  21. Estimation of Lithium Carbonate Demand 2020

  22. Estimation of Lithium Carbonate Demand 2020 Assumptions for the degree of penetration of E-cars in the market • 60 million cars are registered as new cars world wide p.a. • Lithium Carbonate consumption per 1 kw/h is 0.6 kg • Industry expects the e-car share to reach approx. 1 - 10% in 2020

  23. Estimation of Lithium Carbonate Demand 2020 All figures are in tons Lithium Carbonate Equivalents (LCE) Car specific facts • Car types: (B)EV PHEV HEV/Mild • Battery capacity: 25 kWh 12 kWh ~2 kWh • LCE demand: 15 kg 7.2 kg 1.2 kg • Price per battery: ~$700/kWh • LCE cost share at $8/kg Li2CO3: less than 1%

Estimation of Lithium Carbonate Demand 2020 Li demand in LCE, for 10%, 6,000,000 cars EV PHEV HEV/Mild • LCE cont./battery 15 kg 7.2 kg 1.2 kg • # cars from share • Scenario A 3,600,000 600,000 1,800,000 • Scenario B 1,200,000 1,200,000 3,600,000 • Total LCE • Scenario A 54,000 t 4,320 t 2,160 t • Scenario B 18,000 t 8,460 t 4,320 t • Demand • Scenario A total: 60,480 t • Scenario B total: 30,960 t

  26. Estimation of Lithium Carbonate Demand 2020 Scenario A for 10% penetration • 60,480 t automotive demand • 50,000 t others (including a net growth of 2% until 2020) • 35,000 t others LIB • 145,480 t total lithium carbonate Scenario B for 10% penetration • 30,960 t automotive demand • 50,000 t others (including a net growth of 2% until 2020) • 35,000 t others LIB • 115,960 t total lithium carbonate In both scenarios the demand could be covered by the Salar de Atacama resources.

  27. Estimation of Lithium Carbonate Demand 2020 Scenario A for 1,6% penetration • 10,080 t Automotive demand • 50,000 t others (including a net growth of 2% until 2020) • 35,000 t others LIB • 95,080 t total lithium carbonate Scenario B for 1,6% penetration • 5,160 t Automotive demand • 50,000 t others (including a net growth of 2% until 2020) • 35,000 t others LIB • 90,160 t total lithium carbonate In both scenarios the demand could be covered by the Salar de Atacama resources.

  28. Estimation of Lithium Carbonate Demand 2020 Sustainability of world wide resources • Worldwide available resources: 150 million MT LCE • For • Scenario A (10% penetration): reserves will last for 1030 years • Scenario B (10% penetration): reserves will last for 1293 years • Salar de Atacama resources: 31,5 million MT LCE • For • Scenario A (10% penetration): reserves will last for 216 years • Scenario B (10% penetration): reserves will last for 271 years

  29. Estimation of Lithium Carbonate Demand 2020 Future Recycling Potential • Due to an estimated life time of 10 years for a typical car battery effects from recycling will start after that period. • At an expected recycling rate of 50% of the incorporated Lithium (75 - 80 % from chemical pulping plus some extra losses from battery disassembling). • After 2030 we expect an increasing share from recycling.

  30. Chemetall as the leading producer of lithium compounds is committed to expand capacities and to develop tailor-made products in order to satisfy its customer‘s demands.
