c lt 1 was chosen to take into account that not the whole existing market Mtapp might be 12

addressable by electric technologies Eg a share of vehicles primarily used for long distance 13

travel might not be addressable by BEV but by PHEV only 14

The market addressable for passenger PHEV (as a transition technology on the path to full 15

electric vehicles) was modelled as the difference of total vehicle sales and BEV sales 16

119872119875119867119864119881(119905) = 119888 times 119872119905119901119886119904119904119890119899119892119890119903(119905) minus 119878119861119864119881(119905) 17

The market addressable for passenger BEV was modelled like Mapp(t) with c lt 1 18

2612 Modelling of sales numbers of xEV and ESS 19

Yearly sales numbers Sapp(t) for the different applications were modelled by logistic growth 20

functions Logistic functions can model diffusion of technologies into existing markets with a 21

given market volume M The market volume can be a moving target M = M(t) The relative 22

change of sales numbers Srsquoapp(t)Sapp(t) is proportional to the market volume not yet 23

developed by a technology Mapp(t) ndash Sapp(t) 24

119878119886119901119901(119905) = 119872119886119901119901(119905) times1

1 + 119864119909119901(minus119872119886119901119901(119905) times (119905 minus 1199050)120591)(119872119886119901119901(119905)

119878119886119901119901(1199050)minus 1)

25

With Tau being a time constant and Sapp(t0) being the yearly sales number at year t0 (eg 26

2015) 27

Short time constants Tau of few years were used to model ESS sales Due to limitations of 28

the existing electricity grid to only buffer a certain share of fluctuating PV and wind generated 29

electricity the further expansion of renewable electricity generation might be strongly coupled 30

to ESS installations Hence ESS sales were modelled to closely follow the assumed 31

installations of renewable power in the limit of ldquovery fastrdquo market diffusion (120591 rarr 0) 32

2613 Modelling of battery system capacities 33

Battery capacities EBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws In 34

particular BEV battery capacities increased in the last years from 30 kWh in 2013 to more than 35

40 kWh in 2018 (EU sales and production averages) In the long term we expect BEV 36

capacities to converge towards a value sufficient to provide average driving ranges of some 37

100 km Battery capacity growth rates are hence supposed to slow down 38

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

119864119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198640 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 1

With E0 being the average battery capacity in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years and 2

b an exponent lt 1 The parameters were chosen to fit existing data 3

2614 Modelling of battery replacement rates 4

Battery replacement rates RrBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws 5

The replacement rate defines the share of batteries installed in year t that had to be replaced 6

within the lifetime of a system (xEV ESS) In particular for vehicles it is assumed that xEV 7

manufacturers currently install battery cells with a high lifetime and cyclability (several 8

thousand cycles) In the mid-term we expect that battery life and vehicle life (eg 200000 to 9

300000 km) will be matched by car manufacturers Assuming a constant vehicle lifetime 10

battery replacement rates are supposed to increase over time 11

119877119903119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198770 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 12

With R0 being the average replacement rate in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years 13

and b an exponent lt 1 At present there is no data available to fit the parameters Parameters 14

were estimated based on the usage profile and load of different applications 15

2615 Modelling of system lifetimes (xEV ESS) 16

System lifetimes Ltsystem(t) were assumed to be constant Ltsystem(t)= Ltsystem Parameters were 17

estimated based on manufacturer statements and typical lifetimes for combustion powered 18

vehicles 19

2616 Calculation of battery replacements 20

Battery replacements RpBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 21

calculated by assuming a uniform distribution of battery replacements over the lifetime 22

Ltsystem(i) of battery systems installed in year i 23

2617 Calculation of battery decommissions 25

Battery decommissions DcBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 26

assumed to happen coincident with the end of life of the systems (Ltsystem) they were installed 27

in in year i This neglects any second life usage in t gt i It was assumed that xEV or ESS 28

manufacturers will tune the battery lifetime to match the system lifetime (see 2614) 29

The yearly installed battery capacity Sbapp(t) in the EU28 was calculated as 32

119878119887119886119901119901(119905) = 119878119886119901119901(119905) times 119864119886119901119901119861119886119905119905(119905) + 119877119901119886119901119901

less important role for these applications As far as charging is concerned technologies such 1

as energy harvesting and wireless charging are expected to be introduced in the future For 2

many markets and products such as household devices garden cleaning power tools other 3

mobile leisure applications etc today mostly cylindrical LIB cells of the format 18650 are used 4

With the introduction of 21700 cells also larger cylindrical cells become available now and are 5

expected to be used in diffuse in such applications Although different specific cell chemistries 6

might be suitable depending on the concrete application again it can be stated that the 3C 7

segment is expected to lead to a comparably small battery capacity demand compared to the 8

EV segment and will not be the limiting segment with respect to the risk of resource 9

dependencies 10

In the next few years growth rates of about 5 to 10 percent are expected for the 3C markets 11

while laptop battery demand is developing at lower growth rates and power tools medical 12

devices etc are supporting the growth rates for the battery demand 13

14

15

Figure 28 Demand and growth of the 3C LIB market [34] 16

2342 LIB markets for stationary (ESS) applications 17

Stationary energy storage systems (ESS) can be divided into different size classes with regard 18

to the capacity and charging times Both together decide on the application area (eg small 19

PV storage at home peak load to long-term storage) [35] Beyond that the price per kWh put 20

through over the lifetime is the economic key factor (as synthesized by the LCOE levelized 21

cost of energy) In contrast gravimetric and volumetric energy density plays a subordinate 22

role Due to that lead-acid batteries were often used as storage technology for off- and on-23

grid storage Currently LIBs are being established for commercial use and meanwhile reach 24

an annual demand of some few GWh Other electrochemical storage technologies such as 25

sodium-sulfur batteries are still used but the demand for LIB is strongly increasing for ESS It 26

is expected that 2nd life concepts for batteries that had their first life in electric vehicles will 27

gain importance together with market diffusion in the EV segment as the requirements on the 28

batteries are less demanding in the ESS segment This however will require the development 29

of according business models standardization etc The much broader available technology 30

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

37

portfolio for ESS applications the use of 2nd life batteries and the fact that electric vehicle 1

batteries that are connected to the grid on a large scale with higher market diffusion can be 2

regarded as stationary storage systems as well (vehicle to grid V2G grid to vehicle G2V) help 3

to reduce the risk of technological and resource dependencies in the future 4

The market for stationary storage applications (ESS) is experiencing growth rates of 20 to 30 5

percent depending on individual market forecasts (in the last years CAGR have even been on 6

the level of 60 but decrease with increasing size of the market see Figure 29) 7

The market is currently on a level of few GWh including applications from smaller PV storage 8

systems of 5-10 kWh to larger industrial and grid connected installations for own power 9

consumption peak shaving etc on the MWh level Regarding these growth rates LIB for ESS 10

applications rapidly gain importance as de-central storage solutions compared to the currently 11

dominating central pumped hydro storage (PHS) Forecasts to 2025 differ by size and expect 12

an ESS LIB demand between 20-50 GWh (partially higher eg in [23]) but all forecasts identify 13

high growth rates 14

15

Figure 29 Demand and growth of the ESS LIB market [34] 16

17

2343 LIB markets for electric vehicle applications 18

One of the biggest challenges for batteries for electric vehicles (EV including electric cars 19

buses trucks etc) apart from their price is the increase of their volumetric and gravimetric 20

energy density The volumetric energy density is even more important for OEM due to 21

restricted and fixed space and location of the battery in an electric vehicle A very relevant 22

parameter of a battery is its charging and discharging power in particular in continuous 23

operation It determines the fast-charging capability which is an important argument in the 24

use and the establishment on the market At the same time this sets limits to the high-25

performance operation since energy consumption is reduced to protect the battery from 26

damage This illustrates the conflicting effect of different parameters on the battery lifetime 27

Price volume weight and thus charge density as well as chargedischarge rate in terms of 28

usage and durability are the most urgent challenges for battery manufacturers 29

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

38

The market for EV batteries is currently at the level of about 50 GWh (including electric 1

passenger cars busses trucks ebikes scooter forklifts etc) Growth rates are at 20 to 40 2

percent and the demand for EV batteries will lead to a share of about 66 percent in 2020 76 3

percent until 2025 and 80 percent or higher in the long term Electric passenger cars (BEV 4

and PHEV) define the by far largest market within the EV segment and are clearly driving the 5

technology development of high energy Lithium-Ion or Lithium-based batteries in the future 6

7

Figure 30 Demand and growth of the EV LIB market [34] 8

9

Other motive (or stationary or portable) markets applications besides the highly competitive 10

electric passenger cars therefore can offer interesting growth markets also for smaller cell 11

producers beyond the large Japanese Korean and Chinese cell producers These markets or 12

applications very often define concrete requirements for the battery performance they require 13

an in depth understanding and design from the cell chemistry format to the modulepack and 14

system integration and they still vary strongly by region and are connected to individual system 15

integrators or OEM This is because each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses 16

and none of them can satisfy all userapplication demands Hence a broader application 17

specific technology portfolio is even urgently needed in order to provide alternative individual 18

technology solutions for these emerging marketsapplications 19

20

235 Market channels and production structure 21

2351 Global production capacities and major players 22

Since their commercialization in the 1990s LIB have been predominantly produced by 23

Japanese and Korean companies Driven by the Chinese government particularly cell 24

producers but also companies covering other steps of the LIB value creation chain have been 25

established in China Due to a policy of simultaneous support for LIB production as well as for 26

application markets and due to an extensive subsidy scheme a large share of LIB production 27

capacities is located in China today 28

Figure 31 Figure 32 Figure 33 and Figure 34 show the global LIB production capacities of 29

major cell producers in 2018 as well as forecasts for 2020 2025 and 2030 respectively [36] 30

The data is based on announcements made by the cell producers As discussed in section 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

39

233 the actual time-frame for the implementation of the capacity expansions is often delayed 1

with respect to the original announcements Hence minimum and maximum values for the 2

production capacities are given 3

41

Figure 34 Global LIB production capacities of major cell producers in 2030 [36] 2

Until 2030 the announced production capacities add up to more than 1 TWh In total there 3

are about 30 cell producers which have announced to build up production capacities of more 4

than 10 GWhyear which can be considered to be a threshold in order to be able to produce 5

at competitve costs [36] If the announced capacities are fully utilized the ldquobig 4rdquo (Panasonic 6

CATL LGC and BYD) will be able to fully cover the market demand (gt550 GWh) until 2025 7

2352 Europes position in the global battery value chain 8

In the EU several actors are positioned which cover production steps along the whole value 9

chain of LIBs starting from raw material production to production of cells and systems and 10

finally recycling However with respect to global markets only few organizations within the EU 11

have a market share of more than 1 in their specific segment eg BASF Germany in the 12

field of electrolyte production [30] 13

An overview about existing and active companies is given by the European Battery Alliance 14

(see Figure 35) Due to the presence of strong automotive OEM LIB pack manufacturing and 15

system integration is taking place on large scale in Europe A particular gap in the value chain 16

is present due to the lack of a large-scale cell production capable of serving the volumes and 17

prices required by the automotive industry 18

Several consortia are currently attempting to build up a European large scale cell 4

manufacturing such as Nothvolt (Sweden) with 32 GWh until 2023 or Saft (together with 5

Siemens and Manz) [39] Recently the German government announced plans for funding of 6

a Batterie-Cell-Alliance between Germany and Poland with cell production capacities in the 7

Regions Lausitz (Germany) and Westpoland [40 41] At the cross section between RampD and 8

large-scale production also a Research Production with 600 Mio EUR funding is foreseen 9

whereas the Fraunhofer Society should coordinate and run such a research production [42] 10

The announced funding from the German government sums up to 2 bn EUR 11

Given all these announced investments and production capacities to build up in the next years 12

the cell production capacities of European cell manufacturers could sum up to over 40 GWh 13

beyond 2025 In contrast main Asian cell manufacturer have already started with cell 14

production (eg LG SDI) or plan to build up production capacities until 2020 to 2025 In 15

concrete there are plans from [43ndash51] 16

17

bull CATL (China) to build 14 GWh in Germany Erfurt beyond 2020 18

bull LG Chem (Japan) to build 15 to 24 GWh (for 03 Mio EVs) in Poland beyond 2020 19

bull Samsung SDI (Japan) to build 10 to 15 GWh beyond 2020 in Hungary (including a 20

recent 5 GWh announcement for 21700 cells for Land Rover 21

bull SK Innovation (Japan) to build 75 GWh in Hungary beyond 2020 22

bull PanasonicTesla to build a (assumed 35GWh) Gigafactory in Europa around 2025 23

bull as well as from BYD (China) GS Yuasa (Japan) and Farasis (US) to build production 24

capacities between 2020 and 2025 25

26

The production capacities from Asian (or non-European) cell manufacturer might sum up to 27

well above 82-96 GWh by 2025 and including BYD GS Yuasa Farasis etc capacities far 28

above 100 GWh can be expected Together with the new EU cell producers this could easily 29

sum up towards the above mentioned 200 GWh demand in Europe But it also clearly indicates 30

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

44

the competition the emerging European players have to face (besides the fact that the plans 1

of the Asian companies are expected to be realized already several years earlier as those of 2

the novel EU companies) 3

2353 Product design trends and technological roadmap 4

Concerning the battery technology or type (by chemistry format etc) which will most likely 5

be produced to address this increasing demand the global roadmaps of cell producers are 6

basically similar Based on state-of-the art cell design (eg LFP NCA based ldquogeneration 1rdquo 7

and NMC111 to NMC532 ldquogeneration 2abrdquo Li-ion batteries) [52] and state-of-the-art 8

production equipment incremental improvements are expected in the next few years but with 9

the target to get to higher-energy lithium-ion batteries Concerning the electrolytes still liquid 10

electrolytes will be used but adopted to the changing electrode materials (eg with additives) 11

Current trends for layered oxide cathodes describe the development of Ni-rich (Co reduced) 12

materials (NMC) A few cell producers are already using NMC811 or comparable cathode 13

materials others are still adopting NMC622 (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3ardquo) On cathode 14

side maybe even lower-cost Mn-rich High Energy NMCs (HE-NMC) might be realized and 15

produced within ~10 years as Mn is cheaper than Ni (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3brdquo) On 16

anode side the trend is to incorporate Si-nano particles to make use of the alloying reaction 17

between Si and Li yielding a high capacitance This however comes at the cost of cycle life 18

Further down the road we might see higher Si contents (~20) 19

20

All-solid-state batteries are on the roadmap of many battery producers but also OEM (also 21

referred to as ldquogeneration 4rdquo) The key performance parameters (KPI) are suitable for electric 22

mobility (EV) Main challenges are indeed manufacturability particularly for ceramic solid state 23

electrolytes which promise to yield the highest advantages over state of the art technologies 24

The market introduction in niche applications is expected possible prior to the use in 25

automotive applications First all-solid-state batteries might not be competitive in terms of 26

energy density but safety properties Later on energy densities of 350-400 Whkg and higher 27

are expected 28

Other technologies (not marked in blue in the above figure) feature certain USPs compared to 4

Li-ion batteries but (according to the current level of knowledge) do not reach the necessary 5

KPIs in terms of energy density power density and cycling stability necessary for electric 6

mobility (these are marked in grey) USPs of these technologies can be cost resource 7

availability either volumetric or gravimetric energy density or others But often even 8

fundamental challenges are not solved yet (eg concerning the stability of materials and 9

electrochemical systems kinetics etc) 10

24 Consumer expenditure base data 2

241 General objective of subtask 24 and approach 3

Subtask 24 gives an overview about average production costs and consumer prices incl 4

VAT (for consumer prices streetprice) excl VAT (for B2B products) as well as an estimation 5

of repair and maintenance as well as installation and disposal costs 6

Due to their recent larger scale market introduction there is still little experience with 7

maintenance as well as disposal expenses Hence only estimations can be made based on 8

isolated sources 9

242 Development of LIB cell costs 10

As the core of LIB based energy storage systems the battery cell exhibits the highest cost 11

share During the last years particularly standardized 18650 format LIB cells have 12

experienced a steep cost learning curve benefiting from production scale effects but also 13

from technological advancements on material level increasing the energy density per volume 14

and weight and decreasing the amount of cost intense Cobalt-based components Compared 15

to this benchmark larger format LIB cells (Pouch prismatic) as are utilized in xEVs and ESS 16

predominantly feature lower energy densities at higher cost per kWh There are however no 17

principal limitations which would prevent a performance and cost development similar to what 18

was observed for cylindrical cells Figure 39 shows the cost learning curves for cylindrical as 19

well as larger format LIB cells [33] Today average costs for cells suitable for automotive use 20

are below 150 eurokWh (cylindrical) and around 200 eurokWh (Pouchprismatic) In specific cases 21

prices around 100 eurokWh have been reported already [53] It should however be noted that 22

with the current market situation LIB prices being below costs are not unlikely to occur 23

Until 2025 production costs of the different cell formats are expected to approach and fall 24

below the mark of 100 eurokWh between 2020 and 2025 Taking further developments on 25

material level into account costs around 60-100 eurokWh seam feasible past 2025 26

Figure 39 Cost learning curves for large LIB cells (cylindrical and Pouchprismatic) [33] 3

Similar cost learning curves have been observed for other battery technologies (see Figure 4

40) In principal cost degression can be limited by demand (compare NiCd) or by reaching 5

material cost limits (compare Pb) Also the diffusion of battery technologies in new markets 6

or applications can lead to further technological improvements and justify higher production 7

costs (compare deviation of NiMH Pb) Following the available data for LIB cells approx 100 8

$kWh (~89 eurokWh) are reached at a cumulative yearly production of 1TWh This mark is 9

expected to be reached between 2020 and 2030 10

Beyond 2030 LIB production costs are however expected to start deviating from this curve 11

due to limiting raw material prices 12

2432 ESS 7

According to recent end-customer price data provided in [55] for 2018 typical consumer prices 8

for small scale (~10 kWh) stationary home storage systems are between 5000 and 15000 9

Euros leading to a relative price of 800 to 1200 eurokWh It is expected that these system prices 10

will benefit from the growing battery markets (also xEV) since similar LIB cell types can be 11

applied in both application areas With respect to inverters and other system related costs the 12

smaller market volume of home ESS indicates lower economy of scale effects as compared 13

to cells 14

244 Installation repair and maintenance costs 15

2441 xEV 16

So far no comprehensive information on repair and maintenance costs for the battery system 17

of xEVs are available Due to still rather accommodating service policies repair or 18

replacement of batteries is so far often covered by the manufacturer 19

is not known 8

Value of recycled materials can be estimated 9

Three main scenarios possible after end of 1st life (xEV) 10

1 Disposal of batteries (eg separation of liquid and solid components hazardous waste 11

disposal) 12

2 Recycling of batteries and direct regeneration and re-use of cathode materials (2a) or 13

recovery of metals (2b) 14

3 2nd life in ESS applications under limited load (low DOD cycling low power) 15

16

Scenario 1 will add another component to battery costs scenario 2 and 3 could significantly 17

decrease the cost of batteries if energy efficient recycling methods can be developed or viable 18

2nd life business models are established 19

26 Annex 1

2611 Modelling of addressable markets for electric applications 2

Vehicle markets (in units of registrations in the EU28 per year) and ESS markets (in units of 3

number of installed home PV systems or in units of overall renewable (PV wind) electricity 4

generation in the EU28 per year) were modelled by exponential functions 5

119872119905119886119901119901(119905) = 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 6

With Mtapp(t) being the total market volume of an application M0 the market size in 2015 and 7

120591 times 119871119899(2) the time t necessary to double the initial market volume M0 M0 and Tau were chosen 8

to fit existing market data 9

119872119886119901119901(119905) = 119888 times 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 10

With Mapp(t) being the addressable market and c a factor equal or smaller than 1 Parameter 11

c lt 1 was chosen to take into account that not the whole existing market Mtapp might be 12

addressable by electric technologies Eg a share of vehicles primarily used for long distance 13

travel might not be addressable by BEV but by PHEV only 14

The market addressable for passenger PHEV (as a transition technology on the path to full 15

electric vehicles) was modelled as the difference of total vehicle sales and BEV sales 16

119872119875119867119864119881(119905) = 119888 times 119872119905119901119886119904119904119890119899119892119890119903(119905) minus 119878119861119864119881(119905) 17

The market addressable for passenger BEV was modelled like Mapp(t) with c lt 1 18

2612 Modelling of sales numbers of xEV and ESS 19

Yearly sales numbers Sapp(t) for the different applications were modelled by logistic growth 20

functions Logistic functions can model diffusion of technologies into existing markets with a 21

given market volume M The market volume can be a moving target M = M(t) The relative 22

change of sales numbers Srsquoapp(t)Sapp(t) is proportional to the market volume not yet 23

developed by a technology Mapp(t) ndash Sapp(t) 24

119878119886119901119901(119905) = 119872119886119901119901(119905) times1

1 + 119864119909119901(minus119872119886119901119901(119905) times (119905 minus 1199050)120591)(119872119886119901119901(119905)

119878119886119901119901(1199050)minus 1)

25

With Tau being a time constant and Sapp(t0) being the yearly sales number at year t0 (eg 26

2015) 27

Short time constants Tau of few years were used to model ESS sales Due to limitations of 28

the existing electricity grid to only buffer a certain share of fluctuating PV and wind generated 29

electricity the further expansion of renewable electricity generation might be strongly coupled 30

to ESS installations Hence ESS sales were modelled to closely follow the assumed 31

installations of renewable power in the limit of ldquovery fastrdquo market diffusion (120591 rarr 0) 32

2613 Modelling of battery system capacities 33

Battery capacities EBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws In 34

particular BEV battery capacities increased in the last years from 30 kWh in 2013 to more than 35

40 kWh in 2018 (EU sales and production averages) In the long term we expect BEV 36

capacities to converge towards a value sufficient to provide average driving ranges of some 37

100 km Battery capacity growth rates are hence supposed to slow down 38

119864119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198640 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 1

With E0 being the average battery capacity in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years and 2

b an exponent lt 1 The parameters were chosen to fit existing data 3

2614 Modelling of battery replacement rates 4

Battery replacement rates RrBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws 5

