塩水由来の電池級炭酸リチウム24プロジェクトについて、将来の技術最適化と経済全体の脱炭素化を織り込み、ライフサイクル気候影響と水不足影響を評価した。2035年までに個別プロジェクトの気候影響は26〜89%削減可能だが、供給ミックス全体の強度低減には生産能力計画の成否が鍵となる。電化加熱への移行とDLE普及は水不足影響を悪化させ得るため、早期緩和とサプライチェーン全体の水管理が不可欠と結論づける。
English
This study assesses life-cycle climate and water-scarcity impacts for 24 operating and announced brine-based Li2CO3 projects, incorporating future technology optimization and economy-wide decarbonization. Individual project climate impacts could fall 26–89% by 2035, but supply-mix intensity depends on planned capacity success. Electrified heating and direct lithium extraction may worsen water scarcity, requiring early mitigation and supply-chain-wide water management.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
EV・蓄電池サプライチェーンのScope 3排出と水リスクは、SSBJ・有報でのサステナビリティ開示や自動車・電機メーカーの調達基準に直結する。日本企業が海外リチウム調達先を選定・開示する際の定量根拠として有用。
In the global GX context
As ISSB/CSRD push Scope 3 and water-risk disclosure into battery supply chains, this paper offers project-level LCA evidence for automakers and battery producers setting supplier mandates and transition plans. It also informs CBAM-style carbon-intensity benchmarking for critical minerals.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Abstract The rapid expansion of battery-grade lithium carbonate (Li2CO3) production from brines raises increasing concerns about future environmental impacts, which must be assessed in alignment with project commissioning timelines. Here, we assess the life cycle climate change and water scarcity impacts for 24 operating and announced brine-based Li2CO3 projects, accounting for future technology optimization and economy-wide decarbonization across the energy and chemical reagent sectors. These developments could reduce climate change impacts of individual projects by 26–89% by 2035. Substantial project-level mitigation does not necessarily translate into lower impact intensity in the Li2CO3 supply mix of these projects, which depends on the success of planned production capacity. Technology optimization and economy-wide decarbonization can only offset the higher impacts from announced projects, while achieving meaningful cuts requires a transition to electrified heating. This shift, combined with more resource-intensive direct lithium extraction (DLE) technologies, may exacerbate water scarcity impacts beyond production sites. Building a sustainable lithium supply chain demands early mitigation to counterbalance higher impacts of upcoming projects, heat decarbonization as an immediate rather than long-term goal, accelerated decarbonization of soda ash and lime industries, and a supply chain-wide approach to water management.
