How much energy does that require?
- mikeyouse 10y agoMuch less than digging it out of the ground. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/265158823_Paper_No_11-3891_Life-Cycle_Analysis_for_Lithium-Ion_Battery_Production_and_Recycling https://www.researchgate.net/publication/265158823_Paper_No_... > Further, the recycling of Li-ion battery materials potentially reduces the material production energy by as much as 50%. If battery active materials can be recycled in forms suitable for reuse with minimal processing, this percentage reduction could be even higher, as considerable energy is committed to making them from raw materials.
