on the Lithium-Ion Battery Recycling Prize. David Howell, Acting Director of the Vehicle Technologies Office will provide an overview of the goals and vision for the prize. Followed by an overview of the rules, timing, and tracks for submission. The
<span class="details">Lithium-Ion Battery Recycling Prize is a $5.5-million phased prize competition designed to incentivize American entrepreneurs to develop and demonstrate processes that, when scaled, have the potential to profitably capture 90% of all discarded
or spent lithium-based batteries in the United States for eventual recovery of key materials for re-introduction into the U.S. supply chain.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
