Building a Resilient EV Battery Value Chain
This Policy Brief was first published in https://t20ind.org
The transition to cleaner modes of transport is of primary importance to meet the challenges of global warming. Existing technological capabilities and policy frameworks have increased emphasis, globally, on using electric vehicles (EVs) in the transport sector. Most countries have aligned their policies to incentivise and provide infrastructural support to develop EVs and enhance consumer acceptance. While some developed countries have followed a more comprehensive approach by including End of Life (EoL) batteries in their policy framework, many are yet to initiate clear guidelines. Recycling EoL batteries benefits the environment and human health, and unscientific management of EoL batteries may have dangerous implications. This Policy Brief explores current technological and policy opportunities for, and barriers to improving circularity in EV battery systems. The brief recommends developing a sustainable global framework in this direction.
