The U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy awarded a $7,222,072 Project Grant under the Conservation Research and Development program (CFDA 81.086) to Reaction Engineering International (REI) on October 1, 2024. The grant will fund the development of a clean and affordable low-temperature thermal method to preprocess end-of-life lithium-ion batteries from consumer devices. The project aims to create an innovative technology solution that can help address the growing challenge of lithium-ion battery recycling and contribute to the United States' transition towards more sustainable energy systems. As the prime awardee, REI will leverage its expertise in combustion, emissions control, and environmental remediation to advance this research and development initiative over the one-year project period through September 2025.
