How many batteries can a TES plant recycle a day?

Known as TES B, the plant can recycle up to 14 metric tons, or the equivalent of 280,000 lithium-ion smartphone batteries, daily using a combination of mechanical equipment and hydrometallurgical processes to recover nickel, lithium and cobalt.

What is the most sustainable battery recycling solution?

The facility uses a combination of mechanic equipment and hydrometallurgical processes to recover precious metals such as nickel, lithium, and cobalt. Partially powered by a 1MwH 2nd life Energy Storage System (ESS) that is fed by 350KwH of rooftop solar panels, it is the most sustainable battery recycling solution of its kind.

How many EV batteries can TES recycle?

TES’ current plant in Tuas recycles about 77.6 tonnes of EV batteries and 76 tonnes of batteries from hybrid vehicles. The total accounts for around 3 per cent of the plant’s annual capacity of 5,000 tonnes. Mr Oh said the new plant will also be able to handle 5,000 tonnes a year. It is slated to start operations in 2025.
