Ace Green Recycling Sets the Stage for India's Largest LFP Battery Recycling Facility

In a significant move towards enhancing its recycling capabilities, Ace Green Recycling, Inc. has solidified its plans to establish India's largest lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery recycling facility in Mundra, Gujarat. This ambitious project is designed to meet the increasing demand for sustainable recycling solutions in a rapidly growing market. The company, which specializes in eco-friendly battery recycling technologies, aims to position itself as a leader in the green economy, crucial for combating climate change.

Ace's decision to construct the new facility near Mundra port is strategically significant. This location is not only pivotal for its operations but is also conveniently situated to facilitate the transportation of recycling feedstock and output products, benefiting from the port's capacity to manage over 10% of India's maritime cargo. With the operations set to take flight, the facility is expected to process an estimated 10,000 metric tons of LFP batteries annually by 2026.

The innovative facility will employ Ace's proprietary LithiumFirst™ technology, recognized for its environmental benefits. This technology operates at room temperature using a fully electrified hydrometallurgical approach which results in zero Scope 1 carbon emissions, along with the elimination of waste—both liquid and solid. Ace Green Recycling prides itself on achieving lithium recoveries of approximately 75% from recycled LFP batteries, producing lithium carbonate that exceeds 99% purity—critical for battery materials supply chains.

Beyond LFP batteries, this ambitious project includes plans to utilize Ace's GreenLead® recovery technology for lead battery recycling. This revolutionary technique presents a greener alternative to traditional smelting, producing zero Scope 1 emissions and further solidifying Ace's commitment to sustainable practices.

Company executives, including CEO Nishchay Chadha, indicate that the demand for LFP batteries is expected to skyrocket in the coming years, projecting that LFP chemistry will dominate the lithium battery market by 2030. 'By scaling our LFP battery recycling capacity, we position ourselves to support a growing customer base and the sustainability of the battery supply chain,' said Chadha.

Highlighting their competitive edge, the Ace team recently conducted benchmarking visits to similar facilities in China and asserted that their technology is superior, despite China's more developed lithium-ion recycling sector. This confidence is further supported by Chief Technology Officer Vipin Tyagi’s assertion that their LithiumFirst™ technology enables profitable recycling, even amid fluctuating lithium prices. He believes that successful operational testing will pave the way for future collaborations that can maximize the potential of their recycling technology.

Once fully operational, the facility is anticipated to create approximately 50 jobs, adding to the company's footprint in India, where it will then employ over 100 people. This underscores Ace Green Recycling’s commitment not only to environmental sustainability but also to local economic development.

Established in Delaware, Ace Green Recycling aims to provide innovative and sustainable end-of-life solutions for batteries used across various sectors including electronics, automotive, and energy storage. Founded by industry veterans Nishchay Chadha and Dr. Vipin Tyagi, who possess extensive experience in recycling and supply chain management, Ace's vision reflects a growing trend toward sustainable industrial practices in the face of global environmental challenges.
