2nd July, 2026 – Altilium, a UK-based clean technology company focused on sustainable recovery of critical battery materials, has been awarded funding through the UK government’s Battery Innovation Programme, delivered by Innovate UK and supported by the Department for Business and Trade, for a pioneering collaborative project with Nyobolt, a deep-tech pioneer of high performance battery technologies, Talga Group, a battery materials and technology company, and a leading automotive OEM.

Focusing on Nyobolt’s ultra-fast charging battery technology and leveraging Altilium’s advanced battery recycling capability, with Talga’s expertise in graphite purification and active anode material production, the REMADE project aims to develop a UK-based, closed-loop supply chain for low carbon anode materials, supporting the growth of sustainable, high-performance battery production and strengthening the UK’s energy security and industrial resilience.

By demonstrating the technical and commercial viability of a circular supply chain for anode materials in next generation battery cells, the initiative will help reduce reliance on imported raw materials while lowering the carbon footprint associated with battery production.

Altilium will lead on the recycling and recovery of Nyobolt’s proprietary anode materials, including graphite and niobium tungsten oxide (NWO), from end-of-life EV batteries and battery manufacturing scrap. Talga will refine this recycled graphite feedstock to produce battery grade high specification graphite, and the recovered NWO and graphite will be further reconditioned by Nyobolt to produce ultra-fast charging, high-performance batteries. A leading automotive OEM will provide oversight and alignment with future automotive requirements.

With lithium-ion battery demand accelerating, the project directly addresses critical gaps in the UK battery value chain. Graphite is a key component in battery anodes and demand is set to reach 72,000 tonnes per year by 2035, according to forecasts by the Advanced Propulsion Centre. Currently the UK depends almost entirely on graphite imports, with China supplying 99% of the world’s battery graphite and anode technology.

Fast charging is also a key enabler for electrification and adoption in multiple sectors. Establishing a local high performance battery supply chain from recycled materials presents a significant opportunity for the UK.

Dr Christian Marston, Altilium COO, commented: “Through the REMADE project, we are showing how recycled battery waste can become a sustainable domestic source of critical anode materials for next-generation batteries, helping build a more resilient and low carbon UK battery supply chain.”

Current recycling processes are largely focused on recovery of cathode materials, with the graphite typically ending up as waste. Altilium’s proprietary EcoAnode™ process can recover 99% of the graphite from end-of-life battery waste, with up to 77% lower emissions compared to primary mining and refining.

Nyobolt’s advanced lithium-ion batteries charge to 80% in less than 5 minutes, while its high-power-density technology enables smaller, lighter battery packs, decreasing the demand for raw materials and lowering lifecycle emissions.

Anna Wise, Head of Strategy at Nyobolt, commented “REMADE brings together breakthrough materials engineering and system-level thinking to reshape how batteries are made. We’re excited to collaborate with Altilium and Talga to prove that circularity can enhance performance as well as sustainability”

Talga’s high-performance active anode materials enable faster charging and higher power batteries, with a wholly owned natural and recycled graphite anode production platform supporting lower emissions and ensuring supply security.

Mark Thompson, Managing Director of Talga, commented: “Re-use of spent anode material has been a global technical challenge we are proud to solve and, in the process, advance a circular pathway for next-generation UK battery production under the REMADE project together with Altilium and Nyobolt.”

The Battery Innovation Programme, a UK government funded programme, delivered by Innovate UK and supported by the Department for Business and Trade, as part of the government’s Industrial Strategy, is a £452 million programme running from 2026 to 2030. It is designed to grow the UK economy by accelerating battery innovation and enhancing the nation’s global competitiveness across automotive, aerospace, off-highway, storage and maritime.

About Altilium

Altilium is a UK-based clean tech group that is reshaping the UK and European automotive supply chain by offering high volume, low carbon domestic sources of cathode and anode materials from recycling waste streams already in circulation, such as end-of-life batteries.

The company’s proprietary EcoCathode™ and EcoAnode™ processes convert end-of-life EV batteries and manufacturing scrap into domestic, sustainable, battery precursors, cathode active materials (CAM), cathode precursor (pCAM) and anode active material (AAM), for direct reuse in new batteries.

Altilium’s first pilot plant commenced operations in Plymouth in 2025 while its planned Teesside plant will be one of the largest EV battery recycling facilities in Europe. The plant will have the capacity to process scrap from over 150,000 EVs per year, producing 30,000 MT of CAM, enough to meet around 20% of the UK’s expected needs by 2030.

The company is backed by SQM Lithium Ventures, the corporate venture arm of the lithium business of Sociedad Quimica y Minera de Chile (SQM), Japanese trading and investment group Marubeni Corporation and Mizuho Bank.
