SubsidieMeestersAutomated Lithium-Ion battery upcycling process using robotics and computer vision to deliver sustainable energy storage at scale
Circu Li-ion aims to enhance battery sustainability by automating upcycling and recycling, recovering over 80% of usable cells, doubling battery lifespan, and cutting emissions by 80%.
Projectdetails
Introduction
The EU is aiming to reach zero emissions by 2050, but the transition towards renewable energy is leading to bottlenecks in battery storage availability. The total storage capacity needed will rise from 0.7 TWh in 2019 to 10.5 TWh by 2030. This increase accounts for up to 248% of the global lithium reserves.
Challenges in Battery Storage
Recycling and reuse of batteries are an essential frontier in addressing these challenges. However, current practices waste over 80% of the still usable battery storage. Additionally, 88% of the battery recycling is outsourced to Asia, creating further complications in the sustainability of battery usage.
Circu Li-ion's Solution
Circu Li-ion has developed a sustainable technology approach to battery upcycling and recycling.
Key Features of Circu Li-ion Technology
- Automated Processing: Enables the automated processing of used battery packs.
- Reliable Analytics: Delivers reliable analytics on each battery cell.
- Refurbishment: Refurbishes cells for re-use.
- End-of-Life Preparation: Prepares end-of-life cells for recycling.
Benefits of the Technology
- Recovers over 80% of otherwise recycled cells.
- Doubles the battery lifetime.
- Reduces production emissions by 80%.
- Increases recycling efficiency.
