    • Energy.gov . Biden-Harris Administration Announces $62 Million to Lower Battery Recycling Costs Across the Nation . President Biden’s Investing in America Agenda Invests in Projects That Will Reduce Costs for Consumer Battery Recycling, Making EVs More Affordable and Boosting Our Domestic Supply Chains WASHINGTON, D.C. — As part of President Biden’s Investing in America  agenda , the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced $62 million for 17 projects funded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to increase consumer participation in consumer electronics battery recycling and improve the economics of battery recycling. Under the Biden-Harris Administration, electric vehicle (EV) sales have quadrupled, reaching record high levels of more than 1.4 million sales last year. With demand for electric vehicles (EVs) and stationary energy storage projected to expand the lithium battery market as much as ten-fold by 2030, investments in sustainable, reduced-cost recycling of consumer batteries are critical to securing the domestic materials supply chain to meet that demand. Recycling used batteries reduces demand for new materials and allows our domestic industry to produce at lower costs, supporting the Biden-Harris Administration’s goals of creating a more sustainable battery supply chain and having EVs make up half of all vehicles sales in America by 2030. “Capturing the full battery supply chain—from sourcing critical materials to manufacturing to recycling—puts the U.S. in the driver’s seat as we build our clean energy economy,” said U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm . “With the historic support in President Biden’s Investing in America agenda, we are creating a sustainable, circular supply chain that lowers costs for consumers and boosts our manufacturing global competitive edge.” The 17 projects selected for  DOE’s Consumer Electronics Battery Recycling, Reprocessing, and Battery Collection funding opportunity are an essential part of the $7 billion in total authorized by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to grow and secure America’s battery supply chain. Today’s announcement includes: Expanding Participation in Consumer Electronics Recycling:  Increasing collection of end-of-life consumer electronics and stand-alone batteries for recycling is a key element in developing a sustainable domestic source of battery-grade materials. Four projects were selected to do this through student education and outreach, including e-waste collection events, representing $14.4 million in funding. . Improving the Economics of Recycling Consumer Electronics Batteries: Generating greater market demand for recycling consumer electronics batteries through innovative, cost-saving approaches to pre-processing and sorting. Seven projects were selected to do this through approaches including artificial intelligence and automated sorting, representing $40.1 million in funding.   . Establishing Programs to Collect Consumer Electronics Batteries: Implementing projects that will assist States and local governments in the initiation or enhancement of battery collection, recycling, and reprocessing. Six projects were selected to do this through approaches including battery collection drop-off programs and deploying battery storage and sorting facilities, representing $7.2 million in funding.  . Projects selected for this funding must advance diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility; contribute to energy equity; and invest in America’s workforce. This funding – which will be administered by DOE’s Vehicle Technologies Office (VTO) and Office of Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chains (MESC) – supports goals and targets detailed in the Federal Consortium for Advanced Batteries’ (FCAB)  National Blueprint for Lithium Batteries . Continuing to Build Up a Domestic Battery Supply Chain The funding announced today builds on previously announced investments from President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to strengthen the domestic battery supply chain by supporting upstream materials processing to create the precursor materials for batteries including the more than $74 million  announced to date to advance EV battery recycling and second-life applications. DOE is continuing to invest in recycling in support of a secure, domestic supply chain for critical materials. MESC recently  announced up to $16 million to boost collection on used (spent) consumer batteries at retailers. DOE is seeking projects led by retailers to create or expand to collect, sort, store, and transport consumer electronics batteries and battery-containing devices. Applications are due on April 9, 2024, at 5 p.m. ET. DOE also recently  announced a new prize focusing on increasing the production and use of critical materials recovered from electronic scrap. The Electronics Scrap Recycling Advancement Prize (E-SCRAP) is a three-phase competition that will award up to $4 million to competitors.  Find out more information about this prize opportunity. Learn more about the projects selected for award negotiation  here , and learn more about  VTO and MESC . Selection for award negotiations is not a commitment by DOE to issue an award or provide funding. Before funding is issued, DOE and the applicants will undergo a negotiation process, and DOE may cancel award negotiations and rescind the selection for any reason during that time. ### .

