Project description
Making it easier to recycle and remanufacture end-of-life lithium-ion batteries
The transport sector is responsible for around one quarter of Europe’s greenhouse gas emissions. Electric vehicles can contribute significantly to the decarbonisation of future road transport. But lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) remain an obstacle: they are not green enough to sufficiently reduce mobility footprints. Recycling is the answer. However, the recovery of lithium is a complicated process that the EU-funded FREE4LIB project aims to simplify. It will develop technologies to achieve six new sustainable and efficient processes to recycle end-of-life LIBs. The project will also deliver three processes aimed at reuse of metals and polymers and electrode synthesis for remanufacturing new LIB battery packs based on the design for recycling. The use of Battery Passports will overcome the current lack of access to open data in the LIB value chain.
