The transport sector plays a critical role in meeting global #climate targets, as it alone accounts for about one-third of total U.S. GHG #emissions. Widespread adoption of #electricvehicles will help, but the mining and manufacturing of #EV #battery materials still produce a lot of carbon emissions. The way forward is to #recycle critical materials from spent lithium-ion batteries and use an ultra-efficient process to make new, decarbonized #cathode material. The team of Chris Duhayon, PhD, Emma Giddings and Adrian Garaycochea at Ascend Elements just published a fascinating -- and well researched -- article about our patented Hydro-to-Cathode® direct precursor synthesis technology. Thanks to the Volta Foundation for publishing the work. How does Ascend Elements cut the carbon emissions produced during cathode #precursor (pCAM) manufacturing by up to 90%? Read on. 👇
Decarbonizing the EV battery supply chain is crucial for a sustainable future 🚗🔋 As the shift to EVs accelerates, Ascend Elements’ Hydro-to-Cathode® process meets the urgent need for sustainable battery recycling and new battery materials production while reducing carbon emissions and the environmental impacts of mining.
