DEMONSTRATORS

BATMASS will establish the Circular Battery Valley around 4 key demonstrators that will close the material waste-to-production loop. This Valley rely on a collaborative approach to the triple helix but also the engagement of the investment community, with the ambition to scale and replicate innovations strategic to EU resilience.

ADVANCED REVERSE LOGISTICS FOR BATTERIES RECYCLING

A highly innovative digital and fully automated pilot in Lombardy Region (IT) with fertilisation in the underdeveloped region of Castilla La Mancha.

This pilot is providing the first large-scale interregional demo on advanced reverse logistics for batteries recycling, capable of integrating advanced digitalization and manufacturing technologies for creating specific supply-chain, able to collect across Europe EoL batteries from different origins (e.g.: waste firms, end-users, etc.) in the most efficient and eco-designed way.

  • Advanced Digital platform for operation and management
  • Safety Macro-cell 1: Safe storage, input data collection module to discharge EOL battery
  • Safety Macro-cell 2: disassembly module to dismantle battery pack.
  • Safety Macro-cell 3: Sorting and characterization module for reuse/recycling preparation.
  • Innovative packaging solution with increased safety.

DEMO 2

Second Life

Advanced manufacturing pilot for products giving a second life to batteries in the developed region of Ile de France and the underdeveloped region of Castilla la Mancha (Spain)

A two fold pilot based on; i) innovative and new digital advanced manufacturing and scalable battery test pilot to identify and sort used batteries for a second life, and ii) a new product manufacturing bench pilot to design a new elementary and universal storage system to be implemented by SMEs or home users for small and intermediate energy storages (5 to 500kWh)

Black Mass

RECOVERING RAW MATERIALS FROM BATTERIES BLACK MASS

Developed by Orano company, a sustainable and low cost black mass recovery process

The Orano recovery process brings an innovative brick makes it possible to carry out the physical pretreatments and allow the extraction of all the high-interest elements from EoL batteries.
