The article discusses how phytomining, a process that extracts nickel from plants instead of mining it from the earth, could be a new solution to supplement the EV battery supply chain. This method is more environmentally friendly and sustainable than traditional nickel mining.
- Phytomining is an alternative way to obtain nickel for EV batteries
- Extraction process uses plants instead of traditional mining methods
- More environmentally friendly and sustainable
- Could help supplement the EV battery supply chain
- ARPA-E is supporting research into phytomining technology
