WASHINGTON D.C. – As part of the Biden-Harris Administration’s historic Investing in America agenda, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced $44.8 million in funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) for eight projects that will lower costs of recycling electric drive vehicle batteries and electric drive vehicle battery components, with the long-term aim of lowering vehicle costs.
华盛顿特区 – 作为拜登-哈里斯政府历史性“投资美国”计划的一部分，美国能源部（DOE）今天宣布将通过两党基础设施法案（BIL）提供4480万美元的资金，用于八个项目，以降低电驱动汽车电池及其组件的回收成本，长期目标是降低车辆成本。
Under President Biden and Vice President Harris’ leadership, more than four million electric vehicles (EVs) have been sold in America—more than double the number bought in all previous years combined.
在拜登总统和哈里斯副总统的领导下，美国已售出超过400万辆电动汽车（EV），这一数字是过去所有年份销量的两倍多。
The demand for EVs and stationary storage is projected to increase the size of the lithium battery market five-to ten-fold by the end of the decade, making U.S investments to accelerate the development of a resilient domestic supply chain for high-capacity batteries essential.
预计到本十年末，电动汽车和固定储能的需求将使锂电池市场规模增长五到十倍，因此美国投资加速发展高容量电池的韧性国内供应链显得至关重要。
The projects selected by DOE’s Vehicle Technologies Office will advance research, development, and demonstration of recycling and second-life applications for batteries once used to power EVs.
美国能源部的车辆技术办公室选定的项目将推动对曾用于电动汽车的电池的回收和再利用应用的研究、开发和示范。
This announcement builds on $92 million in previously announced projects to advance EV battery recycling and expand equitable deployment, supporting President Biden’s goal to have EVs make up half of all vehicle sales in America by 2030.
此次公告基于此前宣布的9200万美元项目，旨在推动电动汽车电池回收和扩展公平部署，支持拜登总统到2030年使电动汽车占美国所有汽车销售的一半的目标。
“The United States is securing a resilient domestic battery supply chain, thanks to the Biden-Harris Administration’s historic investments in innovation and battery recycling efforts,” said U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm.
“美国正在确保韧性的国内电池供应链，这要归功于拜登-哈里斯政府在创新和电池回收方面的历史性投资，”美国能源部长詹妮弗·M·格兰霍姆表示。
“Finding new life for used batteries will significantly reduce pollution and our reliance on other nations, while lowering costs and supporting the clean energy transition.”
“为废旧电池寻找新生将显著减少污染，降低我们对其他国家的依赖，同时降低成本并支持清洁能源转型。”
These investments support the Biden-Harris Administration’s Justice40 Initiative, which sets a goal that 40% of the overall benefits of certain federal investments in climate, clean energy, and other areas flow to disadvantaged communities that are marginalized by underinvestment and overburdened by pollution.
这些投资支持拜登-哈里斯政府的“正义40”倡议，旨在确保40%的气候、清洁能源及其他领域某些联邦投资的整体收益流向因投资不足而被边缘化、受污染负担过重的弱势社区。
The eight projects selected for this round of funding are the second phase of $200 million in total provided for electric drive vehicle battery recycling and second life applications and part of $7 billion in total funding provided by President Biden and Vice President Harris’ Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to support battery supply chains.
本轮资金选定的八个项目是针对电驱动汽车电池回收和再利用应用提供的总计2亿美元的第二阶段项目，也是拜登总统和哈里斯副总统通过两党基础设施法案支持电池供应链的70亿美元资金的一部分。
These projects will reduce costs associated with transporting, dismantling, and preprocessing end-of-life electric drive vehicle batteries for recycling, and the recycling of plastic and polymer electric drive battery accessory components.
这些项目将降低运输、拆卸和预处理废旧电驱动汽车电池以进行回收的成本，并回收塑料和聚合物电驱动电池配件组件。
In September 2024, DOE announced an intent to fund the third phase with up to $70 million for projects that will improve the economics of electric drive vehicle battery recovery and re-use.
2024年9月，能源部宣布计划为第三阶段的项目提供最多7000万美元的资金，以改善电驱动汽车电池的回收和再利用的经济性。
