Stena Recycling va construire en SUéde une usine de recyclage de batteries pour 24.6 millions d'euros.
Another battery recycling plant for Sweden
Construction on the Halmstad facility is expected to start this year after the Stena Recycling branch of the Swedish conglomerate announced a €25 million commitment.

JULY 5, 2021 MAX HALL

Gothenburg-based Stena Recycling today announced plans to invest SEK250 million (€24.6 million) in a battery recycling plant near its Nordic Recycling Center in Halmstad, Sweden.

Describing the project as a “new battery recycling process” without revealing any further technical details, the Swedish recycling business said London-based chemicals and sustainable technology company Johnson Matthey would add a process step which would see the 95% of the lithium-ion battery materials Stena said it will recover from each device “fully refined” for use in new products.

Stating construction will begin in “autumn,” Stena said the initial batteries to be processed would be collected at its 90 locations in Sweden and “eventually” in other countries where the business operates. Stena Recycling is part of the Olsson-family-owned Stena conglomerate, which includes the ferry company.

Quoted in a press release issued by the company today to announce the investment, Stena Recycling MD Fredrik Pettersson said: “We see a strong growth in the sale of electric vehicles where we need to meet our customers' needs to dispose of spent batteries in a safe and environmentally sound way. This major investment is part of our strategy to be a leader in the collection and mechanical processing of lithium-ion batteries to establish a circular cycle for batteries.

“We are now responding to market demand. We are proud to offer a circular solution for lithium-ion batteries. It will be a big win for the environment and for the life cycle of the batteries when we recover critical metals such as lithium, nickel and cobalt, which are in short supply worldwide.”

BASF construit une usine pilote de recyclage de batteries en Allemagne.
BASF expands battery recycling in Germany and the US

July 13, 2021

BASF is building a battery recycling prototype facility in Schwarzheide, Germany, at the site of its cathode active materials plant to optimise further the technology to deliver ‘superior returns’ of lithium, nickel, cobalt and manganese from discarded lithium-ion batteries.

The extracted metals will be used to produce new cathode active materials, thereby strengthening the battery value chain. This project, which is mostly funded by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Energy, will create about 35 production jobs and is due to start operations in early 2023.

BASF says battery recycling is an important long-term market requirement in the electric vehicle market to reduce its CO2 footprint as well as to meet stricter policy measures under the proposed EU Battery Regulation. These include recycling efficiencies and material recovery targets for nickel, cobalt and lithium.

‘With this investment in battery recycling, plus leading process technology for manufacturing of cathode active materials, we aim to close the loop while reducing the CO2 footprint of our cathode active materials by up to 60% in total compared to industry standards,’ says Dr. Matthias Dohrn, senior vice president, precious and base metal services at BASF. ‘This will enable us to meet the needs of our automotive customers – including original equipment manufacturers – and helps ensure a more sustainable future for us all.’

Meanwhile, the BASF Catalysts division, headquartered in Iselin, New Jersey, has acquired Zodiac Enterprises in Caldwell, Texas, which recycles precious metals from industrial scrap, primarily chemical catalysts. This deal will complement the company’s existing precious metal recycling operations in Seneca, South Carolina. It will also provide increased smelting capacity in North America. Additional personnel will be hired to expand the production capacity of the Texas site.

Sumitomo Metal discovers recyclable EV battery metal method

AUG 17, 2021

The Japanese mining company, Sumitomo Metal, has reportedly succeeded in discovering a method that can safely and efficiently rescue nickel and cobalt from rechargeable batteries, like that of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). As the electric vehicle industry drives forward, one issue being persistently flagged up by manufacturers is that of the mining industry’s inability to keep up with an ever-increasing demand for the metals required in battery production.

A future shortage in the supply of metals such as nickel, cobalt, and lithium is expected and often raised as a point of concern. Something to bear in mind when addressing the significance of this latest discovery at Japan’s largest nickel smelter.

The rescued raw materials are able to be reused in the production of further LIBs, potentially providing a solution to the ominous supply chain disaster regarding an inefficient amount of metals to meet consumer demand. The industry has reason for concern, as ensuring stable supplies of the metals is becoming increasingly difficult due to the uneven distribution of production regions.
Success comes following the recovery of a high-purity nickel-cobalt mix through the separation of impurities at Sumitomo Metal. Somewhat surprisingly, the smelter has been able to rescue the two metals from rechargeable batteries since 2017, but the development of new technology opens doors to wider opportunities outside of simply Sumitomo Metal’s capabilities.

