How Battery Recycling Powers the U.S. Energy Transition
Battery recycling is a linchpin of the U.S. energy transition, securing critical materials, boosting economic growth, and enhancing national security. With electric vehicle (EV) battery demand expected to reach 3.6 TWh by 2030, recycling lithium-ion batteries is...
From Waste to Wealth: The Economic Case for Black Mass Recycling
Black mass recycling is revolutionizing the U.S. battery industry by turning battery waste into a powerful economic engine. With lithium-ion battery demand expected to hit 3.6 TWh by 2030, the surge in electric vehicle (EV) adoption and renewable energy storage...
3 Ways to Build a Self-Reliant U.S. Battery Industry—Fast
A self-reliant battery industry is critical for the United States to secure its energy future amid the global energy transition. With lithium-ion battery demand projected to reach 3.6 TWh by 2030, reliance on foreign supply chains for critical minerals like lithium,...
The Strategic Value of Processing Critical Minerals at Home
The Strategic Value of Processing Critical Minerals at Home The future of clean energy will not be determined solely by how many electric vehicles we build or how much solar energy we generate—it will be defined by who controls the materials behind the movement. At...
What Would a National Battery Recycling Mandate Mean for America?
America is entering a new energy era—one driven by electric vehicles (EVs), grid-scale battery storage, and advanced electronics. But with this progress comes a critical question: what happens to the batteries when they reach the end of their life? Without a national...
Why Black Mass Is the Key to America’s Battery Future
As the United States races toward energy independence and clean‑technology leadership, one often-overlooked resource may be the linchpin of our future: black mass. This dark, powdery residue—created by shredding spent lithium-ion batteries—contains some of the most...
Top 5 Reasons the U.S. Needs a National Battery Recycling Strategy—Now
As America accelerates its transition to clean energy and electric vehicles (EVs), the pressure is building on our domestic supply of critical minerals. These elements—like lithium, nickel, cobalt, and manganese—are essential for powering the future. Yet instead of...
Why Battery Material Refining Must Stay in America
Why Localizing Battery Material Refining Is Critical for U.S. Energy Independence America’s clean energy future depends on more than just innovation—it requires control. As electric vehicles (EVs), energy storage systems, and defense technologies continue to surge in...
