Beginning in 2021, President Biden has described the development of domestic supply chains for critical minerals, including through efficient battery processing, recycling and manufacturing, as a national priority.

As part of the U.S. Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, allocations towards batteries encompass a battery material processing grant program and EV battery R&D. Two primary provisions focused on battery processing and manufacturing as well as EV battery recycling and a second-life applications program are allocated a total budget of USD 6.325 billion.

Sec 40207. Battery processing and manufacturing

The section directs the Secretary of Energy to issue grants for the support, construction, and improvement of battery material processing demonstration projects and facilities as well as for battery component manufacturing and recycling demonstration projects and facilities. Additionally, the section authorises the awarding of grants for states and local government to assist with battery collection, recycling, and reprocessing.

The section also requires the Secretary of Energy to establish a task force to develop an extended battery producer responsibility framework to address battery recycling goals, mandatory recycling, product design, collection models, transportation of collected materials, and related regulations.

Sec 40208. Electric drive vehicle battery recycling and second-life applications program

The section directs the Secretary of Energy to establish a research, development, and demonstration program for electric drive vehicle battery recycling and second-life applications. The program will award grants for solutions and projects to increase electric drive vehicle battery recycling and second-use, including the recovery of critical minerals. The section also directs the Secretary of Energy to report to Congress on the market opportunities for the recycling, second-use, and manufacturing of electric drive vehicle batteries in the United States.

Hormuz Oil Crisis Accelerates Global EV Sales

Global electric vehicle sales have surged this year following the oil supply disruption in the Middle East and the second oil price shock in four years. The accelerating EV adoption that began with the spike in oil and fuel prices earlier this year is set to remain a trend in the global markets and could push the share of EVs in the passenger fleet above earlier expectations, analysts at Wood Mackenzie say. Challenges to accelerated adoption still remain, including the need for billions of U.S. dollars in investments in critical battery minerals…

Washington Eases Gasoline Rules as Iran Pressure Campaign Jolts Fuel Costs

Washington is tightening the screws on Iran and loosening the rules on gasoline at the same time as Americans are paying more than $4 a gallon. The Environmental Protection Agency on Thursday authorized an early switch to cheaper winter-grade gasoline, allowing sales of gasoline blended with 10% ethanol beginning September 1 rather than waiting for the normal mid-September seasonal transition. The administration says ending summer-blend requirements early could add hundreds of thousands of barrels per day to domestic gasoline supply and provide…

How Solar Panel Prices Fell 90 Percent In 15 Years

Solar power is far and away the world’s fastest-growing form of energy production, beating out every other form of energy on Earth in 2025. Despite a recent political pivot away from renewable energies in the world’s largest economy, solar power additions continue to shatter its own records year over year as the sector has long since outgrown any need for subsidies. Solar power has simply become too cheap to fail. “We have a plentiful and cheap source of electricity that can be built quickly, almost anywhere in the world,”…
