- At several
events, global customers, suppliers, investors, and partners
emphasized continued and sustained need for critical battery
minerals manufacturing within US, Europe, and globally
- CEO highlights
successful advancement of the company’s deployment of lithium-ion
battery recycling facilities and Nevada claystone-to-lithium
hydroxide manufacturing refinery to bring commercial quantities of
battery-grade metals to market
Reno, Nev., January 28, 2025 -- American
Battery Technology Company (NASDAQ: ABAT), an integrated
critical battery materials company that is commercializing its
technologies for both primary battery minerals manufacturing and
secondary minerals lithium-ion battery recycling, was invited to
participate in recent global events including the Future Minerals
Forum in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the World Economic Forum 2025 in
Davos, Switzerland, and the global Round Table on Sustainable
Development in Paris, France.
Ryan Melsert, CEO of American Battery Technology Company (ABTC),
was invited to deliver the keynote address at the global Round
Table on Sustainable Development in Paris last week. This
roundtable consisted of CEOs of global energy and mining
corporations, members of parliament from several nations, and
energy-focused policy makers, and the keynote focused on strategic
catalysts that have facilitated the company’s commercialization and
proliferation of its recycling and critical mineral operations.
Melsert’s engagements highlighted ABTC’s successful and
expanding deployments of its advancements in battery recycling
facilities and innovative claystone-to-lithium hydroxide refinery
processes. The company’s integrated business solutions, which
include recycling, mining, and battery metals manufacturing, aim to
close the loop in battery material manufacturing, pushing toward a
circular battery economy, while advancing America's position in the
global battery value chain.
Batteries are essential to the technologies that define the 21st
century, from electric vehicles and medical devices to critical
defense systems and energy storage. Yet the global supply chain,
dominated by a small group of players, remains concentrated and
unsustainable. While China currently holds a dominant
position across the battery supply chain, ABTC’s work to deploy and
scale new technologies can create an opportunity to localize
operations, ensure supply chain security, and reduce reliance on
external markets.
ABTC has successfully scaled and deployed the initial phase of
its battery recycling technology based on a strategic
de-manufacturing approach that utilizes a deconstruction process
combined with a targeted selective hydrometallurgical process. This
system is agnostic to feedstock form factors and can process
lithium-ion batteries and manufacturing scrap of a variety of sizes
and shapes, and with a wide range of internal chemistries.
Recycling is key to manufacturing domestically-sourced battery
minerals, however recycling alone cannot meet the immediate and
consistent growing demand for battery metals. As a result, ABTC has
also developed a set of claystone-to-lithium hydroxide
manufacturing processes that further demonstrate its ability to
extract and refine battery-grade materials domestically, advancing
U.S. energy independence and reducing reliance on foreign sources.
The growing demand for clean energy technologies has driven a
significant increase in lithium demand in the past year, with
nickel, cobalt, graphite, and rare earth elements following suit.
Yet the global battery supply chain remains geographically
concentrated, often traveling tens of thousands of miles between
extraction, processing, and assembly.
ABTC is working to address these challenges with its leadership
in reshaping the global value chain to ensure a more secure,
sustainable, viable future. By aiming to create regional and
circular value chains, ABTC seeks to increase supply chain
resilience, reduce environmental impact, and foster economic
development from its host communities to global markets.
“Demand for critical battery minerals is accelerating at an
unprecedented pace,” Melsert continued. “Our solutions support the
transition to energy security while fostering ethical and
sustainable practices throughout the global supply chain. This is
not just an opportunity—it’s a responsibility we all share.”
About the Events
The Round Table on Sustainable DevelopmentThe Round Table
on Sustainable Development is hosted by the Organisation for
Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). Chaired by Connie
Hedegaard, former EU Commissioner for Climate Action, it brings
ministers and high-level governmental officials together with
business leaders, senior-level representatives of intergovernmental
and non-governmental organizations, and academic experts to help
tackle complicated sustainability questions that defy negotiated
solutions at the global level.
The World Economic Forum and Events at Davos 2025The
World Economic Forum 2025 in Davos brings together 3,000 leaders
from government, business, civil society, and academia from more
than 130 countries, including over 350 heads of state and
government and ministers to discuss and address local, regional,
and global challenges.
Patch Davos 2025Patch Devos gathers 90 of the world’s
most forward-thinking leaders representing CEOs, deep-tech
investors, and authorities in politics and media to shape the
future of innovation, sustainability, and global security.
Hosted by Njordis Group, a venture capital and advisory firm
dedicated to helping tech companies scale, exists to build a
trusted ecosystem where leaders in exponential technologies and
deep science can engage with influential thinkers, investors, and
shapers of the global economy.
The Future Minerals ForumThe Future Minerals Forum stands
at the forefront of global industry connections, bringing together
governments, international organizations, and stakeholders to
collectively shape the future of minerals. With 14,000 participants
from 178 countries, including 75 government representatives, the
event serves as a catalyst for global collaboration.