The replacement rate defines the share of batteries installed in year t that had to be replaced 6

within the lifetime of a system (xEV ESS) In particular for vehicles it is assumed that xEV 7

manufacturers currently install battery cells with a high lifetime and cyclability (several 8

thousand cycles) In the mid-term we expect that battery life and vehicle life (eg 200000 to 9

300000 km) will be matched by car manufacturers Assuming a constant vehicle lifetime 10

battery replacement rates are supposed to increase over time 11

119877119903119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198770 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 12

With R0 being the average replacement rate in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years 13

and b an exponent lt 1 At present there is no data available to fit the parameters Parameters 14

were estimated based on the usage profile and load of different applications 15

2615 Modelling of system lifetimes (xEV ESS) 16

System lifetimes Ltsystem(t) were assumed to be constant Ltsystem(t)= Ltsystem Parameters were 17

estimated based on manufacturer statements and typical lifetimes for combustion powered 18

vehicles 19

2616 Calculation of battery replacements 20

Battery replacements RpBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 21

calculated by assuming a uniform distribution of battery replacements over the lifetime 22

Ltsystem(i) of battery systems installed in year i 23

119877119901119861119886119905119905(119905) = sum119877119903119861119886119905119905(119894) times 119878119886119901119901(119894) times 119864119861119886119905119905(119894)

24

2617 Calculation of battery decommissions 25

Battery decommissions DcBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 26

assumed to happen coincident with the end of life of the systems (Ltsystem) they were installed 27

in in year i This neglects any second life usage in t gt i It was assumed that xEV or ESS 28

manufacturers will tune the battery lifetime to match the system lifetime (see 2614) 29

2618 Calculation of yearly installed battery capacity 31

The yearly installed battery capacity Sbapp(t) in the EU28 was calculated as 32

119878119887119886119901119901(119905) = 119878119886119901119901(119905) times 119864119886119901119901119861119886119905119905(119905) + 119877119901119886119901119901

portfolio for ESS applications the use of 2nd life batteries and the fact that electric vehicle 1

batteries that are connected to the grid on a large scale with higher market diffusion can be 2

regarded as stationary storage systems as well (vehicle to grid V2G grid to vehicle G2V) help 3

to reduce the risk of technological and resource dependencies in the future 4

The market for stationary storage applications (ESS) is experiencing growth rates of 20 to 30 5

percent depending on individual market forecasts (in the last years CAGR have even been on 6

the level of 60 but decrease with increasing size of the market see Figure 29) 7

The market is currently on a level of few GWh including applications from smaller PV storage 8

systems of 5-10 kWh to larger industrial and grid connected installations for own power 9

consumption peak shaving etc on the MWh level Regarding these growth rates LIB for ESS 10

applications rapidly gain importance as de-central storage solutions compared to the currently 11

dominating central pumped hydro storage (PHS) Forecasts to 2025 differ by size and expect 12

an ESS LIB demand between 20-50 GWh (partially higher eg in [23]) but all forecasts identify 13

high growth rates 14

17

2343 LIB markets for electric vehicle applications 18

One of the biggest challenges for batteries for electric vehicles (EV including electric cars 19

buses trucks etc) apart from their price is the increase of their volumetric and gravimetric 20

energy density The volumetric energy density is even more important for OEM due to 21

restricted and fixed space and location of the battery in an electric vehicle A very relevant 22

parameter of a battery is its charging and discharging power in particular in continuous 23

operation It determines the fast-charging capability which is an important argument in the 24

use and the establishment on the market At the same time this sets limits to the high-25

performance operation since energy consumption is reduced to protect the battery from 26

damage This illustrates the conflicting effect of different parameters on the battery lifetime 27

Price volume weight and thus charge density as well as chargedischarge rate in terms of 28

usage and durability are the most urgent challenges for battery manufacturers 29

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

38

The market for EV batteries is currently at the level of about 50 GWh (including electric 1

passenger cars busses trucks ebikes scooter forklifts etc) Growth rates are at 20 to 40 2

percent and the demand for EV batteries will lead to a share of about 66 percent in 2020 76 3

percent until 2025 and 80 percent or higher in the long term Electric passenger cars (BEV 4

and PHEV) define the by far largest market within the EV segment and are clearly driving the 5

technology development of high energy Lithium-Ion or Lithium-based batteries in the future 6

7

Figure 30 Demand and growth of the EV LIB market [34] 8

9

Other motive (or stationary or portable) markets applications besides the highly competitive 10

electric passenger cars therefore can offer interesting growth markets also for smaller cell 11

producers beyond the large Japanese Korean and Chinese cell producers These markets or 12

applications very often define concrete requirements for the battery performance they require 13

an in depth understanding and design from the cell chemistry format to the modulepack and 14

system integration and they still vary strongly by region and are connected to individual system 15

integrators or OEM This is because each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses 16

and none of them can satisfy all userapplication demands Hence a broader application 17

specific technology portfolio is even urgently needed in order to provide alternative individual 18

technology solutions for these emerging marketsapplications 19

20

235 Market channels and production structure 21

2351 Global production capacities and major players 22

Since their commercialization in the 1990s LIB have been predominantly produced by 23

Japanese and Korean companies Driven by the Chinese government particularly cell 24

producers but also companies covering other steps of the LIB value creation chain have been 25

established in China Due to a policy of simultaneous support for LIB production as well as for 26

application markets and due to an extensive subsidy scheme a large share of LIB production 27

capacities is located in China today 28

Figure 31 Figure 32 Figure 33 and Figure 34 show the global LIB production capacities of 29

major cell producers in 2018 as well as forecasts for 2020 2025 and 2030 respectively [36] 30

The data is based on announcements made by the cell producers As discussed in section 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

39

233 the actual time-frame for the implementation of the capacity expansions is often delayed 1

with respect to the original announcements Hence minimum and maximum values for the 2

production capacities are given 3

Figure 34 Global LIB production capacities of major cell producers in 2030 [36] 2

Until 2030 the announced production capacities add up to more than 1 TWh In total there 3

are about 30 cell producers which have announced to build up production capacities of more 4

than 10 GWhyear which can be considered to be a threshold in order to be able to produce 5

at competitve costs [36] If the announced capacities are fully utilized the ldquobig 4rdquo (Panasonic 6

CATL LGC and BYD) will be able to fully cover the market demand (gt550 GWh) until 2025 7

2352 Europes position in the global battery value chain 8

In the EU several actors are positioned which cover production steps along the whole value 9

chain of LIBs starting from raw material production to production of cells and systems and 10

finally recycling However with respect to global markets only few organizations within the EU 11

have a market share of more than 1 in their specific segment eg BASF Germany in the 12

field of electrolyte production [30] 13

An overview about existing and active companies is given by the European Battery Alliance 14

(see Figure 35) Due to the presence of strong automotive OEM LIB pack manufacturing and 15

system integration is taking place on large scale in Europe A particular gap in the value chain 16

is present due to the lack of a large-scale cell production capable of serving the volumes and 17

prices required by the automotive industry 18

Several consortia are currently attempting to build up a European large scale cell 4

manufacturing such as Nothvolt (Sweden) with 32 GWh until 2023 or Saft (together with 5

Siemens and Manz) [39] Recently the German government announced plans for funding of 6

a Batterie-Cell-Alliance between Germany and Poland with cell production capacities in the 7

Regions Lausitz (Germany) and Westpoland [40 41] At the cross section between RampD and 8

large-scale production also a Research Production with 600 Mio EUR funding is foreseen 9

whereas the Fraunhofer Society should coordinate and run such a research production [42] 10

The announced funding from the German government sums up to 2 bn EUR 11

Given all these announced investments and production capacities to build up in the next years 12

the cell production capacities of European cell manufacturers could sum up to over 40 GWh 13

beyond 2025 In contrast main Asian cell manufacturer have already started with cell 14

production (eg LG SDI) or plan to build up production capacities until 2020 to 2025 In 15

concrete there are plans from [43ndash51] 16

17

bull CATL (China) to build 14 GWh in Germany Erfurt beyond 2020 18

bull LG Chem (Japan) to build 15 to 24 GWh (for 03 Mio EVs) in Poland beyond 2020 19

bull Samsung SDI (Japan) to build 10 to 15 GWh beyond 2020 in Hungary (including a 20

recent 5 GWh announcement for 21700 cells for Land Rover 21

bull SK Innovation (Japan) to build 75 GWh in Hungary beyond 2020 22

bull PanasonicTesla to build a (assumed 35GWh) Gigafactory in Europa around 2025 23

bull as well as from BYD (China) GS Yuasa (Japan) and Farasis (US) to build production 24

capacities between 2020 and 2025 25

26

The production capacities from Asian (or non-European) cell manufacturer might sum up to 27

well above 82-96 GWh by 2025 and including BYD GS Yuasa Farasis etc capacities far 28

above 100 GWh can be expected Together with the new EU cell producers this could easily 29

sum up towards the above mentioned 200 GWh demand in Europe But it also clearly indicates 30

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

44

the competition the emerging European players have to face (besides the fact that the plans 1

of the Asian companies are expected to be realized already several years earlier as those of 2

the novel EU companies) 3

2353 Product design trends and technological roadmap 4

Concerning the battery technology or type (by chemistry format etc) which will most likely 5

be produced to address this increasing demand the global roadmaps of cell producers are 6

basically similar Based on state-of-the art cell design (eg LFP NCA based ldquogeneration 1rdquo 7

and NMC111 to NMC532 ldquogeneration 2abrdquo Li-ion batteries) [52] and state-of-the-art 8

production equipment incremental improvements are expected in the next few years but with 9

the target to get to higher-energy lithium-ion batteries Concerning the electrolytes still liquid 10

electrolytes will be used but adopted to the changing electrode materials (eg with additives) 11

Current trends for layered oxide cathodes describe the development of Ni-rich (Co reduced) 12

materials (NMC) A few cell producers are already using NMC811 or comparable cathode 13

materials others are still adopting NMC622 (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3ardquo) On cathode 14

side maybe even lower-cost Mn-rich High Energy NMCs (HE-NMC) might be realized and 15

produced within ~10 years as Mn is cheaper than Ni (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3brdquo) On 16

anode side the trend is to incorporate Si-nano particles to make use of the alloying reaction 17

between Si and Li yielding a high capacitance This however comes at the cost of cycle life 18

Further down the road we might see higher Si contents (~20) 19

20

All-solid-state batteries are on the roadmap of many battery producers but also OEM (also 21

referred to as ldquogeneration 4rdquo) The key performance parameters (KPI) are suitable for electric 22

mobility (EV) Main challenges are indeed manufacturability particularly for ceramic solid state 23

electrolytes which promise to yield the highest advantages over state of the art technologies 24

The market introduction in niche applications is expected possible prior to the use in 25

automotive applications First all-solid-state batteries might not be competitive in terms of 26

energy density but safety properties Later on energy densities of 350-400 Whkg and higher 27

are expected 28

Other technologies (not marked in blue in the above figure) feature certain USPs compared to 4

Li-ion batteries but (according to the current level of knowledge) do not reach the necessary 5

KPIs in terms of energy density power density and cycling stability necessary for electric 6

mobility (these are marked in grey) USPs of these technologies can be cost resource 7

availability either volumetric or gravimetric energy density or others But often even 8

fundamental challenges are not solved yet (eg concerning the stability of materials and 9

electrochemical systems kinetics etc) 10

24 Consumer expenditure base data 2

241 General objective of subtask 24 and approach 3

Subtask 24 gives an overview about average production costs and consumer prices incl 4

VAT (for consumer prices streetprice) excl VAT (for B2B products) as well as an estimation 5

of repair and maintenance as well as installation and disposal costs 6

Due to their recent larger scale market introduction there is still little experience with 7

maintenance as well as disposal expenses Hence only estimations can be made based on 8

isolated sources 9

242 Development of LIB cell costs 10

As the core of LIB based energy storage systems the battery cell exhibits the highest cost 11

share During the last years particularly standardized 18650 format LIB cells have 12

experienced a steep cost learning curve benefiting from production scale effects but also 13

from technological advancements on material level increasing the energy density per volume 14

and weight and decreasing the amount of cost intense Cobalt-based components Compared 15

to this benchmark larger format LIB cells (Pouch prismatic) as are utilized in xEVs and ESS 16

predominantly feature lower energy densities at higher cost per kWh There are however no 17

principal limitations which would prevent a performance and cost development similar to what 18

was observed for cylindrical cells Figure 39 shows the cost learning curves for cylindrical as 19

well as larger format LIB cells [33] Today average costs for cells suitable for automotive use 20

are below 150 eurokWh (cylindrical) and around 200 eurokWh (Pouchprismatic) In specific cases 21

prices around 100 eurokWh have been reported already [53] It should however be noted that 22

with the current market situation LIB prices being below costs are not unlikely to occur 23

Until 2025 production costs of the different cell formats are expected to approach and fall 24

below the mark of 100 eurokWh between 2020 and 2025 Taking further developments on 25

material level into account costs around 60-100 eurokWh seam feasible past 2025 26

Figure 39 Cost learning curves for large LIB cells (cylindrical and Pouchprismatic) [33] 3

Similar cost learning curves have been observed for other battery technologies (see Figure 4

40) In principal cost degression can be limited by demand (compare NiCd) or by reaching 5

material cost limits (compare Pb) Also the diffusion of battery technologies in new markets 6

or applications can lead to further technological improvements and justify higher production 7

costs (compare deviation of NiMH Pb) Following the available data for LIB cells approx 100 8

$kWh (~89 eurokWh) are reached at a cumulative yearly production of 1TWh This mark is 9

expected to be reached between 2020 and 2030 10

Beyond 2030 LIB production costs are however expected to start deviating from this curve 11

due to limiting raw material prices 12

2432 ESS 7

According to recent end-customer price data provided in [55] for 2018 typical consumer prices 8

for small scale (~10 kWh) stationary home storage systems are between 5000 and 15000 9

Euros leading to a relative price of 800 to 1200 eurokWh It is expected that these system prices 10

will benefit from the growing battery markets (also xEV) since similar LIB cell types can be 11

applied in both application areas With respect to inverters and other system related costs the 12

smaller market volume of home ESS indicates lower economy of scale effects as compared 13

to cells 14

244 Installation repair and maintenance costs 15

2441 xEV 16

So far no comprehensive information on repair and maintenance costs for the battery system 17

of xEVs are available Due to still rather accommodating service policies repair or 18

replacement of batteries is so far often covered by the manufacturer 19

2451 Second life and recycling considerations 6

Until today only pilot projects Strategy of automotive OEM regarding second life applications 7

is not known 8

Value of recycled materials can be estimated 9

Three main scenarios possible after end of 1st life (xEV) 10

1 Disposal of batteries (eg separation of liquid and solid components hazardous waste 11

disposal) 12

2 Recycling of batteries and direct regeneration and re-use of cathode materials (2a) or 13

recovery of metals (2b) 14

3 2nd life in ESS applications under limited load (low DOD cycling low power) 15

16

Scenario 1 will add another component to battery costs scenario 2 and 3 could significantly 17

decrease the cost of batteries if energy efficient recycling methods can be developed or viable 18

2nd life business models are established 19

26 Annex 1

2611 Modelling of addressable markets for electric applications 2

Vehicle markets (in units of registrations in the EU28 per year) and ESS markets (in units of 3

number of installed home PV systems or in units of overall renewable (PV wind) electricity 4

generation in the EU28 per year) were modelled by exponential functions 5

119872119905119886119901119901(119905) = 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 6

With Mtapp(t) being the total market volume of an application M0 the market size in 2015 and 7

120591 times 119871119899(2) the time t necessary to double the initial market volume M0 M0 and Tau were chosen 8

to fit existing market data 9

119872119886119901119901(119905) = 119888 times 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 10

With Mapp(t) being the addressable market and c a factor equal or smaller than 1 Parameter 11

c lt 1 was chosen to take into account that not the whole existing market Mtapp might be 12

addressable by electric technologies Eg a share of vehicles primarily used for long distance 13

travel might not be addressable by BEV but by PHEV only 14

The market addressable for passenger PHEV (as a transition technology on the path to full 15

electric vehicles) was modelled as the difference of total vehicle sales and BEV sales 16

119872119875119867119864119881(119905) = 119888 times 119872119905119901119886119904119904119890119899119892119890119903(119905) minus 119878119861119864119881(119905) 17

The market addressable for passenger BEV was modelled like Mapp(t) with c lt 1 18

2612 Modelling of sales numbers of xEV and ESS 19

Yearly sales numbers Sapp(t) for the different applications were modelled by logistic growth 20

functions Logistic functions can model diffusion of technologies into existing markets with a 21

given market volume M The market volume can be a moving target M = M(t) The relative 22

change of sales numbers Srsquoapp(t)Sapp(t) is proportional to the market volume not yet 23

developed by a technology Mapp(t) ndash Sapp(t) 24

119878119886119901119901(119905) = 119872119886119901119901(119905) times1

1 + 119864119909119901(minus119872119886119901119901(119905) times (119905 minus 1199050)120591)(119872119886119901119901(119905)

119878119886119901119901(1199050)minus 1)

25

With Tau being a time constant and Sapp(t0) being the yearly sales number at year t0 (eg 26

2015) 27

Short time constants Tau of few years were used to model ESS sales Due to limitations of 28

the existing electricity grid to only buffer a certain share of fluctuating PV and wind generated 29

electricity the further expansion of renewable electricity generation might be strongly coupled 30

to ESS installations Hence ESS sales were modelled to closely follow the assumed 31

installations of renewable power in the limit of ldquovery fastrdquo market diffusion (120591 rarr 0) 32

2613 Modelling of battery system capacities 33

Battery capacities EBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws In 34

particular BEV battery capacities increased in the last years from 30 kWh in 2013 to more than 35

40 kWh in 2018 (EU sales and production averages) In the long term we expect BEV 36

capacities to converge towards a value sufficient to provide average driving ranges of some 37

100 km Battery capacity growth rates are hence supposed to slow down 38

119864119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198640 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 1

With E0 being the average battery capacity in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years and 2

b an exponent lt 1 The parameters were chosen to fit existing data 3

2614 Modelling of battery replacement rates 4

Battery replacement rates RrBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws 5

The replacement rate defines the share of batteries installed in year t that had to be replaced 6

within the lifetime of a system (xEV ESS) In particular for vehicles it is assumed that xEV 7

manufacturers currently install battery cells with a high lifetime and cyclability (several 8

thousand cycles) In the mid-term we expect that battery life and vehicle life (eg 200000 to 9

300000 km) will be matched by car manufacturers Assuming a constant vehicle lifetime 10

battery replacement rates are supposed to increase over time 11

119877119903119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198770 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 12

With R0 being the average replacement rate in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years 13

and b an exponent lt 1 At present there is no data available to fit the parameters Parameters 14

were estimated based on the usage profile and load of different applications 15

2615 Modelling of system lifetimes (xEV ESS) 16

System lifetimes Ltsystem(t) were assumed to be constant Ltsystem(t)= Ltsystem Parameters were 17

estimated based on manufacturer statements and typical lifetimes for combustion powered 18

vehicles 19

2616 Calculation of battery replacements 20

Battery replacements RpBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 21

calculated by assuming a uniform distribution of battery replacements over the lifetime 22

Ltsystem(i) of battery systems installed in year i 23

119877119901119861119886119905119905(119905) = sum119877119903119861119886119905119905(119894) times 119878119886119901119901(119894) times 119864119861119886119905119905(119894)

24

2617 Calculation of battery decommissions 25

Battery decommissions DcBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 26

assumed to happen coincident with the end of life of the systems (Ltsystem) they were installed 27

in in year i This neglects any second life usage in t gt i It was assumed that xEV or ESS 28

manufacturers will tune the battery lifetime to match the system lifetime (see 2614) 29

2618 Calculation of yearly installed battery capacity 31

The yearly installed battery capacity Sbapp(t) in the EU28 was calculated as 32

119878119887119886119901119901(119905) = 119878119886119901119901(119905) times 119864119886119901119901119861119886119905119905(119905) + 119877119901119886119901119901

The market for EV batteries is currently at the level of about 50 GWh (including electric 1

passenger cars busses trucks ebikes scooter forklifts etc) Growth rates are at 20 to 40 2

percent and the demand for EV batteries will lead to a share of about 66 percent in 2020 76 3

percent until 2025 and 80 percent or higher in the long term Electric passenger cars (BEV 4

and PHEV) define the by far largest market within the EV segment and are clearly driving the 5

technology development of high energy Lithium-Ion or Lithium-based batteries in the future 6

7

Figure 30 Demand and growth of the EV LIB market [34] 8

9

Other motive (or stationary or portable) markets applications besides the highly competitive 10

electric passenger cars therefore can offer interesting growth markets also for smaller cell 11

producers beyond the large Japanese Korean and Chinese cell producers These markets or 12

applications very often define concrete requirements for the battery performance they require 13

an in depth understanding and design from the cell chemistry format to the modulepack and 14

system integration and they still vary strongly by region and are connected to individual system 15

integrators or OEM This is because each technology has its own strengths and weaknesses 16

and none of them can satisfy all userapplication demands Hence a broader application 17

specific technology portfolio is even urgently needed in order to provide alternative individual 18

technology solutions for these emerging marketsapplications 19

20

235 Market channels and production structure 21

2351 Global production capacities and major players 22

Since their commercialization in the 1990s LIB have been predominantly produced by 23

Japanese and Korean companies Driven by the Chinese government particularly cell 24

producers but also companies covering other steps of the LIB value creation chain have been 25

established in China Due to a policy of simultaneous support for LIB production as well as for 26

application markets and due to an extensive subsidy scheme a large share of LIB production 27

capacities is located in China today 28

Figure 31 Figure 32 Figure 33 and Figure 34 show the global LIB production capacities of 29

major cell producers in 2018 as well as forecasts for 2020 2025 and 2030 respectively [36] 30

The data is based on announcements made by the cell producers As discussed in section 31

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

39

233 the actual time-frame for the implementation of the capacity expansions is often delayed 1

with respect to the original announcements Hence minimum and maximum values for the 2

production capacities are given 3

Figure 34 Global LIB production capacities of major cell producers in 2030 [36] 2

