Kazakhstan
Kazakhstan is taking a significant step toward sustainable energy management by constructing a lithium-ion battery recycling plant in its capital, Astana. This initiative aims to address the
Lithium-ion batteries power various technologies, from smartphones to electric vehicles and grid storage. China dominates the global lithium battery supply chain, producing over 75% of the world's lithium-ion battery cells. The U.S. imports nearly 70% of its lithium batteries from China, making tariffs on these products highly impactful.
The U.S. imports nearly 70% of its lithium batteries from China, making tariffs on these products highly impactful. The U.S. aims to build a resilient domestic battery industry to support its clean energy goals. Still, the current supply chain relies heavily on Chinese raw materials, components, and finished products. Part 3.
U.S. tariffs on Chinese lithium batteries have become a critical factor shaping the global battery market in 2025. These tariffs directly impact lithium-ion batteries' cost, supply chain, and competitiveness, essential for electric vehicles (EVs), renewable energy storage, and consumer electronics.
Rising tariffs and supply chain risks have accelerated interest in alternative battery technologies, including: Lithium-sulfur batteries promise higher energy density and lower costs. Solid-state batteries offer improved safety and longevity. Sodium-ion batteries, which use more abundant materials.
