A new European Joint Research Centre (JRC) study looking into the supply of raw materials for the manufacture of low-carbon energy technologies found that eight metals were at high risk of shortages. The SET Plan was launched in 2008 with the objective to accelerate the development and deployment of cost-effective low carbon technologies.

In contrast, lead-acid batteries have a 99% recycling rate in the US. Pyrometallurgy, which traditionally doesn’t recover carbon or lithium, seems likely to be phased out. We take that black mass as the input to our process, which is then powered by 100% renewable, carbon-free energy. It’s a great sustainability story.

Renewable energy integration involves the incorporation of renewable energy sources into existing energy systems, such as electrical grids or heating systems. Energy storage systems (ESS) play a critical role in modern energy infrastructure by addressing the intermittent nature of some renewable energy sources and improving grid stability.

The technology is unique because it can function in a variety of extreme conditions and store as much energy as lead-acid batteries twice its size while lasting up to 10 times as long. This costs an average of $20,000 to $30,000 per site and adds more than 50 tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere per year.

at least, the recycling infrastructure for the well-established lead-acid batteries is robust. lead-acid batteries have a far better recycling rate than even aluminum bottles — over 90% of lead-acid batteries are recycled. None of the new electric cars are planning to use old-tech lead acid batteries.
