全球领先的锂离子电池资源回收公司 Li-Cycle Holdings Corp.（“i-Cycle”或“公司”）表示支持美国总统唐纳德·特朗普于 2025 年 1 月 20 日签署的最近发布的行政命令“释放美国能源”中的关键要素。这一全面的政策转变旨在提高国内能源生产和加强美国能源格局，符合 Li-Cycle 建立国内电池资源“城市采矿”和增强美国能源独立的使命。

支持加强国内资源开发
行政命令强调利用美国丰富的能源和自然资源的重要性，并激励美国境内的能源勘探和生产。该命令要求审查可能阻碍国内能源资源开发的现行法规。简化的许可流程和减少的监管负担可能会进一步促进国内电池制造业的增长，而这要归功于对该行业至关重要的新关键矿产资源的开发。通过我们持续的安全材料处理和资源回收流程，Li-Cycle 将从可回收电池的潜在增长中获益。

对国家安全、能源独立和经济繁荣的承诺
对加强美国矿产供应链的关注符合 Li-Cycle 通过国内生产促进经济自给自足和国家安全的愿景。具体而言，该计划支持 Li-Cycle 致力于回收和再利用废旧电池和制造废料中的锂、镍和钴等有价值材料。通过实现关键矿物的回收和再利用，Li-Cycle 可以帮助减少对外国矿产供应的依赖，并增强美国的能源供应链安全。

尽管行政命令暂停了与 2022 年通过的具体法案相关的 90 天的付款，但 Li-Cycle 期待继续与美国能源部 (“OE”) 就公司封闭且具有约束力的 DOE 贷款安排开展 2021 年开始的工作。Li-Cycle 已在公司当前和未来的美国业务上投资了 5 亿多美元，很高兴看到这项行政命令对国内关键矿产生产行业产生的积极影响。Li-Cycle

Li-Cycle Holdings Corp. (“Li-Cycle” or the “Company”), a leading global lithium-ion battery resource recovery company, expressed its support for key elements in the recently issued Executive Order titled “Unleashing American Energy” that U.S. President Donald Trump signed on January 20, 2025. This comprehensive policy shift, aimed at enhancing domestic energy production and strengthening the U.S. energy landscape, aligns with Li-Cycle’s mission to establish ‘urban mining’ for domestic battery resources and to bolster U.S. energy independence.

Support for Enhanced Domestic Resource Development
The Executive Order emphasizes the importance of utilizing America’s abundant energy and natural resources and incentivizes energy exploration and production within the United States. The order calls for a review of existing regulations that may impede domestic energy resource development. Streamlined permitting processes and reduced regulatory burdens may further enhance the growth of domestic battery manufacturing, spurred by the development of new critical mineral sources essential to the industry. Through our continued safe materials handling and resource recovery processes, Li-Cycle stands to gain from the related potential increases in batteries available for recycling.

Commitment to National Security, Energy Independence and Economic Prosperity
The focus on bolstering the U.S. mineral supply chain aligns with Li-Cycle’s vision of fostering economic self-sufficiency and national security through domestic production. Specifically, the initiative supports Li-Cycle’s commitment to recycling and recovering valuable materials such as lithium, nickel and cobalt from spent batteries and manufacturing scrap. By enabling the recovery and reuse of critical minerals, Li-Cycle can help reduce the reliance on foreign mineral supplies and enhance America’s energy supply chain security.

Although the Executive Order has paused disbursements for 90 days related to specific acts passed in 2022, Li-Cycle looks forward to continuing the work it began in 2021 with the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) with respect to the Company’s closed and binding DOE loan facility. Having invested more than $500 million in the Company’s current and future American operations, Li-Cycle is excited to see the positive implications of this Executive Order on the domestic critical mineral production industries.
