EV metals will come from dead batteries at new US plant
A new US plant will soon offer a solution for tight supplies of critical metals: Pull them out of dead batteries in a process that produces fewer emissions than competitors.
Recycling startup Nth Cycle is opening its first full-scale plant in Fairfield, Ohio, to produce a mix of nickel and cobalt — key ingredients of the lithium-ion batteries that power smart phones and electric vehicles. The company will hold a “sneak peak” of the plant for members of the community Monday, with full commissioning planned this fall, said Chief Executive Officer Megan O’Connor. The company hasn’t disclosed a precise cost for the plant, but says it’s investing $25 million to $30 million in the facility.
It’s part of a wave of plants under construction across the US to bolster the supply chain for batteries, a critical component of the global energy transition. The vital technology is now mostly made in China, but the Biden administration’s sweeping climate legislation has driven federal dollars toward boosting US output.