“No commercialisation plans have been set yet, but we will continue to work on the development toward making it commercially viable,” says a spokesperson for Sumitomo Metal.

Initial experiments have revealed that, following the evaluation of LIB cathode material from the recycled metals mixture, the subsequent performance of the batteries was on par with that of batteries manufactured purely from raw materials mined from natural resources. Results such as these also prove promising to an industry that struggles to remain sustainably viable.

But the company’s innovation isn’t limited to this discovery alone, with its eyes focused on supplying the future of the EV industry with a number of solutions to combat potential metals shortages. Recently, Sumitomo Metal developed a soluble slag to allow for lithium recovery through a smelting process demonstration. As a result, copper, nickel, cobalt, and lithium are all able to be safely recycled from rechargeable batteries that have already been in use.

“If we can commercialise this ‘battery to battery’ recycling process, we can contribute to a formation of a sustainable circular economy and response to global resource depletion,” the company says.

The smelter has links to big EV names such as Tesla and Panasonic, providing nickel-based cathode materials to be used in the production of LIBs and, eventually, EVs. Its ties to big names may prove highly valuable when the time comes to expand upon its new process.

Tesla Says It Can Now Recycle 92% of Battery Cell Materials
The electric vehicle maker recycled 1,300 tons of nickel in 2020.


By Chris Young August 10, 2021

Tesla released its 2020 Impact Report this week, in which the electric vehicle (EV) automaker claims it has the capacity to recover approximately 92 percent of battery cell materials thanks to ongoing improvements to its recycling process.

The company has been working with third-party recycling firms for years to improve its capacity for end-of-life battery recycling. In doing so it hopes to curb the environmental cost of mining materials such as cobalt that are needed for the batteries — one of the main points EV detractors bring up when arguing against the technology.

We need to talk about lithium-ion batteries
Since its inception, Tesla has been keenly aware of the environmental impact of battery production. A recent IVL report, for example, stated that lithium-ion battery production emits between 61-106 kilos of carbon dioxide equivalents per kilowatt-hour battery capacity produced. That's why improving its recycling processes has been a high-priority goal for the firm alongside other goals such as improving driver safety with its full self-driving software. In fact, Tesla co-founder and CTO JB Straubel quit the company in 2019 to found an EV battery recycling firm called Redwood Materials.

As Tesla points out in its report, the "Tesla battery pack is designed to outlast the vehicle itself. Because of this, few consumer Tesla batteries — even those from our nearly nine-year-old Model S cars — have been decommissioned to date." Therefore, Tesla says that its battery factories have begun incorporating an "in-house, closed-loop recycling system that will ensure 100% of Tesla batteries received are recycled and up to 92% of their raw metals reused."

EV battery recycling is set to take off

In the report, Tesla confirms that it installed the first phase of its cell recycling facility at Gigafactory Nevada in the fourth quarter of 2020. The firm explains that the facility brings the world of EVs a step closer to battery recycling at scale.

The EV automaker also suggested that the technology will soon be implemented in its Gigafactory in Germany. "As the manufacturer of our in-house cell program, we are best positioned to recycle our products efficiently to maximize key battery material recovery," Tesla explains. "With the implementation of in-house cell manufacturing at Gigafactory Berlin-Brandenburg and Gigafactory Texas, we expect substantial increases in manufacturing scrap globally."

Overall, Tesla states that its goal is to develop a safe, low-cost recycling process with high recovery rates and a low environmental impact. In its report, it also said "we expect to recognize significant savings over the long term as the costs associated with large-scale battery material recovery and recycling will be far lower than purchasing additional raw materials for cell manufacturing."

Tesla also released figures on the specific amount of materials it recycled from battery packs in 2020. It stated that it recycled 1,300 tons of nickel, 400 tons of copper, and 80 tons of cobalt. Unlike with Tesla CEO Elon Musk's recent u-turn on cryptocurrency payments, turning back on battery technologies is not an option at this point, meaning that the only solution is to improve the global capacity for battery recycling.

