Assembly plant for serial production of industrial energy storage systems based on second-life car batteries and disruptive full-pack technology.
FENECON's CarBatteryReFactory project aims to scale up the production of innovative, standardized energy storage systems using second-life vehicle batteries to enhance sustainability and reduce GHG emissions.
Projectdetails
Introduction
Energy supply is rapidly turning decentralized and going digital. Electromobility will be the new mobility standard. Turnkey energy storage containers, made from vehicle batteries, will enable high cost savings for industry and grid operators.
Current Challenges
But so far there is a lack of standardized, industrial (and thus economic and scalable) solutions for the re-use of car batteries. Since over ten years, FENECON, a German SME, recognizes the potential of these upheavals; it continues to develop innovative solutions for containerized storage systems.
Partnerships and Innovations
Strong partnerships with the automotive industry led to the implementation of the complete car battery pack, allowing the use of:
- BMS (Battery Management System)
- Housing
- Temperature management
The innovative use of 2nd life batteries in a stationary storage system significantly improves their carbon footprint; no dismantling, rebuilding, or partial scrapping is necessary.
Market Development
An efficient 2nd life battery market will be created as added value after being used in the vehicle, before the ultimate recycling process. Since 2019, the disruptive system FENECON Industrial is tested as a plug-and-play version for stationary and mobile use.
Software Initiatives
Additionally, an open-source, manufacturer-independent, and platform-based energy management software was initiated and developed by FENECON, thus allowing all manner of combined applications.
Future Plans
Now it is the right time to scale up. FENECON invests in the construction of a plant with an assembly for efficient and sustainable serial production for the disruptive system. This is the CarBatteryReFactory project, a main pillar of the company's future, boosting its growth in terms of turnover and number of employees while reducing the GHG emissions considerably.
Market Introduction
For the initial market introduction, FENECON begins the commercialization in the European markets. The CarBatteryReFactory intends to become the European leader of 2nd life battery energy storage systems.
