We need battery materials, but we also need to reduce mining and critical minerals extraction and centralizing production outside our borders. So, this week, we’re talking about making batteries from old batteries. Mike O'Kronley, CEO of Ascend Elements, discusses the mission of his company to make batteries more sustainable by producing high-performance cathode materials from recycled batteries. The focus is on NMC batteries, which are primarily used in electric vehicles (EVs) and grid storage. By recycling critical minerals like nickel and cobalt, Ascend Elements helps address supply chain security and reduce the carbon footprint of battery production. The company also solves the problem of battery recycling, debunking the myth that EV batteries end up in landfills.