Until 2030 the announced production capacities add up to more than 1 TWh In total there 3

are about 30 cell producers which have announced to build up production capacities of more 4

than 10 GWhyear which can be considered to be a threshold in order to be able to produce 5

at competitve costs [36] If the announced capacities are fully utilized the ldquobig 4rdquo (Panasonic 6

CATL LGC and BYD) will be able to fully cover the market demand (gt550 GWh) until 2025 7

2352 Europes position in the global battery value chain 8

In the EU several actors are positioned which cover production steps along the whole value 9

chain of LIBs starting from raw material production to production of cells and systems and 10

finally recycling However with respect to global markets only few organizations within the EU 11

have a market share of more than 1 in their specific segment eg BASF Germany in the 12

field of electrolyte production [30] 13

An overview about existing and active companies is given by the European Battery Alliance 14

(see Figure 35) Due to the presence of strong automotive OEM LIB pack manufacturing and 15

system integration is taking place on large scale in Europe A particular gap in the value chain 16

is present due to the lack of a large-scale cell production capable of serving the volumes and 17

prices required by the automotive industry 18

Several consortia are currently attempting to build up a European large scale cell 4

manufacturing such as Nothvolt (Sweden) with 32 GWh until 2023 or Saft (together with 5

Siemens and Manz) [39] Recently the German government announced plans for funding of 6

a Batterie-Cell-Alliance between Germany and Poland with cell production capacities in the 7

Regions Lausitz (Germany) and Westpoland [40 41] At the cross section between RampD and 8

large-scale production also a Research Production with 600 Mio EUR funding is foreseen 9

whereas the Fraunhofer Society should coordinate and run such a research production [42] 10

The announced funding from the German government sums up to 2 bn EUR 11

Given all these announced investments and production capacities to build up in the next years 12

the cell production capacities of European cell manufacturers could sum up to over 40 GWh 13

beyond 2025 In contrast main Asian cell manufacturer have already started with cell 14

production (eg LG SDI) or plan to build up production capacities until 2020 to 2025 In 15

concrete there are plans from [43ndash51] 16

17

bull CATL (China) to build 14 GWh in Germany Erfurt beyond 2020 18

bull LG Chem (Japan) to build 15 to 24 GWh (for 03 Mio EVs) in Poland beyond 2020 19

bull Samsung SDI (Japan) to build 10 to 15 GWh beyond 2020 in Hungary (including a 20

recent 5 GWh announcement for 21700 cells for Land Rover 21

bull SK Innovation (Japan) to build 75 GWh in Hungary beyond 2020 22

bull PanasonicTesla to build a (assumed 35GWh) Gigafactory in Europa around 2025 23

bull as well as from BYD (China) GS Yuasa (Japan) and Farasis (US) to build production 24

capacities between 2020 and 2025 25

26

The production capacities from Asian (or non-European) cell manufacturer might sum up to 27

well above 82-96 GWh by 2025 and including BYD GS Yuasa Farasis etc capacities far 28

above 100 GWh can be expected Together with the new EU cell producers this could easily 29

sum up towards the above mentioned 200 GWh demand in Europe But it also clearly indicates 30

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

44

the competition the emerging European players have to face (besides the fact that the plans 1

of the Asian companies are expected to be realized already several years earlier as those of 2

the novel EU companies) 3

2353 Product design trends and technological roadmap 4

Concerning the battery technology or type (by chemistry format etc) which will most likely 5

be produced to address this increasing demand the global roadmaps of cell producers are 6

basically similar Based on state-of-the art cell design (eg LFP NCA based ldquogeneration 1rdquo 7

and NMC111 to NMC532 ldquogeneration 2abrdquo Li-ion batteries) [52] and state-of-the-art 8

production equipment incremental improvements are expected in the next few years but with 9

the target to get to higher-energy lithium-ion batteries Concerning the electrolytes still liquid 10

electrolytes will be used but adopted to the changing electrode materials (eg with additives) 11

Current trends for layered oxide cathodes describe the development of Ni-rich (Co reduced) 12

materials (NMC) A few cell producers are already using NMC811 or comparable cathode 13

materials others are still adopting NMC622 (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3ardquo) On cathode 14

side maybe even lower-cost Mn-rich High Energy NMCs (HE-NMC) might be realized and 15

produced within ~10 years as Mn is cheaper than Ni (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3brdquo) On 16

anode side the trend is to incorporate Si-nano particles to make use of the alloying reaction 17

between Si and Li yielding a high capacitance This however comes at the cost of cycle life 18

Further down the road we might see higher Si contents (~20) 19

20

All-solid-state batteries are on the roadmap of many battery producers but also OEM (also 21

referred to as ldquogeneration 4rdquo) The key performance parameters (KPI) are suitable for electric 22

mobility (EV) Main challenges are indeed manufacturability particularly for ceramic solid state 23

electrolytes which promise to yield the highest advantages over state of the art technologies 24

The market introduction in niche applications is expected possible prior to the use in 25

automotive applications First all-solid-state batteries might not be competitive in terms of 26

energy density but safety properties Later on energy densities of 350-400 Whkg and higher 27

are expected 28

Other technologies (not marked in blue in the above figure) feature certain USPs compared to 4

Li-ion batteries but (according to the current level of knowledge) do not reach the necessary 5

KPIs in terms of energy density power density and cycling stability necessary for electric 6

mobility (these are marked in grey) USPs of these technologies can be cost resource 7

availability either volumetric or gravimetric energy density or others But often even 8

fundamental challenges are not solved yet (eg concerning the stability of materials and 9

electrochemical systems kinetics etc) 10

24 Consumer expenditure base data 2

241 General objective of subtask 24 and approach 3

Subtask 24 gives an overview about average production costs and consumer prices incl 4

VAT (for consumer prices streetprice) excl VAT (for B2B products) as well as an estimation 5

of repair and maintenance as well as installation and disposal costs 6

Due to their recent larger scale market introduction there is still little experience with 7

maintenance as well as disposal expenses Hence only estimations can be made based on 8

isolated sources 9

242 Development of LIB cell costs 10

As the core of LIB based energy storage systems the battery cell exhibits the highest cost 11

share During the last years particularly standardized 18650 format LIB cells have 12

experienced a steep cost learning curve benefiting from production scale effects but also 13

from technological advancements on material level increasing the energy density per volume 14

and weight and decreasing the amount of cost intense Cobalt-based components Compared 15

to this benchmark larger format LIB cells (Pouch prismatic) as are utilized in xEVs and ESS 16

predominantly feature lower energy densities at higher cost per kWh There are however no 17

principal limitations which would prevent a performance and cost development similar to what 18

was observed for cylindrical cells Figure 39 shows the cost learning curves for cylindrical as 19

well as larger format LIB cells [33] Today average costs for cells suitable for automotive use 20

are below 150 eurokWh (cylindrical) and around 200 eurokWh (Pouchprismatic) In specific cases 21

prices around 100 eurokWh have been reported already [53] It should however be noted that 22

with the current market situation LIB prices being below costs are not unlikely to occur 23

Until 2025 production costs of the different cell formats are expected to approach and fall 24

below the mark of 100 eurokWh between 2020 and 2025 Taking further developments on 25

material level into account costs around 60-100 eurokWh seam feasible past 2025 26

Figure 39 Cost learning curves for large LIB cells (cylindrical and Pouchprismatic) [33] 3

Similar cost learning curves have been observed for other battery technologies (see Figure 4

40) In principal cost degression can be limited by demand (compare NiCd) or by reaching 5

material cost limits (compare Pb) Also the diffusion of battery technologies in new markets 6

or applications can lead to further technological improvements and justify higher production 7

costs (compare deviation of NiMH Pb) Following the available data for LIB cells approx 100 8

$kWh (~89 eurokWh) are reached at a cumulative yearly production of 1TWh This mark is 9

expected to be reached between 2020 and 2030 10

Beyond 2030 LIB production costs are however expected to start deviating from this curve 11

due to limiting raw material prices 12

2432 ESS 7

According to recent end-customer price data provided in [55] for 2018 typical consumer prices 8

for small scale (~10 kWh) stationary home storage systems are between 5000 and 15000 9

Euros leading to a relative price of 800 to 1200 eurokWh It is expected that these system prices 10

will benefit from the growing battery markets (also xEV) since similar LIB cell types can be 11

applied in both application areas With respect to inverters and other system related costs the 12

smaller market volume of home ESS indicates lower economy of scale effects as compared 13

to cells 14

244 Installation repair and maintenance costs 15

2441 xEV 16

So far no comprehensive information on repair and maintenance costs for the battery system 17

of xEVs are available Due to still rather accommodating service policies repair or 18

replacement of batteries is so far often covered by the manufacturer 19

Installation costs of home storage systems are estimated to be between 900 ndash 3500 euro [56] 2

245 LIB life-cycle disposal and recycling considerations 4

Will be added in a later review 5

2451 Second life and recycling considerations 6

Until today only pilot projects Strategy of automotive OEM regarding second life applications 7

is not known 8

Value of recycled materials can be estimated 9

Three main scenarios possible after end of 1st life (xEV) 10

1 Disposal of batteries (eg separation of liquid and solid components hazardous waste 11

disposal) 12

2 Recycling of batteries and direct regeneration and re-use of cathode materials (2a) or 13

recovery of metals (2b) 14

3 2nd life in ESS applications under limited load (low DOD cycling low power) 15

16

Scenario 1 will add another component to battery costs scenario 2 and 3 could significantly 17

decrease the cost of batteries if energy efficient recycling methods can be developed or viable 18

2nd life business models are established 19

26 Annex 1

2611 Modelling of addressable markets for electric applications 2

Vehicle markets (in units of registrations in the EU28 per year) and ESS markets (in units of 3

number of installed home PV systems or in units of overall renewable (PV wind) electricity 4

generation in the EU28 per year) were modelled by exponential functions 5

119872119905119886119901119901(119905) = 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 6

With Mtapp(t) being the total market volume of an application M0 the market size in 2015 and 7

120591 times 119871119899(2) the time t necessary to double the initial market volume M0 M0 and Tau were chosen 8

to fit existing market data 9

119872119886119901119901(119905) = 119888 times 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 10

With Mapp(t) being the addressable market and c a factor equal or smaller than 1 Parameter 11

c lt 1 was chosen to take into account that not the whole existing market Mtapp might be 12

addressable by electric technologies Eg a share of vehicles primarily used for long distance 13

travel might not be addressable by BEV but by PHEV only 14

The market addressable for passenger PHEV (as a transition technology on the path to full 15

electric vehicles) was modelled as the difference of total vehicle sales and BEV sales 16

119872119875119867119864119881(119905) = 119888 times 119872119905119901119886119904119904119890119899119892119890119903(119905) minus 119878119861119864119881(119905) 17

The market addressable for passenger BEV was modelled like Mapp(t) with c lt 1 18

2612 Modelling of sales numbers of xEV and ESS 19

Yearly sales numbers Sapp(t) for the different applications were modelled by logistic growth 20

functions Logistic functions can model diffusion of technologies into existing markets with a 21

given market volume M The market volume can be a moving target M = M(t) The relative 22

change of sales numbers Srsquoapp(t)Sapp(t) is proportional to the market volume not yet 23

developed by a technology Mapp(t) ndash Sapp(t) 24

119878119886119901119901(119905) = 119872119886119901119901(119905) times1

1 + 119864119909119901(minus119872119886119901119901(119905) times (119905 minus 1199050)120591)(119872119886119901119901(119905)

119878119886119901119901(1199050)minus 1)

25

With Tau being a time constant and Sapp(t0) being the yearly sales number at year t0 (eg 26

2015) 27

Short time constants Tau of few years were used to model ESS sales Due to limitations of 28

the existing electricity grid to only buffer a certain share of fluctuating PV and wind generated 29

electricity the further expansion of renewable electricity generation might be strongly coupled 30

to ESS installations Hence ESS sales were modelled to closely follow the assumed 31

installations of renewable power in the limit of ldquovery fastrdquo market diffusion (120591 rarr 0) 32

2613 Modelling of battery system capacities 33

Battery capacities EBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws In 34

particular BEV battery capacities increased in the last years from 30 kWh in 2013 to more than 35

40 kWh in 2018 (EU sales and production averages) In the long term we expect BEV 36

capacities to converge towards a value sufficient to provide average driving ranges of some 37

100 km Battery capacity growth rates are hence supposed to slow down 38

119864119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198640 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 1

With E0 being the average battery capacity in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years and 2

b an exponent lt 1 The parameters were chosen to fit existing data 3

2614 Modelling of battery replacement rates 4

Battery replacement rates RrBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws 5

The replacement rate defines the share of batteries installed in year t that had to be replaced 6

within the lifetime of a system (xEV ESS) In particular for vehicles it is assumed that xEV 7

manufacturers currently install battery cells with a high lifetime and cyclability (several 8

thousand cycles) In the mid-term we expect that battery life and vehicle life (eg 200000 to 9

300000 km) will be matched by car manufacturers Assuming a constant vehicle lifetime 10

battery replacement rates are supposed to increase over time 11

119877119903119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198770 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 12

With R0 being the average replacement rate in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years 13

and b an exponent lt 1 At present there is no data available to fit the parameters Parameters 14

were estimated based on the usage profile and load of different applications 15

2615 Modelling of system lifetimes (xEV ESS) 16

System lifetimes Ltsystem(t) were assumed to be constant Ltsystem(t)= Ltsystem Parameters were 17

estimated based on manufacturer statements and typical lifetimes for combustion powered 18

vehicles 19

2616 Calculation of battery replacements 20

Battery replacements RpBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 21

calculated by assuming a uniform distribution of battery replacements over the lifetime 22

Ltsystem(i) of battery systems installed in year i 23

with respect to the original announcements Hence minimum and maximum values for the 2

production capacities are given 3

Figure 34 Global LIB production capacities of major cell producers in 2030 [36] 2

Until 2030 the announced production capacities add up to more than 1 TWh In total there 3

are about 30 cell producers which have announced to build up production capacities of more 4

than 10 GWhyear which can be considered to be a threshold in order to be able to produce 5

at competitve costs [36] If the announced capacities are fully utilized the ldquobig 4rdquo (Panasonic 6

CATL LGC and BYD) will be able to fully cover the market demand (gt550 GWh) until 2025 7

2352 Europes position in the global battery value chain 8

In the EU several actors are positioned which cover production steps along the whole value 9

chain of LIBs starting from raw material production to production of cells and systems and 10

finally recycling However with respect to global markets only few organizations within the EU 11

have a market share of more than 1 in their specific segment eg BASF Germany in the 12

field of electrolyte production [30] 13

An overview about existing and active companies is given by the European Battery Alliance 14

(see Figure 35) Due to the presence of strong automotive OEM LIB pack manufacturing and 15

system integration is taking place on large scale in Europe A particular gap in the value chain 16

is present due to the lack of a large-scale cell production capable of serving the volumes and 17

prices required by the automotive industry 18

Several consortia are currently attempting to build up a European large scale cell 4

manufacturing such as Nothvolt (Sweden) with 32 GWh until 2023 or Saft (together with 5

Siemens and Manz) [39] Recently the German government announced plans for funding of 6

a Batterie-Cell-Alliance between Germany and Poland with cell production capacities in the 7

Regions Lausitz (Germany) and Westpoland [40 41] At the cross section between RampD and 8

large-scale production also a Research Production with 600 Mio EUR funding is foreseen 9

whereas the Fraunhofer Society should coordinate and run such a research production [42] 10

The announced funding from the German government sums up to 2 bn EUR 11

Given all these announced investments and production capacities to build up in the next years 12

the cell production capacities of European cell manufacturers could sum up to over 40 GWh 13

beyond 2025 In contrast main Asian cell manufacturer have already started with cell 14

production (eg LG SDI) or plan to build up production capacities until 2020 to 2025 In 15

concrete there are plans from [43ndash51] 16

17

bull CATL (China) to build 14 GWh in Germany Erfurt beyond 2020 18

bull LG Chem (Japan) to build 15 to 24 GWh (for 03 Mio EVs) in Poland beyond 2020 19

bull Samsung SDI (Japan) to build 10 to 15 GWh beyond 2020 in Hungary (including a 20

recent 5 GWh announcement for 21700 cells for Land Rover 21

bull SK Innovation (Japan) to build 75 GWh in Hungary beyond 2020 22

bull PanasonicTesla to build a (assumed 35GWh) Gigafactory in Europa around 2025 23

bull as well as from BYD (China) GS Yuasa (Japan) and Farasis (US) to build production 24

capacities between 2020 and 2025 25

26

The production capacities from Asian (or non-European) cell manufacturer might sum up to 27

well above 82-96 GWh by 2025 and including BYD GS Yuasa Farasis etc capacities far 28

above 100 GWh can be expected Together with the new EU cell producers this could easily 29

sum up towards the above mentioned 200 GWh demand in Europe But it also clearly indicates 30

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

44

the competition the emerging European players have to face (besides the fact that the plans 1

of the Asian companies are expected to be realized already several years earlier as those of 2

the novel EU companies) 3

2353 Product design trends and technological roadmap 4

Concerning the battery technology or type (by chemistry format etc) which will most likely 5

be produced to address this increasing demand the global roadmaps of cell producers are 6

basically similar Based on state-of-the art cell design (eg LFP NCA based ldquogeneration 1rdquo 7

and NMC111 to NMC532 ldquogeneration 2abrdquo Li-ion batteries) [52] and state-of-the-art 8

production equipment incremental improvements are expected in the next few years but with 9

the target to get to higher-energy lithium-ion batteries Concerning the electrolytes still liquid 10

electrolytes will be used but adopted to the changing electrode materials (eg with additives) 11

Current trends for layered oxide cathodes describe the development of Ni-rich (Co reduced) 12

materials (NMC) A few cell producers are already using NMC811 or comparable cathode 13

materials others are still adopting NMC622 (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3ardquo) On cathode 14

side maybe even lower-cost Mn-rich High Energy NMCs (HE-NMC) might be realized and 15

produced within ~10 years as Mn is cheaper than Ni (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3brdquo) On 16

anode side the trend is to incorporate Si-nano particles to make use of the alloying reaction 17

between Si and Li yielding a high capacitance This however comes at the cost of cycle life 18

Further down the road we might see higher Si contents (~20) 19

20

All-solid-state batteries are on the roadmap of many battery producers but also OEM (also 21

referred to as ldquogeneration 4rdquo) The key performance parameters (KPI) are suitable for electric 22

mobility (EV) Main challenges are indeed manufacturability particularly for ceramic solid state 23

electrolytes which promise to yield the highest advantages over state of the art technologies 24

The market introduction in niche applications is expected possible prior to the use in 25

automotive applications First all-solid-state batteries might not be competitive in terms of 26

energy density but safety properties Later on energy densities of 350-400 Whkg and higher 27

are expected 28

technologies (based on [33]) 3

Other technologies (not marked in blue in the above figure) feature certain USPs compared to 4

Li-ion batteries but (according to the current level of knowledge) do not reach the necessary 5

KPIs in terms of energy density power density and cycling stability necessary for electric 6

mobility (these are marked in grey) USPs of these technologies can be cost resource 7

availability either volumetric or gravimetric energy density or others But often even 8

fundamental challenges are not solved yet (eg concerning the stability of materials and 9

electrochemical systems kinetics etc) 10

24 Consumer expenditure base data 2

241 General objective of subtask 24 and approach 3

Subtask 24 gives an overview about average production costs and consumer prices incl 4

VAT (for consumer prices streetprice) excl VAT (for B2B products) as well as an estimation 5

of repair and maintenance as well as installation and disposal costs 6

Due to their recent larger scale market introduction there is still little experience with 7

maintenance as well as disposal expenses Hence only estimations can be made based on 8

isolated sources 9

242 Development of LIB cell costs 10

As the core of LIB based energy storage systems the battery cell exhibits the highest cost 11

share During the last years particularly standardized 18650 format LIB cells have 12

experienced a steep cost learning curve benefiting from production scale effects but also 13

from technological advancements on material level increasing the energy density per volume 14

and weight and decreasing the amount of cost intense Cobalt-based components Compared 15

to this benchmark larger format LIB cells (Pouch prismatic) as are utilized in xEVs and ESS 16

predominantly feature lower energy densities at higher cost per kWh There are however no 17

principal limitations which would prevent a performance and cost development similar to what 18

was observed for cylindrical cells Figure 39 shows the cost learning curves for cylindrical as 19

well as larger format LIB cells [33] Today average costs for cells suitable for automotive use 20

are below 150 eurokWh (cylindrical) and around 200 eurokWh (Pouchprismatic) In specific cases 21

prices around 100 eurokWh have been reported already [53] It should however be noted that 22

with the current market situation LIB prices being below costs are not unlikely to occur 23

Until 2025 production costs of the different cell formats are expected to approach and fall 24

below the mark of 100 eurokWh between 2020 and 2025 Taking further developments on 25

material level into account costs around 60-100 eurokWh seam feasible past 2025 26

27

Figure 39 Cost learning curves for large LIB cells (cylindrical and Pouchprismatic) [33] 3

Similar cost learning curves have been observed for other battery technologies (see Figure 4

40) In principal cost degression can be limited by demand (compare NiCd) or by reaching 5

material cost limits (compare Pb) Also the diffusion of battery technologies in new markets 6

or applications can lead to further technological improvements and justify higher production 7

costs (compare deviation of NiMH Pb) Following the available data for LIB cells approx 100 8

$kWh (~89 eurokWh) are reached at a cumulative yearly production of 1TWh This mark is 9

expected to be reached between 2020 and 2030 10

Beyond 2030 LIB production costs are however expected to start deviating from this curve 11

due to limiting raw material prices 12

243 Development of storage cost for xEVs and ESS 4

2431 xEV 5

Will be added in a later review 6

2432 ESS 7

According to recent end-customer price data provided in [55] for 2018 typical consumer prices 8

for small scale (~10 kWh) stationary home storage systems are between 5000 and 15000 9

