Mosley estimates there are about 3,000 EVs in Calgary.</p> <p>She said that number is expected to rise significantly, and officials are forecasting hundreds of thousands of EVs will be on the road in the next 10 to 20 years.</p> <p>“(We) expect that (number) could go up to as high as 200,000 in the next 10 years, when you see what’s happening with manufacturing and a move to having EVs be the predominant manufactured vehicle here by 2035,” Mosley said.</p> <div class="c-ad c-ad--bigbox l-article__ad"> <p>Story continues below advertisement</p> </p></div> <blockquote class="c-blockquote l-article__blockquote "> <div> <p class="c-blockquote__content l-article__blockquoteContent">“We do expect we’re going to see some large adoption even in Calgary.”</p> </p></div> </blockquote> <p>Mosley is referring to the federal government’s pledge to shift to all zero-emission EVs by the year 2035.</p> <div class="l-article__part" data-shortcode="readmore"> <p class="c-readmore"> <span class="c-readmore__label"><strong>Read more: </strong></span><a class="c-readmore__link" href="https://globalnews.ca/news/8039066/canada-zero-emission-electric-vehicles/" data-track-region="content-read-more" title="Canada aiming to shift to all zero-emission electric vehicles by 2035: Federal government"><br /> Canada aiming to shift to all zero-emission electric vehicles by 2035: Federal government </a> </p> </p></div> <p>ENMAX is not alone in its prediction. The Alberta Electric System Operator is also predicting a major shift in Alberta towards EVs by the year 2041.</p> <p>In its latest report, AESO looked at four scenarios, ranging from an average to aggressive adoption rate of EVs.</p> <p>“The assumed number of electric vehicles is estimated to be 14,000 in 2021 and by 2041 is forecast to reach up to 195,000 vehicles in the reference case and 1,960,000 vehicles in the clean-tech scenario,” the report read.</p> <p>This will translate to nearly 400 MW of peak demand growth by 2040 on the low side or up to 3,900 MW of peak demand growth on the high end, attributed to EVs charging.</p> <section id="content-dynamic-trending-stories" class="l-inlineStories l-inlineStories--tile u-hide-tablet-landscape" aria-label="Dynamic trending stories

<p>ENMAX recently wrapped up a pilot program involving dozens of EV drivers and found many were plugging in at peak times and overnight.</p> <p>“We do see people coming home from work generally… (and still) people seem to be plugging in at around five o’clock in the evening, often charging overnight, even though a vehicle generally doesn’t need more than two-and-a-half hours to go to fully charge,” Mosley said.</p> <p>“This is something that we’re working on our next phase of our pilot — to see how we can work with consumers to influence that charging behaviour, so we can really minimize the impacts to the system and the need to reinforce it.”</p> <div class="l-article__part" data-shortcode="readmore"> <p class="c-readmore"> <span class="c-readmore__label"><strong>Read more:

bit harder, and it can impact the lifespan of our transformer, and then we might see the need for early replacements,” she said.</p> <p>It’s a concern echoed by Tesla owner Chris Feist.</p> <p>He purchased a Model X four years ago, and while he’s the only driver on his block with this type of vehicle, he knows he soon won’t be and wonders how the system will handle more charging stations connecting to the grid.</p> <p>“Right now, we don’t have enough infrastructure to support everybody driving an electric vehicle, so the challenge is going to be: what do we need to retrofit neighbourhoods so everybody has a 60 or 80 amp service in their garage and that everyone can plug in at the same time and we don’t have rolling blackouts or brownouts?” he said.</p> <div

In most cases, drivers pay a fee for the charging service.<br /> <br />  <br /> <br /> The rules that WSDA will develop include: </p> <ul> </p> <li>Requiring that charging stations offer multiple payment options.</li> <p> </p> <li>Establishing requirements that producers make charging stations that can be used by a variety of vehicles, using non-proprietary software.</li> <p> </p> <li>Establishing reasonable registration fees for producers of charging stations, in addition to the registration fees already charged for installing a charging port, to cover WSDA administrative costs.</li> <p> </ul> <p> As a first step, WSDA will hold several meetings with those interested in electric vehicles and publicly available charging stations. These stakeholder meetings are open to representatives from electric vehicle manufacturers, companies that produce charging stations, businesses that host charging stations at their facilities, electric vehicle owners and any others interested in this issue.</p> <p>  </p> <p> Each meeting will address a different aspect of the rule development. Here is the meeting schedule: </p> <ul> </p> <li>Aug. 23, 9AM – 11AM: Providing an overview of the rule-making process and amendments.</li> <p> </p> <li>Sept. 8, 9AM – 11AM: Discussion of the requirements for multiple payment options for all publicly available level 2 and DC fast charger supply equipment.</li> <p> </p> <li>Sept. 22, 9AM – 11AM:  Discussion of nonproprietary interoperability standards for publicly available level 2 and DC fast charger supply equipment.</li> <p> </p> <li>Sept. 29, 9AM – 11AM: Establishing fees and reporting requirements.</li> <p> </ul> <p> All meetings will be held virtually over video and teleconference.

