Establishing resource efficient circularity pathways for urban mines of battery materials in Canada
Beyond Lithium is a research project aimed at establishing and optimizing various resource-efficient circularity pathways for critical minerals found in electric vehicle batteries in Canada. This project will utilize methods widely applied (but not limited to) within the fields of industrial ecology and environmental engineering, such as material flow analysis (MFA), life cycle assessment (LCA) and techno-economic feasibility assessment (TEA).
