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, [...]
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 [...]
