Recently, the company welcomed David Crane, Under Secretary for Infrastructure at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), and Giulia Siccardo, Director of the DOE Office of Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chains (MESC), to tour its expanding lithium-ion battery recycling facility in Lancaster, Ohio.<\/p>\n
The Lancaster facility is a focal point in the DOE\u2019s strategy to build a robust domestic battery manufacturing value chain, increase American competitiveness, and create high-quality jobs.<\/p>\n
Cirba Solutions is investing over $400m in this lithium-ion battery recycling project, with production expected to be operational by 2026.<\/p>\n
Once completed, the facility will produce enough battery-grade metal salts to power more than 250,000 EV batteries annually and will create over 100 new jobs in the region.<\/p>\n
\u201cAcross the nation, more and more communities are experiencing the benefits of an American manufacturing renaissance thanks to President Biden\u2019s Investing in America agenda.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith Cirba Solutions\u2019 first project from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law coming online, Lancaster, Ohio, becomes a strategic focal point in DOE\u2019s efforts to build domestic battery manufacturing value chain, increase American competitiveness, strengthen US supply chains, and create good-paying, high-quality jobs for the Buckeye state.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m proud of the partnership we have created with Cirba Solutions as we reach this extraordinary milestone, and I look forward to our continued collaboration to build a future for Ohioans and all Americans that has never been brighter or cleaner,\u201d said Crane.<\/p>\n
The expansion in Lancaster has been partially funded by a $75m grant from the DOE\u2019s MESC program, a key component of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.<\/p>\n
This collaboration between the government and the private sector underscores the importance of a domestic circular battery supply chain in advancing America\u2019s energy independence and security through lithium-ion battery recycling.<\/p>\n