Euros leading to a relative price of 800 to 1200 eurokWh It is expected that these system prices 10

will benefit from the growing battery markets (also xEV) since similar LIB cell types can be 11

applied in both application areas With respect to inverters and other system related costs the 12

smaller market volume of home ESS indicates lower economy of scale effects as compared 13

to cells 14

244 Installation repair and maintenance costs 15

2441 xEV 16

So far no comprehensive information on repair and maintenance costs for the battery system 17

of xEVs are available Due to still rather accommodating service policies repair or 18

replacement of batteries is so far often covered by the manufacturer 19

Installation costs of home storage systems are estimated to be between 900 ndash 3500 euro [56] 2

245 LIB life-cycle disposal and recycling considerations 4

Will be added in a later review 5

2451 Second life and recycling considerations 6

Until today only pilot projects Strategy of automotive OEM regarding second life applications 7

is not known 8

Value of recycled materials can be estimated 9

Three main scenarios possible after end of 1st life (xEV) 10

1 Disposal of batteries (eg separation of liquid and solid components hazardous waste 11

disposal) 12

2 Recycling of batteries and direct regeneration and re-use of cathode materials (2a) or 13

recovery of metals (2b) 14

3 2nd life in ESS applications under limited load (low DOD cycling low power) 15

16

Scenario 1 will add another component to battery costs scenario 2 and 3 could significantly 17

decrease the cost of batteries if energy efficient recycling methods can be developed or viable 18

2nd life business models are established 19

c lt 1 was chosen to take into account that not the whole existing market Mtapp might be 12

addressable by electric technologies Eg a share of vehicles primarily used for long distance 13

travel might not be addressable by BEV but by PHEV only 14

The market addressable for passenger PHEV (as a transition technology on the path to full 15

electric vehicles) was modelled as the difference of total vehicle sales and BEV sales 16

119872119875119867119864119881(119905) = 119888 times 119872119905119901119886119904119904119890119899119892119890119903(119905) minus 119878119861119864119881(119905) 17

The market addressable for passenger BEV was modelled like Mapp(t) with c lt 1 18

2612 Modelling of sales numbers of xEV and ESS 19

Yearly sales numbers Sapp(t) for the different applications were modelled by logistic growth 20

functions Logistic functions can model diffusion of technologies into existing markets with a 21

given market volume M The market volume can be a moving target M = M(t) The relative 22

change of sales numbers Srsquoapp(t)Sapp(t) is proportional to the market volume not yet 23

developed by a technology Mapp(t) ndash Sapp(t) 24

119878119886119901119901(119905) = 119872119886119901119901(119905) times1

25

With Tau being a time constant and Sapp(t0) being the yearly sales number at year t0 (eg 26

2015) 27

Short time constants Tau of few years were used to model ESS sales Due to limitations of 28

the existing electricity grid to only buffer a certain share of fluctuating PV and wind generated 29

electricity the further expansion of renewable electricity generation might be strongly coupled 30

to ESS installations Hence ESS sales were modelled to closely follow the assumed 31

installations of renewable power in the limit of ldquovery fastrdquo market diffusion (120591 rarr 0) 32

2613 Modelling of battery system capacities 33

Battery capacities EBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws In 34

particular BEV battery capacities increased in the last years from 30 kWh in 2013 to more than 35

40 kWh in 2018 (EU sales and production averages) In the long term we expect BEV 36

capacities to converge towards a value sufficient to provide average driving ranges of some 37

100 km Battery capacity growth rates are hence supposed to slow down 38

With E0 being the average battery capacity in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years and 2

b an exponent lt 1 The parameters were chosen to fit existing data 3

2614 Modelling of battery replacement rates 4

Battery replacement rates RrBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws 5

The replacement rate defines the share of batteries installed in year t that had to be replaced 6

within the lifetime of a system (xEV ESS) In particular for vehicles it is assumed that xEV 7

manufacturers currently install battery cells with a high lifetime and cyclability (several 8

thousand cycles) In the mid-term we expect that battery life and vehicle life (eg 200000 to 9

300000 km) will be matched by car manufacturers Assuming a constant vehicle lifetime 10

battery replacement rates are supposed to increase over time 11

119877119903119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198770 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 12

With R0 being the average replacement rate in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years 13

and b an exponent lt 1 At present there is no data available to fit the parameters Parameters 14

were estimated based on the usage profile and load of different applications 15

2615 Modelling of system lifetimes (xEV ESS) 16

System lifetimes Ltsystem(t) were assumed to be constant Ltsystem(t)= Ltsystem Parameters were 17

estimated based on manufacturer statements and typical lifetimes for combustion powered 18

vehicles 19

2616 Calculation of battery replacements 20

Battery replacements RpBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 21

calculated by assuming a uniform distribution of battery replacements over the lifetime 22

Ltsystem(i) of battery systems installed in year i 23

2617 Calculation of battery decommissions 25

Battery decommissions DcBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 26

assumed to happen coincident with the end of life of the systems (Ltsystem) they were installed 27

in in year i This neglects any second life usage in t gt i It was assumed that xEV or ESS 28

manufacturers will tune the battery lifetime to match the system lifetime (see 2614) 29

The yearly installed battery capacity Sbapp(t) in the EU28 was calculated as 32

119878119887119886119901119901(119905) = 119878119886119901119901(119905) times 119864119886119901119901119861119886119905119905(119905) + 119877119901119886119901119901

Figure 34 Global LIB production capacities of major cell producers in 2030 [36] 2

Until 2030 the announced production capacities add up to more than 1 TWh In total there 3

are about 30 cell producers which have announced to build up production capacities of more 4

than 10 GWhyear which can be considered to be a threshold in order to be able to produce 5

at competitve costs [36] If the announced capacities are fully utilized the ldquobig 4rdquo (Panasonic 6

CATL LGC and BYD) will be able to fully cover the market demand (gt550 GWh) until 2025 7

2352 Europes position in the global battery value chain 8

In the EU several actors are positioned which cover production steps along the whole value 9

chain of LIBs starting from raw material production to production of cells and systems and 10

finally recycling However with respect to global markets only few organizations within the EU 11

have a market share of more than 1 in their specific segment eg BASF Germany in the 12

field of electrolyte production [30] 13

An overview about existing and active companies is given by the European Battery Alliance 14

(see Figure 35) Due to the presence of strong automotive OEM LIB pack manufacturing and 15

system integration is taking place on large scale in Europe A particular gap in the value chain 16

is present due to the lack of a large-scale cell production capable of serving the volumes and 17

prices required by the automotive industry 18

Several consortia are currently attempting to build up a European large scale cell 4

manufacturing such as Nothvolt (Sweden) with 32 GWh until 2023 or Saft (together with 5

Siemens and Manz) [39] Recently the German government announced plans for funding of 6

a Batterie-Cell-Alliance between Germany and Poland with cell production capacities in the 7

Regions Lausitz (Germany) and Westpoland [40 41] At the cross section between RampD and 8

large-scale production also a Research Production with 600 Mio EUR funding is foreseen 9

whereas the Fraunhofer Society should coordinate and run such a research production [42] 10

The announced funding from the German government sums up to 2 bn EUR 11

Given all these announced investments and production capacities to build up in the next years 12

the cell production capacities of European cell manufacturers could sum up to over 40 GWh 13

beyond 2025 In contrast main Asian cell manufacturer have already started with cell 14

production (eg LG SDI) or plan to build up production capacities until 2020 to 2025 In 15

concrete there are plans from [43ndash51] 16

17

bull CATL (China) to build 14 GWh in Germany Erfurt beyond 2020 18

bull LG Chem (Japan) to build 15 to 24 GWh (for 03 Mio EVs) in Poland beyond 2020 19

bull Samsung SDI (Japan) to build 10 to 15 GWh beyond 2020 in Hungary (including a 20

recent 5 GWh announcement for 21700 cells for Land Rover 21

bull SK Innovation (Japan) to build 75 GWh in Hungary beyond 2020 22

bull PanasonicTesla to build a (assumed 35GWh) Gigafactory in Europa around 2025 23

bull as well as from BYD (China) GS Yuasa (Japan) and Farasis (US) to build production 24

capacities between 2020 and 2025 25

26

The production capacities from Asian (or non-European) cell manufacturer might sum up to 27

well above 82-96 GWh by 2025 and including BYD GS Yuasa Farasis etc capacities far 28

above 100 GWh can be expected Together with the new EU cell producers this could easily 29

sum up towards the above mentioned 200 GWh demand in Europe But it also clearly indicates 30

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

44

the competition the emerging European players have to face (besides the fact that the plans 1

of the Asian companies are expected to be realized already several years earlier as those of 2

the novel EU companies) 3

2353 Product design trends and technological roadmap 4

Concerning the battery technology or type (by chemistry format etc) which will most likely 5

be produced to address this increasing demand the global roadmaps of cell producers are 6

basically similar Based on state-of-the art cell design (eg LFP NCA based ldquogeneration 1rdquo 7

and NMC111 to NMC532 ldquogeneration 2abrdquo Li-ion batteries) [52] and state-of-the-art 8

production equipment incremental improvements are expected in the next few years but with 9

the target to get to higher-energy lithium-ion batteries Concerning the electrolytes still liquid 10

electrolytes will be used but adopted to the changing electrode materials (eg with additives) 11

Current trends for layered oxide cathodes describe the development of Ni-rich (Co reduced) 12

materials (NMC) A few cell producers are already using NMC811 or comparable cathode 13

materials others are still adopting NMC622 (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3ardquo) On cathode 14

side maybe even lower-cost Mn-rich High Energy NMCs (HE-NMC) might be realized and 15

produced within ~10 years as Mn is cheaper than Ni (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3brdquo) On 16

anode side the trend is to incorporate Si-nano particles to make use of the alloying reaction 17

between Si and Li yielding a high capacitance This however comes at the cost of cycle life 18

Further down the road we might see higher Si contents (~20) 19

20

All-solid-state batteries are on the roadmap of many battery producers but also OEM (also 21

referred to as ldquogeneration 4rdquo) The key performance parameters (KPI) are suitable for electric 22

mobility (EV) Main challenges are indeed manufacturability particularly for ceramic solid state 23

electrolytes which promise to yield the highest advantages over state of the art technologies 24

The market introduction in niche applications is expected possible prior to the use in 25

automotive applications First all-solid-state batteries might not be competitive in terms of 26

energy density but safety properties Later on energy densities of 350-400 Whkg and higher 27

are expected 28

technologies (based on [33]) 3

Other technologies (not marked in blue in the above figure) feature certain USPs compared to 4

Li-ion batteries but (according to the current level of knowledge) do not reach the necessary 5

KPIs in terms of energy density power density and cycling stability necessary for electric 6

mobility (these are marked in grey) USPs of these technologies can be cost resource 7

availability either volumetric or gravimetric energy density or others But often even 8

fundamental challenges are not solved yet (eg concerning the stability of materials and 9

electrochemical systems kinetics etc) 10

24 Consumer expenditure base data 2

241 General objective of subtask 24 and approach 3

Subtask 24 gives an overview about average production costs and consumer prices incl 4

VAT (for consumer prices streetprice) excl VAT (for B2B products) as well as an estimation 5

of repair and maintenance as well as installation and disposal costs 6

Due to their recent larger scale market introduction there is still little experience with 7

maintenance as well as disposal expenses Hence only estimations can be made based on 8

isolated sources 9

242 Development of LIB cell costs 10

As the core of LIB based energy storage systems the battery cell exhibits the highest cost 11

share During the last years particularly standardized 18650 format LIB cells have 12

experienced a steep cost learning curve benefiting from production scale effects but also 13

from technological advancements on material level increasing the energy density per volume 14

and weight and decreasing the amount of cost intense Cobalt-based components Compared 15

to this benchmark larger format LIB cells (Pouch prismatic) as are utilized in xEVs and ESS 16

predominantly feature lower energy densities at higher cost per kWh There are however no 17

principal limitations which would prevent a performance and cost development similar to what 18

was observed for cylindrical cells Figure 39 shows the cost learning curves for cylindrical as 19

well as larger format LIB cells [33] Today average costs for cells suitable for automotive use 20

are below 150 eurokWh (cylindrical) and around 200 eurokWh (Pouchprismatic) In specific cases 21

prices around 100 eurokWh have been reported already [53] It should however be noted that 22

with the current market situation LIB prices being below costs are not unlikely to occur 23

Until 2025 production costs of the different cell formats are expected to approach and fall 24

below the mark of 100 eurokWh between 2020 and 2025 Taking further developments on 25

material level into account costs around 60-100 eurokWh seam feasible past 2025 26

Figure 39 Cost learning curves for large LIB cells (cylindrical and Pouchprismatic) [33] 3

Similar cost learning curves have been observed for other battery technologies (see Figure 4

40) In principal cost degression can be limited by demand (compare NiCd) or by reaching 5

material cost limits (compare Pb) Also the diffusion of battery technologies in new markets 6

or applications can lead to further technological improvements and justify higher production 7

costs (compare deviation of NiMH Pb) Following the available data for LIB cells approx 100 8

$kWh (~89 eurokWh) are reached at a cumulative yearly production of 1TWh This mark is 9

expected to be reached between 2020 and 2030 10

Beyond 2030 LIB production costs are however expected to start deviating from this curve 11

due to limiting raw material prices 12

2432 ESS 7

According to recent end-customer price data provided in [55] for 2018 typical consumer prices 8

for small scale (~10 kWh) stationary home storage systems are between 5000 and 15000 9

Euros leading to a relative price of 800 to 1200 eurokWh It is expected that these system prices 10

will benefit from the growing battery markets (also xEV) since similar LIB cell types can be 11

applied in both application areas With respect to inverters and other system related costs the 12

smaller market volume of home ESS indicates lower economy of scale effects as compared 13

to cells 14

So far no comprehensive information on repair and maintenance costs for the battery system 17

of xEVs are available Due to still rather accommodating service policies repair or 18

replacement of batteries is so far often covered by the manufacturer 19

Will be added in a later review 5

2451 Second life and recycling considerations 6

Until today only pilot projects Strategy of automotive OEM regarding second life applications 7

is not known 8

Value of recycled materials can be estimated 9

Three main scenarios possible after end of 1st life (xEV) 10

1 Disposal of batteries (eg separation of liquid and solid components hazardous waste 11

disposal) 12

2 Recycling of batteries and direct regeneration and re-use of cathode materials (2a) or 13

recovery of metals (2b) 14

3 2nd life in ESS applications under limited load (low DOD cycling low power) 15

16

Scenario 1 will add another component to battery costs scenario 2 and 3 could significantly 17

decrease the cost of batteries if energy efficient recycling methods can be developed or viable 18

2nd life business models are established 19

26 Annex 1

2611 Modelling of addressable markets for electric applications 2

Vehicle markets (in units of registrations in the EU28 per year) and ESS markets (in units of 3

number of installed home PV systems or in units of overall renewable (PV wind) electricity 4

generation in the EU28 per year) were modelled by exponential functions 5

119872119905119886119901119901(119905) = 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 6

With Mtapp(t) being the total market volume of an application M0 the market size in 2015 and 7

120591 times 119871119899(2) the time t necessary to double the initial market volume M0 M0 and Tau were chosen 8

to fit existing market data 9

119872119886119901119901(119905) = 119888 times 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 10

With Mapp(t) being the addressable market and c a factor equal or smaller than 1 Parameter 11

c lt 1 was chosen to take into account that not the whole existing market Mtapp might be 12

addressable by electric technologies Eg a share of vehicles primarily used for long distance 13

travel might not be addressable by BEV but by PHEV only 14

The market addressable for passenger PHEV (as a transition technology on the path to full 15

electric vehicles) was modelled as the difference of total vehicle sales and BEV sales 16

119872119875119867119864119881(119905) = 119888 times 119872119905119901119886119904119904119890119899119892119890119903(119905) minus 119878119861119864119881(119905) 17

The market addressable for passenger BEV was modelled like Mapp(t) with c lt 1 18

2612 Modelling of sales numbers of xEV and ESS 19

Yearly sales numbers Sapp(t) for the different applications were modelled by logistic growth 20

functions Logistic functions can model diffusion of technologies into existing markets with a 21

given market volume M The market volume can be a moving target M = M(t) The relative 22

change of sales numbers Srsquoapp(t)Sapp(t) is proportional to the market volume not yet 23

developed by a technology Mapp(t) ndash Sapp(t) 24

119878119886119901119901(119905) = 119872119886119901119901(119905) times1

1 + 119864119909119901(minus119872119886119901119901(119905) times (119905 minus 1199050)120591)(119872119886119901119901(119905)

119878119886119901119901(1199050)minus 1)

25

With Tau being a time constant and Sapp(t0) being the yearly sales number at year t0 (eg 26

2015) 27

Short time constants Tau of few years were used to model ESS sales Due to limitations of 28

the existing electricity grid to only buffer a certain share of fluctuating PV and wind generated 29

electricity the further expansion of renewable electricity generation might be strongly coupled 30

to ESS installations Hence ESS sales were modelled to closely follow the assumed 31

installations of renewable power in the limit of ldquovery fastrdquo market diffusion (120591 rarr 0) 32

2613 Modelling of battery system capacities 33

Battery capacities EBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws In 34

particular BEV battery capacities increased in the last years from 30 kWh in 2013 to more than 35

40 kWh in 2018 (EU sales and production averages) In the long term we expect BEV 36

capacities to converge towards a value sufficient to provide average driving ranges of some 37

100 km Battery capacity growth rates are hence supposed to slow down 38

52

119864119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198640 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 1

With E0 being the average battery capacity in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years and 2

b an exponent lt 1 The parameters were chosen to fit existing data 3

2614 Modelling of battery replacement rates 4

Battery replacement rates RrBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws 5

The replacement rate defines the share of batteries installed in year t that had to be replaced 6

within the lifetime of a system (xEV ESS) In particular for vehicles it is assumed that xEV 7

manufacturers currently install battery cells with a high lifetime and cyclability (several 8

thousand cycles) In the mid-term we expect that battery life and vehicle life (eg 200000 to 9

300000 km) will be matched by car manufacturers Assuming a constant vehicle lifetime 10

battery replacement rates are supposed to increase over time 11

119877119903119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198770 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 12

With R0 being the average replacement rate in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years 13

and b an exponent lt 1 At present there is no data available to fit the parameters Parameters 14

were estimated based on the usage profile and load of different applications 15

2615 Modelling of system lifetimes (xEV ESS) 16

System lifetimes Ltsystem(t) were assumed to be constant Ltsystem(t)= Ltsystem Parameters were 17

estimated based on manufacturer statements and typical lifetimes for combustion powered 18

vehicles 19

2616 Calculation of battery replacements 20

Battery replacements RpBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 21

calculated by assuming a uniform distribution of battery replacements over the lifetime 22

Ltsystem(i) of battery systems installed in year i 23

119877119901119861119886119905119905(119905) = sum119877119903119861119886119905119905(119894) times 119878119886119901119901(119894) times 119864119861119886119905119905(119894)

24

2617 Calculation of battery decommissions 25

Battery decommissions DcBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 26

assumed to happen coincident with the end of life of the systems (Ltsystem) they were installed 27

in in year i This neglects any second life usage in t gt i It was assumed that xEV or ESS 28

manufacturers will tune the battery lifetime to match the system lifetime (see 2614) 29

2618 Calculation of yearly installed battery capacity 31

The yearly installed battery capacity Sbapp(t) in the EU28 was calculated as 32

119878119887119886119901119901(119905) = 119878119886119901119901(119905) times 119864119886119901119901119861119886119905119905(119905) + 119877119901119886119901119901

Figure 34 Global LIB production capacities of major cell producers in 2030 [36] 2

Until 2030 the announced production capacities add up to more than 1 TWh In total there 3

are about 30 cell producers which have announced to build up production capacities of more 4

than 10 GWhyear which can be considered to be a threshold in order to be able to produce 5

at competitve costs [36] If the announced capacities are fully utilized the ldquobig 4rdquo (Panasonic 6

CATL LGC and BYD) will be able to fully cover the market demand (gt550 GWh) until 2025 7

2352 Europes position in the global battery value chain 8

In the EU several actors are positioned which cover production steps along the whole value 9

chain of LIBs starting from raw material production to production of cells and systems and 10

finally recycling However with respect to global markets only few organizations within the EU 11

have a market share of more than 1 in their specific segment eg BASF Germany in the 12

field of electrolyte production [30] 13

An overview about existing and active companies is given by the European Battery Alliance 14

(see Figure 35) Due to the presence of strong automotive OEM LIB pack manufacturing and 15

system integration is taking place on large scale in Europe A particular gap in the value chain 16

is present due to the lack of a large-scale cell production capable of serving the volumes and 17

prices required by the automotive industry 18

a Batterie-Cell-Alliance between Germany and Poland with cell production capacities in the 7

Regions Lausitz (Germany) and Westpoland [40 41] At the cross section between RampD and 8

large-scale production also a Research Production with 600 Mio EUR funding is foreseen 9

whereas the Fraunhofer Society should coordinate and run such a research production [42] 10

The announced funding from the German government sums up to 2 bn EUR 11

Given all these announced investments and production capacities to build up in the next years 12

the cell production capacities of European cell manufacturers could sum up to over 40 GWh 13

beyond 2025 In contrast main Asian cell manufacturer have already started with cell 14

production (eg LG SDI) or plan to build up production capacities until 2020 to 2025 In 15

concrete there are plans from [43ndash51] 16

17

bull CATL (China) to build 14 GWh in Germany Erfurt beyond 2020 18

bull LG Chem (Japan) to build 15 to 24 GWh (for 03 Mio EVs) in Poland beyond 2020 19

bull Samsung SDI (Japan) to build 10 to 15 GWh beyond 2020 in Hungary (including a 20

recent 5 GWh announcement for 21700 cells for Land Rover 21

bull SK Innovation (Japan) to build 75 GWh in Hungary beyond 2020 22

bull PanasonicTesla to build a (assumed 35GWh) Gigafactory in Europa around 2025 23

bull as well as from BYD (China) GS Yuasa (Japan) and Farasis (US) to build production 24

capacities between 2020 and 2025 25

26

The production capacities from Asian (or non-European) cell manufacturer might sum up to 27

well above 82-96 GWh by 2025 and including BYD GS Yuasa Farasis etc capacities far 28

above 100 GWh can be expected Together with the new EU cell producers this could easily 29

sum up towards the above mentioned 200 GWh demand in Europe But it also clearly indicates 30