The Cleanup to Clean Energy initiative aims to repurpose parts of DOE-owned lands—portions of which were previously used in the nation’s nuclear weapons program—to support the growth of America’s clean energy economy. Today’s announcement reinforces the Biden-Harris Administration’s whole-of-government approach to leveraging federal properties to increase the deployment of clean power through the buildout of utility-scale clean energy projects.    “Since the beginning of the Biden-Harris Administration, we’ve added nearly 90 gigawatts of solar capacity to the grid—enough to power roughly 13 million homes—and we're building on this historic progress with another massive solar project," said U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm. “With today's announcement, DOE is transforming thousands of acres of land at our Hanford site into a thriving center of carbon-free solar power generation, leading by example in cleaning up our environment and delivering new economic opportunities to local communities.” “Through today’s announcement by the Department of Energy, the Biden-Harris Administration continues to lead by example on building a clean energy economy and carbon pollution-free future,” said Brenda Mallory, Chair of the White House Council on Environmental Quality. “Expanding clean energy generation creates good-paying jobs, protects the environment, and supports healthier communities across the country.” Working with a diverse range of entities, including industry, other Federal agencies, tribes, state and local officials, DOE, through its Cleanup to Clean Energy initiative, is helping achieve President Biden’s ambitious climate goals and responding to the directive in Executive Order 14057 and the accompanying Federal Sustainability Plan for agencies to use their properties for the development of new clean electricity generation.   Hecate Energy, LLC will have the opportunity to negotiate a realty agreement for up to 8,000 acres at Hanford that DOE is making available for development of a gigawatt-scale solar photovoltaic system with battery storage. The selection was made through a competitive qualifications-based process for evaluating and ranking proposals. The selection comes after public comments on a request for information in August 2023, a Cleanup to Clean Energy information day at Hanford in September 2023, and a request for qualifications issued in March 2024. DOE and Hecate Energy will undergo a negotiation process for a realty agreement, and DOE may cancel negotiations and rescind the selection for any reason during that time.       In December 2021, President Biden signed Executive Order 14057, which calls on agencies to achieve 100% clean electricity by 2030 and directs them to authorize use of their real property assets, including land for the development of new clean electricity generation and storage through leases, grants, permits, or other mechanisms.  Since announcing the Cleanup to Clean Energy initiative in July 2023, last year, DOE has announced the selection of developers for carbon pollution-free electricity projects in Idaho, Nevada, South Carolina, and now in Washington state. Home to the Hanford Site, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, a vibrant community and Tribal Nations, this part of Washington state has been critical to our nation for decades and is well positioned to become a center of carbon-free power solutions. In addition to supporting the Administration’s clean energy goals, this project has the potential to benefit the Hanford site, Tribal Nations, and surrounding communities, while complementing local efforts to plan for the future. DOE will complete environmental review and applicable regulatory processes, and continue to communicate and partner with industry, Tribal Nations, communities, stakeholders, regulators, and others as clean energy projects are developed on DOE land. More information on the Cleanup to Clean Energy initiative can be found here. ### Media Inquiries:(202) 586-4940 or DOENews@hq.doe.govRead more at theenergy.gov Newsroom 1000 Independence Ave. SW Washington DC 20585 202-586-5000 Sign Up for Email Updates Facebook Twitter Youtube Instagram Linkedin About energy.gov History DOE STEM Careers Contact Us Energy.gov Resources Budget & Performance Covid-19 Response Directives, Delegations & Requirements FOIA Inspector General Privacy Program Small Business Federal Government The White House USA.gov Vote.gov Web Policies Privacy No Fear Act Whistleblower Protection Notice of EEO Findings of Discrimination Information Quality Open Gov Accessibility Vulnerability Disclosure Program
