DNyuzHow Recycling EV Batteries Can Power the Green Transition
The minerals found in an electric-car battery often travel thousands of miles around the world before the vehicles they will be in hit the road. Lithium mined in Chile or Argentina is shipped to China—where three-quarters of the world’s electric-vehicle (EV) batteries are currently made. The sea journey emits considerable amounts of CO2 in the process. Yet, electrifying the transportation -sector—which accounts for more than a third of global CO…
To recover valuable raw materials for new batteries, old batteries from electric vehicles can be recycled. Alternatively, the batteries can also be reused as stationary energy storage devices, helping to integrate renewable energies into the power grid, absorb peak loads, and thus increase security of supply. Both recycling and extending the life cycle through secondary use are important principles of the circular economy.
