Aqua Metals is building a more sustainable battery recycling ecosystem

Charged EVs

Pyrometallurgy, which traditionally doesn’t recover carbon or lithium, seems likely to be phased out. Aqua Metals has developed a process that it says is much cleaner, more efficient and more cost-effective. We take that black mass as the input to our process, which is then powered by 100% renewable, carbon-free energy.

Debunking the Lithium "Mining" FUD

Plug In India

Using low-carbon fuels or biofuels as the source of heat energy to process lithium and manufacture li-ion batteries would cut carbon emissions by half as per world banks study. [4] Thier technical development unit has examined how the carbon footprint of electric cars in compares with that of internal combustion engines.

MIT and Moscow State collaborating on advanced batteries, metal-air batteries and reversible fuel/electrolysis cells

Green Car Congress

Other work focuses on sodium as an earth-abundant alternative to lithium, but while it could lower cost, sodium ions also carry just a single charge. We need a way of producing alternative cleaner fuels, minimizing use of hydrocarbons, or at a minimum recycling the carbon dioxide to form these more useful fuels.

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. Your EV will get cleaner in time.
