At Camp Hall in Berkeley County, Redwood will recycle, refine and manufacture anode and cathode components on more than 600 acres, creating more than 1,500 jobs and investing $3.5 billion in the local community. Eventually, this campus will produce 100 GWh of cathode and anode components per year –enough to power more than one million EVs.

In the next decade, global demand for lithium-ion batteries is projected to grow by more than 500% as more climate-change-combatting products are created.

Panasonic will source Redwood’s cathode material for battery cell production in Panasonic’s new Kansas plant, targeted to come online in 2025. This will be the first time cathode has been produced in North America at Gigafactory scale and used in U.S. battery cell manufacturing.

Less than 5% of lithium-ion battery-containing devices get recycled, mainly because clear recycling pathways don’t exist. Redwood and Audi see a tremendous opportunity to create these pathways, allow consumers to recycle their batteries, and then use these batteries to domestically remanufacture new, sustainable electric vehicle batteries.

Redwood Materials and Audi want to collect your old household electronic devices and turn them into EV batteries.

Redwood Materials is an example of a U.S. company taking rather interesting steps, going from simply selling raw materials to other suppliers to progressing toward the production of its own cathode materials.

By Christopher Gannatti, CFA Global Head of Research Many aspects of modern life that we all have become accustomed to depend on a steady supply of energy. Similar to how the concept of Moore’s Law has led to thinking that we can almost always expect more computing power, it’s possible that we w...
