Refining critical metals, nickel, cobalt, lithium, and manganese, from end-of-life batteries, scrap metal, and mined ore is the business of Nth Cycle, a critical-metals refining company. Its patented electro-extraction technology, built into the modular Oyster system, runs on-site at partner facilities using electricity rather than fossil fuels, cutting greenhouse-gas emissions by up to 92% versus conventional mining and recycling. Founded in 2017 and headquartered in Beverly, Massachusetts, with a commercial production facility in Fairfield, Ohio, the company serves recyclers, manufacturers, and miners, producing high-purity metals for clean-energy applications such as electric vehicles, renewable energy, and grid storage, and it is marking the first U.S. production of premium nickel-cobalt MHP.
