Recently, George Kleabrtrorage, Director Georgian International Laboratory, said George Klebtri, said in the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, I hope to find a method of recovering lithium-ion batteries. Significantly reduce the cost of battery energy storage and other applications. The US Department of Energy launched a project early this year to recover key materials in lithium batteries and lithium battery technology.

Joemanchin, Democrats, Washington, showed his concern that the current trade war between the United States and China, and the general instability of bilateral relations between the two countries may affect the commonly used battery energy storage products of lithium or cobalt. Mineral supply. Lithium-ion batteries are the most common battery technology in today's most commonly used battery energy, and their status is increasingly important, and Asian countries, especially China, is the main producer of lithium-ion batteries.

Industry stakeholders and legislators are not worried that the United States rely on foreign suppliers on battery components and complete systems, leading to lack of initiative. Mastering battery technology and production conditions are crucial. An industry-related person in the United States showed overcritical awareness.

He said China has taken very strategic and well-thoughtbary action to arrange their supply chain. They signed a long-term contract with other countries to obtain lithium or cobalt, then bring these minerals to China to refine the battery manufacturer, and the United States has not adopted strategic measures and demonstrates deep-thinking attitudes. In view of the uncertainty of the current Sino-US relations, the Senator Manchuan asked what the United States did to reduce the dependence on foreign suppliers? Although the United States has important mineral resources, the resources needed by battery energy storage and electric vehicles have much more resources than in China, and US energy storage companies face huge challenges.

Relevant persons said, "We must find creative methods and innovative means to reduce costs to compete with China, while lithium battery recycling can work here. "The person pointed out that the current recovery rate of lithium batteries is generally only 5%, and there is no effective technology for lithium-ion batteries. And this also means a fair competitive environment, because so far, there is no country in the world with battery recycling.

In order to promote the recovery of lithium batteries, in January this year, the energy minister Rick Perry announced the establishment of a lithium-ion battery recycling award, and established a battery recycling research and development center. Perry said: "The United States has damaged our energy security and national security for foreign key materials. "The Department of Energy will use competitiveness and resources in private sectors, universities and national laboratories, and develop innovative recycling technology, which will promote economic growth and strengthen energy and safe and improve the environment.
