China dominates the li-ion battery supply chain as RMP has written about before. The IEA consistently publishes information about lithium-ion batteries telling us the entire supply chain runs through China in a major way and the USA is decades behind China in terms of mining, raw material processing, and electrode manufacturing.
As part of ongoing efforts to map the battery landscape, NAATBatt International and NREL established the Lithium-Ion Battery Supply Chain Database to identify every company in North America involved in building lithium-ion batteries, from mining to manufacturing to recycling and everything in between.
RMP will remain grounded in the reality the lithium-ion battery supply chain is dominated by China as far out as we can see. Until we are making our own batteries in the USA with North American raw materials & refined materials & recycled materials, the lithium-ion battery supply chain is not really green or sustainable.

As long as the lithium-ion battery supply chain is dominated by China, fossil fuels play a critical role in the production and distribution of lithium-ion batteries. We are not holding other countries to the same standard that we hold ourselves to and that is bullshit for climate change zealots to ignore.
