Recovering Critical Minerals
from Lithium Ion Batteries

A Clean Energy Company Proudly Based in North Carolina

Mineral Shortages are
a Growing Problem

We cannot supply our own needs on critical minerals, with lithium being the best case at 34% coming from our resources.

Metals produced by our company will be IRA-compliant and help to meet the need for domestically supplied critical minerals.

  • Cobalt

    Cobalt

    Cobalt, primarily sourced from the Democratic Republic of Congo, is crucial for stabilizing battery cathodes, enhancing their energy density, and ensuring the performance of advanced batteries.

    Projected Global Shortage: 85%

  • Algorand

    Manganese

    Manganese, mined in regions like South Africa, Australia, and Gabon, is essential for improving battery efficiency and lifespan, making it a key component in modern energy solutions.

    Projected Global Shortage: 43%

  • Lithium

    Lithium

    Lithium, mainly extracted from South American countries like Chile and Argentina, is projected to be in short supply due to its central role as the primary component in lithium-ion batteries.

    Projected Domestic Shortage: 66%

  • Nickel

    Primarily mined in countries like Indonesia, the Philippines, and Russia, nickel is critical for battery energy density and longevity, making it essential for the growing EV market.

    Projected Shortage: 23%

  • Copper

    Copper, with major sources in Chile and Peru, is essential for its excellent electrical conductivity, making it indispensable for the global transition to cleaner energy.

    Projected Global Shortage: 20%

  • Graphite

    A mineral predominantly mined in China and Brazil, graphite is vital for the production of battery anodes, which are crucial for the performance and capacity of lithium-ion batteries.

    Projected Global Shortage: 74%

North Carolina Campus

Our first campus is based in North Carolina, one of the leading states with more than $20 billion in lithium-ion infrastructure investment.

The facility will be capable of shredding and refining 26,500,000 pounds per year of lithium battery scrap material

Clean
Effective
Cost Efficient

Traditional processes burn batteries in a furnace, resulting in losses of metals and pollution.

Battery Metals’ advanced system eliminates pollution, can recover over 98% of the critical minerals, and operates at a significantly lower cost than alternative thermal and electrowinning processes.

Battery Scrap Generators

Battery Metals purchases consumer batteries, OEM scrap, and end-of-life EV batteries.

We are currently developing our R2/RIOS program for certification.
