The Rochester Hub is expected to create the first source of recycled battery-grade lithium carbonate in North America and is designed to have a processing capacity of 35,000 tonnes of black mass per year, which is equivalent to approximately 90,000 tonnes or 18 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of lithium-ion batteries. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the control of Li-Cycle and are not guarantees of future performance. Li-Cycle’s first European Spoke will be located in Germany near the city of Magdeburg and is expected to be the Company’s largest Spoke facility to-date, with a total processing capacity of 30,000 tonnes of lithium-ion battery material per year. Securities and Exchange Commission and the Ontario Securities Commission in Canada on February 6, 2023. The new Ontario Spoke will have the capability to process full EV and energy storage packs without any manual disassembly. The Norway Spoke, which is expected to have processing capacity of up to 10,000 tonnes per year, is expected to be operational in 2024. Li-Cycle continues to develop its Norway Spoke, which is located in the city of Moss. Germany represents the largest market for both battery manufacturing scrap and the expected supply of end-of-life lithium-ion batteries in Europe. As a Canadian company, we were honoured to have the privilege and opportunity to showcase our innovative and sustainable Spoke technology to Prime Minister Trudeau and President von der Leyen. Li-Cycle’s patented and proven commercial Spoke & Hub Technologies enables up to a 95% recycling efficiency rate and returns valuable battery-grade materials found within lithium-ion batteries and battery manufacturing scrap into the supply chain. We believe that Prime Minister Trudeau’s and President von der Leyen’s visit further reinforces Li-Cycle’s exceptional value proposition for Canada’s and Europe’s burgeoning battery supply chain, also as we expect to operationalize our largest Spoke facility to-date in Germany later this year,” said Tim Johnston, co-founder and Executive Chairman of Li-Cycle. During the visit, Prime Minister Trudeau and President von der Leyen were joined by Li-Cycle co-founders Ajay Kochhar and Tim Johnston as they toured Li-Cycle’s first commercial Spoke facility and observed lithium-ion batteries being recycled in a safe and environmentally friendly manner.
