Green Batteries Conference 2021

The Green Batteries Conference 2021 provided a look at the entire battery value chain, from raw materials to current and future cell and system technologies, operation and maintenance, end-of-life, reuse, recycling - reprocessing of battery components, functional materials, and the political and regulatory framework. International experts from upstream and downstream the value chain met virtually to discuss the latest developments.

 

More than 1100 interested people registered for the conference to follow the whole conference or at least to be present at one or another session. Many thanks to the BATTERY 2030+ team and the European Lithium Institute eLi for the great cooperation in organizing and designing the conference and to our sponsor CEPA for the support.

And thanks also to the members of the Advisory Board, the Scientific Board and the authors, who all together provided a highly interesting and informative program.

 

 

Due to the demand for the presentations, we have asked the speakers for permission to make their presentations available - if possible - for the website. Some of the presentations from the sessions have already been released and linked accordingly in the program with the presentation titles, some are still in the release phase. We will keep registered participants updated on this.

The conference took place as free of charge online event:
October 2021, 5/12/19/26 (every Tuesday afternoon 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. / UTC +2 (DST))
 

The timing fits well, the EU Green Deal and strategic research initiatives on European cell manufacturing are gaining momentum, and the questions of raw material requirements and resource-saving innovative technologies are being widely discussed. Research and development are using new ways to create powerful and environmentally friendly batteries – faster and more efficiently with fewer resources, and the European Union is set to rewrite the rules in the EU with the new Battery Regulation.

 

 

Six thematic sessions

Conference sessions throughout October 2021 every Tuesday afternoon between 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. / UTC +2 (DST)

Unfortunately, due to limited time in the sessions, only a portion of the interesting submissions could be considered for the presentations.

Therefore, some of the authors have submitted their presentations as posters, which can be viewed here on the website.
