BATTERY RECYCLING | TECHNIQUES, TECHNOLOGIES, AND ASSOCIATED COSTS
Gavin Harper -
Met4Tech Research Fellow,
University of Birmingham
Battery recycling might not be a problem today, but the recycling business is booming and is a major trend for the battery domain. We are seeing a lot of players investing in this and in the assessment phase.
This presentation and interactive discussion take a deep dive into some of the biggest questions on the OEM’s and cell supplier’s minds right now, with the end of goal of providing real world insight on:
- Different techniques of recycling and types of recycling facilities
- Technologies available for recycling
- Expected cost of recycling
- Benefits recycling can bring in terms of what you have to pay, what you get back, and what the whole cycle of raw material is going to look like
- How can the battery be structured to think about the recyclability
- How to handle the innovations in lithium-ion cells recycling
- How to enable battery packs to be disassembled in an efficient & environmentally friendly way
- What the industry can do together to introduce recycling of batteries
10:15 am - 10:45 am

We are on the verge of scaling up electric vehicles. But, after five years, there are going to be a huge amount of EV batteries that cannot just be dumped. OEMs and Cell Suppliers are more interested now than ever before in how to use these batteries for second life … and if second life is even viable.
Join your peers as we answer some of the key questions being asked right now to make repurposing a reality.
- When you take out the battery from the car, how does the lifecycle of second life start?
- What stationary applications can batteries be used for?
- How is the selection of cells/modules happening?
- What does the exact value chain look like from fresh cells coming from a cell supplier going into a car and then coming out to be used for energy storage?
- What steps can be taken to make the battery management system accessible by the second users and recyclers?
- Under which circumstances does a second life application make sense from a technical and financial standpoint ?
- Insurance and warranting of second life packs

FUTURE OF EV CHARGING | OPPORTUNITIES TO DISRUPT THE SECTOR & PREPARE FOR GROWTH
Richard Hackforth-Jones -
Head of Charging & Electrification,
Jaguar Land Rover
Workshop C will focus on how the EV charging space will evolve and expand, and what the ecosystems need to manage and overcome current problems and hurdles: Part 1: Presentation on building intelligent infrastructure to match the changing energy world, and the regulatory framework for all European member states to create charging infrastructure
Part 2: Sharing what is the relevant and adequate infrastructure need to match the speed of EV growth
Part 3: Discuss in smaller groups the best options to prepare for growth
Part 4: Contribute ideas to the rest of the group
