Tatton Consulting supported Plymouth-based EV battery recycling company Altilium in its successful application to Automotive Transformation Fund Feasibility Studies: Round 5, awarded £263,299 by Innovate UK for the project Establishing feasibility of an EV battery recycling plant to recover cathode active material for re-entry into a UK battery supply chain.
About the funded R&D project
A feasibility study for a recycling plant recovering cathode active material, the highest-value component of a lithium-ion cell. Recovering CAM directly, rather than breaking it down to constituent metals and rebuilding it, is what makes the economics of battery recycling work.
