Altilium Metals Ltd

Altilium is UK-based SME focused on developing technologies for the sustainable recovery of high-value materials from end-of-life batteries for reuse in the automotive supply chain. The company has developed a novel hydrometallurgical process for recovery of cathode metals**,** including lithium, and upcycling to produce cathode active materials (CAM), as...

The UK is at the forefront of the transition to an electrified transport sector. However, this transition is dependent on the global market for battery raw materials, with China responsible for the refining of 60-70% of lithium and cobalt found in batteries. Such concentration presents a risk to security of supply, while sustainability factors are also be...

Identified in the Government's Critical Mineral Strategy, Rare Earth Elements (REEs) are vital to the UK's electrification ambitions, forming a critical part of the technology for EV motors and wind turbines. However, their extraction and production often have negative environmental impacts and the UK is currently reliant on China for their supply. Altili...

The UK and Singapore are at the forefront of the transition to an electrified transport sector. However, both countries are dependent on the global market for battery raw materials, with China responsible for the refining of 60-70% of lithium and cobalt found in batteries. Such concentration presents a risk to security of supply, while ESG factors are als...

As the second largest market for EVs in Europe and with the sale of new petrol and diesel cars banned from 2035, the UK is at the forefront of the transition to an electrified transport sector. However, with growing demand for the critical raw materials required for the production of EV batteries and concerns over global supply chains, an industrial scale...

Today, metals needed to produce electric vehicle (EV) batteries are overwhelmingly sourced from large scale mining and/or industrial activities outside Europe at significant environmental, societal and financial cost. Increasing EV demand, the tightening of legislation, and the expected imposition of tariffs are all driving the need for local, resilient, ...

We are conducting a Feasibility Study to explore the potential of recovering rare earth elements from mine tailings using hydrometallurgical processes in the UK. Rare earth elements are critical for various technological applications, including renewable energy, electronics, and electric vehicles. However, their extraction and production often have negati...

Nissan are leading a consortium to both build UK capability for electric vehicle and battery development, whilst innovations within the wider supply chain aim to enhance the cost and value proposition of vehicles for European customers. Vehicle batteries represent a significant investment and cost with substantial in-use and residual value, which the proj...

The global electric vehicle (EV) revolution could create more than 11 million tons of battery waste annually by 2030, enough to fill Wembley Stadium almost 20 times every year. Fortunately, this mountain of battery waste can be avoided by taking a circular economy approach. Furthermore, in 2022, for the first time in a decade, prices of EV batteries have ...
