Industrial Info is tracking about $1.2 billion worth of active projects across the U.S. related to the mining and processing of cobalt, and more than $1.1 billion worth related to its smelting or use in lithium-ion batteries.

Other companies featured: General Motors Company (NYSE:GM), (), United States Strategic Metals LLC, Glencore plc and Li-Cycle Holdings (NYSE:LICY).
