It aims to strengthen the domestic production base of liquid-electrolyte lithium batteries, increase production capacity, and secure the domestic and global market for lithium-ion batteries so that Japanese companies do not further lose the market competition before solid-state batteries are commercialised.
For that reason, only small warehouses can be set up in Japan for electrolyte and products containing it, making it difficult to establish a supply chain for lithium-ion batteries, experts said.
But Japan has few domestic resources and currently relies almost entirely on imports of critical metals to produce batteries. Battery materials include lithium, cobalt and nickel. Japan could face challenges in securing sufficient battery metals in an increasingly competitive international market, as supply sources are already limited.
Recycling battery materials has increasingly become a trend among advanced economies. But Japan has few domestic resources and currently relies almost entirely on imports of critical metals to produce batteries. Battery materials include lithium, cobalt and nickel.
As an early technology leader, Japan began funding lithium-ion batteries, especially the development of solid-state batteries and certain types of alternative batteries. Total battery funding by NEDO between 2009–2022 (for Solid-EV and RISING 1, 2 and 3 projects) is estimated by ca. 58 billion yen.
