This thesis incorporates an assessment of the worldwide Lithium consumption and supply until the year 2050. Based on the consumption of the main Li?applications in the year 2008 and their respective forecasted growth rates a model has been developed to evaluate the future Lithium demand. The developments in the demand of the vehicle?battery?market have been contemplated separately. Furthermore the amount of recycled secondary Lithium was determined using specific collection and recycling quotas. For this reason the state of the art and the current legislation in Lithium?battery?recycling was illustrated beforehand. Under the assumption of the application of recycled secondary Lithium approx. 51 % of the worldwide Lithium?reserves will be consumed in the moderate Pluralismus?scenario. At this the secondary material covers nearly 25 % of the total Li?demand. In the second scenario, which contains the dominance of the electric powered vehicles, the Lithium?reserves will already be exhausted in the year 2049 even if secondary material is used to reach the high Li?demand. As the deployment of recycled secondary Lithium stretches out the range of the geological reserves, recycling plays an important role irrespective of the chosen scenario.
