They include lightweight and recyclable materials such as aluminium alloys containing up to 60 percent recycled aluminium, non-welded connections and a design which simplifies component disassembly, repair and reuse for a second life.<\/p>\n<p>The modularity and ease of disassembly furnished by the design \u201cfacilitates replacement and repair of individual parts and components and their transition to second-life uses, thus extending the service life of the battery components and preventing the premature replacement of entire batteries,\u201d notes Eduard Piqueras, head of European Programmes at Eurecat and MARBEL\u2019s coordinator.<\/p>\n<p>MARBEL is also helping in the transition towards a more sustainable and electrified future for the automotive industry through lighter and more competitive batteries with higher energy density and shorter charging times which are also more sustainable, efficient and have a longer lifespan.<\/p>\n<p>To explore this area in greater depth, the Battery Innovation Days also featured a talk by Albert Mart\u00ednez, a researcher in Eurecat\u2019s Waste, Energy and Environmental Impact Unit, entitled \u201cInvestment and capacity for battery recycling: circular economy in lithium-ion batteries\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The Battery Innovation Days are the meeting point where policymakers, the research community and leading industry players discuss the future of battery R&amp;D in Europe.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":20,"featured_media":164552,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2296,2298,743,433,2583],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-168434","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-automotive","category-energy","category-press-notes-en","category-sustainability","category-weei-en"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
