Repurposing vs. Recycling: The conference will explore the benefits of repurposing electric vehicle (EV) batteries compared to recycling them. Repurposing is presented as a potentially more beneficial option due to its ability to generate additional revenue, reduce waste management costs, and contribute to lowering the total cost of manufacturing and operating EVs.

Lifecycle Value Maximization: Maximizing the lifecycle value of EV batteries is a central theme. The conference will discuss how repurposing extends the useful life of batteries beyond their initial use in vehicles, thereby increasing their overall economic value.

Market Evolution and Growth: The conference will highlight the evolving market for repurposing EV batteries, indicating both challenges and opportunities. As more EVs reach the end of their lifecycle, attention shifts to handling their batteries, creating a growing market for repurposing.

Battery Chemistry and Types: Different battery chemistries, such as lithium iron phosphate (LFP) and nickel manganese cobalt (NMC), will be discussed in terms of their suitability for repurposing. Understanding battery chemistry is crucial for determining the economic feasibility of recycling versus repurposing.

Raw Material Prices and Supply Chain: The conference addresses the impact of raw material prices on battery manufacturing and the supply chain. It discusses the surge in global raw material prices and the need for strategies such as repurposing to hedge against price fluctuations and ensure a reliable supply for energy storage providers.

Second-Life Applications: Second-life applications for EV batteries, such as stationary systems and grid support, are explored. These applications represent opportunities for repurposing batteries beyond their original use in vehicles.

Integrated Battery Ecosystem: The conference emphasizes the importance of developing an integrated battery ecosystem to support repurposing initiatives. Examples of integrated ecosystems from various regions, including Europe, the US, China, and Japan, will be provided.

Economic and Technical Challenges: The challenges associated with repurposing, including economic viability, scalability, and technical issues such as predicting battery life expectancy, are discussed. Overcoming these challenges is crucial for the success of repurposing initiatives.

Regulatory Landscape: Regulatory factors, such as the EU’s new battery regulation requiring battery passports, are highlighted as important considerations for the development of the repurposing market. Regulations can both facilitate and hinder the growth of repurposing initiatives.
