[Baterai Lithium: Proyek Baterai Lithium Malaysia Changhong Energy Disetujui oleh Mianyang SASAC]

The South Korean government has begun work to establish a system that officially certifies the value of key minerals extracted from waste batteries, such as lithium and nickel, as recycled raw materials. The Ministry of Climate, Energy and Environment announced on June 25 that it signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) for a pilot project on the battery recycled raw material production certification system at the President Hotel in Seoul, with six waste battery recycling companies and the Korea Environment Corporation participating. Through the pilot project, the government plans to verify the certification method in actual production processes before fully implementing the system in May next year. The battery recycled raw material production certification system is a scheme under which the government officially confirms that key battery materials, such as lithium, nickel and cobalt, produced by recycling waste batteries recovered from electric vehicles and other sources are recycled raw materials derived from waste resources. The certification will cover eight types of materials: lithium carbonate, lithium hydroxide, nickel sulfate, cobalt sulfate, manganese sulfate, graphite, mixed metal precipitate and cathode active materials.

Innox Lithium mengumumkan pada 25 Juni bahwa perusahaan telah menandatangani nota kesepahaman (MOU) dengan JS Chem, perusahaan yang mengkhususkan diri dalam produksi litium sulfida, untuk bekerja sama dalam bisnis material baterai padat. Berdasarkan perjanjian tersebut, Innox Lithium akan memasok litium hidroksida dengan kemurnian tinggi yang dibutuhkan untuk memproduksi litium sulfida (Li₂S), sementara JS Chem berencana menggunakan material tersebut untuk membangun rantai pasokan produksi litium sulfida.

Keeps BioPharma mengumumkan pada 24 Juni bahwa anak perusahaannya, Battery Solutions, menandatangani nota kesepahaman (MOU) dengan perusahaan daur ulang baterai asal Korea Selatan, CIS Chemical, untuk bekerja sama dalam bisnis daur ulang baterai bekas LFP. Berdasarkan perjanjian tersebut, Battery Solutions akan menangani proses pra-perlakuan, meliputi pengumpulan baterai bekas, pengosongan daya, pembongkaran, dan pencacahan. CIS Chemical selanjutnya bertanggung jawab atas proses pasca-perlakuan untuk memulihkan logam bernilai utama, seperti litium dan besi fosfat, dari black mass.
