The REMADE project focuses on Nyobolt’s ultra-fast charging battery technology and utilises Altilium\u2019s advanced battery recycling capability, along with Talga\u2019s expertise in graphite purification and active anode material production.<\/p>\n
The project will support the growth of sustainable, high-performance battery production and strengthen the UK\u2019s energy security and industrial resilience.<\/p>\n
By demonstrating the technical and commercial viability of a circular supply chain for anode materials in next generation battery cells, the initiative will help reduce reliance on imported raw materials while lowering the carbon footprint associated with battery production.<\/p>\n
Altilium will lead on the recycling and recovery of Nyobolt\u2019s proprietary anode materials, including graphite and niobium tungsten oxide (NWO), from end-of-life EV batteries and battery manufacturing scrap. Talga will refine this recycled graphite feedstock to produce battery grade high specification graphite, and the recovered NWO and graphite will be further reconditioned by Nyobolt to produce ultra-fast charging, high-performance batteries. A leading automotive OEM will provide oversight and alignment with future automotive requirements.<\/p>\n
With lithium-ion battery demand accelerating, the project directly addresses critical gaps in the UK battery value chain. Graphite is a key component in battery anodes and demand is set to reach 72,000 tonnes per year by 2035, according to forecasts by the Advanced Propulsion Centre. Currently the UK depends almost entirely on graphite imports, with China supplying 99 percent of the world\u2019s battery graphite and anode technology.<\/p>\n
Fast charging is also a key enabler for electrification and adoption in multiple sectors. Establishing a local high performance battery supply chain from recycled materials presents a significant opportunity for the UK.<\/p>\n
\u201cThrough the REMADE project, we are showing how recycled battery waste can become a sustainable domestic source of critical anode materials for next-generation batteries, helping build a more resilient and low carbon UK battery supply chain\u201d said Dr Christian Marston, Altilium COO.<\/p>\n
Current recycling processes are largely focused on recovery of cathode materials, with the graphite typically ending up as waste. Altilium\u2019s proprietary EcoAnode process can recover 99 percent of the graphite from end-of-life battery waste, with up to 77 percent lower emissions compared to primary mining and refining.<\/p>\n
Nyobolt\u2019s advanced lithium-ion batteries charge to 80 percent in less than 5 minutes, while its high-power-density technology enables smaller, lighter battery packs, decreasing the demand for raw materials and lowering lifecycle emissions.<\/p>\n
\u201cREMADE brings together breakthrough materials engineering and system-level thinking to reshape how batteries are made\u201d added Anna Wise, Head of Strategy at Nyobolt. \u201cWe\u2019re excited to collaborate with Altilium and Talga to prove that circularity can enhance performance as well as sustainability\u201d<\/p>\n
Talga\u2019s high-performance active anode materials enable faster charging and higher power batteries, with a wholly owned natural and recycled graphite anode production platform supporting lower emissions and ensuring supply security.<\/p>\n
The Battery Innovation Programme, a UK government funded programme, delivered by Innovate UK and supported by the Department for Business and Trade, as part of the government\u2019s Industrial Strategy, is a \u00a3452 million programme running from 2026 to 2030. It is designed to grow the UK economy by accelerating battery innovation and enhancing the nation\u2019s global competitiveness across automotive, aerospace, off-highway, storage and maritime.<\/p>\n