Li-Cycle to build EV battery recycling plant in Alabama

Reuters | September 8, 2021

Li-Cycle Holdings Corp said on Wednesday it will build a recycling facility in Alabama to process a rising volume of lithium-ion battery scrap in the U.S. Southeast for reuse by electric vehicle manufacturers.


The facility, to be built in Tuscaloosa, aims to tap into an increased focus from EV and cathode manufacturers across the U.S. Southeast, including Daimler AG’s Mercedes and others, on the so-called circular economy in order to recycle battery metals and rely less on new mines.

Roughly 5% to 10% of the EV battery manufacturing process produces waste that the Alabama facility will primarily recycle, said Ajay Kochhar, Li-Cycle’s chief executive.

“In the past 5 months alone there has been this emergence of additional battery cell manufacturing plants in the U.S. southeastern corridor, and there’s really no recycling solution in that region yet,” Kochhar said.

Li-Cycle said it has partnered with Univar Solutions Inc to collect battery scrap, including a Mercedes plant also in Alabama, and supply it to its recycling facility, where it will be broken down into component metals.

The Toronto-based company plans to spend about $10 million on the facility, which is expected to open by mid-2022 and will be its fourth on the North American continent. Li-Cycle also operates recycling facilities in Ontario and upstate New York. Earlier this year the company announced plans to build a recycling facility in Arizona.

The facility will initially process 5,000 tonnes per year of battery material, bringing the company’s total capacity to about 25,000 tonnes. In time, the Alabama facility’s capacity could double, Kochhar said.

Koch invests US$100m in battery recycling company Li-Cycle

ByAndy Colthorpe September 30, 2021

US$100 million has been invested into North American lithium-ion battery recycling specialist Li-Cycle by a venture capital (VC) subsidiary of fossil fuels industry giant Koch Industries.

In a transaction announced yesterday, Li-Cycle said Koch Strategic Platforms will buy a convertible note to support its “rapidly expanding growth opportunities in North America, Europe and Asia”. Li-Cycle already operates two facilities in Kingston, Ontario and Rochester, New York, with plans to open more in Arizona and Alabama as well as further New York facilities which will create a closed loop recycling ecosystem.

Li-Cycle claims to have made almost all the valuable materials from spent batteries recoverable through its two-step mechanical and hydrometallurgical process. While the company is largely targeting the electric vehicle industry, executives have previously told Energy-Storage.news that it views the stationary energy storage system (ESS) industry as an important source of feedstock as well as end customers in the years to come.

Des millions de batteries à recycler: l'automobile se prépare pour 2030

AFP parue le 19 oct. 2021

Avec le boom des voitures électriques, des millions de batteries devraient arriver en fin de vie dans quelques années: les filières de recyclage se préparent à travers le monde à accélérer la cadence.

Ces batteries sont des mines de matériaux, pesant jusqu'à 500 kilos et représentant jusqu'à 50% de la valeur d'un véhicule électrique. L'extraction de ces matériaux et l'assemblage des batteries sont extrêmement polluants et chers.

Pour rentabiliser cette production, il faut d'abord prolonger la vie de ces batteries, qui peuvent servir de huit à quinze ans dans un véhicule avant de perdre en puissance, mais aussi leur donner une deuxième vie, dans les maisons par exemple.

Mais le potentiel du recyclage paraît énorme: il pourrait aider à réduire la demande mondiale en 2040 de 25% pour le lithium, 35% pour le cobalt et le nickel et 55% pour le cuivre, selon un rapport de l'Institut des futurs durables (ISF) à l'Université de technologie de Sydney, en Australie.

Dans une zone industrielle au milieu des champs, dans l'est de la France, le recycleur Veolia a construit une usine de pilote sur son site EuroDieuze, qui récupérait surtout des petites batteries de téléphone ou d'ordinateurs.

"Les proportions sont différentes, mais les composants sont les mêmes", explique Pascal Muller, directeur de la région chez Veolia.

La batterie est déchargée, dévêtue de son enveloppe plastique et électronique, ainsi que des feuilles en aluminium qui retiennent les cellules - les coeurs de la batterie. Il faut ensuite broyer ces cellules en une poudre dont on extraira et triera les différents métaux, par le feu ou par la chimie.

