As the pressure to decarbonize electricity grids mounts, so does the need to have long-term storage options for power generated from renewables. While rechargeable batteries are the solution of choice for consumer-level use, they are impractical for grid-scale consideration. A long road, in other words, lies ahead.

If drivers cannot charge their vehicles, or the incentives are not in place to spur behavior change, they can’t be expected to adopt EVs at the rate seen in other parts of the world, particularly China and the EU. The 200,000 vehicle cap on manufacturers has also been lifted, while credits have been extended to used and commercial EVs.

Charged spoke with Steve Cotton, CEO and President, and David Regan, VP of Commercial, about the different ways to recycle batteries, and the challenges of building a full-scale circular supply chain for batteries. We’re a little behind in that part, but we have passed the IRA recently. David Regan: I think it’s a regulatory issue.

As part of this, Gray and Tarascon suggest, the state of health of batteries must be monitored continuously during operation to minimize their degradation. We need new storage technologies if more renewables are to be used on the electrical grid; similarly, the electrification of transport requires much cheaper and longer-lasting batteries.

For EVs to deliver their full emission-reducing potential, the battery supply chain must be as clean as possible, and cathode active materials (CAM) are a key part of the sustainability equation. The company expects the first commercial applications to appear around 2027. How do we do this? Our approach is fourfold.