Targeted business tax changes and incentives are required to make the transition away combustion engine cars.</p> <p>By comparison, Europe is leading the way in incentivising its road transport sector to transition to battery electric vehicles (BEVs), beyond petrol-electric hybrid models. In the Netherlands, for example, the penetration of BEVs is 73%, while in Australia the BEV take-up is only 1%.</p> <p>The United Nations Climate Change Conference is in Glasgow in November. To address climate change, participants including Australia, are expected to commit to lower CO₂ emissions by 2050.</p> <p><b>‘Technology not taxes’</b></p> <p>One response by the Australian government is its policy to address road transport’s future fuels and emissions, captured by the slogan “Technology not taxes”.</p> <p>A recent example of this policy’s practical implementation is the Morrison government’s provision of $25 million in cash from the taxpayer-funded Future Fuels Fund.</p> <p>Cash grants have been recently won by businesses, such as Ampol and Chargefox, to install electric vehicle charging stations for public use. Ampol could install EV charge stations alongside its petrol pumps in its network around Australia. This funding goes toward the government’s aim to boost the rollout of fast-charging stations across the country.</p> <p>But the Monash Business School’s Dr. Diane Kraal, together with Anna Mortimore from Griffith University, argue that Australia’s road transport emissions reductions need to go further and be facilitated by the federal tax system and technology.</p> <p>They’ve recently launched a project named “Business fleets and EVs: Taxation changes to support home charging from the grid, and affordability”.</p> <p>Fleets comprise about 40% of passenger and light commercial vehicles on Australian roads. They argue that taxation support is the key to exponentially increasing BEVs in company fleets.</p> <p> <!-- Google middle Adsense block --></p> <p>“In the quest to lower CO₂ emissions, the tax system is an integral tool, and should be used transparently, and not muddied by politics,” Dr. Kraal says.</p> <p>The researchers say that in Europe, taxation is fundamental to incentivise companies to switch to EVs, a process often supported by overarching EU regulations.</p> <p>Their project, valued at $220,000, has been awarded by the Reliable Affordable Clean Energy (RACE) for 2030 cooperative research centre.</p> <p>The project is investigating taxation solutions to fix the low levels of business-site EV-charging infrastructure, and the affordability of battery electric vehicles (BEVs). These are seen as the main barriers for low numbers of BEVs in business fleets.</p> <p>The project sees business as more rational in selecting business assets, such as BEVs, as they’re more focused on cost.</p> <p>It’s examining the prospect of company fleet-car charging at company employees’ homes overnight as one short-term solution.</p> <p>A driver’s fear of running out of EV power mid-trip is referred to as “range anxiety”. Tax changes are needed to facilitate a quick shift to EV home-charging, as we wait for more business and public charging facilities to become available, Dr. Kraal says.</p> <p>As for the cost of EVs, “the gap between the low cost of a petrol car and a high-cost EV must be facilitated by the federal tax system”, she says.</p> <p><b>Focus on the fleets</b></p> <p>Central to the research are interviews of fleet managers from a selection of ASX-listed companies and local government city councils to gauge their views on EV home-charging, the high cost of EVs, and tax incentives.</p> <p>The interviews will inform a larger survey to target ASX companies with fleet cars.</p> <p>Fleet employees won’t be forgotten, as the project will survey their reactions to business requests for EV home-charging, and associated costs. Fleet employees are considered important, as they’ll be the frontline drivers of EVs, and potential purchasers of ex-fleet EVs.</p> <p>This RACE project is due to finish by October 2021, in time for the November-scheduled UN Climate Change Conference in Glasgow, known as COP26.</p> <p>The project contributes to the debate for taxes as a tool to facilitate changes to lower CO₂ emissions in the Australian road transport sector. </p> <hr/> <div class="article-main__explore my-4 d-print-none"> <p> <a class="text-medium text-info mt-2 d-inline-block" href="https://techxplore.com/news/2021-08-dutch-electric-car-stations.html">Dutch lead charge for electric car stations</a> </div> <hr class="mb-4"/> <div class="d-inline-block text-medium my-4"> Provided by<br /> <a href="https://techxplore.com/partners/monash-university/">Monash University</a><br /> <a class="icon_open" href="http://www.monash.edu.au/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"><br /> <svg> <use href="https://techx.b-cdn.net/tmpl/v2/img/svg/sprite.svg#icon_open" x="0" y="0"/> </svg><br /> </a></p></div> <p> <!-- print only --></p> <div class="d-none d-print-block"> <p> <strong>Citation</strong>:<br /> A fleet-footed focus to improve electric vehicle uptake in Australia (2021, August 17)<br /> retrieved 17 August 2021<br /> from https://techxplore.com/news/2021-08-fleet-footed-focus-electric-vehicle-uptake-1.html </p> <p> This document is subject to copyright.

