Battery Storage Value Chain

This certification provides a rock-solid overview and understanding of the battery value chain, production processes, and end-of-life scenarios. Specifically, participants will explore the battery raw materials, understand how a Li-ion battery is produced, evaluate how to regain value from end-of-life batteries learning about state-of-the-art scenarios related to batteries end-of-life in particular re-use and recycling. Certificate consists of the following courses: 1. Battery Storage Raw Materials and Supply Chain 2. From Materials to Battery cells 3. Batteries end-of-life: Reuse and Recycling Learner demonstrates competence in the following course outcomes: - Understand the reuse-recycling potential of lithium-ion battery technologies - Argue why EV batteries should be repurposed for stationary applications taking into account current limitations - Explain the technical challenges of recycling - Explain the different technical recycling approaches applied to portable and industrial battery types - Explain the operating principles of the main unit operations used in hydrometallurgy Learning hours: 13hrs
