SubsidieMeestersREcycling Li-Ion batteries for Green Hybrid Technologies
LIFE ReLiGHT aims to transform end-of-life EV batteries into a modular energy storage solution, enhancing grid efficiency and reducing waste and emissions while promoting a circular economy.
Projectdetails
Introduction
The renewable energy is key to reach the EU climate targets to decarbonize the economy by 2050. But it is necessary the implementation of energy storage solutions to increase the efficiency of the grid management. Also, as the electric vehicles (EV) market grows exponentially, many batteries at the end of their useful life (EoL) for EV applications are being processed as waste.
Project Overview
LIFE ReLiGHT will facilitate the transition to a circular system increasing the resource efficiency by demonstrating, at large scale, the high-performance of a pioneer modular Battery Energy Storage Solution (BESS). This solution will transform 100% of EoL EV Lithium-Ion batteries (LIB) - considering the heterogeneity from 4 different providers - into second life products for their integration into renewable plants, providing flexibility and different services to the electrical grid.
Benefits of the Project
This will open the door to a new type of hybrid renewable plants displacing energy to those periods where renewable sources cannot guarantee the supply of energy, avoiding carbon-based energy sources.
Implementation Strategy
This novel circular economy approach will be implemented along the whole value chain of the EV sector thanks to the multidisciplinary consortium involved:
- Receipt of the EoL LIB modules
- Modules testing and classification
- Assembly of new battery packages
- Demonstration in stationary energy applications (renewable plant)
- Evaluation of different business cases
- Replacement of batteries at EoL and proper recycling
Expected Outcomes
LIFE ReLiGHT will:
- Reduce 102.31 tn of EoL batteries waste in EV applications and extend their lifetime up to 10 years
- Reduce the environmental impact of the LIB by 600 tn CO2eq/year of GHG emissions
- Demonstrate the robustness and high-performance of a pioneer modular 5.6MW/11.2MWh BESS
- Demonstrate the cost-effective alternative to conventional storage systems
- Promote knowledge and stimulate innovation, education, public awareness, and job creation (14 new positions) in the battery and energy sectors.
