Aqua Metals is building a more sustainable battery recycling ecosystem

Charged EVs

Aqua Metals has pioneered a new electro-hydrometallurgy process that uses renewable electricity and recycles the chemicals used. Pyrometallurgy, which traditionally doesn’t recover carbon or lithium, seems likely to be phased out. If you buy a new lithium battery today, almost none of the minerals came from a prior battery.

How Umicore is ensuring sustainability in the North American EV battery chain

Charged EVs

However, at the start of its useful life an EV tends to come with a higher “carbon backpack” because of the battery. Cathode active materials are not only a performance and cost driver in EV batteries—they are also a significant contributor to an EV’s overall emissions, so the cathode is in the spotlight of carbon reduction efforts.

Electric Scooter vs Petrol Scooter : Huge benefits for India

Plug In India

Where as a petrol scooter emits a combination of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and particulate matter. Studies from independent scientists tell us that even if 100% of Electricity is generated from coal, EV’s emit 50% lesser carbon gases due to the efficiency of the electric motor. It does not have a tail pipe.

How clean is EV battery manufacturing?

Electric Auto Association

UCS also reported that once the grid is fully renewable, the number for EVs is reduced to 41 g CO2 eq./km. What is the impact on the EV lifecycle carbon footprint? years if the car is charged using renewable energy. A 30% decrease in grid carbon intensity would reduce emissions from the battery production chain by about 17%.
