We’re building a circular supply chain to power a sustainable world.
Problem
Climate change is creating a global imperative to electrify and accelerate the reduction of fossil fuels. Batteries are the solution, yet critical metals move 50,000+ miles before they reach a cell factory – a costly and unsustainable process.
Cathode, the single most expensive component in an electric vehicle, isn't produced in North America today.
As a result, U.S. cell manufacturers will spend more than $600B overseas on these materials over the next decade.
600%
Surging battery demand
Demand for lithium-ion batteries in North America estimated to grow 600% over the next 10 years.
50,000
Unsustainable supply chain
The number of miles that materials must move before they reach a battery cell factory.
300 TWh
Gap in capacity
The world is estimated to need 300 terawatts of battery capacity to be fully sustainable.
Problem
Electrification is projected to increase demand for cathode active material over 600% by 2030. The supply chain is unprepared to support that growth.
Engineering sustainability
Solution
Redwood is transforming the battery supply chain by offering large-scale sources of domestic battery materials, produced from an increasing number of recycled batteries, that can go directly back to U.S. cell manufacturers.
