Green Li-ion says its battery recycling machines are the “size of a small house,” so it’s no wonder the Singapore-based startup needed to top up on funds. It’d only raised about $15 million ahead of its latest cash infusion. This week, Green Li-ion announced a $20.5 million “pre-Series B” round led by climate-tech investor TRIREC. The startup said other investors, including SOSV and Equinor Ventures (the VC arm of the Norway-owned fossil fuel giant), also chipped in. The deal boosts Green…

Coeur d’Alene, Idaho-based KORE Power has chosen Siemens as its infrastructure technology partner for its lithium-ion battery factory – it’s the first US li-ion battery factory to be fully American-owned. Smart li-ion US-owned battery factory The “KOREPlex” is in Buckeye, Arizona. It’s going to create a vital US battery supply for EVs and battery storage, and it’s expected to be complete by late 2024 to early 2025. The 12-GWh battery cell production facility is also going to be smart,…

Battery recycling giant Ecobat is building its first lithium-ion battery recycling facility in North America – its third Li-ion battery recycling facility globally.
