Energy storage emerged as a defining driver of lithium demand in 2026, with the rapid expansion of battery energy stationary storage (BESS) creating new requirements for supply.
As global datacentre buildout adds another source of demand, understanding shifting lithium supply requirements for the next phase of energy storage growth is essential for future planning.
Join Benchmark's end-of-year webinar to hear in-depth analysis of BESS lithium requirements, the outlook for emerging energy storage markets, and the impact of lithium prices on BESS and alternative technology uptake.
This session will cover:
How much lithium the storage boom will require, including how many new mines BESS demand alone could support and the additional demand from datacentre expansion.
How the supply landscape changed in 2026, including new material entering the market and shifts in the lithium cost curve.
What price is needed to incentivise the next wave of supply, and where lithium inventory levels stand heading into 2027.
