Beginning in 2021, President Biden has described the development of domestic supply chains for critical minerals, including through efficient battery processing, recycling and manufacturing, as a national priority.

As part of the U.S. Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, allocations towards batteries encompass a battery material processing grant program and EV battery R&D. Two primary provisions focused on battery processing and manufacturing as well as EV battery recycling and a second-life applications program are allocated a total budget of USD 6.325 billion.

Sec 40207. Battery processing and manufacturing

The section directs the Secretary of Energy to issue grants for the support, construction, and improvement of battery material processing demonstration projects and facilities as well as for battery component manufacturing and recycling demonstration projects and facilities. Additionally, the section authorises the awarding of grants for states and local government to assist with battery collection, recycling, and reprocessing.

The section also requires the Secretary of Energy to establish a task force to develop an extended battery producer responsibility framework to address battery recycling goals, mandatory recycling, product design, collection models, transportation of collected materials, and related regulations.

Sec 40208. Electric drive vehicle battery recycling and second-life applications program

The section directs the Secretary of Energy to establish a research, development, and demonstration program for electric drive vehicle battery recycling and second-life applications. The program will award grants for solutions and projects to increase electric drive vehicle battery recycling and second-use, including the recovery of critical minerals. The section also directs the Secretary of Energy to report to Congress on the market opportunities for the recycling, second-use, and manufacturing of electric drive vehicle batteries in the United States.

The U.S. Army Just Called China’s Bluff in the Rare Earth War

Just recently, in a span of about six weeks, one impressive company was selected by the U.S. Army to build and operate rare earth processing facilities on an American military base…the first time the Army has ever done this. That same company closed $100 million in institutional financing, giving it a war chest of roughly $130 million. It was also formally added to the Russell 3000 Index. And it locked in MOU’s for feedstock agreements covering billions of tonnes of rare earth-bearing material from sources across Wyoming, Appalachia…

Oil Prices Ignore the Warning Signs in Physical Markets

Oil price movements since the start of March this year have become the topic of dozens of discussions. Many have been puzzled by futures prices and why they haven’t gone through the roof given the severe disruption in Middle Eastern supply. It appears the reason is sheer optimism and a bet on market adaptability. However, there is a problem with that. Adaptability has limits. Many commentators like to compare the current oil price—and supply—situation to 2022, when Russia’s incursion into eastern Ukraine prompted an actual…

The World’s Largest Sand Battery Is Now Online

Modern power grids require a constant, real-time balance between supply and consumption. Unfortunately, the integration of wind and solar energy makes power grids unstable due to the intermittent nature of renewable energy generation. To prevent localized grid blackouts or harmful voltage spikes, utilities are increasingly pairing renewables with battery storage and/or rapid-response natural gas plants to smooth out fluctuating supply. However, Finland has now come up with a rather eccentric method to store excess renewable energy and release it…

Refined Fuels, Not Crude, Are Driving the Oil Market Crunch

Oil prices have just come off a fresh two-month high as the crude oil market has tumbled this week amid signals of de-escalation in the U.S.-Iran conflict. Despite the slump in crude prices and the extreme volatility in the past five months, the refined product market continues to tighten with refining margins at record highs because the supply of petroleum products is much tighter than crude supply. Refining margins held at record highs even as crude oil prices soared last week to $100 per barrel. That’s because global gasoline, diesel,…