44

the competition the emerging European players have to face (besides the fact that the plans 1

of the Asian companies are expected to be realized already several years earlier as those of 2

the novel EU companies) 3

2353 Product design trends and technological roadmap 4

Concerning the battery technology or type (by chemistry format etc) which will most likely 5

be produced to address this increasing demand the global roadmaps of cell producers are 6

basically similar Based on state-of-the art cell design (eg LFP NCA based ldquogeneration 1rdquo 7

and NMC111 to NMC532 ldquogeneration 2abrdquo Li-ion batteries) [52] and state-of-the-art 8

production equipment incremental improvements are expected in the next few years but with 9

the target to get to higher-energy lithium-ion batteries Concerning the electrolytes still liquid 10

electrolytes will be used but adopted to the changing electrode materials (eg with additives) 11

Current trends for layered oxide cathodes describe the development of Ni-rich (Co reduced) 12

materials (NMC) A few cell producers are already using NMC811 or comparable cathode 13

materials others are still adopting NMC622 (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3ardquo) On cathode 14

side maybe even lower-cost Mn-rich High Energy NMCs (HE-NMC) might be realized and 15

produced within ~10 years as Mn is cheaper than Ni (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3brdquo) On 16

anode side the trend is to incorporate Si-nano particles to make use of the alloying reaction 17

between Si and Li yielding a high capacitance This however comes at the cost of cycle life 18

Further down the road we might see higher Si contents (~20) 19

20

All-solid-state batteries are on the roadmap of many battery producers but also OEM (also 21

referred to as ldquogeneration 4rdquo) The key performance parameters (KPI) are suitable for electric 22

mobility (EV) Main challenges are indeed manufacturability particularly for ceramic solid state 23

electrolytes which promise to yield the highest advantages over state of the art technologies 24

The market introduction in niche applications is expected possible prior to the use in 25

automotive applications First all-solid-state batteries might not be competitive in terms of 26

energy density but safety properties Later on energy densities of 350-400 Whkg and higher 27

are expected 28

Other technologies (not marked in blue in the above figure) feature certain USPs compared to 4

Li-ion batteries but (according to the current level of knowledge) do not reach the necessary 5

KPIs in terms of energy density power density and cycling stability necessary for electric 6

mobility (these are marked in grey) USPs of these technologies can be cost resource 7

availability either volumetric or gravimetric energy density or others But often even 8

fundamental challenges are not solved yet (eg concerning the stability of materials and 9

24 Consumer expenditure base data 2

241 General objective of subtask 24 and approach 3

Subtask 24 gives an overview about average production costs and consumer prices incl 4

VAT (for consumer prices streetprice) excl VAT (for B2B products) as well as an estimation 5

of repair and maintenance as well as installation and disposal costs 6

Due to their recent larger scale market introduction there is still little experience with 7

maintenance as well as disposal expenses Hence only estimations can be made based on 8

isolated sources 9

242 Development of LIB cell costs 10

As the core of LIB based energy storage systems the battery cell exhibits the highest cost 11

share During the last years particularly standardized 18650 format LIB cells have 12

experienced a steep cost learning curve benefiting from production scale effects but also 13

from technological advancements on material level increasing the energy density per volume 14

and weight and decreasing the amount of cost intense Cobalt-based components Compared 15

to this benchmark larger format LIB cells (Pouch prismatic) as are utilized in xEVs and ESS 16

predominantly feature lower energy densities at higher cost per kWh There are however no 17

principal limitations which would prevent a performance and cost development similar to what 18

was observed for cylindrical cells Figure 39 shows the cost learning curves for cylindrical as 19

well as larger format LIB cells [33] Today average costs for cells suitable for automotive use 20

are below 150 eurokWh (cylindrical) and around 200 eurokWh (Pouchprismatic) In specific cases 21

prices around 100 eurokWh have been reported already [53] It should however be noted that 22

with the current market situation LIB prices being below costs are not unlikely to occur 23

Until 2025 production costs of the different cell formats are expected to approach and fall 24

below the mark of 100 eurokWh between 2020 and 2025 Taking further developments on 25

material level into account costs around 60-100 eurokWh seam feasible past 2025 26

Figure 39 Cost learning curves for large LIB cells (cylindrical and Pouchprismatic) [33] 3

Similar cost learning curves have been observed for other battery technologies (see Figure 4

40) In principal cost degression can be limited by demand (compare NiCd) or by reaching 5

material cost limits (compare Pb) Also the diffusion of battery technologies in new markets 6

or applications can lead to further technological improvements and justify higher production 7

costs (compare deviation of NiMH Pb) Following the available data for LIB cells approx 100 8

$kWh (~89 eurokWh) are reached at a cumulative yearly production of 1TWh This mark is 9

expected to be reached between 2020 and 2030 10

Beyond 2030 LIB production costs are however expected to start deviating from this curve 11

due to limiting raw material prices 12

243 Development of storage cost for xEVs and ESS 4

2432 ESS 7

According to recent end-customer price data provided in [55] for 2018 typical consumer prices 8

for small scale (~10 kWh) stationary home storage systems are between 5000 and 15000 9

Euros leading to a relative price of 800 to 1200 eurokWh It is expected that these system prices 10

will benefit from the growing battery markets (also xEV) since similar LIB cell types can be 11

applied in both application areas With respect to inverters and other system related costs the 12

smaller market volume of home ESS indicates lower economy of scale effects as compared 13

to cells 14

244 Installation repair and maintenance costs 15

2441 xEV 16

So far no comprehensive information on repair and maintenance costs for the battery system 17

of xEVs are available Due to still rather accommodating service policies repair or 18

replacement of batteries is so far often covered by the manufacturer 19

Will be added in a later review 5

2451 Second life and recycling considerations 6

Until today only pilot projects Strategy of automotive OEM regarding second life applications 7

is not known 8

Value of recycled materials can be estimated 9

Three main scenarios possible after end of 1st life (xEV) 10

1 Disposal of batteries (eg separation of liquid and solid components hazardous waste 11

disposal) 12

2 Recycling of batteries and direct regeneration and re-use of cathode materials (2a) or 13

recovery of metals (2b) 14

3 2nd life in ESS applications under limited load (low DOD cycling low power) 15

16

Scenario 1 will add another component to battery costs scenario 2 and 3 could significantly 17

decrease the cost of batteries if energy efficient recycling methods can be developed or viable 18

2nd life business models are established 19

26 Annex 1

2611 Modelling of addressable markets for electric applications 2

Vehicle markets (in units of registrations in the EU28 per year) and ESS markets (in units of 3

number of installed home PV systems or in units of overall renewable (PV wind) electricity 4

generation in the EU28 per year) were modelled by exponential functions 5

119872119905119886119901119901(119905) = 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 6

With Mtapp(t) being the total market volume of an application M0 the market size in 2015 and 7

120591 times 119871119899(2) the time t necessary to double the initial market volume M0 M0 and Tau were chosen 8

to fit existing market data 9

119872119886119901119901(119905) = 119888 times 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 10

With Mapp(t) being the addressable market and c a factor equal or smaller than 1 Parameter 11

c lt 1 was chosen to take into account that not the whole existing market Mtapp might be 12

addressable by electric technologies Eg a share of vehicles primarily used for long distance 13

travel might not be addressable by BEV but by PHEV only 14

The market addressable for passenger PHEV (as a transition technology on the path to full 15

electric vehicles) was modelled as the difference of total vehicle sales and BEV sales 16

119872119875119867119864119881(119905) = 119888 times 119872119905119901119886119904119904119890119899119892119890119903(119905) minus 119878119861119864119881(119905) 17

The market addressable for passenger BEV was modelled like Mapp(t) with c lt 1 18

2612 Modelling of sales numbers of xEV and ESS 19

Yearly sales numbers Sapp(t) for the different applications were modelled by logistic growth 20

functions Logistic functions can model diffusion of technologies into existing markets with a 21

given market volume M The market volume can be a moving target M = M(t) The relative 22

change of sales numbers Srsquoapp(t)Sapp(t) is proportional to the market volume not yet 23

developed by a technology Mapp(t) ndash Sapp(t) 24

119878119886119901119901(119905) = 119872119886119901119901(119905) times1

1 + 119864119909119901(minus119872119886119901119901(119905) times (119905 minus 1199050)120591)(119872119886119901119901(119905)

119878119886119901119901(1199050)minus 1)

25

With Tau being a time constant and Sapp(t0) being the yearly sales number at year t0 (eg 26

2015) 27

Short time constants Tau of few years were used to model ESS sales Due to limitations of 28

the existing electricity grid to only buffer a certain share of fluctuating PV and wind generated 29

electricity the further expansion of renewable electricity generation might be strongly coupled 30

to ESS installations Hence ESS sales were modelled to closely follow the assumed 31

installations of renewable power in the limit of ldquovery fastrdquo market diffusion (120591 rarr 0) 32

2613 Modelling of battery system capacities 33

Battery capacities EBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws In 34

particular BEV battery capacities increased in the last years from 30 kWh in 2013 to more than 35

40 kWh in 2018 (EU sales and production averages) In the long term we expect BEV 36

capacities to converge towards a value sufficient to provide average driving ranges of some 37

100 km Battery capacity growth rates are hence supposed to slow down 38

119864119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198640 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 1

With E0 being the average battery capacity in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years and 2

b an exponent lt 1 The parameters were chosen to fit existing data 3

2614 Modelling of battery replacement rates 4

Battery replacement rates RrBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws 5

The replacement rate defines the share of batteries installed in year t that had to be replaced 6

within the lifetime of a system (xEV ESS) In particular for vehicles it is assumed that xEV 7

manufacturers currently install battery cells with a high lifetime and cyclability (several 8

thousand cycles) In the mid-term we expect that battery life and vehicle life (eg 200000 to 9

300000 km) will be matched by car manufacturers Assuming a constant vehicle lifetime 10

battery replacement rates are supposed to increase over time 11

119877119903119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198770 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 12

With R0 being the average replacement rate in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years 13

and b an exponent lt 1 At present there is no data available to fit the parameters Parameters 14

were estimated based on the usage profile and load of different applications 15

2615 Modelling of system lifetimes (xEV ESS) 16

System lifetimes Ltsystem(t) were assumed to be constant Ltsystem(t)= Ltsystem Parameters were 17

estimated based on manufacturer statements and typical lifetimes for combustion powered 18

vehicles 19

2616 Calculation of battery replacements 20

Battery replacements RpBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 21

calculated by assuming a uniform distribution of battery replacements over the lifetime 22

Ltsystem(i) of battery systems installed in year i 23

119877119901119861119886119905119905(119905) = sum119877119903119861119886119905119905(119894) times 119878119886119901119901(119894) times 119864119861119886119905119905(119894)

24

2617 Calculation of battery decommissions 25

Battery decommissions DcBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 26

assumed to happen coincident with the end of life of the systems (Ltsystem) they were installed 27

in in year i This neglects any second life usage in t gt i It was assumed that xEV or ESS 28

manufacturers will tune the battery lifetime to match the system lifetime (see 2614) 29

2618 Calculation of yearly installed battery capacity 31

The yearly installed battery capacity Sbapp(t) in the EU28 was calculated as 32

119878119887119886119901119901(119905) = 119878119886119901119901(119905) times 119864119886119901119901119861119886119905119905(119905) + 119877119901119886119901119901

Several consortia are currently attempting to build up a European large scale cell 4

manufacturing such as Nothvolt (Sweden) with 32 GWh until 2023 or Saft (together with 5

Siemens and Manz) [39] Recently the German government announced plans for funding of 6

a Batterie-Cell-Alliance between Germany and Poland with cell production capacities in the 7

Regions Lausitz (Germany) and Westpoland [40 41] At the cross section between RampD and 8

large-scale production also a Research Production with 600 Mio EUR funding is foreseen 9

whereas the Fraunhofer Society should coordinate and run such a research production [42] 10

The announced funding from the German government sums up to 2 bn EUR 11

Given all these announced investments and production capacities to build up in the next years 12

the cell production capacities of European cell manufacturers could sum up to over 40 GWh 13

beyond 2025 In contrast main Asian cell manufacturer have already started with cell 14

production (eg LG SDI) or plan to build up production capacities until 2020 to 2025 In 15

concrete there are plans from [43ndash51] 16

17

bull CATL (China) to build 14 GWh in Germany Erfurt beyond 2020 18

bull LG Chem (Japan) to build 15 to 24 GWh (for 03 Mio EVs) in Poland beyond 2020 19

bull Samsung SDI (Japan) to build 10 to 15 GWh beyond 2020 in Hungary (including a 20

recent 5 GWh announcement for 21700 cells for Land Rover 21

bull SK Innovation (Japan) to build 75 GWh in Hungary beyond 2020 22

bull PanasonicTesla to build a (assumed 35GWh) Gigafactory in Europa around 2025 23

bull as well as from BYD (China) GS Yuasa (Japan) and Farasis (US) to build production 24

capacities between 2020 and 2025 25

26

The production capacities from Asian (or non-European) cell manufacturer might sum up to 27

well above 82-96 GWh by 2025 and including BYD GS Yuasa Farasis etc capacities far 28

above 100 GWh can be expected Together with the new EU cell producers this could easily 29

sum up towards the above mentioned 200 GWh demand in Europe But it also clearly indicates 30

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

44

the competition the emerging European players have to face (besides the fact that the plans 1

of the Asian companies are expected to be realized already several years earlier as those of 2

the novel EU companies) 3

2353 Product design trends and technological roadmap 4

Concerning the battery technology or type (by chemistry format etc) which will most likely 5

be produced to address this increasing demand the global roadmaps of cell producers are 6

basically similar Based on state-of-the art cell design (eg LFP NCA based ldquogeneration 1rdquo 7

and NMC111 to NMC532 ldquogeneration 2abrdquo Li-ion batteries) [52] and state-of-the-art 8

production equipment incremental improvements are expected in the next few years but with 9

the target to get to higher-energy lithium-ion batteries Concerning the electrolytes still liquid 10

electrolytes will be used but adopted to the changing electrode materials (eg with additives) 11

Current trends for layered oxide cathodes describe the development of Ni-rich (Co reduced) 12

materials (NMC) A few cell producers are already using NMC811 or comparable cathode 13

materials others are still adopting NMC622 (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3ardquo) On cathode 14

side maybe even lower-cost Mn-rich High Energy NMCs (HE-NMC) might be realized and 15

produced within ~10 years as Mn is cheaper than Ni (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3brdquo) On 16

anode side the trend is to incorporate Si-nano particles to make use of the alloying reaction 17

between Si and Li yielding a high capacitance This however comes at the cost of cycle life 18

Further down the road we might see higher Si contents (~20) 19

20

All-solid-state batteries are on the roadmap of many battery producers but also OEM (also 21

referred to as ldquogeneration 4rdquo) The key performance parameters (KPI) are suitable for electric 22

mobility (EV) Main challenges are indeed manufacturability particularly for ceramic solid state 23

electrolytes which promise to yield the highest advantages over state of the art technologies 24

The market introduction in niche applications is expected possible prior to the use in 25

automotive applications First all-solid-state batteries might not be competitive in terms of 26

energy density but safety properties Later on energy densities of 350-400 Whkg and higher 27

are expected 28

Other technologies (not marked in blue in the above figure) feature certain USPs compared to 4

Li-ion batteries but (according to the current level of knowledge) do not reach the necessary 5

KPIs in terms of energy density power density and cycling stability necessary for electric 6

mobility (these are marked in grey) USPs of these technologies can be cost resource 7

availability either volumetric or gravimetric energy density or others But often even 8

fundamental challenges are not solved yet (eg concerning the stability of materials and 9

electrochemical systems kinetics etc) 10

24 Consumer expenditure base data 2

241 General objective of subtask 24 and approach 3

Subtask 24 gives an overview about average production costs and consumer prices incl 4

VAT (for consumer prices streetprice) excl VAT (for B2B products) as well as an estimation 5

of repair and maintenance as well as installation and disposal costs 6

Due to their recent larger scale market introduction there is still little experience with 7

maintenance as well as disposal expenses Hence only estimations can be made based on 8

isolated sources 9

242 Development of LIB cell costs 10

As the core of LIB based energy storage systems the battery cell exhibits the highest cost 11

share During the last years particularly standardized 18650 format LIB cells have 12

experienced a steep cost learning curve benefiting from production scale effects but also 13

from technological advancements on material level increasing the energy density per volume 14

and weight and decreasing the amount of cost intense Cobalt-based components Compared 15

to this benchmark larger format LIB cells (Pouch prismatic) as are utilized in xEVs and ESS 16

predominantly feature lower energy densities at higher cost per kWh There are however no 17

principal limitations which would prevent a performance and cost development similar to what 18

was observed for cylindrical cells Figure 39 shows the cost learning curves for cylindrical as 19

well as larger format LIB cells [33] Today average costs for cells suitable for automotive use 20

are below 150 eurokWh (cylindrical) and around 200 eurokWh (Pouchprismatic) In specific cases 21

prices around 100 eurokWh have been reported already [53] It should however be noted that 22

with the current market situation LIB prices being below costs are not unlikely to occur 23

Until 2025 production costs of the different cell formats are expected to approach and fall 24

below the mark of 100 eurokWh between 2020 and 2025 Taking further developments on 25

material level into account costs around 60-100 eurokWh seam feasible past 2025 26

Figure 39 Cost learning curves for large LIB cells (cylindrical and Pouchprismatic) [33] 3

Similar cost learning curves have been observed for other battery technologies (see Figure 4

40) In principal cost degression can be limited by demand (compare NiCd) or by reaching 5

material cost limits (compare Pb) Also the diffusion of battery technologies in new markets 6

or applications can lead to further technological improvements and justify higher production 7

costs (compare deviation of NiMH Pb) Following the available data for LIB cells approx 100 8

$kWh (~89 eurokWh) are reached at a cumulative yearly production of 1TWh This mark is 9

expected to be reached between 2020 and 2030 10

Beyond 2030 LIB production costs are however expected to start deviating from this curve 11

due to limiting raw material prices 12

243 Development of storage cost for xEVs and ESS 4

2432 ESS 7

According to recent end-customer price data provided in [55] for 2018 typical consumer prices 8

for small scale (~10 kWh) stationary home storage systems are between 5000 and 15000 9

Euros leading to a relative price of 800 to 1200 eurokWh It is expected that these system prices 10

will benefit from the growing battery markets (also xEV) since similar LIB cell types can be 11

applied in both application areas With respect to inverters and other system related costs the 12

smaller market volume of home ESS indicates lower economy of scale effects as compared 13

to cells 14

244 Installation repair and maintenance costs 15

2441 xEV 16

So far no comprehensive information on repair and maintenance costs for the battery system 17

of xEVs are available Due to still rather accommodating service policies repair or 18

replacement of batteries is so far often covered by the manufacturer 19

Installation costs of home storage systems are estimated to be between 900 ndash 3500 euro [56] 2

245 LIB life-cycle disposal and recycling considerations 4

Will be added in a later review 5

2451 Second life and recycling considerations 6

Until today only pilot projects Strategy of automotive OEM regarding second life applications 7

is not known 8

Value of recycled materials can be estimated 9

Three main scenarios possible after end of 1st life (xEV) 10

1 Disposal of batteries (eg separation of liquid and solid components hazardous waste 11

disposal) 12

2 Recycling of batteries and direct regeneration and re-use of cathode materials (2a) or 13

recovery of metals (2b) 14

3 2nd life in ESS applications under limited load (low DOD cycling low power) 15

16

Scenario 1 will add another component to battery costs scenario 2 and 3 could significantly 17

decrease the cost of batteries if energy efficient recycling methods can be developed or viable 18

2nd life business models are established 19

26 Annex 1

2611 Modelling of addressable markets for electric applications 2

Vehicle markets (in units of registrations in the EU28 per year) and ESS markets (in units of 3

number of installed home PV systems or in units of overall renewable (PV wind) electricity 4

generation in the EU28 per year) were modelled by exponential functions 5

119872119905119886119901119901(119905) = 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 6

With Mtapp(t) being the total market volume of an application M0 the market size in 2015 and 7

120591 times 119871119899(2) the time t necessary to double the initial market volume M0 M0 and Tau were chosen 8

to fit existing market data 9

119872119886119901119901(119905) = 119888 times 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 10

With Mapp(t) being the addressable market and c a factor equal or smaller than 1 Parameter 11

c lt 1 was chosen to take into account that not the whole existing market Mtapp might be 12

addressable by electric technologies Eg a share of vehicles primarily used for long distance 13

travel might not be addressable by BEV but by PHEV only 14

The market addressable for passenger PHEV (as a transition technology on the path to full 15

electric vehicles) was modelled as the difference of total vehicle sales and BEV sales 16

119872119875119867119864119881(119905) = 119888 times 119872119905119901119886119904119904119890119899119892119890119903(119905) minus 119878119861119864119881(119905) 17

The market addressable for passenger BEV was modelled like Mapp(t) with c lt 1 18

2612 Modelling of sales numbers of xEV and ESS 19

Yearly sales numbers Sapp(t) for the different applications were modelled by logistic growth 20

functions Logistic functions can model diffusion of technologies into existing markets with a 21

given market volume M The market volume can be a moving target M = M(t) The relative 22

change of sales numbers Srsquoapp(t)Sapp(t) is proportional to the market volume not yet 23

developed by a technology Mapp(t) ndash Sapp(t) 24

119878119886119901119901(119905) = 119872119886119901119901(119905) times1

1 + 119864119909119901(minus119872119886119901119901(119905) times (119905 minus 1199050)120591)(119872119886119901119901(119905)

119878119886119901119901(1199050)minus 1)

25

With Tau being a time constant and Sapp(t0) being the yearly sales number at year t0 (eg 26

2015) 27

Short time constants Tau of few years were used to model ESS sales Due to limitations of 28

the existing electricity grid to only buffer a certain share of fluctuating PV and wind generated 29

electricity the further expansion of renewable electricity generation might be strongly coupled 30

to ESS installations Hence ESS sales were modelled to closely follow the assumed 31

installations of renewable power in the limit of ldquovery fastrdquo market diffusion (120591 rarr 0) 32

2613 Modelling of battery system capacities 33

Battery capacities EBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws In 34

particular BEV battery capacities increased in the last years from 30 kWh in 2013 to more than 35

