On the 12 th of January a large number of parties involved in the development of batteries in the Netherlands – small companies, multinationals and knowledge institutes – attended the kick off of the BatteryNL consortium.
Currently, no battery processing takes place in the Netherlands. Batteries removed from electric vehicles that are not suitable for second use and therefore have to be recycled, are sent to European processors outside the Netherlands. There are, however, several parties that want to set up such a recycling facility here.
This is related to the Netherlands’ strong heritage as a hotspot for testing and validation of electric systems. The expertise and network accumulated at these centers are invaluable for boosting and scaling development of the next generations of batteries for a wide range of purposes.
BatteryNL is aiming to develop the next generation of batteries that are safer, have higher energy densities and have a longer life-cycle – all of which are crucial for a society based on sustainable energy sources.
Recycling electric-vehicle (EV) batteries represents an opportunity for Europe to significantly reduce its dependence on Asian battery and raw-materials suppliers. To this end, significant steps are already being taken in several European countries. With this in mind, what role can industry in the Netherlands play in the processing of batteries?
“These manufacturers are readying themselves to comply with the European Union’s ambition of keeping raw materials inside Europe and ensuring that the production of new batteries is partly realised with the use of materials from old batteries,” says Janet Kes, Manager Batteries at ARN.
