Meeting 2021 TMS Annual Meeting & Exhibition
Symposium Recycling and Sustainability for Emerging Technologies and Strategic Materials
Presentation Title Copper Supply for Electric Vehicles and Impacts on the Recycling Sector

On-Site Speaker (Planned) Ayomipo Arowosola
Abstract Scope The transition from internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles to electric vehicles (EV) is currently accelerating. The market for EVs is uncertain due to inter-related environmental, social, and economic parameters that drive adoption and market demand. EVs and ICEs differ greatly in the materials that are required to manufacture them. Here, we have focused on the increasing demand for copper, a strategic material for EVs. Data mining and material characterization were performed in order to develop a forecasting model. Our results show that in the short term (to 2030), available primary and secondary supply should keep pace with increasing copper demand due to EV adoption. However, in the long-term, an increase in supply will be required, likely from secondary materials. The high diversity of metal alloys introduced by increased EV adoption creates unique challenges for the recycling sector, however. Technology (e.g. sorting, smelting) or policy interventions (e.g. mandates) are likely required.
