The battery technology startup Britishvolt and its backer, the FTSE 100 metals and mining firm Glencore, have announced plans to build a plant capable of recycling lithium-ion batteries used in cars and electronic devices.
The two firms plan to use 100% renewable energy to recycle batteries at Britannia Refined Metals, owned by Glencore, at a site in Northfleet in Kent that was previously home to the UK’s largest coal-fired power station.
