Ascend Elements

Ascend Elements is focused on energy security and building a #domestic supply chain for #sustainable #battery materials. ♻️ 🔋 “Energy security is something that’s of national interest. It doesn’t matter who wins the presidential election, that’s still going to be a priority for whoever is in the White House,” said CEO Mike O'Kronley of Ascend Elements at The Battery Show in Detroit last month.

November is a month for gratitude...and we're thankful to TIME and Statista for recognizing us as one of America's Top 10 Green Tech Companies for 2024. We're not only protecting the environment and keeping used batteries out of landfills, we're making #sustainable #EV #battery materials to power cleaner electric vehicles. #Decarbonized battery materials with up to 90% lower carbon emissions! Congrats to the other companies making the 2024 list. 👇 https://lnkd.in/gfp3a6G2

Amazing collaboration between Freudenberg e-Power Systems and Ascend Elements!

Demand for #sustainable #battery #materials ♻️ 🔋 is growing in both the United States and Europe. CEO Mike O'Kronley was asked recently about Ascend Elements' growth in Europe. Increasing demand from global customers and new regulations in the EU are among the most compelling reasons. "Many of our customers are global in nature. They have a need for circularity of critical battery materials, not only in the United States, but also in Europe."

October is Manufacturing Month and we're celebrating commercial-scale #manufacturing of #EV #battery materials in the United States! 🔋 ♻️ Learn more about our innovative Hydro-to-Cathode® direct precursor synthesis process, which transforms today’s Lithium-ion battery waste into high-value, sustainable materials for tomorrow’s electric vehicles. 👇 https://lnkd.in/gRAF2S4T

We’re honored to be recognized in the Reducing Emissions category of the 2024 Automotive D.R.I.V.E. Honours from Reuters Events. This award recognizes organizations making a #sustainable impact by reducing carbon #emissions, creating #EV solutions, and/or #recycling. We’re proud to be recognized alongside SK On and Polestar. Our Hydro-to-Cathode® direct precursor synthesis process manufactures new EV battery cathode active material (CAM) from recycled content with 49% lower carbon emissions compared to traditional methods and primary material from mining. By 2030, we aim to achieve a 90% lower carbon footprint! Marketing manager Sarah Jose attended the awards ceremony in Detroit to collect our trophy on Monday. It’s exciting to see the judges acknowledge our efforts, “Ascend Elements is targeting an area of high importance. Recycling #battery materials in a cost- and environmentally-efficient way is crucial to achieving a sustainable transition to #EVs. The quality of the company and its processes appears to be validated based on acknowledgments from governments and private investors alike. Impressive track record so far.” Learn more about the Automotive D.R.I.V.E. Honours for 2024. 👇 https://lnkd.in/e9CVj6C8

Ascend Elements’ Michael Coraci and Freudenberg’s Kevin Dahlberg team up to discuss the #engineering and manufacturing of high-performance #battery materials with a low carbon footprint. Join them next week at the CARES - Future in the Making Technical Forum in Dearborn, Michigan. https://lnkd.in/gBimR44h

100,000 #EV #batteries per year. With 42,000 metric tons of #Lithium-ion battery recycling capacity in the United States and Europe, Ascend Elements and AE Elemental can recycle nearly 100,000 used EV #battery packs per year. Learn more about our advanced battery #recycling facilities in Covington, Georgia and our joint venture with Elemental Strategic Metals in Zawiercie, Poland. 👇 https://aeelemental.com/ https://lnkd.in/gMCRZpyK By recycling lithium-ion batteries, we keep potentially hazardous materials out of landfills while creating a new, domestic source of decarbonized battery materials.

Recycling keeps used and damaged lithium-ion #batteries out of landfills, which is essential, but it also provides a new, sustainable source of critical battery materials so #electric #vehicle OEMs can build cleaner #EVs. 🔋 ♻️ Meet the teams of #engineers and #chemists at Ascend Elements who are making North America's first #decarbonized cathode precursor (pCAM) and cathode active material (CAM) to be used in a commercial vehicle battery application. By using our patented Hydro-to-Cathode® direct #precursor synthesis technology and #recycled #battery materials, we can reduce the carbon emissions associated with #cathode manufacturing by up to 90% compared to traditional methods and primary metals from mining. Read more about the first #commercial shipments of U.S.-made, #sustainable pCAM and CAM to Freudenberg e-Power Systems! 👇 https://lnkd.in/ggUu5tAv