40 kWh in 2018 (EU sales and production averages) In the long term we expect BEV 36

capacities to converge towards a value sufficient to provide average driving ranges of some 37

100 km Battery capacity growth rates are hence supposed to slow down 38

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

52

119864119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198640 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 1

With E0 being the average battery capacity in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years and 2

b an exponent lt 1 The parameters were chosen to fit existing data 3

2614 Modelling of battery replacement rates 4

Battery replacement rates RrBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws 5

The replacement rate defines the share of batteries installed in year t that had to be replaced 6

within the lifetime of a system (xEV ESS) In particular for vehicles it is assumed that xEV 7

manufacturers currently install battery cells with a high lifetime and cyclability (several 8

thousand cycles) In the mid-term we expect that battery life and vehicle life (eg 200000 to 9

300000 km) will be matched by car manufacturers Assuming a constant vehicle lifetime 10

battery replacement rates are supposed to increase over time 11

119877119903119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198770 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 12

With R0 being the average replacement rate in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years 13

and b an exponent lt 1 At present there is no data available to fit the parameters Parameters 14

were estimated based on the usage profile and load of different applications 15

2615 Modelling of system lifetimes (xEV ESS) 16

System lifetimes Ltsystem(t) were assumed to be constant Ltsystem(t)= Ltsystem Parameters were 17

estimated based on manufacturer statements and typical lifetimes for combustion powered 18

vehicles 19

2616 Calculation of battery replacements 20

Battery replacements RpBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 21

calculated by assuming a uniform distribution of battery replacements over the lifetime 22

Ltsystem(i) of battery systems installed in year i 23

119877119901119861119886119905119905(119905) = sum119877119903119861119886119905119905(119894) times 119878119886119901119901(119894) times 119864119861119886119905119905(119894)

24

2617 Calculation of battery decommissions 25

Battery decommissions DcBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 26

assumed to happen coincident with the end of life of the systems (Ltsystem) they were installed 27

in in year i This neglects any second life usage in t gt i It was assumed that xEV or ESS 28

manufacturers will tune the battery lifetime to match the system lifetime (see 2614) 29

2618 Calculation of yearly installed battery capacity 31

The yearly installed battery capacity Sbapp(t) in the EU28 was calculated as 32

119878119887119886119901119901(119905) = 119878119886119901119901(119905) times 119864119886119901119901119861119886119905119905(119905) + 119877119901119886119901119901

Figure 37 LIB cell production capacities by location of plant [38] 2

3

Several consortia are currently attempting to build up a European large scale cell 4

manufacturing such as Nothvolt (Sweden) with 32 GWh until 2023 or Saft (together with 5

Siemens and Manz) [39] Recently the German government announced plans for funding of 6

a Batterie-Cell-Alliance between Germany and Poland with cell production capacities in the 7

Regions Lausitz (Germany) and Westpoland [40 41] At the cross section between RampD and 8

large-scale production also a Research Production with 600 Mio EUR funding is foreseen 9

whereas the Fraunhofer Society should coordinate and run such a research production [42] 10

The announced funding from the German government sums up to 2 bn EUR 11

Given all these announced investments and production capacities to build up in the next years 12

the cell production capacities of European cell manufacturers could sum up to over 40 GWh 13

beyond 2025 In contrast main Asian cell manufacturer have already started with cell 14

production (eg LG SDI) or plan to build up production capacities until 2020 to 2025 In 15

concrete there are plans from [43ndash51] 16

17

bull CATL (China) to build 14 GWh in Germany Erfurt beyond 2020 18

bull LG Chem (Japan) to build 15 to 24 GWh (for 03 Mio EVs) in Poland beyond 2020 19

bull Samsung SDI (Japan) to build 10 to 15 GWh beyond 2020 in Hungary (including a 20

recent 5 GWh announcement for 21700 cells for Land Rover 21

bull SK Innovation (Japan) to build 75 GWh in Hungary beyond 2020 22

bull PanasonicTesla to build a (assumed 35GWh) Gigafactory in Europa around 2025 23

bull as well as from BYD (China) GS Yuasa (Japan) and Farasis (US) to build production 24

capacities between 2020 and 2025 25

26

The production capacities from Asian (or non-European) cell manufacturer might sum up to 27

well above 82-96 GWh by 2025 and including BYD GS Yuasa Farasis etc capacities far 28

above 100 GWh can be expected Together with the new EU cell producers this could easily 29

sum up towards the above mentioned 200 GWh demand in Europe But it also clearly indicates 30

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

44

the competition the emerging European players have to face (besides the fact that the plans 1

of the Asian companies are expected to be realized already several years earlier as those of 2

the novel EU companies) 3

2353 Product design trends and technological roadmap 4

Concerning the battery technology or type (by chemistry format etc) which will most likely 5

be produced to address this increasing demand the global roadmaps of cell producers are 6

basically similar Based on state-of-the art cell design (eg LFP NCA based ldquogeneration 1rdquo 7

and NMC111 to NMC532 ldquogeneration 2abrdquo Li-ion batteries) [52] and state-of-the-art 8

production equipment incremental improvements are expected in the next few years but with 9

the target to get to higher-energy lithium-ion batteries Concerning the electrolytes still liquid 10

electrolytes will be used but adopted to the changing electrode materials (eg with additives) 11

Current trends for layered oxide cathodes describe the development of Ni-rich (Co reduced) 12

materials (NMC) A few cell producers are already using NMC811 or comparable cathode 13

materials others are still adopting NMC622 (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3ardquo) On cathode 14

side maybe even lower-cost Mn-rich High Energy NMCs (HE-NMC) might be realized and 15

produced within ~10 years as Mn is cheaper than Ni (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3brdquo) On 16

anode side the trend is to incorporate Si-nano particles to make use of the alloying reaction 17

between Si and Li yielding a high capacitance This however comes at the cost of cycle life 18

Further down the road we might see higher Si contents (~20) 19

20

All-solid-state batteries are on the roadmap of many battery producers but also OEM (also 21

referred to as ldquogeneration 4rdquo) The key performance parameters (KPI) are suitable for electric 22

mobility (EV) Main challenges are indeed manufacturability particularly for ceramic solid state 23

electrolytes which promise to yield the highest advantages over state of the art technologies 24

The market introduction in niche applications is expected possible prior to the use in 25

automotive applications First all-solid-state batteries might not be competitive in terms of 26

energy density but safety properties Later on energy densities of 350-400 Whkg and higher 27

are expected 28

Other technologies (not marked in blue in the above figure) feature certain USPs compared to 4

Li-ion batteries but (according to the current level of knowledge) do not reach the necessary 5

KPIs in terms of energy density power density and cycling stability necessary for electric 6

mobility (these are marked in grey) USPs of these technologies can be cost resource 7

availability either volumetric or gravimetric energy density or others But often even 8

fundamental challenges are not solved yet (eg concerning the stability of materials and 9

electrochemical systems kinetics etc) 10

24 Consumer expenditure base data 2

241 General objective of subtask 24 and approach 3

Subtask 24 gives an overview about average production costs and consumer prices incl 4

VAT (for consumer prices streetprice) excl VAT (for B2B products) as well as an estimation 5

of repair and maintenance as well as installation and disposal costs 6

Due to their recent larger scale market introduction there is still little experience with 7

maintenance as well as disposal expenses Hence only estimations can be made based on 8

isolated sources 9

242 Development of LIB cell costs 10

As the core of LIB based energy storage systems the battery cell exhibits the highest cost 11

share During the last years particularly standardized 18650 format LIB cells have 12

experienced a steep cost learning curve benefiting from production scale effects but also 13

from technological advancements on material level increasing the energy density per volume 14

and weight and decreasing the amount of cost intense Cobalt-based components Compared 15

to this benchmark larger format LIB cells (Pouch prismatic) as are utilized in xEVs and ESS 16

predominantly feature lower energy densities at higher cost per kWh There are however no 17

principal limitations which would prevent a performance and cost development similar to what 18

was observed for cylindrical cells Figure 39 shows the cost learning curves for cylindrical as 19

well as larger format LIB cells [33] Today average costs for cells suitable for automotive use 20

are below 150 eurokWh (cylindrical) and around 200 eurokWh (Pouchprismatic) In specific cases 21

prices around 100 eurokWh have been reported already [53] It should however be noted that 22

with the current market situation LIB prices being below costs are not unlikely to occur 23

Until 2025 production costs of the different cell formats are expected to approach and fall 24

below the mark of 100 eurokWh between 2020 and 2025 Taking further developments on 25

material level into account costs around 60-100 eurokWh seam feasible past 2025 26

Figure 39 Cost learning curves for large LIB cells (cylindrical and Pouchprismatic) [33] 3

Similar cost learning curves have been observed for other battery technologies (see Figure 4

40) In principal cost degression can be limited by demand (compare NiCd) or by reaching 5

material cost limits (compare Pb) Also the diffusion of battery technologies in new markets 6

or applications can lead to further technological improvements and justify higher production 7

costs (compare deviation of NiMH Pb) Following the available data for LIB cells approx 100 8

$kWh (~89 eurokWh) are reached at a cumulative yearly production of 1TWh This mark is 9

expected to be reached between 2020 and 2030 10

Beyond 2030 LIB production costs are however expected to start deviating from this curve 11

due to limiting raw material prices 12

2432 ESS 7

According to recent end-customer price data provided in [55] for 2018 typical consumer prices 8

for small scale (~10 kWh) stationary home storage systems are between 5000 and 15000 9

Euros leading to a relative price of 800 to 1200 eurokWh It is expected that these system prices 10

will benefit from the growing battery markets (also xEV) since similar LIB cell types can be 11

applied in both application areas With respect to inverters and other system related costs the 12

smaller market volume of home ESS indicates lower economy of scale effects as compared 13

to cells 14

244 Installation repair and maintenance costs 15

2441 xEV 16

So far no comprehensive information on repair and maintenance costs for the battery system 17

of xEVs are available Due to still rather accommodating service policies repair or 18

replacement of batteries is so far often covered by the manufacturer 19

245 LIB life-cycle disposal and recycling considerations 4

Will be added in a later review 5

2451 Second life and recycling considerations 6

Until today only pilot projects Strategy of automotive OEM regarding second life applications 7

is not known 8

Value of recycled materials can be estimated 9

Three main scenarios possible after end of 1st life (xEV) 10

1 Disposal of batteries (eg separation of liquid and solid components hazardous waste 11

disposal) 12

2 Recycling of batteries and direct regeneration and re-use of cathode materials (2a) or 13

recovery of metals (2b) 14

3 2nd life in ESS applications under limited load (low DOD cycling low power) 15

16

Scenario 1 will add another component to battery costs scenario 2 and 3 could significantly 17

decrease the cost of batteries if energy efficient recycling methods can be developed or viable 18

2nd life business models are established 19

26 Annex 1

2611 Modelling of addressable markets for electric applications 2

Vehicle markets (in units of registrations in the EU28 per year) and ESS markets (in units of 3

number of installed home PV systems or in units of overall renewable (PV wind) electricity 4

generation in the EU28 per year) were modelled by exponential functions 5

119872119905119886119901119901(119905) = 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 6

With Mtapp(t) being the total market volume of an application M0 the market size in 2015 and 7

120591 times 119871119899(2) the time t necessary to double the initial market volume M0 M0 and Tau were chosen 8

to fit existing market data 9

119872119886119901119901(119905) = 119888 times 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 10

With Mapp(t) being the addressable market and c a factor equal or smaller than 1 Parameter 11

c lt 1 was chosen to take into account that not the whole existing market Mtapp might be 12

addressable by electric technologies Eg a share of vehicles primarily used for long distance 13

travel might not be addressable by BEV but by PHEV only 14

The market addressable for passenger PHEV (as a transition technology on the path to full 15

electric vehicles) was modelled as the difference of total vehicle sales and BEV sales 16

119872119875119867119864119881(119905) = 119888 times 119872119905119901119886119904119904119890119899119892119890119903(119905) minus 119878119861119864119881(119905) 17

The market addressable for passenger BEV was modelled like Mapp(t) with c lt 1 18

2612 Modelling of sales numbers of xEV and ESS 19

Yearly sales numbers Sapp(t) for the different applications were modelled by logistic growth 20

functions Logistic functions can model diffusion of technologies into existing markets with a 21

given market volume M The market volume can be a moving target M = M(t) The relative 22

change of sales numbers Srsquoapp(t)Sapp(t) is proportional to the market volume not yet 23

developed by a technology Mapp(t) ndash Sapp(t) 24

119878119886119901119901(119905) = 119872119886119901119901(119905) times1

1 + 119864119909119901(minus119872119886119901119901(119905) times (119905 minus 1199050)120591)(119872119886119901119901(119905)

119878119886119901119901(1199050)minus 1)

25

With Tau being a time constant and Sapp(t0) being the yearly sales number at year t0 (eg 26

2015) 27

Short time constants Tau of few years were used to model ESS sales Due to limitations of 28

the existing electricity grid to only buffer a certain share of fluctuating PV and wind generated 29

electricity the further expansion of renewable electricity generation might be strongly coupled 30

to ESS installations Hence ESS sales were modelled to closely follow the assumed 31

installations of renewable power in the limit of ldquovery fastrdquo market diffusion (120591 rarr 0) 32

2613 Modelling of battery system capacities 33

Battery capacities EBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws In 34

particular BEV battery capacities increased in the last years from 30 kWh in 2013 to more than 35

40 kWh in 2018 (EU sales and production averages) In the long term we expect BEV 36

capacities to converge towards a value sufficient to provide average driving ranges of some 37

100 km Battery capacity growth rates are hence supposed to slow down 38

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

52

119864119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198640 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 1

With E0 being the average battery capacity in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years and 2

b an exponent lt 1 The parameters were chosen to fit existing data 3

2614 Modelling of battery replacement rates 4

Battery replacement rates RrBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws 5

The replacement rate defines the share of batteries installed in year t that had to be replaced 6

within the lifetime of a system (xEV ESS) In particular for vehicles it is assumed that xEV 7

manufacturers currently install battery cells with a high lifetime and cyclability (several 8

thousand cycles) In the mid-term we expect that battery life and vehicle life (eg 200000 to 9

300000 km) will be matched by car manufacturers Assuming a constant vehicle lifetime 10

battery replacement rates are supposed to increase over time 11

119877119903119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198770 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 12

With R0 being the average replacement rate in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years 13

and b an exponent lt 1 At present there is no data available to fit the parameters Parameters 14

were estimated based on the usage profile and load of different applications 15

2615 Modelling of system lifetimes (xEV ESS) 16

System lifetimes Ltsystem(t) were assumed to be constant Ltsystem(t)= Ltsystem Parameters were 17

estimated based on manufacturer statements and typical lifetimes for combustion powered 18

vehicles 19

2616 Calculation of battery replacements 20

Battery replacements RpBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 21

calculated by assuming a uniform distribution of battery replacements over the lifetime 22

Ltsystem(i) of battery systems installed in year i 23

119877119901119861119886119905119905(119905) = sum119877119903119861119886119905119905(119894) times 119878119886119901119901(119894) times 119864119861119886119905119905(119894)

24

2617 Calculation of battery decommissions 25

Battery decommissions DcBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 26

assumed to happen coincident with the end of life of the systems (Ltsystem) they were installed 27

in in year i This neglects any second life usage in t gt i It was assumed that xEV or ESS 28

manufacturers will tune the battery lifetime to match the system lifetime (see 2614) 29

the competition the emerging European players have to face (besides the fact that the plans 1

of the Asian companies are expected to be realized already several years earlier as those of 2

the novel EU companies) 3

2353 Product design trends and technological roadmap 4

Concerning the battery technology or type (by chemistry format etc) which will most likely 5

be produced to address this increasing demand the global roadmaps of cell producers are 6

basically similar Based on state-of-the art cell design (eg LFP NCA based ldquogeneration 1rdquo 7

and NMC111 to NMC532 ldquogeneration 2abrdquo Li-ion batteries) [52] and state-of-the-art 8

production equipment incremental improvements are expected in the next few years but with 9

the target to get to higher-energy lithium-ion batteries Concerning the electrolytes still liquid 10

electrolytes will be used but adopted to the changing electrode materials (eg with additives) 11

Current trends for layered oxide cathodes describe the development of Ni-rich (Co reduced) 12

materials (NMC) A few cell producers are already using NMC811 or comparable cathode 13

materials others are still adopting NMC622 (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3ardquo) On cathode 14

side maybe even lower-cost Mn-rich High Energy NMCs (HE-NMC) might be realized and 15

produced within ~10 years as Mn is cheaper than Ni (also referred to as ldquogeneration 3brdquo) On 16

anode side the trend is to incorporate Si-nano particles to make use of the alloying reaction 17

between Si and Li yielding a high capacitance This however comes at the cost of cycle life 18

Further down the road we might see higher Si contents (~20) 19

20

All-solid-state batteries are on the roadmap of many battery producers but also OEM (also 21

referred to as ldquogeneration 4rdquo) The key performance parameters (KPI) are suitable for electric 22

mobility (EV) Main challenges are indeed manufacturability particularly for ceramic solid state 23

electrolytes which promise to yield the highest advantages over state of the art technologies 24

The market introduction in niche applications is expected possible prior to the use in 25

automotive applications First all-solid-state batteries might not be competitive in terms of 26

energy density but safety properties Later on energy densities of 350-400 Whkg and higher 27

are expected 28

Other technologies (not marked in blue in the above figure) feature certain USPs compared to 4

Li-ion batteries but (according to the current level of knowledge) do not reach the necessary 5

KPIs in terms of energy density power density and cycling stability necessary for electric 6

mobility (these are marked in grey) USPs of these technologies can be cost resource 7

availability either volumetric or gravimetric energy density or others But often even 8

fundamental challenges are not solved yet (eg concerning the stability of materials and 9

electrochemical systems kinetics etc) 10

24 Consumer expenditure base data 2

241 General objective of subtask 24 and approach 3

Subtask 24 gives an overview about average production costs and consumer prices incl 4

VAT (for consumer prices streetprice) excl VAT (for B2B products) as well as an estimation 5

of repair and maintenance as well as installation and disposal costs 6

Due to their recent larger scale market introduction there is still little experience with 7

maintenance as well as disposal expenses Hence only estimations can be made based on 8

isolated sources 9

242 Development of LIB cell costs 10

As the core of LIB based energy storage systems the battery cell exhibits the highest cost 11

share During the last years particularly standardized 18650 format LIB cells have 12

experienced a steep cost learning curve benefiting from production scale effects but also 13

from technological advancements on material level increasing the energy density per volume 14

and weight and decreasing the amount of cost intense Cobalt-based components Compared 15

to this benchmark larger format LIB cells (Pouch prismatic) as are utilized in xEVs and ESS 16

predominantly feature lower energy densities at higher cost per kWh There are however no 17

principal limitations which would prevent a performance and cost development similar to what 18

was observed for cylindrical cells Figure 39 shows the cost learning curves for cylindrical as 19

well as larger format LIB cells [33] Today average costs for cells suitable for automotive use 20

are below 150 eurokWh (cylindrical) and around 200 eurokWh (Pouchprismatic) In specific cases 21

prices around 100 eurokWh have been reported already [53] It should however be noted that 22

with the current market situation LIB prices being below costs are not unlikely to occur 23

Until 2025 production costs of the different cell formats are expected to approach and fall 24

below the mark of 100 eurokWh between 2020 and 2025 Taking further developments on 25

material level into account costs around 60-100 eurokWh seam feasible past 2025 26

Figure 39 Cost learning curves for large LIB cells (cylindrical and Pouchprismatic) [33] 3

Similar cost learning curves have been observed for other battery technologies (see Figure 4

40) In principal cost degression can be limited by demand (compare NiCd) or by reaching 5

material cost limits (compare Pb) Also the diffusion of battery technologies in new markets 6

or applications can lead to further technological improvements and justify higher production 7

costs (compare deviation of NiMH Pb) Following the available data for LIB cells approx 100 8

$kWh (~89 eurokWh) are reached at a cumulative yearly production of 1TWh This mark is 9

expected to be reached between 2020 and 2030 10

Beyond 2030 LIB production costs are however expected to start deviating from this curve 11

due to limiting raw material prices 12

2432 ESS 7

According to recent end-customer price data provided in [55] for 2018 typical consumer prices 8

for small scale (~10 kWh) stationary home storage systems are between 5000 and 15000 9

Euros leading to a relative price of 800 to 1200 eurokWh It is expected that these system prices 10

will benefit from the growing battery markets (also xEV) since similar LIB cell types can be 11

applied in both application areas With respect to inverters and other system related costs the 12

smaller market volume of home ESS indicates lower economy of scale effects as compared 13

to cells 14

244 Installation repair and maintenance costs 15

2441 xEV 16

So far no comprehensive information on repair and maintenance costs for the battery system 17

of xEVs are available Due to still rather accommodating service policies repair or 18

replacement of batteries is so far often covered by the manufacturer 19

Will be added in a later review 5

2451 Second life and recycling considerations 6

Until today only pilot projects Strategy of automotive OEM regarding second life applications 7

is not known 8

Value of recycled materials can be estimated 9

Three main scenarios possible after end of 1st life (xEV) 10

1 Disposal of batteries (eg separation of liquid and solid components hazardous waste 11

disposal) 12

2 Recycling of batteries and direct regeneration and re-use of cathode materials (2a) or 13

recovery of metals (2b) 14

3 2nd life in ESS applications under limited load (low DOD cycling low power) 15

16

Scenario 1 will add another component to battery costs scenario 2 and 3 could significantly 17

decrease the cost of batteries if energy efficient recycling methods can be developed or viable 18

2nd life business models are established 19

26 Annex 1

2611 Modelling of addressable markets for electric applications 2

Vehicle markets (in units of registrations in the EU28 per year) and ESS markets (in units of 3

number of installed home PV systems or in units of overall renewable (PV wind) electricity 4

generation in the EU28 per year) were modelled by exponential functions 5

119872119905119886119901119901(119905) = 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 6

With Mtapp(t) being the total market volume of an application M0 the market size in 2015 and 7

120591 times 119871119899(2) the time t necessary to double the initial market volume M0 M0 and Tau were chosen 8

to fit existing market data 9

119872119886119901119901(119905) = 119888 times 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 10

