Abstract The market dynamics, and their impact on a future circular economy for lithium-ion batteries (LIB), are presented in this roadmap, with safety as an integral consideration throughout the life cycle. At point of end-of-life (EOL), there is range potential options—remanufacturing, reuse recycling. Diagnostics play significant role evaluating state-of-health condition batteries, improvements to diagnostic techniques evaluated. present, manual disassembly dominates EOL disposal,...
Net zero targets have resulted in a drive to decarbonise the transport sector worldwide through electrification. This has, turn, led an exponentially growing battery market and, conversely, increasing attention on how we can reduce environmental impact of batteries and promote more efficient circular economy achieve real net zero. As these reach end their first life, challenges arise as collect process them, order maximise economical use before finally being recycled. Despite body work...
Purpose With the UK’s accelerating plans to transition electric mobility, this paper aims highlight need for policies prepare appropriate management of vehicle (EV) lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) as they reach end their life. Design/methodology/approach This is a regulatory review based on projections EV LIBs coming off market and associated problems waste together with development servitisation model. Findings Circular economy in unlikely shape itself because LIB recycling challenging still...
This paper is a report of study to explore perceptions ageing, dementia and ageing-associated mental health difficulties amongst British people Punjabi Indian origin.People from ethnic minorities are often under-represented in services. Contributing factors may include lack knowledge these communities, detection primary care, expectations family care appropriate For this change, greater needed about awareness conceptualization minority communities.A focus-group was conducted between 2001...
The UK Government has announced its plans to bring forward the deadline for phasing out all petrol and diesel vehicles from 2040 2030, 10 years earlier than planned. This is a radical acceleration in transition electric mobility. need draw up coherent robust regulatory structures managing end-of-life consequences of this now more urgent ever. article explores potential role extended producer responsibility (EPR) facilitating safe sustainable management vehicle (EV) batteries at their end...
The decarbonisation of energy systems, as a vital component the transition to low carbon economy, continues generate demand for finite resources. These come in form not coal, oil gas, or other fossil fuels but suite critical raw materials, usually minerals, which are crucial components working renewable supplies and associated shifts such that electric mobility. In this article we assess rising these materials their role transition. This is context efforts decarbonise systems line with...
Concerns about climate change and energy security are driving a global shift towards renewable sources green technologies such as electric vehicles (EVs), storage wind turbines. This commentary analyses the policy challenges raised by growing demand for critical metals needed this transition to net zero. It is crucial that UK's strategy looks beyond merely increasing primary supply or new mining, strategies ensure better stewardship of secondary mineral resources already contained in range...