Earlier this year, the US automobile giant General Motors announced that it aims to stop selling petrol-powered and diesel models by 2035. Audi, based in Germany, plans to stop producing such vehicles by 2033. Many other automotive multinationals have issued similar road maps. Suddenly, major carmakers’ foot-dragging on electrifying their fleets is turning into a rush for the exit.</p> <p>The electrification of personal mobility is picking up speed in a way that even its most ardent proponents might not have dreamt of just a few years ago. In many countries, government mandates will accelerate change. But even without new policies or regulations, half of global passenger-vehicle sales in 2035 will be electric, according to the BloombergNEF (BNEF) consultancy in London.</p> <p>This massive industrial conversion marks a “shift from a fuel-intensive to a material-intensive energy system”, declared the International Energy Agency (IEA) in May^{<a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/#ref-CR1" data-track="click" data-action="anchor-link" data-track-label="go to reference" data-track-category="references">1</a>}. In the coming decades, hundreds of millions of vehicles will hit the roads, carrying massive batteries inside them (see ‘Going electric’). And each of those batteries will contain tens of kilograms of materials that have yet to be mined.</p> <figure class="figure"> <div class="embed intensity--high"> <img decoding="async" class="figure__image" alt="Going electric: a graph that show the projected raise in sales of battery electric vehicles up until 2040." src="https://technologynewsroom.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/how-will-the-world-produce-enough.png"/><br /> <noscript><br /> <img decoding="async" class="" alt="Going electric: a graph that show the projected raise in sales of battery electric vehicles up until 2040." src="https://technologynewsroom.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/how-will-the-world-produce-enough.png"/><br /> </noscript><figcaption> <p class="figure__caption u-sans-serif"><span>Source: Ref. 2</span></p> </figcaption></div> </figure> <p>Anticipating a world dominated by electric vehicles, materials scientists are working on two big challenges. One is how to cut down on the metals in batteries that are scarce, expensive, or problematic because their mining carries harsh environmental and social costs. Another is to improve battery recycling, so that the valuable metals in spent car batteries can be efficiently reused. “Recycling will play a key role in the mix,” says Kwasi Ampofo, a mining engineer who is the lead analyst on metals and mining at BNEF.</p> <p>Battery- and carmakers are already spending billions of dollars on reducing the costs of manufacturing and recycling electric-vehicle (EV) batteries — spurred in part by government incentives and the expectation of forthcoming regulations. National research funders have also founded centres to study better ways to make and recycle batteries. Because it is still less expensive, in most instances, to mine metals than to recycle them, a key goal is to develop processes to recover valuable metals cheaply enough to compete with freshly mined ones. “The biggest talker is money,” says Jeffrey Spangenberger, a chemical engineer at Argonne National Laboratory in Lemont, Illinois, who manages a US federally funded lithium-ion battery-recycling initiative, called ReCell.</p> <h2><b>Lithium future</b></h2> <p>The first challenge for researchers is to reduce the amounts of metals that need to be mined for EV batteries. Amounts vary depending on the battery type and model of vehicle, but a single car lithium-ion battery pack (of a type known as NMC532) could contain around 8 kg of lithium, 35 kg of nickel, 20 kg of manganese and 14 kg of cobalt, according to figures from Argonne National Laboratory.</p> <p>Analysts don’t anticipate a move away from lithium-ion batteries any time soon: their cost has plummeted so dramatically that they are likely to be the dominant technology for the foreseeable future. They are now 30 times cheaper than when they first entered the market as small, portable batteries in the early 1990s, even as their performance has improved. BNEF projects that the cost of a lithium-ion EV battery pack will fall below US$100 per kilowatt-hour by 2023, or roughly 20% lower than today (see ‘Plummeting costs of batteries’). As a result, electric cars — which are still more expensive than conventional ones — should reach price parity by the mid-2020s. (By some estimates, electric cars are already cheaper than petrol vehicles over their lifetimes, thanks to being less expensive to power and maintain.)</p> <figure class="figure"> </figure> <p>To produce electricity, lithium-ion batteries shuttle lithium ions internally from one layer, called the anode, to another, the cathode. The two are separated by yet another layer, the electrolyte. Cathodes are the main limiting factor in battery performance — and they are where the most valuable metals lie.