La sécurité est primordiale: outre les risques électriques, tous ces modules sont couverts de solvants très inflammables et polluants.

"Pour l'instant, on est sur beaucoup d'opérations manuelles", souligne Pacal Muller, qui cherche avec des partenaires à "automatiser certaines opérations".

- "Projections colossales" -

Les industriels arrivent à recycler 60% du poids des batteries, selon l'ISF. "Il est techniquement possible de récupérer ces quatre métaux (lithium, cobalt, nickel, cuivre) à plus de 90%, mais il manque des motivations économiques ou règlementaires qui pourraient encourager l'utilisation de matériaux recyclés", souligne l'institut.

La Commission européenne souhaite imposer aux fabricants d'intégrer un minimum de matières recyclées dans les batteries à partir de 2030, à hauteur de 12% de cobalt, 4% de lithium et 4% de nickel.

Ce recyclage qui pourrait devenir massif et rentable éveille les intérêts. L'industrie chinoise est en avance, selon les observateurs: le fabricant des batteries CATL vient d'annoncer la construction d'une usine de recyclage pour 32 milliards de yuan (4,3 milliards d'euros) dans la province du Hubei (centre de la Chine).

Aux Etats-Unis, un des fondateurs de Tesla a levé en juillet 500 millions de dollars pour étendre son usine de recyclage, Redwood.

Dans le nord de la Suède, la start-up Northvolt doit lancer en 2022 une usine capable de recycler 25.000 tonnes de batteries par an. Ce jeune géant, partenaire de Volkswagen et BMW, promet d'utiliser d'ici à 2030 jusqu'à 50% de matériaux reyclés pour produire des batteries dans sa "gigafactory" voisine, à Skellefteå.

Ce projet de recyclage -appelé "Revolt"- est essentiel dans le bilan carbone -et la communication- de l'entreprise, qui promet d'être la plus "verte" d'Europe pour la production de batteries électriques à haute puissance.

Le géant français du nucléaire Orano (ex-Areva) a aussi lancé un projet pilote. "Les projections de tonnage de batteries à recycler sont colossales. On parle déjà de 500.000 tonnes à recycler en 2030", lance Didier David, directeur de ce projet.

Orano va appliquer ses savoir-faire issus du nucléaire en manipulation "d'objets compliqués", en recyclage et en hydrométallurgie, une technique utilisée pour l'extraction d'uranium. "Tout n'est pas standardisé et chaque fabricant a ses propres recettes. La prochaine étape va être de trouver les financements nécessaires et les clients pour accélérer", explique Didier David.

Chez Northvolt, la responsable de l'environnement Emma Nehrenheim s'inquiète: "Toutes les prévisions qu'on avait jusqu'à maintenant étaient en dessous de la réalité. La production de batteries croît constamment et il y a un risque que l'Europe ne soit pas prête. (...) Nous devons agir maintenant".

Le suédois Northvolt produit sa première cellule de batterie à base de nickel, manganèse et cobalt 100 % recyclés

Par Erick Fontaine Publié le 15/11/21

La performance que vient d'accomplir Northvolt, le petit poucet suédois de la production de cellules de batterie, nerf de la guerre des voitures électriques, est particulièrement intéressante. En effet, celui qui se définit comme le Tesla suédois de la batterie annonce la production de cellules avec une cathode contenant du nickel, du manganèse et du cobalt (NMC) 100 % recyclés dans le cadre de son programme de recyclage Revolt. Le tout sans que les performances électrochimiques soient altérées.

Ainsi selon une responsable du programme Revolt, "le processus de recyclage peut récupérer jusqu'à 95 % des métaux d'une batterie à un niveau de pureté équivalent à celui d'un matériau d’origine". L’ensemble du processus de récupération, effectué sur le seul site Northvolt Labs à Västerås (Suède), repose sur "un traitement hydrométallurgique à faible énergie qui consiste à utiliser une solution aqueuse pour isoler les métaux et les séparer des impuretés".

