Battery & Energy Storage
As demand for battery technologies and energy storage systems continues to grow, organizations face increasing pressure to develop scalable, reliable, and commercially viable processes. Whether advancing new battery chemistries, improving material recovery, or supporting domestic supply chain initiatives, moving from laboratory success to commercial deployment requires specialized engineering expertise and development infrastructure.
IMPACT partners with innovators across the battery value chain — from critical mineral extraction through cathode and anode material production to grid-scale deployment. Our team has developed lithium extraction processes, scaled precipitation reactions for cathode active materials, engineered waste-to-value carbon routes for anode materials from both biomass and petroleum coke feedstocks, and conducted technical due diligence on utility-scale battery energy storage installations. We help clients reduce technical risk while accelerating the path toward market-ready solutions.
- Critical mineral extraction and recovery — including lithium extraction process development
- Precursor cathode active material (p-CAM) scale-up — co-precipitation reaction development and optimization for transition-metal hydroxide precursors, from bench to pilot to production scale
- Anode material development — waste-to-value carbon conversion from biomass and petroleum coke feedstocks
- Electrolyte manufacturing scale-up — process development and scale-up for liquid and advanced electrolyte formulations under air-sensitive, moisture-sensitive, and UHP process conditions
- Process optimization and scale-up engineering for battery materials and precursor chemistries
- Pilot plant and skid-mounted system development for continuous or batch production
- Engineering studies and techno-economic analysis (TEA) to support investment and commercialization decisions
- Technical due diligence for battery energy storage systems (BESS), renewables integration, and grid-stabilization installations
- Process validation and commercialization support to move technologies from lab to market
- Have promising battery material or extraction technology but lack the facilities to scale it
- Need pilot-scale data to support funding, permitting, or commercialization decisions
- Require reproducible process data before committing capital to manufacturing
- Need independent technical due diligence before investing in or deploying a BESS asset
- Need additional engineering bandwidth to move a program forward
- Need to develop domestic supply chain solutions for critical battery material but lack in-house resources or capacity
