Abstract:With development of new energy automobile industry in China, demand for mineral resources is expanding rapidly, which will exert profound impact on supply and demand of key resources. Based on relevant industry plans of China, production of new energy automobiles and installed capacity of lithium power batteries in China during the "14th Five-Year Plan" was predicted. Demand of lithium, cobalt, nickel and other key mineral resources was calculated and guarantee degree of power battery recycling to the demands of industry key resources was analyzed based on identification of key industrial materials. The results show that demands for lithium, cobalt, and nickel estimated to be 129 kt, 708 kt and 151 kt during the 14th five-year period. Besides, through recycling of lithium power battery and resource regeneration, 31 kt of lithium, 120 kt of nickel and 48 kt of cobalt can be produced, accounting for 24.0%, 16.8% and 31.2% respectively in domestic demand for lithium power battery resources during the same period.
