About Black Mass Energies

Building the Next Generation of Battery Recycling

Black Mass Energies is an Indian battery recycling and critical battery materials company building an integrated circular ecosystem for lithium-ion batteries.

Value Chain Focus:
Battery Scrap
Black Mass
Hydrometallurgical Refining
Critical Battery Materials

We are building the infrastructure, supply-chain network and technology required to recover valuable materials from lithium-ion batteries and return them to the battery supply chain.

Our Approach

From Battery Waste to Critical Materials

Battery recycling is more than waste management. It is an opportunity to recover strategic materials and build a more resilient battery supply chain.

An Integrated Closed-Loop Model

Black Mass Energies is developing an integrated model combining five core capabilities to transform scrap into strategic national resources:

  • Battery scrap aggregation
  • Supply-chain infrastructure
  • Black mass production (LFP, NMC & LCO processing)
  • Hydrometallurgical refining
  • Critical battery-material recovery
Strategic Objective

“Our long-term objective is to transform battery waste into strategic resources for the next generation of batteries.”

500+ MT

Black Mass Produced

High-grade precursor containing concentrated lithium, nickel, cobalt & graphite.

500+ MT

Secondary Battery-Material Feedstock Created

Direct feedstock generated to replace primary virgin mineral reliance.

~4,200 MT CO₂e

Estimated Net Emissions Avoided*

Direct lifecycle emissions reduction achieved through closed-loop recycling.

6,500 MT CO₂e

Potential Emissions Avoided Through Displacement of Virgin Material Production*

Avoiding high carbon intensity associated with primary mining and refining.

*Estimated emissions metrics calculated based on lifecycle assessment comparisons against primary virgin mineral mining, extraction and refining.

Circular Ecosystem

Closing the Loop on Lithium-Ion Batteries

Our vision is to build a scalable circular ecosystem where end-of-life batteries become a domestic source of critical battery materials.

By combining feedstock aggregation, industrial black mass production and advanced hydrometallurgical refining, Black Mass Energies aims to contribute to a more resilient and circular battery-material supply chain.
