American Battery Technology Company (48C Self-Disclosed)

This project will support the construction of a new facility for the recycling of lithium-ion batteries utilizing these internally-developed technologies with a throughput of 20,000 tonnes per year. This facility will produce battery grade critical materials of nickel sulfate, cobalt sulfate, manganese sulfate, lithium hydroxide, spherical graphite, copper, and aluminum. ABTC specifically manufactures these products to the battery grade specifications of its customers so that these products can be reintroduced into the domestic-US supply chain to create a closed-loop infrastructure.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) released applicant self-disclosed information for 22 projects across 17 states that voluntarily shared with DOE that they received a total of nearly $1 billion in allocations from the Qualifying Advanced Energy Project Credit (48C). Nine of the self-disclosed projects indicated they are located in 48C energy communities – communities with closed coal mines or coal plants—showcasing the Biden Administration’s commitment to investing in America’s energy communities.
