From trash to treasure: Is India ready for battery recycling revolution?

Given the demand and the unavailability of Lithium, Nickel, Cobalt, Manganese, and Rare Earth Elements (REEs) in sufficient quantities, as a nation, we may be staring at a scenario we had with crude.

India needs to diversify its supply chain for critical minerals: IEEFA

India should invest in resource-rich, friendly nations for sourcing of critical minerals such lithium, cobalt and nickel. The nation should minimise its reliance on imports, especially from countries with a potential trade risk in the future.

Stepping up critical mineral production remains crucial for India’s energy security: ICRA

Advancement in mineral processing and beneficiation technology remains critical for commercialisation of domestic critical mineral resources.

Building a circular economy for India’s self-reliance in battery materials

India is investing in facilities and infrastructure to recycle batteries and recover valuable materials like lithium, cobalt, and nickel. By doing this, we can reduce our need for new materials and minimize the environmental impact of battery production.

Metastable opens innovation center for metal extraction from dead lithium batteries

The urban mining startup has set up an R&D and innovation center focused on improving the efficiency and yield of its chemical-free technology for extracting valuable materials from dead lithium batteries. It will ramp up the facility to double it up as a fully operational metal extraction unit by the end of December.

Battery metals: How quickly can supply ramp up?

A couple of weeks ago, Goldman Sachs sent shockwaves through battery metals markets, issuing a prediction that cobalt and lithium in particular were due for a sharp price decline in the next two years. But London-based Benchmark Mineral Intelligence is loudly pushing back, outlining its reasons why it believes the call on lithium was wrong. Meanwhile, US analyst Wood Mackenzie says that the battery raw material chain will remain tight, but notes that recycling could help to ease the supply deficit.

Transforming the energy storage market

Ensuring pragmatic energy storage transformation is proportional to tweaking the current battery storage chemistry. Zinc battery technology is gaining traction, changing the prevailing energy storage dynamics.

Lithium battery recycling in India

Nitin Gupta, chief executive officer and co-founder, Attero Recycling, speaks to pv magazine about the supply chain concerns for lithium battery storage manufacturing in India, current battery recycling scenario and Attero’s capacity.
