ARPA-E awarding $39M to 16 projects to grow the domestic critical minerals supply chain

Green Car Congress

The projects were selected as part of ARPA-E’s Mining Innovations for Negative Emissions Resource Recovery (MINER) program. The MINER program funds technology research that increases the mineral yield while decreasing the required energy, and subsequent emissions, to mine and extract energy-relevant minerals.

Aqua Metals is building a more sustainable battery recycling ecosystem

Charged EVs

The company is building a new plant in Nevada, and aims to be processing 10,000 tons of black mass (equivalent to about 150,000 EV battery packs) annually by 2025. We initially developed a lead-acid recycling technology that’s significantly cleaner, like 80, 90% lower emissions than the smelting process. They need to contain them.

How clean is EV battery manufacturing?

Electric Auto Association

Scientists inform us that today’s transportation sector is the largest contributor to US greenhouse gas emissions driving climate change, but how clean are lithium-ion batteries? Production causes more emissions than combustion engine models, an EV beginning life with a heavy "emissions debt.”
