McKinsey says EV battery recycling will be a $70 billion annual business by the end of the next decade. Here's why.

The minerals found in an electric-car battery often travel thousands of miles around the world before the vehicles they will be in hit the road. Lithium mined in Chile or Argentina is shipped to China ...

Scientists in Germany have paved the way for more sustainable, cost-effective and circular battery production by developing new method to recycle dry-processing lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery cathodes.

Lightweight, powerful lithium-ion batteries are crucial for the transition to electric vehicles, and global demand for lithium is set to grow rapidly over the next 25 years. A new analysis from the ...

Laid out left to right to illustrate notable steps in the process of lithium battery recycling are: a pair of lithium iron phosphate batteries; a container of black mass powder obtained from shredding ...

When electric vehicle (EV) batteries reach the end of their service life, they can be recycled to recover valuable raw materials for the production of new batteries. Alternatively, retired EV ...

A company is repurposing the batteries to store electricity and sell it to the grid when power from wind and solar dwindles.

In the automotive sector, Scope 3 emissions make up 99% of total value chain emissions. The majority of these Scope 3 emissions occur upstream through the extraction of raw materials and the ...

EV battery recycling is no longer optional -- it's becoming a profit center in the EV supply chain. Near-term winners will be those who (a) secure long-term feedstock agreements with OEMs, (b) invest ...
