Dave Ketcher, Project Delivery Lead at the Advanced Propulsion Centre UK (APC), explains how funding from the Automotive Transformation Fund (ATF) has supported the scale-up of Altilium’s innovative battery recycling process and the development of a sustainable domestic supply chain for critical battery minerals in the UK. In 2022 Altilium was awarded a share of [...]
Project aims to accelerate UK’s transition to sustainable electric vehicles (EVs) by focusing on battery production decarbonisation. 26th September, 2024 – Altilium, a UK-based clean technology group focused on supporting the transition to net zero, has today announced a groundbreaking project to produce and validate EV battery cells using materials recovered from end-of-life EV batteries. [...]
Altilium has filed a new patent for innovations related to the generation of black mass through the shredding of lithium-ion batteries. With this latest filing, Altilium now has five patent applications in process, all strategically focused within the UK. Altilium is pioneering the UK’s only fully circular EV battery business model. Our unique offering includes [...]
Altilium has delivered the first batch of cathode active material (CAM) to the UK Battery Industrialisation Centre (UKBIC), for production and qualification of new NMC 811 battery cells. Altilium’s EcoCathode NMC 811-2036 is a high-nickel CAM produced using materials recovered from end-of-life EV batteries. As well as creating a sustainable, domestic supply chain for critical [...]
Altilium is proud to have secured further grant funding from the Advanced Propulsion Centre for two innovative new projects, as it continues to accelerate the scale-up of its EV battery recycling operations and support the industrialisation of an electrified automotive supply chain in the UK. The projects were announced today as the Department for Business [...]
“What we’re focused on is being first to market in the UK and doing it at scale.” Altilium’s COO and co-founder, Dr Christian Marston, spoke to Kallanish Commodities’ Global Editor Gabriela Farhangi about the company’s latest technological breakthroughs, as well as its ongoing work with partners such as Nissan and its plans for the UK’s [...]
Four years ago, Altilium’s co-founders envisioned a future where the critical minerals essential for the energy transition would be sourced from recycling existing waste streams, minimising the need for mining and preserving our natural resources. Specifically, EV batteries present a unique opportunity, as they can be efficiently and endlessly recycled, paving the way for a [...]
Altilium’s COO Dr Christian Marston spoke to Benchmark Source about the opportunities for recycling graphite from end-of life EV batteries, as the UK and Europe look to reduce their reliance on imported raw materials. Altilium is currently working with Talga Group Ltd to optimise the recovery of graphite for reuse in the production of new [...]
Altilium completes engineering study for its commercial-scale black mass recycling plant, set to be the largest in the UK and possibly European region, processing a mixed feedstock including LCO consumer scrap, LFP and NMC old batteries and production scrap for an output of 40,000 MT of black mass per year. The Battery Recycling Station (BRS) [...]
As the UK’s EV market grows, the demand for battery materials, particularly nickel, lithium, and cobalt, will surge. By 2030, the UK is expected to have 130 GWh of cell production capacity, translating to 132,000 MT of cathode material demand, over double the 2027 expected demand of 56,000 MT (APC, 2024). To meet this requirement, [...]
