We are pleased to announce that Rare Metals has signed an agreement with the Wałbrzych Special Economic Zone.
At the end of March 2022 in Poland we had less than 43.5 thousand electric cars. Is this result which is satisfying for us?
The topic is very hot and we can argue about it endlessly. One thing is certain - the number of electric cars will be growing and in the same time on the market will appear parts that can be reused - all for the benefit of the environment.
We are pleased to announce that our company Rare Metals Sp. z o.o. - Recycling for Elektromobilności and Automotive today signed a decision on support with the Wałbrzych Special Economic Zone "INVEST-PARK". We are starting the construction of a modern lithium-ion (li-ion) battery processing plant, components for their production, and comprehensive service for this segment.
Electric cars: are they green?
In Poland, more and more people are opting for electric cars - more than 80,000 vehicles are already on our roads powered by electricity or as plug-in hybrids. However, myths and stereotypes still surround them. Are electric cars really green and are they worth buying?
More CO2 is indeed generated in the production process of e-autos than in the creation of combustion cars, mainly due to EV batteries. However, in the use of electric cars, "electrics" have the advantage, becoming greener over the years. After driving tens of thousands of kilometers, the balance of CO2 emissions is more favorable for "electrics," especially when using energy from RES.
Is it worth investing in an electric car?
You need to consider the price of the vehicle, which can be slightly more expensive than internal combustion cars, but government subsidies help make up the difference. The cost of using an e-car depends on the electricity rate. Charging at home is cheaper than at public stations.
In addition, electric cars require fewer repairs and have lower service costs, resulting in higher profitability. There are also numerous benefits for e-car owners, such as exemption from parking fees and bus pass entitlement.
Thus, there are financial and environmental benefits to choosing an electric car, which makes this eco-friendly future decision well worth it!
Electric revolution on Polish roads! As of the end of June 2023, there were 45,214 electric vehicles in Poland, of which 11,489 were registered in the first half of this year - an increase of 72% compared to 2022. The fleet of electric cars continues to grow: we already have 80,232 electric passenger cars. This is just the beginning, the number of electric vehicles continues to grow, and the charging infrastructure is developing along with them.
Shifting to electric vehicles is a step towards a green future!
A discovery that could change the future of mobility! Australian company Li-S Energy has created a revolutionary lithium-sulfur cell with 20 layers, achieving an energy density of 0.4 kWh/kg and 0.54 kWh/l. This means that this new cell can store more energy in the same unit of volume compared to a classic Li-ion cell.
The use of this new cell could open the door to innovative commercial solutions in mobility and energy technologies. We look forward to the next steps and see how this cell will revolutionize the battery market.
Safe battery warehouse
We are implementing the Safe battery warehouse project, the purpose of which is to store, on our own or at the customer’s premises, batteries with limited trust. The advantage of safe warehouses is the possibility of delivering them to the place indicated by the customer, in order to load and transport batteries, entire battery blocks and other elements to the recycling plant.
Safe battery warehouse – they are equipped with a special monitoring and fire safety system, which is the company’s know-how and is currently in the pre-patent phase.
Li-ion Batteries
Along with the development of electromobility, the production of lithium-ion batteries containing nickel and cobalt (cobalt) begins on a large scale. During their production, batteries that do not meet the technological requirements, waste, raw materials, batch ends and all kinds of materials containing valuable and no longer suitable for current production production slopes are created.
Battery processing
We specialize in the recovery and recycling of this waste. We are able to guarantee reliable cooperation and competitive financial conditions, corresponding to the real content of the materials provided. We have permits for their development.
Technologies used
The technology of recovery and recycling implemented by us allows us to obtain the purity of materials in the obtained raw materials at the level of 92% -98%, broken down into raw materials such as black mass, containing key elements such as cobalt, nickel, lithium and others, such as copper and aluminum.
95%
material can be reused after recycling lithium-ion batteries
98%
that many batteries can be recycled
Spread the use of renewable energy sources
Promote the electrification of transport
Close the battery life cycle loop
Reduce the environmental impact of Li-ion batteries
We create the future together
Join us. Thanks to the technologies we use and a qualified team, we constantly raise the bar in the pursuit of maximum satisfaction of our partners.
