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, [...]
At Altilium Clean Technology, we’re not just building a company; we’re building a UK national champion for EV battery recycling. As we take on the net-zero challenge, we’ve developed a set of Guiding Principles that define our culture, strategy and ambition. These priorities form our blueprint for success, driving us forward at digital speed and [...]
Altilium has filed a UK patent application for a pioneering method designed to help automotive OEMs comply with stringent new EU battery regulations. These regulations, which came into force in August 2023, mandate the inclusion of minimum recycled content levels in new batteries as part of the EU's ambitious efforts to promote battery recycling and [...]
Battery recycling in Europe is gathering momentum, with the region witnessing a significant increase in recycling capacities for lithium-ion batteries. An excellent article from the Fraunhofer Institute highlights the rapid expansion and the emergence of new recycling plants across Europe, including the Altilium ACT 4 site in Teesside, processing over 50,000 MT of black mass [...]
Altilium is pleased to announce the completion of a Maiden JORC Mineral Resource Estimate for its Medet mineral recovery and recycling project (ACT 3), an innovative waste-to-value facility focused on developing a sustainable European supply chain for copper and other critical minerals. Located in Bulgaria, the integrated critical minerals recycling project includes a 2,200-hectare copper [...]
Altilium’s COO and co-founder Dr Christian Marston was interviewed for the latest edition of the Advanced Propulsion Centre’s Road to Net Zero podcast. As Dr Marston explains in the podcast, the transition to net zero will require huge volumes of critical minerals, which the UK does not have in large quantities. By recovering lithium and [...]
With a growing network of strategic relationships in place and a portfolio of best-in-class production solutions, Altilium is building out the foundations for its Urban Mining Ecosystem, ensuring a secure feedstock supply for recycling and chemical refining to battery-ready cathode active materials (CAM) at its UK facilities. Securing a reliable supply of feedstock for mega-scale [...]
Altilium, a UK-based clean technology group focused on supporting the transition to net zero, and Connected Energy, a leading developer of second-life battery energy storage systems, have today announced a new strategic relationship that will see the two companies working together to extend the lifecycle of EV batteries. The collaboration brings together two of the [...]
The Faraday Institution highlights the work of pioneering UK companies, including Altilium, in a new report focusing on the growth of the EV battery recycling industry, published this week. As the report notes, EV battery recycling is set to become a substantial economic opportunity, with global turnover expected to reach $40.6 billion by 2030. However, [...]
With global lithium demand set to more than double by 2030, recycling end-of-life EV batteries will be key to creating a sustainable circular economy for this critical battery material, as well as helping to decarbonise EV production and satisfy new EU regulations for sustainable batteries. Lithium is the one of the key components in EV [...]
