Our Approach

Sustainability

Sustainably Sourced. Sustainably Made.

Sustainability drives every step of the battery manufacturing process from sourcing to manufacturing to end-of-life battery recycling. We will source critical raw materials locally and responsibly, utilize clean renewable energy, design our Gigafactory to operate efficiently and sustainably, and recycle scrap material.

Gigafactories Go Green

Our goal is to reduce the environmental impact of battery production by adopting best-in-class architectural and engineering solutions:

Statevolt’s planned partnership with CTR brings a new, ‘hyperlocal’ sustainable business model for lithium-ion battery development in the U.S. The arrangement is one of the first of its kind in the world and will see the business source its key feedstock, lithium, and its power from local resources, in order to minimize the environmental impact of production and build a more sustainable and secure supply chain. CTR’s process has the highest sustainability attributes available. It utilizes 100% renewable energy and steam, significantly reducing the time to produce battery-grade lithium products while eliminating all overseas processing.
  • Uses a closed-loop system that returns the brine after lithium recovery to the geothermal reservoir.

  • Utilizes 100% renewable power and steam to process battery-grade lithium products in one U.S. location.
  • Has a very small physical footprint, close-to-zero carbon footprint, and zero landfill or tailings.

  • No open pit mines or evaporation ponds, or any offshore processing.

  • Is weather independent and can operate 24 hours a day.

Coming Full Circle

To achieve sustainable production methods, Statevolt is enacting a closed-loop production process focusing on on-site scrap in the first years of production to minimize waste of precious raw material. Our goal is to target battery recycling in further stages of production.
