Companies will also have to prove that for industrial batteries, except those with exclusively external storage, electric vehicle batteries and SLI batteries that contain cobalt, lead, lithium or nickel in active materials are manufactured using a certain amount of recovered materials, for each battery model per year and per manufacturing plant, by August 2031, it
This will be impossible to achieve without battery cell producers being able to source key components, especially cathodes (and potentially anodes) in the UK or EU. Currently, while there is some cathode production in Europe (e.g. by Umicore), there is not enough capacity to supply all the cells which are due to be made by 2027; there is a lot
35 post-processing plants, primarily in the UK, France, and Germany. However, these plants lack sufficient capacity to meet long- term demand for black mass. By 202Growth has been slow due to the need for advanced technical expertise and competition from Asia. • Europe''s post-processing capacity is projected to reach 100 KTpa
