How Tesla’s Battery Mastermind Is Tackling EV's Biggest Problem
Переглядів 2,780,941
День томуLithium-ion batteries are everywhere - in phones, laptops, tablets, cameras and increasingly cars. Demand for lithium-ion batteries has risen sharply in the past five years and is expected to grow from a $44.2 billion market in 2020 to a $94.4 billion market by 2025, mostly due to the boom in electric cars. And a shortage of lithium-ion batteries is looming in the U.S.
Former Tesla CTO and Elon Musk's right-hand man, JB Straubel, started Redwood Materials in 2017 to help address the need for more raw materials and to solve the problem of e-waste. The company recycles end-of-life batteries and then supplies battery makers and auto companies with materials in short supply as EV production surges around the world. Straubel gave CNBC an inside look at its first recycling facility in Carson City, Nevada. Watch the video to learn why battery recycling will be an essential part in making EV production more sustainable.

Its too little too late. The process is slow and expensive, its cheaper to get it from an original source than a recycled one. Although it is true that we should try something and lessons learned from this endeavor will help solve the problem down the road, its just not enough to keep up with the absolute onslaught going to hit starting in the next decade.

Besides recylcable materials from old batteries, printed cirucuit board also contain many valuable metals, like gold, that can be extracted and recycled.
@lindsaycole8409 2 роки тому
It is obvious. The most concentrated supply of the materials to build lithium batteries will be in old lithium batteries. The problem usually is the materials involved eventually migrate to places within the battery, or form structures, where they can't be regenerated through recharging. But disassembly and processing to separate everything out again will work. The really interesting thing is if the battery manufacturers start designing for recycling. That would be a step-change in the sustainability of battery technology. At the moment it's all out to keep improving battery technology itself in terms of capacity and recharge and discharge rate, but once that starts reaching limits (which it is), it should come down to how to efficiently recycle the battery so both the scrap value of the battery is high, and the production costs of a new battery is low.

Until products are made with the purpose of being easily recyclable, recycling will remain too expensive to compete with the cost of just extracting raw materials. Even if we solve the recycling of battery problems, the scale of waste we create everywhere is not sustainable.

all metal is recycled. it is several orders of magnitude cheaper to recycle than processing ore. you will not find any metal in a landfill but you will find everything else that's not biodegradable, and since there's no looming shortage of plastic, is notably sustainable.