Avec cette démonstration réussie, Northvolt souhaite montrer "(…) qu'il existe une alternative durable et écologiquement préférable à l'exploitation minière conventionnelle pour obtenir des matières premières pour la production de batteries", affirme Emma Nehrenheim, responsable de l'environnement et responsable de Revolt, le programme de recyclage de la société, chez Northvolt.

Lancé dès 2019, le programme de recyclage Revolt prévoyait une capacité de recyclage des composants chimiques NMC (nickel, manganèse et cobalt) et NCA (nickel, cobalt et aluminium) de 100 000 tonnes/an, soit 25 GWh de production de batteries par an. Cette prévision a été portée à 125 000 tonnes/an, soit 30 GWh avec des cellules composées de 50 % de matériaux recyclés d'ici à 2030.

Pour atteindre cet objectif, Northvolt a entrepris l’extension de son unité de recyclage baptisée Revolt Ett à proximité de la gigafactory Northvolt Ett en Suède afin qu’elle devienne la plus grande usine de traitement en Europe capable de recycler le lithium en plus du nickel, du manganèse, du cobalt et d'autres métaux.

L’alimentation de celle-ci s’effectuera par les "(…) quelque 250 000 tonnes de batteries [qui] arriveront en fin de vie en Europe d'ici 2030", ainsi que par les déchets produits par l’usine de batteries Northvolt Ett. En outre, le fabricant suédois va devoir également recycler les plastiques, le cuivre et l’aluminium issus de la fabrication des batteries. Nortvolt a indiqué que ces derniers seraient "remis en circulation dans les flux de fabrication par le biais de tiers locaux".

Li-Cycle Holdings Corp said on Tuesday it will expand the capacity of a lithium-ion battery recycling facility it is building in Rochester, New York, due to the rising volume of scrap in the United States.


The facility will now be built to process 35,000 tonnes annually of waste from the electric vehicle (EV) battery manufacturing process, 40% larger than initially expected.

Construction is slated to begin later this month and finish by 2023. The Toronto-based company plans to spend $485 million on the facility.

General Motors Co and other automakers have recently announced plans to build EV production facilities in the United States. Li-Cycle will process scrap from those operations as part of the so-called circular economy in order to recycle battery metals and rely less on new mines.

Roughly 5% to 10% of the EV battery manufacturing process produces waste that can be recycled, the company estimates.

“There’s way more scrap material in the market then we ever expected,” said Ajay Kochhar, Li-Cycle’s chief executive.

The company earlier this year said it would open a recycling facility in Alabama to compliment sites in Ontario and Arizona.

Lithium-ion battery recycling and engineered materials company Battery Resourcers has unveiled plans to open a commercial-scale and lithium-ion battery recycling facility in Covington, Georgia, US.

With an investment of $43m, the new facility is being built at 9172 Industrial Drive in Covington that is near to various EV manufacturing hubs and lithium-ion gigafactories.

Slated to be operational in August this year, the new 154,000ft2 facility is expected to become one of the largest battery recycling facilities in North America.

The facility will hold the potential to process 30,000 metric tonnes of discarded lithium-ion batteries and scrap per annum, thereby helping to return battery grade lithium, cobalt and nickel back into the battery supply chain.

Battery Resourcers CEO and director Michael O’Kronley said: “Automotive OEMs are sitting on mountains of discarded batteries and scrap, and right now they have very few options for responsible and cost-effective disposal.

“With this convenient US location and our next-generation technology, we are providing a sustainable solution to help minimise the need for mining while returning valuable, battery-grade materials back into the lithium-ion supply chain.”

Battery Resourcers stated that the opening of the Covington facility marks the first phase of its strategic expansion.

It added that plans are already underway to open an additional facility for precursor and cathode-active material production in 2023 using the firm’s patented Hydro-to Cathode technology.

The Hydro-to Cathode recycling process is 93% cleaner at a 59% lower cost compared to mining and production of new materials, said the company.

