The Department of Energy just took a first step toward launching new lithium-ion battery recycling programs in the US. It issued a Request for Information (RFI) yesterday to ask for public input on how to spend $335 million in federal investments for battery recycling that was included in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law passed last year. <\/p>\n

Lithium-ion batteries used to power electric vehicles and store renewable electricity are a major building block for a clean energy economy. Recycling could ease the impending squeeze<\/a> on materials needed to meet rapidly rising demand for those technologies \u2014 especially as the Biden administration tries to keep the US on track to meet pollution-cutting goals it\u2019s agreed to under the Paris climate accord.<\/p>\n
