Battery recycling innovation surging as countries seek to strengthen critical mineral supply and energy security - News from the International Energy Agency

02/05/2026

Reuters reports the launch of Project Vault, a new $12B critical-minerals stockpile initiative, underscoring the urgency of reliable U.S. sourcing and processing capacity.

American Resources and ReElement Technologies are building U.S.-based refining and end-of-life recovery capacity that reduces single-point-of-failure risk across critical minerals supply chains.

Thank you to Plant Services and managing editor Anna Townshend for featuring American Resources (NASDAQ: AREC) and CFO/co-founder Kirk Taylor on why grid instability is now a maintenance, reliability, and asset health issue. He stresses taking practical mitigation steps during facility design to decrease vulnerabilities.

The piece opens with American Resources and then digs deeper into how our portfolio company, ReElement Technologies, is advancing critical mineral and rare earth refining. It makes a practical business case for plant designers and engineers to think differently about resilient power, and the materials that enable it, including solutions manufactured with recycled and reclaimed feedstocks.

Kirk put it plainly: “The location of demand, not matching the location of the supply of energy, is the biggest challenge.”

Key points
🔷 Clarifying the platform: American Resources has a broad raw materials footprint, including recycling aggregated ferrous and non-ferrous metals for new steel. ReElement Technologies focuses on separating and purifying critical materials, including rare earths and battery metals.

🔷 Design resilience upfront: energy resilience belongs in engineering, site selection, and capacity planning, not in the “fix it later” category.

🔷 Asset health is on the line: voltage variability, surges, drops, and outages accelerate wear, increase maintenance cost, and drive unplanned downtime.

🔷 Practical mitigation options: microgrids, storage, and on-site power can buffer equipment from grid variability and protect uptime.

🔷 Start inside the fence line: map energy-sensitive unit operations, then build redundancy where the risk and ROI are clearest.

Taylor also noted, “We’ve always included energy resilience on the front end of the engineering.”

Reports are out that the U.S. is stepping away from price floors for critical minerals — an important signal that long-term competitiveness must be built on economics, not subsidies.

At ReElement Technologies and American Resources Corporation - we don’t build our business on price floors. We build it on cost competitiveness.

Our multi-mineral, multi-feedstock refining platform is designed to compete head-to-head in global markets. By operating with low chemical use, lower environmental impact, and a smaller physical footprint, we achieve meaningfully lower CapEx and OpEx than legacy refining methods.

The critical minerals industry is still early, and clarity matters. Supply-chain resilience will be achieved through collaboration and innovation — not imitation.

Our focus is on building durable, scalable solutions that enable true U.S. and allied mineral independence.

Silver was inflated and ran up to a ridiculous number. When it was going up 5% a day where were you commenting on its unsupported rise.

🚨 THE $3.4 🚨 was just made, and not in a good way. In a brutal 20-minute window, and wiped out over $3.4 in value. We just witnessed a " ." After Gold peaked at an eye-watering $5,597, the floor fell out. Forced liquidations and extreme volatility sent prices into a freefall, shaking the "safe haven" to its core.
​📉 THE DAMAGE:
​Gold: Plunged 8.7% from its peak.
​Silver: Sank 12% after hitting a record $121/oz.
​Value Lost: Over $3,400,000,000,000 vanished in minutes.

American Resources is starting 2026 with real traction in the circular critical minerals supply chain.

Our wholly owned subsidiary, Electrified Materials Corporation (EMCO), has commenced receiving initial 2026 shipments of end-of-life lithium-ion batteries at our Noblesville, Indiana disposition site, supporting a growing wave of batteries reaching end-of-life across EVs, energy storage, consumer electronics, and manufacturing scrap.

🔷 Aggregation and compliant disposition across multiple battery chemistries, including LFP and nickel- and cobalt-bearing systems
🔷 Preprocessing and conditioning designed to recover and prepare high-value elements, including lithium, cobalt, copper, and nickel
🔷 Conditioned materials supplied to ReElement Technologies to support a closed-loop, recycling-to-refining pathway

This is what domestic scale-up looks like: practical logistics, real material flow, and an integrated platform that strengthens U.S. supply chain resilience.

(NASDAQ: AREC), through its minority ownership in ReElement Technologies, announced the closing of a $200 million strategic equity facility with Transition Equity Partners to fund the scalable platform for heavy rare earths, defense minerals, and magnet supply chains.

The investment supports the commercial buildout of ReElement’s Marion, Indiana, facility, which is engineered to process recycled feedstocks and mined mixed rare earth concentrates into light and heavy rare earths and other defense-critical minerals. With third-party capital, the Marion site is expected to scale beyond 10,000 metric tons per annum and serve as the anchor for additional domestic and international facilities.

For AREC, this transaction advances its strategy of gaining scaled exposure to downstream critical mineral refining and magnet supply chains while maintaining capital discipline at the parent level.

Why this matters
✅ Validates the strategic value of AREC’s minority ownership in ReElement
✅ Enables commercial-scale capacity at Marion without balance-sheet dilution at AREC
✅ Expands U.S. refining of heavy rare earths including terbium, dysprosium, yttrium, and gadolinium
✅ Supports vertically integrated domestic magnet and defense supply chains with Vulcan Elements and U.S. government partners
✅ Positions AREC for participation in global expansion across allied markets
This milestone reinforces AREC’s portfolio approach to building long-term exposure to critical mineral infrastructure aligned with U.S. industrial, defense, and energy priorities.
