Cost of Supply $ Cost of battery minerals has soared alongside supply scarcity The cost of manufacturing and importing these battery metals has grown rapidly over recent years as demand has grown at a far faster pace than new supply can enter the market. Environmental Impact of Supply Many conventional recycling and mining practices are harmful to the environment The mining and recycling of these battery metals through conventional techniques can result in the emission of large amounts of greenhouse gases, criteria pollutants, and contaminated water and soil.

ABTC will work in partnership with Novonix Group, University of Nevada, Reno (UNR), University of Utah (U of U), North Carolina State University (NCSU), National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), Argonne National Laboratory (ANL), and Idaho National Laboratory (INL), and with downstream material validation and offtake by Dainen Material, Novonix Group, and IM3NY. ABTC has developed and is constructing an integrated pre-commercial scale recycling facility that will operate with many of these baseline technologies, however it has also developed several enhanced separation and processing techniques that will allow for the recovery of additional products and further reduction of energy and water consumption and life cycle greenhouse gas emissions. Through this proposed project, ABTC and its partners will validate and optimize each of these advanced technologies at the bench scale, then manufacture qualification batches of these products for evaluation and testing by downstream partners, followed by the scale-up of these advanced systems for integration into ABTC's existing pre-commercial scale lithium-ion battery recycling facility. American Battery Technology Company is currently building a battery recycling facility located in Fernley, Nevada. The initial plant capacity will be able to process 20,000 metric tons per year of end-of-life batteries and battery manufacturing waste, scaling up to 100,000 metric tons per year. ABTC's Lithium-Ion Battery Recycling Pilot Plant will be an entirely new construction consisting of three functional building areas totaling approximately 100,000 square feet of floor space with 60,000 square feet dedicated production space. "I've been a steadfast advocate for Nevada's booming clean-energy industry, including our cutting-edge companies engaged in manufacturing and recycling batteries," said U.S. Senator Catherine Cortez Masto (NV). "I'm pleased that these grants from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law I supported continue to come to the Silver State to support our innovative businesses and create jobs." "This investment ensures that we are able to provide for the future demand of batteries, ensure a domestic supply chain of critical minerals and strengthen our national security. As a member of the Congressional Critical Minerals Caucus and a proud supporter of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, I will continue to work with the Administration to make critical investments in Nevada and across the nation to advance a clean energy future," said U.S. Congressman Steven Horsford (NV-04).

Thank you. WHITEHOUSE.GOV Cell & Pack Manufacturing Project Description: American Battery Technology Company (ABTC) and partners will build, and operate a commercial-scale facility to demonstrate its novel process for manufacturing battery cathode grade lithium hydroxide (LIOH) from unconventional Nevada-based lithium-bearing sedimentary resources. Through this demonstration, the domestic- U.S. lithium resource base can be expanded and create a more resilient U.S. battery manufacturing supply chain. ABTC has secured over 10,000 acres of these lithium-bearing sedimentary resources near Tonopah, NV, and its project team has been performing work under an existing grant award from the U.S. Department of Energy's Advanced Manufacturing Office (AMO) to demonstrate this process in an integrated multi-ton per day field demonstration system. With the support of this Bipartisan Infrastructure Law grant award, a 5,000 MT (metric tonnes) LiOH/year commercial processing plant will be constructed and operated at this resource site, with the capacity of the facility to subsequently be expanded to 30,000 MT LIOH/year.
