Aqua Metals, Inc., based in Reno, Nevada, operates in the renewable energy and semiconductor manufacturing space with a focus on sustainable lithium battery and clean metals recycling. It aims to create a low-carbon, circular supply chain for critical minerals by returning high-value materials to the battery manufacturing stream and reducing the environmental footprint of the clean-energy industry. The company has developed AquaRefining, a cleaner metals recycling process that uses electricity rather than chemical catalysts, described as lowering emissions and cutting waste streams. The approach is presented as a closed-loop system intended to support the domestic battery supply chain by providing recycled materials to battery makers at lower operating costs and without the environmental drawbacks of furnaces and chemical waste. In April 2026, Aqua Metals announced a partnership with American Battery Factory Inc. to participate in the growth of U.S. battery manufacturing and extend the platform across the full battery lifecycle.
