Green Anodes, Making Europe a Leader in Low Carbon Batteries

Green Anodes, Making Europe a Leader in Low Carbon Batteries

Webinar time: Nov 23, 2021 09:00 AM in Brussels

Description

Achieving the goals set out in the European Green Deal and the vision of a decarbonised transport
sector will dramatically increase battery demand. The EU will have to ramp up domestic production
while meeting its environmental goals and aiming for strategic autonomy in critical supply chains.
There are many opportunities within the EU borders itself to advance these goals. One of the key
elements is recycling which is talked about a lot. But the EU has also potential for developing local
value chains, where the high EU standards of production would apply.

Join us in this session to discuss opportunities to develop a European low carbon battery value chain
that provides not only climate and environmental benefits, but also boosts local industry and
provides jobs. Explore with this panel of industry representatives and policy makers what does it
take to kick off some strong local projects, such as European green battery anode refinery.
