ABTC engages with global industry audiences on the scale-up and commercialization of critical battery mineral manufacturing processes
Reno, Nev., Jan. 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --- At several events, global customers, suppliers, investors, and partners emphasized continued and sustained need for critical battery minerals manufacturing within US, Europe, and globally
- CEO highlights successful advancement of the company’s deployment of lithium-ion battery recycling facilities and Nevada claystone-to-lithium hydroxide manufacturing refinery to bring commercial quantities of battery-grade metals to market
Reno, Nev., January 28, 2025 -- American Battery Technology Company (NASDAQ: ABAT), an integrated critical battery materials company that is commercializing its technologies for both primary battery minerals manufacturing and secondary minerals lithium-ion battery recycling, was invited to participate in recent global events including the Future Minerals Forum in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the World Economic Forum 2025 in Davos, Switzerland, and the global Round Table on Sustainable Development in Paris, France.
Ryan Melsert, CEO of American Battery Technology Company (ABTC), was invited to deliver the keynote address at the global Round Table on Sustainable Development in Paris last week. This roundtable consisted of CEOs of global energy and mining corporations, members of parliament from several nations, and energy-focused policy makers, and the keynote focused on strategic catalysts that have facilitated the company’s commercialization and proliferation of its recycling and critical mineral operations.
Melsert’s engagements highlighted ABTC’s successful and expanding deployments of its advancements in battery recycling facilities and innovative claystone-to-lithium hydroxide refinery processes. The company’s integrated business solutions, which include recycling, mining, and battery metals manufacturing, aim to close the loop in battery material manufacturing, pushing toward a circular battery economy, while advancing America's position in the global battery value chain.
Batteries are essential to the technologies that define the 21st century, from electric vehicles and medical devices to critical defense systems and energy storage. Yet the global supply chain, dominated by a small group of players, remains concentrated and unsustainable. While China currently holds a dominant position across the battery supply chain, ABTC’s work to deploy and scale new technologies can create an opportunity to localize operations, ensure supply chain security, and reduce reliance on external markets.
ABTC has successfully scaled and deployed the initial phase of its battery recycling technology based on a strategic de-manufacturing approach that utilizes a deconstruction process combined with a targeted selective hydrometallurgical process. This system is agnostic to feedstock form factors and can process lithium-ion batteries and manufacturing scrap of a variety of sizes and shapes, and with a wide range of internal chemistries.
Recycling is key to manufacturing domestically-sourced battery minerals, however recycling alone cannot meet the immediate and consistent growing demand for battery metals. As a result, ABTC has also developed a set of claystone-to-lithium hydroxide manufacturing processes that further demonstrate its ability to extract and refine battery-grade materials domestically, advancing U.S. energy independence and reducing reliance on foreign sources.
The growing demand for clean energy technologies has driven a significant increase in lithium demand in the past year, with nickel, cobalt, graphite, and rare earth elements following suit. Yet the global battery supply chain remains geographically concentrated, often traveling tens of thousands of miles between extraction, processing, and assembly.
ABTC is working to address these challenges with its leadership in reshaping the global value chain to ensure a more secure, sustainable, viable future. By aiming to create regional and circular value chains, ABTC seeks to increase supply chain resilience, reduce environmental impact, and foster economic development from its host communities to global markets.
“Demand for critical battery minerals is accelerating at an unprecedented pace,” Melsert continued. “Our solutions support the transition to energy security while fostering ethical and sustainable practices throughout the global supply chain. This is not just an opportunity—it’s a responsibility we all share.”
