One of the great things about driving an EV is that its battery can be recycled into new products after the car is retired. ♻️ That’s where PNE comes in—leading the charge in sustainable, direct battery recycling technology! In the picture, you’ll see our Chief Strategy Officer Stephen C. Snyder Snyder and Director of Finance Sicheng (Alex) Wang, CFA commuting to work in their EVs every day. With just a 30-mile round trip, they’re each saving around 4,500 pounds of CO2 annually compared to traditional gasoline-powered cars. 🚗⚡ That’s a big impact from a small daily habit! At PNE, we’re committed to reducing carbon footprints while creating a circular battery economy. The future of mobility is clean and green! #ShowMeYourEV #Sustainability #BatteryRecycling #EVLife #ClimateAction #GreenerFuture

We were honored to attend the Zero Emission Transportation Association’s 2nd Annual EV Awards Ceremony, where the shared commitment to a cleaner, more sustainable future was evident. At PNE, we’re proud to be part of the movement, driving sustainability forward through innovative battery recycling solutions. Seeing leaders and policymakers come together to support zero-emission transportation and the strengthening of America’s supply chain further reinforces the importance of our work. PNE is dedicated to building a cleaner, more sustainable future by creating a circular battery economy, reducing reliance on imported materials, and promoting domestic innovation. A special thanks to Janet Robertson, MBA and Stephen C. Snyder for representing PNE at this inspiring event. Together, we are moving the needle on sustainability and transforming the energy landscape.

Stephen C. Snyder, our Chief Strategy Officer at PNE had the pleasure of joining Laurence Noël (EVP, Head of Automotive Capgemini) for a panel discussion at the Capgemini ‘Business-to-Planet Connect Conference’ on September 25th at the Glass House in #NYC. The event was part of 'NYC Climate Week' and focused on the critical challenges in building ecosystems and supply chains to support the future of EVs and grid infrastructure. During the panel, Bill Combs (VP Sustainability Penske Logistics) and Nitin Tyagi (VP Supply Chain Our Next Energy (ONE)) highlighted the economic challenges of electrification, including high initial costs, fleet residual value, and concerns over battery longevity and end-of-life management. They emphasized that many technical issues, such as range and battery lifecycle, can be addressed by properly matching technology to specific applications. For instance, current battery technologies, like LFP, are well-suited for consumer vehicles and regional delivery fleets, supported by overnight charging and appropriate duty cycles. Stephen added to the discussion by emphasizing the role of innovative recycling methods like #DirectRecycling, which enable fast, cost-effective recovery of battery materials. This approach is key to building a strong, US-based supply chain that reduces dependency on foreign resources and mitigates environmental risks. Laurence Noel concluded the session by stressing the importance of collaboration in electrifying transportation. She noted that leasing models, longer battery life, and advanced recycling technologies will be essential in creating economic certainty and driving the growth of electrification in the coming years. #EV #Sustainability #Electrification #BatteryRecycling #ClimateAction #NYCClimateWeek

At PNE, collaboration with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) National Laboratories, universities, and industry partners is essential as we push the boundaries of advanced battery recycling technologies. This week, our team, including Dr. Jinyun (Jared) Liao (Senior Director of R&D), Jarett Hoelzle and Tyler McGivern-Jimenez (Research Engineers), and Jerry Xiang (Process Engineer), attended the 2024 #ReCell #Industry #Collaboration Meeting at Argonne National Laboratory in Lemont, #Chicago. The ReCell Industry Collaboration Meeting, an annual event organized by Argonne National Laboratory, brings together industry stakeholders and researchers dedicated to making lithium-ion battery recycling more efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly. It was an invaluable opportunity to discuss the latest advancements, share research insights, and explore new collaborations. A big thank you to Jeffrey Spangenberger and his team for hosting this event, which allowed us to connect with national lab researchers, academic experts, and other key stakeholders in the battery supply chain. At PNE, we remain committed to advancing our low-temperature plasma-assisted separation (LPAS) technology, driving down costs, and minimizing environmental impact through continued collaboration. #BatteryRecycling #CleanEnergy #Innovation #Sustainability #Collaboration #GreenTech #CircularEconomy #DirectRecycling

Princeton NuEnergy had the privilege of being invited by the Energy and Fuels Division organizers Yaocai Bai, Bishnu Prasad Thapaliya, Hui WANG, and Ling Fei, to participate in the American Chemical Society Fall 2024 meeting in #Denver, #Colorado, this week. The Energy and Fuels Division is renowned for its emphasis on pioneering advancements in energy research, including carbon capture, biofuels, hydrogen storage, and sustainable battery technology. During the "Advancing Lithium-Ion Battery Recycling: Sustainable Solutions for a Circular Economy " session, our Senior Director of R&D, Dr. Jinyun (Jared) Liao, delivered an insightful presentation on the transformative impact of direct recycling on sustainable practices. He highlighted our innovative low-temperature plasma-assisted separation (LPAS) process for the direct recycling and up-cycling of spent batteries and manufacturing scrap, highlighting its ability to substantially reduce costs and environmental impact by minimizing carbon emissions and hazardous waste compared to traditional recycling methods. Dr. Liao also detailed our R&D capabilities and strategies for a seamless technology transition from lab scale to pilot scale and, eventually, to full commercialization. This event was a fantastic opportunity to showcase our work and engage with leaders in the field. We're excited about the future of sustainable energy solutions and proud to be part of this important conversation. #ACSFall2024 #BatteryRecycling #SustainableEnergy #CircularEconomy #EnergyInnovation #GreenTech #DirectRecycling

🔋Safety First at PNE🔋 At Princeton NuEnergy, battery safety is our top priority. Our Process Engineer, Ryan Compton, recently attended the #LithiumSafe: Battery Safety Workshop in #SouthCarolina.