With an aim of processing around 150,000 metric tonnes of lithium-ion material across the globe per annum, Battery Resourcers aims to open additional facilities in North America, Europe and Asia.[/img]

Li-Cycle and strategic partners to build new lithium-ion battery recycling facility in Norway
Li-Cycle will be the majority owner of the joint venture, with ECO STOR and Morrow being minority owners and Nordic-headquartered strategic partners


By NS Energy Staff Writer 27 Jan 2022

Li-Cycle Holdings Corp. (“Li-Cycle” or “the Company”), an industry leader in lithium-ion battery resource recovery and the leading lithium-ion battery recycler in North America, announced today that it has formed a joint venture with ECO STOR AS (“ECO STOR”) and Morrow Batteries AS (“Morrow”). Li-Cycle will be the majority owner of the joint venture, with ECO STOR and Morrow being minority owners and Nordic-headquartered strategic partners. Through this vehicle, Li-Cycle will construct a new commercial lithium-ion battery recycling facility in southern Norway.

Norway has long been a leader in electric vehicle (EV) adoption and, according to the Norwegian Automobile Federation, is on the path of phasing out sales of new internal combustion engine vehicles by April 2022. This would be three years ahead of the 2025 target proposed by the Norwegian government and could result in a significant, long-term supply of end-of-life batteries. Li-Cycle expects it will be well-positioned to ultimately recycle and bring these end-of-life batteries back into the lithium-ion battery supply chain. Importantly, this is in addition to the sustainable domestic supply of manufacturing scrap expected to be generated in Norway as battery manufacturing capacity is increased by companies such as Morrow.

Once constructed, the Norwegian Spoke will be Li-Cycle’s first recycling facility outside of North America and is expected to have the capacity to process up to 10,000 tonnes of lithium-ion batteries per year, including but not limited to battery manufacturing scrap, full EV packs, and energy storage systems. The facility is expected to be operational in early 2023. The initiative brings together complementary parts of a circular and sustainable value chain to the European market and brings Li-Cycle’s total expected global recycling capacity (existing and under development) to 40,000 tonnes of lithium-ion battery input per year.

By NS Energy Staff Writer 27 Jan 2022

Commodity and trading and mining company Glencore has established a partnership with an industrial mining group Managem to produce cobalt from recycled battery materials in Morocco.

Under the deal, the companies will work together to produce cobalt from recycled cobalt, nickel and lithium at Managem’s Compagnie de Tifnout Tiranimine (CTT) hydrometallurgical refinery at Guemssa near Marrakech.

Glencore and CTT are expected to enter into a five-year tolling agreement for nearly 1.2kt of recycled cobalt per year as well as nickel hydroxide and lithium carbonate.

Managem chairman and CEO Imad Toumi said: “Managem is fully engaged in supporting the global circular economy through cobalt, nickel and lithium at the same time as mining cobalt with the highest CSR standards. This partnership with Glencore represents an exciting step up in our development in this field.”

The partnership is subject to a feasibility study to evaluate the commercial viability of modifying and deploying the CTT refinery to recover cobalt, nickel and lithium from black mass.

With a focus on achieving high recoveries and a low carbon footprint, the feasibility study is expected to be completed by the end of first quarter this year.

To deliver cobalt containing black mass to the CTT refinery, Glencore will leverage its capabilities in sourcing and recycling cobalt and nickel bearing products at its Canadian and Norwegian operations.

As part of the partnership, Managem will offer the lithium-ion batteries recycling technology that is tested in the pilot plant at the REMINEX R&D Centre.

Glencore annonce la construction d'une usine de recyclage de batteries lithium-ion dans le Kent de capacité de 10 000 tonnes par an.
Glencore backs Britishvolt’s battery recycling ambition

Kirstin Linnenkoper – February 3, 2022

International commodity trader Glencore has partnered with start-up Britishvolt to establish the first major lithium-ion battery recycling facility in the UK.

The first step of the joint venture is the construction of a new plant at Glencore’s Britannia Refined Metals operation in Northfleet, Kent, previously a coal-fired power station. The site will have a processing capacity of at least 10 000 tonnes per year and is expected to be operational by mid-2023. The new plant is expected to be 100% powered by renewable energy in the longer term.

The partnership is also looking to develop other recycling activities, such as refining black mass into battery grade raw materials.

‘By partnering with Glencore, we are locking in supply and de-risking the project,’ says Orral Nadjari, Britishvolt’s founder and ceo. ‘This is a huge step in the right direction for Britishvolt as we look to accelerate the transition to a low carbon society.’

In January, the UK government pledged investment of £100 million (EUR 120 million) in Britishvolt.