With Mapp(t) being the addressable market and c a factor equal or smaller than 1 Parameter 11

c lt 1 was chosen to take into account that not the whole existing market Mtapp might be 12

addressable by electric technologies Eg a share of vehicles primarily used for long distance 13

travel might not be addressable by BEV but by PHEV only 14

The market addressable for passenger PHEV (as a transition technology on the path to full 15

electric vehicles) was modelled as the difference of total vehicle sales and BEV sales 16

119872119875119867119864119881(119905) = 119888 times 119872119905119901119886119904119904119890119899119892119890119903(119905) minus 119878119861119864119881(119905) 17

The market addressable for passenger BEV was modelled like Mapp(t) with c lt 1 18

2612 Modelling of sales numbers of xEV and ESS 19

Yearly sales numbers Sapp(t) for the different applications were modelled by logistic growth 20

functions Logistic functions can model diffusion of technologies into existing markets with a 21

given market volume M The market volume can be a moving target M = M(t) The relative 22

change of sales numbers Srsquoapp(t)Sapp(t) is proportional to the market volume not yet 23

developed by a technology Mapp(t) ndash Sapp(t) 24

119878119886119901119901(119905) = 119872119886119901119901(119905) times1

1 + 119864119909119901(minus119872119886119901119901(119905) times (119905 minus 1199050)120591)(119872119886119901119901(119905)

119878119886119901119901(1199050)minus 1)

25

With Tau being a time constant and Sapp(t0) being the yearly sales number at year t0 (eg 26

2015) 27

Short time constants Tau of few years were used to model ESS sales Due to limitations of 28

the existing electricity grid to only buffer a certain share of fluctuating PV and wind generated 29

electricity the further expansion of renewable electricity generation might be strongly coupled 30

to ESS installations Hence ESS sales were modelled to closely follow the assumed 31

installations of renewable power in the limit of ldquovery fastrdquo market diffusion (120591 rarr 0) 32

2613 Modelling of battery system capacities 33

Battery capacities EBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws In 34

particular BEV battery capacities increased in the last years from 30 kWh in 2013 to more than 35

40 kWh in 2018 (EU sales and production averages) In the long term we expect BEV 36

capacities to converge towards a value sufficient to provide average driving ranges of some 37

100 km Battery capacity growth rates are hence supposed to slow down 38

52

119864119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198640 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 1

With E0 being the average battery capacity in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years and 2

b an exponent lt 1 The parameters were chosen to fit existing data 3

2614 Modelling of battery replacement rates 4

Battery replacement rates RrBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws 5

The replacement rate defines the share of batteries installed in year t that had to be replaced 6

within the lifetime of a system (xEV ESS) In particular for vehicles it is assumed that xEV 7

manufacturers currently install battery cells with a high lifetime and cyclability (several 8

thousand cycles) In the mid-term we expect that battery life and vehicle life (eg 200000 to 9

300000 km) will be matched by car manufacturers Assuming a constant vehicle lifetime 10

battery replacement rates are supposed to increase over time 11

119877119903119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198770 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 12

With R0 being the average replacement rate in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years 13

and b an exponent lt 1 At present there is no data available to fit the parameters Parameters 14

were estimated based on the usage profile and load of different applications 15

2615 Modelling of system lifetimes (xEV ESS) 16

System lifetimes Ltsystem(t) were assumed to be constant Ltsystem(t)= Ltsystem Parameters were 17

estimated based on manufacturer statements and typical lifetimes for combustion powered 18

vehicles 19

2616 Calculation of battery replacements 20

Battery replacements RpBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 21

calculated by assuming a uniform distribution of battery replacements over the lifetime 22

Ltsystem(i) of battery systems installed in year i 23

24 Consumer expenditure base data 2

241 General objective of subtask 24 and approach 3

Subtask 24 gives an overview about average production costs and consumer prices incl 4

VAT (for consumer prices streetprice) excl VAT (for B2B products) as well as an estimation 5

of repair and maintenance as well as installation and disposal costs 6

Due to their recent larger scale market introduction there is still little experience with 7

maintenance as well as disposal expenses Hence only estimations can be made based on 8

isolated sources 9

242 Development of LIB cell costs 10

As the core of LIB based energy storage systems the battery cell exhibits the highest cost 11

share During the last years particularly standardized 18650 format LIB cells have 12

experienced a steep cost learning curve benefiting from production scale effects but also 13

from technological advancements on material level increasing the energy density per volume 14

and weight and decreasing the amount of cost intense Cobalt-based components Compared 15

to this benchmark larger format LIB cells (Pouch prismatic) as are utilized in xEVs and ESS 16

predominantly feature lower energy densities at higher cost per kWh There are however no 17

principal limitations which would prevent a performance and cost development similar to what 18

was observed for cylindrical cells Figure 39 shows the cost learning curves for cylindrical as 19

well as larger format LIB cells [33] Today average costs for cells suitable for automotive use 20

are below 150 eurokWh (cylindrical) and around 200 eurokWh (Pouchprismatic) In specific cases 21

prices around 100 eurokWh have been reported already [53] It should however be noted that 22

with the current market situation LIB prices being below costs are not unlikely to occur 23

Until 2025 production costs of the different cell formats are expected to approach and fall 24

below the mark of 100 eurokWh between 2020 and 2025 Taking further developments on 25

material level into account costs around 60-100 eurokWh seam feasible past 2025 26

Figure 39 Cost learning curves for large LIB cells (cylindrical and Pouchprismatic) [33] 3

Similar cost learning curves have been observed for other battery technologies (see Figure 4

40) In principal cost degression can be limited by demand (compare NiCd) or by reaching 5

material cost limits (compare Pb) Also the diffusion of battery technologies in new markets 6

or applications can lead to further technological improvements and justify higher production 7

costs (compare deviation of NiMH Pb) Following the available data for LIB cells approx 100 8

$kWh (~89 eurokWh) are reached at a cumulative yearly production of 1TWh This mark is 9

expected to be reached between 2020 and 2030 10

Beyond 2030 LIB production costs are however expected to start deviating from this curve 11

due to limiting raw material prices 12

2432 ESS 7

According to recent end-customer price data provided in [55] for 2018 typical consumer prices 8

for small scale (~10 kWh) stationary home storage systems are between 5000 and 15000 9

Euros leading to a relative price of 800 to 1200 eurokWh It is expected that these system prices 10

will benefit from the growing battery markets (also xEV) since similar LIB cell types can be 11

applied in both application areas With respect to inverters and other system related costs the 12

smaller market volume of home ESS indicates lower economy of scale effects as compared 13

to cells 14

244 Installation repair and maintenance costs 15

2441 xEV 16

So far no comprehensive information on repair and maintenance costs for the battery system 17

of xEVs are available Due to still rather accommodating service policies repair or 18

replacement of batteries is so far often covered by the manufacturer 19

Will be added in a later review 5

2451 Second life and recycling considerations 6

Until today only pilot projects Strategy of automotive OEM regarding second life applications 7

is not known 8

Value of recycled materials can be estimated 9

Three main scenarios possible after end of 1st life (xEV) 10

1 Disposal of batteries (eg separation of liquid and solid components hazardous waste 11

disposal) 12

2 Recycling of batteries and direct regeneration and re-use of cathode materials (2a) or 13

recovery of metals (2b) 14

3 2nd life in ESS applications under limited load (low DOD cycling low power) 15

16

Scenario 1 will add another component to battery costs scenario 2 and 3 could significantly 17

decrease the cost of batteries if energy efficient recycling methods can be developed or viable 18

2nd life business models are established 19

26 Annex 1

2611 Modelling of addressable markets for electric applications 2

Vehicle markets (in units of registrations in the EU28 per year) and ESS markets (in units of 3

number of installed home PV systems or in units of overall renewable (PV wind) electricity 4

generation in the EU28 per year) were modelled by exponential functions 5

119872119905119886119901119901(119905) = 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 6

With Mtapp(t) being the total market volume of an application M0 the market size in 2015 and 7

120591 times 119871119899(2) the time t necessary to double the initial market volume M0 M0 and Tau were chosen 8

to fit existing market data 9

119872119886119901119901(119905) = 119888 times 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 10

With Mapp(t) being the addressable market and c a factor equal or smaller than 1 Parameter 11

c lt 1 was chosen to take into account that not the whole existing market Mtapp might be 12

addressable by electric technologies Eg a share of vehicles primarily used for long distance 13

travel might not be addressable by BEV but by PHEV only 14

The market addressable for passenger PHEV (as a transition technology on the path to full 15

electric vehicles) was modelled as the difference of total vehicle sales and BEV sales 16

119872119875119867119864119881(119905) = 119888 times 119872119905119901119886119904119904119890119899119892119890119903(119905) minus 119878119861119864119881(119905) 17

The market addressable for passenger BEV was modelled like Mapp(t) with c lt 1 18

2612 Modelling of sales numbers of xEV and ESS 19

Yearly sales numbers Sapp(t) for the different applications were modelled by logistic growth 20

functions Logistic functions can model diffusion of technologies into existing markets with a 21

given market volume M The market volume can be a moving target M = M(t) The relative 22

change of sales numbers Srsquoapp(t)Sapp(t) is proportional to the market volume not yet 23

developed by a technology Mapp(t) ndash Sapp(t) 24

119878119886119901119901(119905) = 119872119886119901119901(119905) times1

1 + 119864119909119901(minus119872119886119901119901(119905) times (119905 minus 1199050)120591)(119872119886119901119901(119905)

119878119886119901119901(1199050)minus 1)

25

With Tau being a time constant and Sapp(t0) being the yearly sales number at year t0 (eg 26

2015) 27

Short time constants Tau of few years were used to model ESS sales Due to limitations of 28

the existing electricity grid to only buffer a certain share of fluctuating PV and wind generated 29

electricity the further expansion of renewable electricity generation might be strongly coupled 30

to ESS installations Hence ESS sales were modelled to closely follow the assumed 31

installations of renewable power in the limit of ldquovery fastrdquo market diffusion (120591 rarr 0) 32

2613 Modelling of battery system capacities 33

Battery capacities EBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws In 34

particular BEV battery capacities increased in the last years from 30 kWh in 2013 to more than 35

40 kWh in 2018 (EU sales and production averages) In the long term we expect BEV 36

capacities to converge towards a value sufficient to provide average driving ranges of some 37

100 km Battery capacity growth rates are hence supposed to slow down 38

119864119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198640 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 1

With E0 being the average battery capacity in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years and 2

b an exponent lt 1 The parameters were chosen to fit existing data 3

2614 Modelling of battery replacement rates 4

Battery replacement rates RrBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws 5

The replacement rate defines the share of batteries installed in year t that had to be replaced 6

within the lifetime of a system (xEV ESS) In particular for vehicles it is assumed that xEV 7

manufacturers currently install battery cells with a high lifetime and cyclability (several 8

thousand cycles) In the mid-term we expect that battery life and vehicle life (eg 200000 to 9

300000 km) will be matched by car manufacturers Assuming a constant vehicle lifetime 10

battery replacement rates are supposed to increase over time 11

119877119903119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198770 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 12

With R0 being the average replacement rate in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years 13

and b an exponent lt 1 At present there is no data available to fit the parameters Parameters 14

were estimated based on the usage profile and load of different applications 15

2615 Modelling of system lifetimes (xEV ESS) 16

System lifetimes Ltsystem(t) were assumed to be constant Ltsystem(t)= Ltsystem Parameters were 17

estimated based on manufacturer statements and typical lifetimes for combustion powered 18

vehicles 19

2616 Calculation of battery replacements 20

Battery replacements RpBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 21

calculated by assuming a uniform distribution of battery replacements over the lifetime 22

24 Consumer expenditure base data 2

241 General objective of subtask 24 and approach 3

Subtask 24 gives an overview about average production costs and consumer prices incl 4

VAT (for consumer prices streetprice) excl VAT (for B2B products) as well as an estimation 5

of repair and maintenance as well as installation and disposal costs 6

Due to their recent larger scale market introduction there is still little experience with 7

maintenance as well as disposal expenses Hence only estimations can be made based on 8

isolated sources 9

242 Development of LIB cell costs 10

As the core of LIB based energy storage systems the battery cell exhibits the highest cost 11

share During the last years particularly standardized 18650 format LIB cells have 12

experienced a steep cost learning curve benefiting from production scale effects but also 13

from technological advancements on material level increasing the energy density per volume 14

and weight and decreasing the amount of cost intense Cobalt-based components Compared 15

to this benchmark larger format LIB cells (Pouch prismatic) as are utilized in xEVs and ESS 16

predominantly feature lower energy densities at higher cost per kWh There are however no 17

principal limitations which would prevent a performance and cost development similar to what 18

was observed for cylindrical cells Figure 39 shows the cost learning curves for cylindrical as 19

well as larger format LIB cells [33] Today average costs for cells suitable for automotive use 20

are below 150 eurokWh (cylindrical) and around 200 eurokWh (Pouchprismatic) In specific cases 21

prices around 100 eurokWh have been reported already [53] It should however be noted that 22

with the current market situation LIB prices being below costs are not unlikely to occur 23

Until 2025 production costs of the different cell formats are expected to approach and fall 24

below the mark of 100 eurokWh between 2020 and 2025 Taking further developments on 25

material level into account costs around 60-100 eurokWh seam feasible past 2025 26

Figure 39 Cost learning curves for large LIB cells (cylindrical and Pouchprismatic) [33] 3

Similar cost learning curves have been observed for other battery technologies (see Figure 4

40) In principal cost degression can be limited by demand (compare NiCd) or by reaching 5

material cost limits (compare Pb) Also the diffusion of battery technologies in new markets 6

or applications can lead to further technological improvements and justify higher production 7

costs (compare deviation of NiMH Pb) Following the available data for LIB cells approx 100 8

$kWh (~89 eurokWh) are reached at a cumulative yearly production of 1TWh This mark is 9

expected to be reached between 2020 and 2030 10

Beyond 2030 LIB production costs are however expected to start deviating from this curve 11

due to limiting raw material prices 12

2432 ESS 7

According to recent end-customer price data provided in [55] for 2018 typical consumer prices 8

for small scale (~10 kWh) stationary home storage systems are between 5000 and 15000 9

Euros leading to a relative price of 800 to 1200 eurokWh It is expected that these system prices 10

will benefit from the growing battery markets (also xEV) since similar LIB cell types can be 11

applied in both application areas With respect to inverters and other system related costs the 12

smaller market volume of home ESS indicates lower economy of scale effects as compared 13

to cells 14

244 Installation repair and maintenance costs 15

2441 xEV 16

So far no comprehensive information on repair and maintenance costs for the battery system 17

of xEVs are available Due to still rather accommodating service policies repair or 18

replacement of batteries is so far often covered by the manufacturer 19

2451 Second life and recycling considerations 6

Until today only pilot projects Strategy of automotive OEM regarding second life applications 7

is not known 8

Value of recycled materials can be estimated 9

Three main scenarios possible after end of 1st life (xEV) 10

1 Disposal of batteries (eg separation of liquid and solid components hazardous waste 11

disposal) 12

2 Recycling of batteries and direct regeneration and re-use of cathode materials (2a) or 13

recovery of metals (2b) 14

3 2nd life in ESS applications under limited load (low DOD cycling low power) 15

16

Scenario 1 will add another component to battery costs scenario 2 and 3 could significantly 17

decrease the cost of batteries if energy efficient recycling methods can be developed or viable 18

2nd life business models are established 19

26 Annex 1

2611 Modelling of addressable markets for electric applications 2

Vehicle markets (in units of registrations in the EU28 per year) and ESS markets (in units of 3

number of installed home PV systems or in units of overall renewable (PV wind) electricity 4

generation in the EU28 per year) were modelled by exponential functions 5

119872119905119886119901119901(119905) = 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 6

With Mtapp(t) being the total market volume of an application M0 the market size in 2015 and 7

120591 times 119871119899(2) the time t necessary to double the initial market volume M0 M0 and Tau were chosen 8

to fit existing market data 9

119872119886119901119901(119905) = 119888 times 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 10

With Mapp(t) being the addressable market and c a factor equal or smaller than 1 Parameter 11

c lt 1 was chosen to take into account that not the whole existing market Mtapp might be 12

addressable by electric technologies Eg a share of vehicles primarily used for long distance 13

travel might not be addressable by BEV but by PHEV only 14

The market addressable for passenger PHEV (as a transition technology on the path to full 15

electric vehicles) was modelled as the difference of total vehicle sales and BEV sales 16

119872119875119867119864119881(119905) = 119888 times 119872119905119901119886119904119904119890119899119892119890119903(119905) minus 119878119861119864119881(119905) 17

The market addressable for passenger BEV was modelled like Mapp(t) with c lt 1 18

2612 Modelling of sales numbers of xEV and ESS 19

Yearly sales numbers Sapp(t) for the different applications were modelled by logistic growth 20

functions Logistic functions can model diffusion of technologies into existing markets with a 21

given market volume M The market volume can be a moving target M = M(t) The relative 22

change of sales numbers Srsquoapp(t)Sapp(t) is proportional to the market volume not yet 23

developed by a technology Mapp(t) ndash Sapp(t) 24

119878119886119901119901(119905) = 119872119886119901119901(119905) times1

1 + 119864119909119901(minus119872119886119901119901(119905) times (119905 minus 1199050)120591)(119872119886119901119901(119905)

119878119886119901119901(1199050)minus 1)

25

With Tau being a time constant and Sapp(t0) being the yearly sales number at year t0 (eg 26

2015) 27

Short time constants Tau of few years were used to model ESS sales Due to limitations of 28

the existing electricity grid to only buffer a certain share of fluctuating PV and wind generated 29

electricity the further expansion of renewable electricity generation might be strongly coupled 30

to ESS installations Hence ESS sales were modelled to closely follow the assumed 31

installations of renewable power in the limit of ldquovery fastrdquo market diffusion (120591 rarr 0) 32

2613 Modelling of battery system capacities 33

Battery capacities EBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws In 34

particular BEV battery capacities increased in the last years from 30 kWh in 2013 to more than 35

40 kWh in 2018 (EU sales and production averages) In the long term we expect BEV 36

capacities to converge towards a value sufficient to provide average driving ranges of some 37

100 km Battery capacity growth rates are hence supposed to slow down 38

52

119864119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198640 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 1

With E0 being the average battery capacity in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years and 2

b an exponent lt 1 The parameters were chosen to fit existing data 3

2614 Modelling of battery replacement rates 4

Battery replacement rates RrBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws 5

The replacement rate defines the share of batteries installed in year t that had to be replaced 6

within the lifetime of a system (xEV ESS) In particular for vehicles it is assumed that xEV 7

manufacturers currently install battery cells with a high lifetime and cyclability (several 8

thousand cycles) In the mid-term we expect that battery life and vehicle life (eg 200000 to 9

300000 km) will be matched by car manufacturers Assuming a constant vehicle lifetime 10

battery replacement rates are supposed to increase over time 11

119877119903119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198770 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 12

With R0 being the average replacement rate in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years 13

and b an exponent lt 1 At present there is no data available to fit the parameters Parameters 14

were estimated based on the usage profile and load of different applications 15

2615 Modelling of system lifetimes (xEV ESS) 16

System lifetimes Ltsystem(t) were assumed to be constant Ltsystem(t)= Ltsystem Parameters were 17

estimated based on manufacturer statements and typical lifetimes for combustion powered 18

vehicles 19

2616 Calculation of battery replacements 20

Battery replacements RpBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 21

calculated by assuming a uniform distribution of battery replacements over the lifetime 22

Ltsystem(i) of battery systems installed in year i 23

119877119901119861119886119905119905(119905) = sum119877119903119861119886119905119905(119894) times 119878119886119901119901(119894) times 119864119861119886119905119905(119894)

2617 Calculation of battery decommissions 25

Figure 39 Cost learning curves for large LIB cells (cylindrical and Pouchprismatic) [33] 3

Similar cost learning curves have been observed for other battery technologies (see Figure 4

40) In principal cost degression can be limited by demand (compare NiCd) or by reaching 5

material cost limits (compare Pb) Also the diffusion of battery technologies in new markets 6

or applications can lead to further technological improvements and justify higher production 7

costs (compare deviation of NiMH Pb) Following the available data for LIB cells approx 100 8

$kWh (~89 eurokWh) are reached at a cumulative yearly production of 1TWh This mark is 9

expected to be reached between 2020 and 2030 10

Beyond 2030 LIB production costs are however expected to start deviating from this curve 11

due to limiting raw material prices 12

2432 ESS 7

According to recent end-customer price data provided in [55] for 2018 typical consumer prices 8

for small scale (~10 kWh) stationary home storage systems are between 5000 and 15000 9

Euros leading to a relative price of 800 to 1200 eurokWh It is expected that these system prices 10

will benefit from the growing battery markets (also xEV) since similar LIB cell types can be 11

applied in both application areas With respect to inverters and other system related costs the 12

smaller market volume of home ESS indicates lower economy of scale effects as compared 13

to cells 14

So far no comprehensive information on repair and maintenance costs for the battery system 17

of xEVs are available Due to still rather accommodating service policies repair or 18

Until today only pilot projects Strategy of automotive OEM regarding second life applications 7

is not known 8

Value of recycled materials can be estimated 9

Three main scenarios possible after end of 1st life (xEV) 10

1 Disposal of batteries (eg separation of liquid and solid components hazardous waste 11

disposal) 12

2 Recycling of batteries and direct regeneration and re-use of cathode materials (2a) or 13

recovery of metals (2b) 14

3 2nd life in ESS applications under limited load (low DOD cycling low power) 15

16

Scenario 1 will add another component to battery costs scenario 2 and 3 could significantly 17

decrease the cost of batteries if energy efficient recycling methods can be developed or viable 18

26 Annex 1

2611 Modelling of addressable markets for electric applications 2

Vehicle markets (in units of registrations in the EU28 per year) and ESS markets (in units of 3

number of installed home PV systems or in units of overall renewable (PV wind) electricity 4

generation in the EU28 per year) were modelled by exponential functions 5

119872119905119886119901119901(119905) = 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 6

With Mtapp(t) being the total market volume of an application M0 the market size in 2015 and 7

