the u.s. department of energy said the grants will follow u.s. electric vehicle tax credit rules and increase production of advanced batteries and battery materials.

the department said the awards, which provide funding for battery-grade processing of critical minerals, components, battery manufacturing and recycling, will result in $16 billion in total investment in these projects and support 12,000 production and construction jobs.

“mineral security is critical to climate security, as it provides the foundation for us to lead the next generation of battery technology, from solid-state batteries to other new chemistries,” said white house climate adviser ali zaidi.

it home attaches the information of several major companies as follows:

albemarle will receive $67 million for a project in north carolina to produce commercial quantities of cathode materials for next-generation lithium-ion batteries;

honeywell will receive $126.6 million to build a commercial-scale plant in louisiana to produce a key electrolyte salt needed for lithium-ion batteries.

dow to receive $100 million to produce battery-grade carbonate solvents for lithium-ion battery electrolytes

clarios circular solutions will receive $150 million for a project in south carolina to recycle waste from lithium-ion batteries produced by sk innovation's battery unit sk on.

swa lithium received $225 million for its direct lithium extraction (dle) technology to produce lithium carbonate.

terravolta resources received $225 million to produce lithium from brine using dle.

revex technologies will receive $145 million to build three facilities in michigan to convert waste from the only operating primary nickel mine in the united states into nickel production, enough to produce at least 462,000 electric vehicle batteries per year.
