As the world races towards electrification, from two-wheelers to trains and grid-scale energy storage, lithium-ion batteries are taking center stage. With their unmatched performance, these batteries are not just powering vehicles—they are propelling the clean energy transition. However, with this accelerated deployment comes a pressing question: What happens when these batteries reach the end of their first life? At LOHUM , we believe that the solution lies not just in innovation, but in sustainability. Our mission is to power the world sustainably through circular energy solutions, and at the heart of that mission is battery recycling and reuse . The Growing Challenge of EV Battery Waste The surge in electric vehicle (EV) adoption globally is rewriting the rules of transportation. Analysts predict that by 2030, over 2 million metric tonnes of EV batteries will be retired annually, representing more than half a million vehicles per year . In India alone, where EV adoptio...

In an era defined by the urgency of climate action and the global shift toward electrified mobility, the future of transportation hinges on one essential component: the lithium-ion battery. From electric scooters and 3-wheelers to buses, trucks, and even planes, the electrification of vehicles is accelerating across sectors. As one of the leading players in India’s sustainable battery value chain, LOHUM is committed to building a closed-loop ecosystem that is both economically viable and environmentally responsible. With the demand for electric vehicles (EVs) rising exponentially, particularly in emerging markets like India, the challenge of managing battery waste has become increasingly urgent. The answer lies in a circular approach — lithium battery reusing and recycling . At LOHUM, this is not just a strategy; it’s a mission woven into our identity as we engineer the future of clean mobility. The Growing Need for Circular Battery Solutions According to market analysts, ...

In an era where electrification is accelerating at a historic pace, from two-wheelers to airplanes, the global transition to clean mobility is impossible without one core technology— lithium-ion batteries . As we move toward decarbonizing the transport and energy sectors, the demand for these batteries has skyrocketed. Yet, with rapid deployment comes a parallel challenge: What happens to these batteries when they reach the end of their usable life? At LOHUM , we believe the answer lies not just in mining the earth, but in mining value from used batteries. The lithium-ion battery end-of-life value is no longer a theoretical opportunity—it's a transformative force driving both sustainability and strategic resource independence. The Explosive Growth of Lithium-Ion Battery Demand Over the past decade, the cost of lithium-ion batteries has dropped by more than 90%, while their performance and energy density have soared. This combination has led to exponential growth in elec...

As the global energy landscape accelerates toward electrification, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have emerged as the cornerstone of this transformation—powering everything from smartphones and laptops to electric vehicles (EVs), renewable energy storage, and smart grids. Yet, with this exponential rise in battery deployment, the world now stands at a crucial crossroads: how to sustainably source the raw materials that make electrification possible. At LOHUM, we believe the answer lies not just in mining more, but in mining smarter—by extracting value from what already exists. With a focus on maximizing resource efficiency and minimizing environmental impact, LOHUM is pioneering India’s first and largest integrated ecosystem for battery recycling, reuse, and refined materials manufacturing. Our mission is clear: to create a cleaner, circular, and self-reliant battery supply chain . The Lithium-Ion Tsunami: A Glimpse into the Future By 2030, more than 2 million metric tonnes ...

In the fast-evolving era of electrified mobility, lithium-ion batteries have become the lifeblood of innovation. From scooters to electric cars, buses, commercial trucks, trains, and even aircraft, Li-ion batteries are driving the global transition towards cleaner, smarter transportation. But while this technological shift helps reduce emissions, it also brings a new kind of challenge: What happens to these batteries once they reach the end of their first life? With over 2 million metric tonnes of used lithium-ion batteries projected to be retired annually by 2030, the world is facing a critical inflection point. The rise in electric vehicles (EVs), solar energy storage, and consumer electronics means that an unprecedented volume of used batteries will soon require responsible handling. At LOHUM , we see this as a defining opportunity—to not just manage battery waste, but to mine value from it. Our mission is to power the world sustainably through world-class battery repurposing and...

From powering scooters and sportscars to electrifying buses, trucks, and even planes, lithium-ion batteries (Li-ion) are the backbone of a global transition to electric mobility. But with this revolutionary shift comes a new set of challenges—and opportunities. As electric vehicle (EV) adoption accelerates and lithium battery usage soars, the focus now turns toward what happens at the end of a battery’s life. The numbers are staggering. By 2030 , experts estimate more than 2 million metric tonnes of used Li-ion batteries will be retired annually from vehicles alone. In the U.S., over half a million EVs are expected to reach battery end-of-life every year . This dramatic rise in battery deployment and retirement is prompting stakeholders across the mobility and energy ecosystem to rethink sustainability, supply chains, and resource efficiency. At LOHUM , we view this not as a challenge but a historic opportunity—to close the loop on battery materials , unlock new value, and shape ...