120591 times 119871119899(2) the time t necessary to double the initial market volume M0 M0 and Tau were chosen 8

to fit existing market data 9

119872119886119901119901(119905) = 119888 times 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 10

With Mapp(t) being the addressable market and c a factor equal or smaller than 1 Parameter 11

c lt 1 was chosen to take into account that not the whole existing market Mtapp might be 12

addressable by electric technologies Eg a share of vehicles primarily used for long distance 13

travel might not be addressable by BEV but by PHEV only 14

The market addressable for passenger PHEV (as a transition technology on the path to full 15

electric vehicles) was modelled as the difference of total vehicle sales and BEV sales 16

119872119875119867119864119881(119905) = 119888 times 119872119905119901119886119904119904119890119899119892119890119903(119905) minus 119878119861119864119881(119905) 17

The market addressable for passenger BEV was modelled like Mapp(t) with c lt 1 18

2612 Modelling of sales numbers of xEV and ESS 19

Yearly sales numbers Sapp(t) for the different applications were modelled by logistic growth 20

functions Logistic functions can model diffusion of technologies into existing markets with a 21

given market volume M The market volume can be a moving target M = M(t) The relative 22

change of sales numbers Srsquoapp(t)Sapp(t) is proportional to the market volume not yet 23

developed by a technology Mapp(t) ndash Sapp(t) 24

119878119886119901119901(119905) = 119872119886119901119901(119905) times1

1 + 119864119909119901(minus119872119886119901119901(119905) times (119905 minus 1199050)120591)(119872119886119901119901(119905)

119878119886119901119901(1199050)minus 1)

25

With Tau being a time constant and Sapp(t0) being the yearly sales number at year t0 (eg 26

2015) 27

Short time constants Tau of few years were used to model ESS sales Due to limitations of 28

the existing electricity grid to only buffer a certain share of fluctuating PV and wind generated 29

electricity the further expansion of renewable electricity generation might be strongly coupled 30

to ESS installations Hence ESS sales were modelled to closely follow the assumed 31

installations of renewable power in the limit of ldquovery fastrdquo market diffusion (120591 rarr 0) 32

2613 Modelling of battery system capacities 33

Battery capacities EBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws In 34

particular BEV battery capacities increased in the last years from 30 kWh in 2013 to more than 35

40 kWh in 2018 (EU sales and production averages) In the long term we expect BEV 36

capacities to converge towards a value sufficient to provide average driving ranges of some 37

100 km Battery capacity growth rates are hence supposed to slow down 38

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

52

119864119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198640 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 1

With E0 being the average battery capacity in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years and 2

b an exponent lt 1 The parameters were chosen to fit existing data 3

2614 Modelling of battery replacement rates 4

Battery replacement rates RrBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws 5

The replacement rate defines the share of batteries installed in year t that had to be replaced 6

within the lifetime of a system (xEV ESS) In particular for vehicles it is assumed that xEV 7

manufacturers currently install battery cells with a high lifetime and cyclability (several 8

thousand cycles) In the mid-term we expect that battery life and vehicle life (eg 200000 to 9

300000 km) will be matched by car manufacturers Assuming a constant vehicle lifetime 10

battery replacement rates are supposed to increase over time 11

119877119903119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198770 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 12

With R0 being the average replacement rate in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years 13

and b an exponent lt 1 At present there is no data available to fit the parameters Parameters 14

were estimated based on the usage profile and load of different applications 15

2615 Modelling of system lifetimes (xEV ESS) 16

System lifetimes Ltsystem(t) were assumed to be constant Ltsystem(t)= Ltsystem Parameters were 17

estimated based on manufacturer statements and typical lifetimes for combustion powered 18

vehicles 19

2616 Calculation of battery replacements 20

Battery replacements RpBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 21

calculated by assuming a uniform distribution of battery replacements over the lifetime 22

Ltsystem(i) of battery systems installed in year i 23

119877119901119861119886119905119905(119905) = sum119877119903119861119886119905119905(119894) times 119878119886119901119901(119894) times 119864119861119886119905119905(119894)

24

2617 Calculation of battery decommissions 25

Battery decommissions DcBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 26

assumed to happen coincident with the end of life of the systems (Ltsystem) they were installed 27

in in year i This neglects any second life usage in t gt i It was assumed that xEV or ESS 28

manufacturers will tune the battery lifetime to match the system lifetime (see 2614) 29

2618 Calculation of yearly installed battery capacity 31

The yearly installed battery capacity Sbapp(t) in the EU28 was calculated as 32

119878119887119886119901119901(119905) = 119878119886119901119901(119905) times 119864119886119901119901119861119886119905119905(119905) + 119877119901119886119901119901

2432 ESS 7

According to recent end-customer price data provided in [55] for 2018 typical consumer prices 8

for small scale (~10 kWh) stationary home storage systems are between 5000 and 15000 9

Euros leading to a relative price of 800 to 1200 eurokWh It is expected that these system prices 10

will benefit from the growing battery markets (also xEV) since similar LIB cell types can be 11

applied in both application areas With respect to inverters and other system related costs the 12

smaller market volume of home ESS indicates lower economy of scale effects as compared 13

to cells 14

244 Installation repair and maintenance costs 15

2441 xEV 16

So far no comprehensive information on repair and maintenance costs for the battery system 17

of xEVs are available Due to still rather accommodating service policies repair or 18

replacement of batteries is so far often covered by the manufacturer 19

Value of recycled materials can be estimated 9

Three main scenarios possible after end of 1st life (xEV) 10

1 Disposal of batteries (eg separation of liquid and solid components hazardous waste 11

disposal) 12

2 Recycling of batteries and direct regeneration and re-use of cathode materials (2a) or 13

recovery of metals (2b) 14

3 2nd life in ESS applications under limited load (low DOD cycling low power) 15

16

Scenario 1 will add another component to battery costs scenario 2 and 3 could significantly 17

decrease the cost of batteries if energy efficient recycling methods can be developed or viable 18

2nd life business models are established 19

26 Annex 1

2611 Modelling of addressable markets for electric applications 2

Vehicle markets (in units of registrations in the EU28 per year) and ESS markets (in units of 3

number of installed home PV systems or in units of overall renewable (PV wind) electricity 4

generation in the EU28 per year) were modelled by exponential functions 5

119872119905119886119901119901(119905) = 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 6

With Mtapp(t) being the total market volume of an application M0 the market size in 2015 and 7

120591 times 119871119899(2) the time t necessary to double the initial market volume M0 M0 and Tau were chosen 8

to fit existing market data 9

119872119886119901119901(119905) = 119888 times 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 10

With Mapp(t) being the addressable market and c a factor equal or smaller than 1 Parameter 11

c lt 1 was chosen to take into account that not the whole existing market Mtapp might be 12

addressable by electric technologies Eg a share of vehicles primarily used for long distance 13

travel might not be addressable by BEV but by PHEV only 14

The market addressable for passenger PHEV (as a transition technology on the path to full 15

electric vehicles) was modelled as the difference of total vehicle sales and BEV sales 16

119872119875119867119864119881(119905) = 119888 times 119872119905119901119886119904119904119890119899119892119890119903(119905) minus 119878119861119864119881(119905) 17

The market addressable for passenger BEV was modelled like Mapp(t) with c lt 1 18

2612 Modelling of sales numbers of xEV and ESS 19

Yearly sales numbers Sapp(t) for the different applications were modelled by logistic growth 20

functions Logistic functions can model diffusion of technologies into existing markets with a 21

given market volume M The market volume can be a moving target M = M(t) The relative 22

change of sales numbers Srsquoapp(t)Sapp(t) is proportional to the market volume not yet 23

developed by a technology Mapp(t) ndash Sapp(t) 24

119878119886119901119901(119905) = 119872119886119901119901(119905) times1

1 + 119864119909119901(minus119872119886119901119901(119905) times (119905 minus 1199050)120591)(119872119886119901119901(119905)

119878119886119901119901(1199050)minus 1)

25

With Tau being a time constant and Sapp(t0) being the yearly sales number at year t0 (eg 26

2015) 27

Short time constants Tau of few years were used to model ESS sales Due to limitations of 28

the existing electricity grid to only buffer a certain share of fluctuating PV and wind generated 29

electricity the further expansion of renewable electricity generation might be strongly coupled 30

to ESS installations Hence ESS sales were modelled to closely follow the assumed 31

installations of renewable power in the limit of ldquovery fastrdquo market diffusion (120591 rarr 0) 32

2613 Modelling of battery system capacities 33

Battery capacities EBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws In 34

particular BEV battery capacities increased in the last years from 30 kWh in 2013 to more than 35

40 kWh in 2018 (EU sales and production averages) In the long term we expect BEV 36

capacities to converge towards a value sufficient to provide average driving ranges of some 37

100 km Battery capacity growth rates are hence supposed to slow down 38

52

119864119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198640 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 1

With E0 being the average battery capacity in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years and 2

b an exponent lt 1 The parameters were chosen to fit existing data 3

2614 Modelling of battery replacement rates 4

Battery replacement rates RrBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws 5

The replacement rate defines the share of batteries installed in year t that had to be replaced 6

within the lifetime of a system (xEV ESS) In particular for vehicles it is assumed that xEV 7

manufacturers currently install battery cells with a high lifetime and cyclability (several 8

thousand cycles) In the mid-term we expect that battery life and vehicle life (eg 200000 to 9

300000 km) will be matched by car manufacturers Assuming a constant vehicle lifetime 10

battery replacement rates are supposed to increase over time 11

119877119903119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198770 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 12

With R0 being the average replacement rate in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years 13

and b an exponent lt 1 At present there is no data available to fit the parameters Parameters 14

were estimated based on the usage profile and load of different applications 15

2615 Modelling of system lifetimes (xEV ESS) 16

System lifetimes Ltsystem(t) were assumed to be constant Ltsystem(t)= Ltsystem Parameters were 17

estimated based on manufacturer statements and typical lifetimes for combustion powered 18

vehicles 19

2616 Calculation of battery replacements 20

Battery replacements RpBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 21

calculated by assuming a uniform distribution of battery replacements over the lifetime 22

Ltsystem(i) of battery systems installed in year i 23

119877119901119861119886119905119905(119905) = sum119877119903119861119886119905119905(119894) times 119878119886119901119901(119894) times 119864119861119886119905119905(119894)

24

2617 Calculation of battery decommissions 25

Battery decommissions DcBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 26

assumed to happen coincident with the end of life of the systems (Ltsystem) they were installed 27

in in year i This neglects any second life usage in t gt i It was assumed that xEV or ESS 28

manufacturers will tune the battery lifetime to match the system lifetime (see 2614) 29

2618 Calculation of yearly installed battery capacity 31

The yearly installed battery capacity Sbapp(t) in the EU28 was calculated as 32

119878119887119886119901119901(119905) = 119878119886119901119901(119905) times 119864119886119901119901119861119886119905119905(119905) + 119877119901119886119901119901

2451 Second life and recycling considerations 6

Until today only pilot projects Strategy of automotive OEM regarding second life applications 7

is not known 8

Value of recycled materials can be estimated 9

Three main scenarios possible after end of 1st life (xEV) 10

1 Disposal of batteries (eg separation of liquid and solid components hazardous waste 11

disposal) 12

2 Recycling of batteries and direct regeneration and re-use of cathode materials (2a) or 13

recovery of metals (2b) 14

3 2nd life in ESS applications under limited load (low DOD cycling low power) 15

16

Scenario 1 will add another component to battery costs scenario 2 and 3 could significantly 17

decrease the cost of batteries if energy efficient recycling methods can be developed or viable 18

2nd life business models are established 19

26 Annex 1

2611 Modelling of addressable markets for electric applications 2

Vehicle markets (in units of registrations in the EU28 per year) and ESS markets (in units of 3

number of installed home PV systems or in units of overall renewable (PV wind) electricity 4

generation in the EU28 per year) were modelled by exponential functions 5

119872119905119886119901119901(119905) = 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 6

With Mtapp(t) being the total market volume of an application M0 the market size in 2015 and 7

120591 times 119871119899(2) the time t necessary to double the initial market volume M0 M0 and Tau were chosen 8

to fit existing market data 9

119872119886119901119901(119905) = 119888 times 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 10

With Mapp(t) being the addressable market and c a factor equal or smaller than 1 Parameter 11

c lt 1 was chosen to take into account that not the whole existing market Mtapp might be 12

addressable by electric technologies Eg a share of vehicles primarily used for long distance 13

travel might not be addressable by BEV but by PHEV only 14

The market addressable for passenger PHEV (as a transition technology on the path to full 15

electric vehicles) was modelled as the difference of total vehicle sales and BEV sales 16

119872119875119867119864119881(119905) = 119888 times 119872119905119901119886119904119904119890119899119892119890119903(119905) minus 119878119861119864119881(119905) 17

The market addressable for passenger BEV was modelled like Mapp(t) with c lt 1 18

2612 Modelling of sales numbers of xEV and ESS 19

Yearly sales numbers Sapp(t) for the different applications were modelled by logistic growth 20

functions Logistic functions can model diffusion of technologies into existing markets with a 21

given market volume M The market volume can be a moving target M = M(t) The relative 22

change of sales numbers Srsquoapp(t)Sapp(t) is proportional to the market volume not yet 23

developed by a technology Mapp(t) ndash Sapp(t) 24

119878119886119901119901(119905) = 119872119886119901119901(119905) times1

1 + 119864119909119901(minus119872119886119901119901(119905) times (119905 minus 1199050)120591)(119872119886119901119901(119905)

119878119886119901119901(1199050)minus 1)

25

With Tau being a time constant and Sapp(t0) being the yearly sales number at year t0 (eg 26

2015) 27

Short time constants Tau of few years were used to model ESS sales Due to limitations of 28

the existing electricity grid to only buffer a certain share of fluctuating PV and wind generated 29

electricity the further expansion of renewable electricity generation might be strongly coupled 30

to ESS installations Hence ESS sales were modelled to closely follow the assumed 31

installations of renewable power in the limit of ldquovery fastrdquo market diffusion (120591 rarr 0) 32

2613 Modelling of battery system capacities 33

Battery capacities EBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws In 34

particular BEV battery capacities increased in the last years from 30 kWh in 2013 to more than 35

40 kWh in 2018 (EU sales and production averages) In the long term we expect BEV 36

capacities to converge towards a value sufficient to provide average driving ranges of some 37

100 km Battery capacity growth rates are hence supposed to slow down 38

119864119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198640 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 1

With E0 being the average battery capacity in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years and 2

b an exponent lt 1 The parameters were chosen to fit existing data 3

2614 Modelling of battery replacement rates 4

Battery replacement rates RrBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws 5

The replacement rate defines the share of batteries installed in year t that had to be replaced 6

within the lifetime of a system (xEV ESS) In particular for vehicles it is assumed that xEV 7

manufacturers currently install battery cells with a high lifetime and cyclability (several 8

thousand cycles) In the mid-term we expect that battery life and vehicle life (eg 200000 to 9

300000 km) will be matched by car manufacturers Assuming a constant vehicle lifetime 10

battery replacement rates are supposed to increase over time 11

119877119903119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198770 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 12

With R0 being the average replacement rate in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years 13

and b an exponent lt 1 At present there is no data available to fit the parameters Parameters 14

were estimated based on the usage profile and load of different applications 15

2615 Modelling of system lifetimes (xEV ESS) 16

System lifetimes Ltsystem(t) were assumed to be constant Ltsystem(t)= Ltsystem Parameters were 17

estimated based on manufacturer statements and typical lifetimes for combustion powered 18

vehicles 19

2616 Calculation of battery replacements 20

Battery replacements RpBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 21

calculated by assuming a uniform distribution of battery replacements over the lifetime 22

Ltsystem(i) of battery systems installed in year i 23

119877119901119861119886119905119905(119905) = sum119877119903119861119886119905119905(119894) times 119878119886119901119901(119894) times 119864119861119886119905119905(119894)

24

2617 Calculation of battery decommissions 25

Battery decommissions DcBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 26

assumed to happen coincident with the end of life of the systems (Ltsystem) they were installed 27

in in year i This neglects any second life usage in t gt i It was assumed that xEV or ESS 28

manufacturers will tune the battery lifetime to match the system lifetime (see 2614) 29

2618 Calculation of yearly installed battery capacity 31

The yearly installed battery capacity Sbapp(t) in the EU28 was calculated as 32

119878119887119886119901119901(119905) = 119878119886119901119901(119905) times 119864119886119901119901119861119886119905119905(119905) + 119877119901119886119901119901

26 Annex 1

2611 Modelling of addressable markets for electric applications 2

Vehicle markets (in units of registrations in the EU28 per year) and ESS markets (in units of 3

number of installed home PV systems or in units of overall renewable (PV wind) electricity 4

generation in the EU28 per year) were modelled by exponential functions 5

119872119905119886119901119901(119905) = 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 6

With Mtapp(t) being the total market volume of an application M0 the market size in 2015 and 7

120591 times 119871119899(2) the time t necessary to double the initial market volume M0 M0 and Tau were chosen 8

to fit existing market data 9

119872119886119901119901(119905) = 119888 times 1198720 times 119864119909119901(119905120591) 10

With Mapp(t) being the addressable market and c a factor equal or smaller than 1 Parameter 11

c lt 1 was chosen to take into account that not the whole existing market Mtapp might be 12

addressable by electric technologies Eg a share of vehicles primarily used for long distance 13

travel might not be addressable by BEV but by PHEV only 14

The market addressable for passenger PHEV (as a transition technology on the path to full 15

electric vehicles) was modelled as the difference of total vehicle sales and BEV sales 16

119872119875119867119864119881(119905) = 119888 times 119872119905119901119886119904119904119890119899119892119890119903(119905) minus 119878119861119864119881(119905) 17

The market addressable for passenger BEV was modelled like Mapp(t) with c lt 1 18

2612 Modelling of sales numbers of xEV and ESS 19

Yearly sales numbers Sapp(t) for the different applications were modelled by logistic growth 20

functions Logistic functions can model diffusion of technologies into existing markets with a 21

given market volume M The market volume can be a moving target M = M(t) The relative 22

change of sales numbers Srsquoapp(t)Sapp(t) is proportional to the market volume not yet 23

developed by a technology Mapp(t) ndash Sapp(t) 24

119878119886119901119901(119905) = 119872119886119901119901(119905) times1

1 + 119864119909119901(minus119872119886119901119901(119905) times (119905 minus 1199050)120591)(119872119886119901119901(119905)

119878119886119901119901(1199050)minus 1)

25

With Tau being a time constant and Sapp(t0) being the yearly sales number at year t0 (eg 26

2015) 27

Short time constants Tau of few years were used to model ESS sales Due to limitations of 28

the existing electricity grid to only buffer a certain share of fluctuating PV and wind generated 29

electricity the further expansion of renewable electricity generation might be strongly coupled 30

to ESS installations Hence ESS sales were modelled to closely follow the assumed 31

installations of renewable power in the limit of ldquovery fastrdquo market diffusion (120591 rarr 0) 32

2613 Modelling of battery system capacities 33

Battery capacities EBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws In 34

particular BEV battery capacities increased in the last years from 30 kWh in 2013 to more than 35

40 kWh in 2018 (EU sales and production averages) In the long term we expect BEV 36

capacities to converge towards a value sufficient to provide average driving ranges of some 37

100 km Battery capacity growth rates are hence supposed to slow down 38

119864119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198640 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 1

With E0 being the average battery capacity in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years and 2

b an exponent lt 1 The parameters were chosen to fit existing data 3

2614 Modelling of battery replacement rates 4

Battery replacement rates RrBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws 5

The replacement rate defines the share of batteries installed in year t that had to be replaced 6

within the lifetime of a system (xEV ESS) In particular for vehicles it is assumed that xEV 7

manufacturers currently install battery cells with a high lifetime and cyclability (several 8

thousand cycles) In the mid-term we expect that battery life and vehicle life (eg 200000 to 9

300000 km) will be matched by car manufacturers Assuming a constant vehicle lifetime 10

battery replacement rates are supposed to increase over time 11

119877119903119861119886119905119905(119905) = 1198770 + 119896 times (119905 minus 1199050)119887 12

With R0 being the average replacement rate in year t0 k the growth rate t the time in years 13

and b an exponent lt 1 At present there is no data available to fit the parameters Parameters 14

were estimated based on the usage profile and load of different applications 15

2615 Modelling of system lifetimes (xEV ESS) 16

System lifetimes Ltsystem(t) were assumed to be constant Ltsystem(t)= Ltsystem Parameters were 17

estimated based on manufacturer statements and typical lifetimes for combustion powered 18

vehicles 19

2616 Calculation of battery replacements 20

Battery replacements RpBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 21

calculated by assuming a uniform distribution of battery replacements over the lifetime 22

Ltsystem(i) of battery systems installed in year i 23

119877119901119861119886119905119905(119905) = sum119877119903119861119886119905119905(119894) times 119878119886119901119901(119894) times 119864119861119886119905119905(119894)

2617 Calculation of battery decommissions 25

Battery decommissions DcBatt(t) (either in units of GWh or units of number of systems) were 26

assumed to happen coincident with the end of life of the systems (Ltsystem) they were installed 27

in in year i This neglects any second life usage in t gt i It was assumed that xEV or ESS 28

manufacturers will tune the battery lifetime to match the system lifetime (see 2614) 29

2618 Calculation of yearly installed battery capacity 31

The yearly installed battery capacity Sbapp(t) in the EU28 was calculated as 32

119878119887119886119901119901(119905) = 119878119886119901119901(119905) times 119864119886119901119901119861119886119905119905(119905) + 119877119901119886119901119901

2614 Modelling of battery replacement rates 4

Battery replacement rates RrBatt(t) of the different applications were modelled by power laws 5

The replacement rate defines the share of batteries installed in year t that had to be replaced 6

within the lifetime of a system (xEV ESS) In particular for vehicles it is assumed that xEV 7

manufacturers currently install battery cells with a high lifetime and cyclability (several 8

thousand cycles) In the mid-term we expect that battery life and vehicle life (eg 200000 to 9

300000 km) will be matched by car manufacturers Assuming a constant vehicle lifetime 10

battery replacement rates are supposed to increase over time 11
