Batteries2020 Workshop
1
Definition and initialization of re-purposing
systems
- Analysis of existing / pilot systems
• Literature analysis
• International projects (e.g. SUNBATT, Second Life Batteries project,
AlpStore, ABattRelife, etc.)
1
Definition and initialization of re-purposing
systems
- Analysis of existing / pilot systems
• Understanding of the whole chain of processes
Characterization of current practices/processes to clearly define and
understand the system in order to establish the system boundaries
(technological, geographical, etc.)
2
Definition and initialization of re-purposing
systems
- Analysis of existing / pilot systems
• Understanding of the whole chain of processes
Identification of the key actors of the battery chain
Contact/interview/collect information from key actors of the battery chain
3
Definition and initialization of re-purposing
systems
- Analysis of existing / pilot systems
• Understanding of the whole chain of processes
Questionnaires (developed based on Ardente et al. 2015)
Car companies
Waste batteries collectors
Repurposing companies
Actors using re-purposed
batteries
Experts
Interviews outcome
CRF (03/2016)
Renault: limited feedback
Peugeot: no feedback
Sitbat: we are in contact with them
4
Definition and initialization of re-purposing
systems
- Analysis of existing / pilot systems
• LCA literature review
There are already examples of LCA of EVs batteries
(even from-cradle-to-grave)
Different scenarios of energy storage are considered:
Stationary storage
Intermittent Renewable Energy Supply (RES) systems
Residential Demand/Response service
5
Definition and initialization of re-purposing
systems
- Analysis of existing / pilot systems
• LCA literature review
Li-ion batteries (LMO / LFP / )
Impact categories:
Climate change
Mineral resource depletion
Human Toxicity
Particulate Matter Formation
System boundaries:
Production process (raw materials extraction, transportation, assembly)
Use phase first life / second life / key parameters (e.g. temperature /
degradation / lifetime / DOD / …)
EoL usually recycling process is considered
6
Definition and initialization of re-purposing
systems
- Environmental assessment: open questions
• Functional unit
• Battery chemistry (LFP, LMO, NCA) and battery key parameters
• System boundaries based on
the literature review and
the interviews outcomes
To be clarified soon:
First life: from literature?
Second-life: our data
Recycling /disposal phase: from literature?
• Definition of the base-case scenario and of the comparison scenarios
• Impact categories:
ILCD/PEF recommendations will be used for the LCIA
Specific impact categories
7
Definition and initialization of re-purposing
systems
- Economic assessment: open questions
• Share of market / evolution
• Existing economic assessment concerning batteries second-life
application (e.g. Saez et al., 2015; Heymans et al., 2014; Gruber et al.,
2011; Viswanathan and Meyer, 2011; Wolfs, 2010; …)
