Abstract
Bryan HO, the co-founder and CEO of Neu Battery Materials, delves into the critical topic of sustainable battery recycling and the global lithium supply chain. As the world increasingly relies on lithium for energy storage, Bryan highlights the significant influence China holds over lithium mining and refining, controlling a substantial portion of the global supply chain. To counter this dependency, Bryan introduces an innovative solution developed by his team—a patented electrochemical process that recycles batteries using only water and electricity, producing green lithium and hydrogen as by-products. This groundbreaking process not only reduces carbon emissions by five times compared to traditional methods but also offers a cost-effective alternative to mining, with lithium production costs significantly lower than current market rates. The video showcases the operational facility in Singapore, demonstrating the technology's potential for rapid deployment and scalability across different regions. By enabling local production of sustainable lithium, this approach promises to enhance supply chain independence and resilience, aligning with global sustainability goals. Bryan's presentation underscores the importance of moving towards urban mining and the role of innovative technologies in achieving a sustainable and competitive future in energy and mobility.
