BETHLEHEM, PA / ACCESSWIRE / March 17, 2021 / The demand for lithium-ion batteries has grown rapidly over the last several years. Thanks to the popularity of electric vehicles like Tesla, rechargeable, battery-operated power has never been sexier. Since 2013, sales of lithium-ion battery-powered cars have skyrocketed by more than 10x. However, there is a darker side to the industry. According, to the American Battery Technology Company (ABTC) by the year 2030, 11 million metric tons of lithium-ion batteries will reach the end of their life and will end up in landfills unless extraordinary recycling technologies are introduced. Fortunately, ABTC may just have the solution.
American Battery Technology Company has spent the last several years working on proprietary technology that has the power to transform the future of the world's energy. Their clean technology platform serves to increase the production of primary metals used in the batteries that power electric cars, grid storage applications, power tools, and even consumer electronics. Not only is it highly effective; it is also clean. The process eliminates water pollution, reduces water consumption all while emitting virtually zero air toxins.
So how do they do it? ABTC focuses on three main objectives. First, they recycle used lithium-ion batteries to reuse the battery's valuable metals. Second, they extract battery metals from primary resources, while focusing on developing new, more efficient, green technologies that they can implement and scale. Lastly, they focus on resource stewardship of new mineral resources globally.
According to ABTC Advisor, Barkman, "This is the future of how our planet will access and reuse energy, but this is only the beginning, we have to change the way we think about recycling on a global scale."
The ABTC technology utilizes a proprietary extraction technology to harvest lithium in a manner that is extremely efficient while still being entirely clean. However, the supply of essential minerals is not endless, in order to create a more sustainable future, the world must actively prioritize ways to rethink the recycling process and e-waste. ABTC is on a mission to change the narrative for how the world thinks about recycling and offer real solutions.
The traditional approach to battery recycling is inefficient, costly, and requires high heat processes which are dangerous to the environment. The process requires multiple steps and involves several countries. ABTC's new method is streamlined and reduces waste.
Exactly how does it work? They begin with battery disassembly, in this step the battery's contents are disassembled and sorted in a high-speed manner. Next, they extract the materials, including scrap metals such as Aluminum, Copper, and Steel as well as high-value battery cathode metals such as Nickel, Cobalt, Manganese, and Lithium. Once the metals are extracted, they are ready to be purified, in this process, the individual metals are purified into battery cathode grade metals that are tested to ensure they meet the standards set by high energy density cathode manufacturers. Finally, the battery-grade materials are sold to OEMs and manufacturers.
"If battery-operated vehicles, tools, and electronics are going to be the future of the world, we must start thinking strategically, I firmly believe that American Battery Technology Company holds the key to clean energy of the future," says Jonathan Barkman, early stage investor and company advisor.
