If the clean energy transition is going to happen, a massive amount of batteries will be needed.
Many will be manufactured, but just as many will be recycled to power the increasing number of electric vehicles and storage facilities needed to make the switch to sustainable energy.
The U.S. Department of Energy recently distributed $74 million from the recently enacted Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act to advance the reuse of batteries. Of that, $16 million went to a pair of San Diego area research groups.
