Description du projet
Une logistique intelligente pour améliorer la durabilité et le recyclage des batteries
Les batteries jouent un rôle crucial dans les machines, les outils et les appareils du quotidien, mais elles génèrent également de grandes quantités de déchets. Le secteur du recyclage doit relever le défi d’une gestion et d’un recyclage efficaces, sûrs et rentables de ces déchets. Dans ce contexte, le projet RECIRCULATE, financé par l’UE, entend améliorer la chaîne de valeur de la réutilisation et du recyclage en développant une plateforme innovante basée sur la chaîne de blocs qui fera évoluer les techniques de traitement des déchets de batteries. Ces efforts aboutiront à la création de passeports uniques pour les batteries, qui réduiront les déchets et renforceront les processus de maintenance, de réutilisation, de recyclage et de fabrication en fin de vie. En conséquence, de nouvelles chaînes de valeur circulaires seront mises en place, permettant de minimiser la consommation d’énergie, de réduire les coûts et de diminuer les dommages causés à l’environnement. Elles renforceront dès lors considérablement la durabilité des batteries.
Objectif
RECIRCULATE addresses the needs of European recycling sector by overcoming current challenges relating to automated dismantling and sorting; safe logistics; fast, cost-effective and reliable State of Health and State of Safety characterization. Combining these advances with a blockchain-based platform, that will combine the data collected during dismantling and recycling and the battery provenance, will enable a unique battery passport and virtual marketplace for e-mobility, consumer and stationary Battery Energy Storage Systems. This approach will enable the RECIRCULATE consortium to create a cascade approach that will enable increased end-of-life battery repair, reuse, remanufacture and recycling.
The advances in RECIRCULATE will based on best-in-world innovations, including:
• Automated dismantling based on Artificial Intelligence with accurate sorting by SoX and battery provenance for recycling.
• Fast, cost-effective, reliable SoX characterization; Safe storage and transportation based on smart logistics solutions.
• Blockchain-based Battery Passports that tracks key battery data, and enables both a complete circular system for e-mobility batteries and a unique, blockchain-based virtual marketplace.
The unique virtual marketplace will allow for the creation of new circular business models for repair, reuse, remanufacture and recycling of second-life batteries, minimizing cost, time, energy and environmental impact whilst maximizing battery value.
RECIRCULATE represents a pan-European consortium of world leading organisations that are looking to commercialize these technologies of European origin. The coordinator, Centria, is leading activities in battery dismantling. The consortium is strengthened by very large organisations, including: Ford, who are currently undertaking development for e-mobility, and DHL a global leader in logistics and reverse logistics as well as European SMEs with world leading technologies.
