”High-performance, sustainably produced battery storage systems are key technologies for a low-carbon energy infrastructure and a clean future.”

The energy transition is crucial for a secure, environmentally friendly and economically successful future. It can, however, only succeed if energy generation, conversion and storage technologies are made even more efficient, cost-effective and environmentally friendly. Essential for this is the holistic and sustainable design of the production systems and life cycles of current and future energy storage systems. 

For the achievement of these overarching goals, aspects such as the establishment of European gigafactories for the production of battery cells, the energy-efficient operation of these factories, the provision and extraction of raw materials under ecological, economic and social aspects, compliance with the European Battery Directive and the transfer of production concepts to future battery chemistries, etc. are of crucial importance.

Would you like to expand your knowledge in the field of battery research, or do you perhaps have a specific inquiry?  

In our further-training program “EPR for Batteries: Rethinking the cycle” (Extended Producer Responsibility), you will acquire basic theoretical knowledge regarding the entire life cycle of a battery, including the legal framework conditions. Furthermore, the further-training program was developed in cooperation with the GRS Service GmbH and therefore also includes topics such as the collection and safe storage of used batteries. In a concluding face-to-face workshop, the requirements and responsibilities of individual decision-makers are discussed in order to successfully transfer the acquired knowledge into practice.
