Pleased to be invited to take part in a panel discussion on Battery Recycling at the Wards Intelligence #FOCUSElectrification event on 18-20/11/20. Will be talking about out #ReLiB project with The Faraday Institution and our other research at the Birmingham Centre for Strategic Elements and Critical Materials, Birmingham Energy Institute.

Gavin has been invited by Companies for Zero Waste to join the "Circular All-Star Team" to talk about Recycling Lithium Ion Batteries, and the work of the Faraday Institution's ReLiB project.

Designed for CEOs, Supply Chain Directors, Sustainability Directors, Investors and Consultants Blockchain, twin technology & AI.

About this Event

Theme of meeting: "Not every material or product is green, sustainable or circular. How do we shift from a linear to a circular economy with this recognized as we scale up investment into the resource based consumer driven demand economy?"
A three hour think tank discussing where OEMs, Investors & Start Ups will learn about:

• New Plastic Recycling Technologies
• Reverse Supply Chain Twin Technology
• Extended Producer Responsibility
• Bioplastics and Bio-Based Materials
• Precious and Rare Earth Metal Recycling
• Bio-Based Chemicals and Feedstocks
• EV & Lithium-ion Battery Recycling
• Urban Mining Solutions

Gavin is to deliver the closing address on the theme of "How we can manage the end of life for electric vehicle batteries in an effective way?" at TMB Groups confernece on Electrification for Trucks & Buses 7-8 April 2022. Electrification has become more critical than ever, since electrification of commercial and industrial transportation is helping to curb carbon emissions. Different national governments are facilitating the transition to truck and bus electrification with constantly developing national and international regulatory requirements promoting electric vehicle deployment. Apart from that, a growing number of manufacturers are now focusing on developing fuel cell and battery electric vehicles with the batter vehicle range capabilities. Thus electrification and battery development should be one of the vital tasks to for a bas and trucks manufacturers. The key challenges which companies have to deal with once they decide to set up the electrification model arise in charging infrastructure, implementation of suitable battery technologies to match the needs of the user, battery recycling, etc. Key topics: New and developing electrification technologies Growing the charging infrastructure to accelerate E-mobility Focusing on fuel-cells across the bus and truck sectors Ensuring compliance to specific emission standards Increasing the flexibility of EVs vis-a-vis different charging power levels Educating our customer on electrification and battery usage
