Ace Green Recycling, a US-based battery recycling technology company, has unveiled plans to set up a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery recycling facility in Gujarat, India, with a capacity of 10,000 metric tons annually by 2026. This initiative aims to create the largest LFP battery recycling operation in the country. The company has secured a site in Mundra, a strategic location near key ports managing over 10% of India’s maritime cargo, optimizing logistics for battery feedstock and recycled materials.
The facility will leverage Ace’s proprietary LithiumFirst technology, a room-temperature hydrometallurgical process that is fully electric and eliminates Scope 1 carbon emissions. It also produces no liquid or solid waste.
Ace’s innovative process achieves approximately 75% lithium recovery from LFP batteries, delivering lithium carbonate with over 99% purity for reuse in the battery supply chain. Additionally, Ace plans to implement its GreenLead recovery technology at the same site to recycle lead batteries using an environmentally friendly process, which offers a clean alternative to traditional smelting methods.
“With LFP set to dominate the lithium battery market by 2030, we are scaling operations to meet demand and support our customers,” said Nishchay Chadha, CEO of Ace Green Recycling. Chief Technology Officer Vipin Tyagi highlighted that the company’s advanced recycling solutions ensure profitability even with current lithium prices, paving the way for collaborations to maximize the potential of their LithiumFirst technology.
