“However, a more circular and sustainable battery supply chain will be critical if EVs are to truly decarbonize our transportation sector in North America.”
“Cirba Solutions’ expansion increases capacity in the U.S. and promotes circularity— helping to make the EV industry, and the world, more sustainable.”
John Kelly, Cirba Solutions Vice President of Operations said:
Jacobs’ expertise and knowledge of an environmentally thoughtful approach is consistent with our focus to ensure our construction supports our strategic approach to technology and sustainability.
In addition to working with battery supply chain clients, Jacobs is delivering solutions across the EV industry, including vehicle manufacturing, transit decarbonization, power generation and supply, and funding and grant support.
