Battery maker Clarios views sites for $1 billion critical minerals plant in US

The plan, enabled by recent executive orders and using federal advanced manufacturing tax credits, is part of the car battery maker's strategy to enhance the domestic U.S. supply of critical minerals, Clarios said in a statement. "We're excited to announce the next step in our strategy to increase our investment in the United States," said Clarios CEO Mark Wallace. The plant will extract antimony and other critical minerals from recycled materials.
