DOE launches its first Li-ion battery recycling R&D center: ReCell; driving toward closed-loop recycling

Green Car Congress

The US Department of Energy (DOE) has launched its first lithium-ion battery recycling center, called the ReCell Center. A goal of the ReCell Center is to drive toward closed-loop recycling, where materials from spent batteries are directly recycled, minimizing energy use and waste by eliminating mining and processing steps.

Georgia Tech life-cycle study finds TCO of medium-duty electric and diesel delivery trucks similar; electric life-cycle energy use and GHG lower than diesel

Green Car Congress

They also found that the total costs of ownership (TCO) of the electric and diesel trucks are similar. Battery replacement is another key factor; to maximize the benefits from electric trucks, the durability and reliability of the automotive Li-ion battery are crucial, which might be advanced with technological development.

DOE issues $10M incubator FOA for batteries, power electronics, engines, materials, fuels and lubricants

Green Car Congress

Incubator programs allow DOE to assess new technologies for potential to be on-ramped to future MYPPs. Specifically: the current cost of high?energy ion batteries is approximately four times too high on a kWh basis; current batteries are two to three times too heavy and large, and high? based systems for waste?heat
