The U.S. Department of Energy is seeking public input to inform the design and implementation of battery recycling provisions of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
The department seeks input on how federal investments can help accelerate the collection, transportation, processing and recycling of batteries and scrap materials; enable second-life applications of lithium-ion batteries previously used to power electric vehicles; and support high-quality jobs for American workers. The department also seeks input on how the program can support equity, environmental and energy justice principles and priorities.
Input is requested specific to the Lithium-Ion Battery Recycling Prize (BIL 40207(e)); Battery and Critical Mineral Recycling: Battery Recycling Research, Development, and Demonstration Grants (BIL 40207, sections F 2, 3, and 4); and the Electric Drive Vehicle Battery Recycling and Second-Life Applications Program (BIL 40208).
The survey is open through Oct. 14, and respondents may answer as many or as few questions as they wish. Responses may be sent to bil-batterymanufacturing@hq.doe.gov with “BIL-Battery Recycling RFI” in the subject line.
The RFI and instructions are available online.
