BATTERY VALUE CHAIN | Recycling.
GDES, ITE and UPV move forward with the BAT2REC project.
In a context marked by the energy transition and the exponential increase in the use of lithium-ion batteries, the sustainable management of these storage systems at the end of their life cycle has become a strategic challenge for the industry. To address this challenge, GDES is working alongside the Institute of Energy Technology (ITE) and the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV) on BAT2REC, a project aimed at developing advanced technologies for recovering critical materials from electric vehicle batteries.
The BAT2REC project seeks to develop and validate cutting-edge technologies, focusing on the direct recycling of materials and the extraction of lithium from acid leachate. These advances aim to optimize efficiency and sustainability throughout the battery life cycle, contributing to a more circular and environmentally friendly model.
