As part of President Biden’s Investing in America agenda, the US DOE today announced $62 million for 17 projects funded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to increase consumer participation in consumer electronics battery recycling and improve the economics of battery recycling.
RMI’s new Battery Circular Economy Initiative Dashboard can help EV battery stakeholders make data-driven planning and investment decisions. As demand for electric vehicles (EVs) grows, so does demand for the batteries that power them. Many are concerned that today’s EV battery (EVB) supply chain will be unable to meet this … [continued]
Lithium carbonate regenerated from recycled battery waste using a patented process developed by RecycLiCo has successfully been qualified by C4V’s Phase 1 Supply Chain Qualification program through testing in battery cells. In other words: C4V has confirmed that recycled lithium’s quality rivals that of “virgin” lithium. “As demand for lithium … [continued]
Coming Soon to a Grid Near You: Clean Energy (Batteries Not Included) Maybe you toss your spent batteries into a jar on your kitchen counter. Or maybe it is a corner of a junk drawer that slowly accumulates AA and D cells after your TV remotes, smoke alarms, and clocks … [continued]

There have also been 27 Federal investment announcements. The map below shows locations of new announcements of minerals extraction and processing, battery component manufacturing, battery cell manufacturing, … [continued]
We’re two years into the Volvo VNR Electric leading the way in zero emissions trucking, with the company on track to put 300,000 such trucks into operation in the coming years. It’s safe to say, then, that electric semi trucks aren’t coming soon. They’re already here, and the scope of … [continued]
Stellantis, the company formerly-known as Fiat-Chrysler before a key merger and the manufacturer of iconic vehicles like the Jeep brand and Dodge’s muscle cars, recently announced a plan and a partnership to make sure more EVs get batteries recycled at end-of-life. In this article, I’m going to explain why this … [continued]
Electric vehicle (EV) battery recycling is crucial to a sustainable, electrified transportation system. A substantial portion of key minerals for electrifying could come from recycled batteries by 2050, dramatically reducing the need for new mining. But how those batteries are recycled can make a big difference—we must use recycling processes with high … [continued]
