Ace Green Recycling, a provider of sustainable battery recycling technology solutions, has finalized a lease agreement for a site in Mundra, Gujarat, India, to build India's largest battery recycling facility.

The planned facility will build on Ace's existing Indian commercial operations, which have been recycling lithium-ion batteries since 2023, including lithium iron phosphate (LFP) chemistries.

“LFP is expected to dominate the lithium battery market by 2030, and Ace is strategically scaling our LFP battery recycling capacity to meet demand and support our growing customer base,” said Nishchay Chadha, CEO of Ace.

The new facility will utilize Ace's innovative and modular LithiumFirst technology to recycle LFP batteries at room temperature in a fully electrified hydrometallurgical process, producing no Scope 1 carbon emissions, and with zero liquid and solid waste.

Throughout this process, the proprietary recycling technology has maintained commercial lithium recoveries from LFP batteries at levels of around 75%, producing lithium carbonate of purities exceeding 99%, which is fed back into the battery materials value chain.

As a part of this expansion, Ace announced plans to establish 10,000 metric tons of LFP battery recycling capacity per year in India by 2026, to meet the growing demand for LFP battery recycling.

In addition to recycling LFP batteries, Ace plans to use its GreenLead recovery technology to recycle lead batteries at its Mundra recycling park. This technology is a more environmentally-friendly alternative to legacy smelting operations, with its fully electric process producing zero Scope 1 carbon emissions.
