Clarios, a U.S. manufacturer and recycler of low-voltage batteries, plans to invest up to $1 billion in a U.S. critical minerals processing plant, aligning with efforts to strengthen the domestic metals supply chain in response to China’s export ban on vital minerals. The facility will extract antimony from recycled batteries, enhancing domestic battery production. Clarios is in discussions with states like Indiana, Texas, and Utah for potential locations. The investment is part of a broader $6 billion plan aimed at bolstering the nation’s critical mineral supply, supported by recent executive orders and tax incentives.
