Environmentally friendly batteries

Are being scientifically researched in the IDcycLIB joint project at the Fraunhofer Institute for Silicate Research and funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research.

IDcycLIB = "Innovation platform of a green, detectable and directly recyclable lithium-ion battery"

Quotes: "In particular, the shift away from fossil-fueled mobility to sustainable electromobility based on renewable energy sources has intensified the discussion about the resource requirements for the batteries needed for this."

"Thanks to coordinated joint research efforts, battery cells should also be able to be produced in Germany and Europe in the future. Against this background, the processes for cell production must be designed to be as environmentally friendly as possible, and battery materials must be recovered and reused as efficiently as possible."

"By means of Life Cycle Assessment and Life Cycle Costing, the derivation of parameterized models as well as the development of suitable software tools (LCA Calculator, data exchange platform) for the evaluation and control of digitally recorded material flows, the way to a sustainable development and recycling of batteries can be paved."

Are best prospects for a zero carbon lithium project by Vulcan Energy.


Battery passport to facilitate recycling

Quotes: "The IDcycLIB project aims to develop an integrated material passport for batteries. It could simplify recycling with information on cell chemistry or battery condition."

"In the future, battery cells will be equipped with markers made of nanodevices. The code contains information on cell chemistry, for example. Depending on the materials used, this battery passport will differ from battery to battery."
