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. The whole batteries go in, so the plastics get burned, the carbon gets burned, there’s a lot of emissions.
