In-person & Livestreamed event
Electric vehicle batteries are a key technology for the EU’s decarbonisation and transition to clean mobility. As demand for lithium-ion batteries is expected to significantly increase in the coming years, building an EU industrial ecosystem for battery circularity can deliver both environmental benefits and economic value for the EU. While the new EU policy landscape is being reshaped with new frameworks such as the Batteries Regulation, the Critical Raw Materials Act and the Industrial Accelerator Act, questions remain about how to translate policy ambition into effective industrial ecosystems for batteries circularity.
This policy-focused event draws on lessons learned from the implementation of the BATRAW project to discuss current challenges and the necessary conditions for scaling up circularity applications for EV battery packs in the EU. Topics to be addressed include regulatory constraints, information and data gaps and market-related challenges affecting recycling and reuse operations across the battery value chain. The discussion will also highlight key enablers and policy instruments for creating the conditions for investment and innovation in battery circularity applications.
Organised in the context of the BATRAW EU-funded project the event will bring together stakeholders from the region (policy makers at different governance levels, industry stakeholders and civil society representatives) to exchange views on how EU and national policies can accelerate the deployment of circular battery solutions and support the EU’s decarbonisation goals.
Event organised by Centre for European Policy Studies (CEPS) and Recyclia.