</p> <p>The cathode of a typical lithium-ion battery cell is a thin layer of goo containing micro-scale crystals, which are often similar in structure to minerals that occur naturally in Earth’s crust or mantle, such as olivines or spinels. The crystals pair up negatively charged oxygen with positively charged lithium and various other metals — in most electric cars, a mix of nickel, manganese and cobalt. Recharging a battery rips lithium ions out of these oxide crystals and pulls the ions to a graphite-based anode where they are stored, sandwiched between layers of carbon atoms (see ‘Electric heart’).</p> <figure class="figure"> <div class="embed intensity--high"> <img decoding="async" class="figure__image" alt="Electric heart: an infographic that shows how battery packs for electric vehicles are arranged, and how the cells operate." src="https://technologynewsroom.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/1629196128_953_how-will-the-world-produce-enough.png"/><br /> <noscript><br /> <img decoding="async" class="" alt="Electric heart: an infographic that shows how battery packs for electric vehicles are arranged, and how the cells operate." src="https://technologynewsroom.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/1629196128_953_how-will-the-world-produce-enough.png"/><br /> </noscript><figcaption> <p class="figure__caption u-sans-serif"><span>Source: Adapted from G.

A June report by BNEF^{<a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/#ref-CR2" data-track="click" data-action="anchor-link" data-track-label="go to reference" data-track-category="references">2</a>} estimated that the current reserves of the metal — 21 million tonnes, according to the US Geological Survey — are enough to carry the conversion to EVs through to the mid-century. And reserves are a malleable concept, because they represent the amount of a resource that can be economically extracted at current prices and given current technology and regulatory requirements. For most materials, if demand goes up, reserves eventually do, too.</p> <p>As cars electrify, the challenge lies in scaling up lithium production to meet demand, Ampofo says. “It’s going to grow by about seven times between 2020 and 2030.”</p> <p>This could result in temporary shortages and dramatic price swings, he says. But market hiccups will not change the picture in the long term. “As more processing capacity is built, these shortages are likely to work themselves out,” says Haresh Kamath, a specialist in energy storage at the Electric Power Research Institute in Palo Alto, California.</p> <figure class="figure"> <div class="embed intensity--high"> <img decoding="async" class="figure__image" alt="Salt deposits sit in huge piles inside a warehouse at a lithium production facility at the Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia" src="https://technologynewsroom.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/how-will-the-world-produce-enough.jpg"/><br /> <noscript><br /> <img decoding="async" class="" alt="Salt deposits sit in huge piles inside a warehouse at a lithium production facility at the Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia" src="https://technologynewsroom.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/how-will-the-world-produce-enough.jpg"/><br /> </noscript><figcaption> <p class="figure__caption u-sans-serif"><span class="mr10">Salt deposits in a lithium production facility at the Uyuni salt flats in Potosi, Bolivia.</span><span>Credit: Carlos Becerra/Bloomberg/Getty</span></p> </figcaption></div> </figure> <p>The increase in lithium mining carries its own environmental concerns: current forms of extraction require copious amounts of energy (for lithium extracted from rock) or water (for extraction from brines). But more-modern techniques that extract lithium from geothermal water, using geothermal energy to drive the process, are considered more benign. And despite this environmental toll, mining lithium will help to displace destructive fossil-fuel extraction.</p> <p>Researchers are more worried about cobalt, which is the most valuable ingredient of current EV batteries. Two-thirds of global supply are mined in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Human-rights activists have raised concerns over conditions there, in particular over child labour and harm to workers’ health; like other heavy metals, cobalt is toxic if not handled properly. Alternative sources could be exploited, such as the metal-rich ‘nodules’ found on the sea floor, but they present their own environmental hazards. And nickel, another major component of EV batteries, could also face shortages^{<a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/#ref-CR3" data-track="click" data-action="anchor-link" data-track-label="go to reference" data-track-category="references">3</a>}.</p> <h2><b>Managing metals</b></h2> <p>To address the issues with raw materials, a number of laboratories have been experimenting with low-cobalt or cobalt-free cathodes. But cathode materials must be carefully designed so that their crystal structures don’t break up, even if more than half the lithium ions are removed during charging. And abandoning cobalt altogether often lowers a battery’s energy density, says materials scientist Arumugam Manthiram at the University of Texas in Austin, because it alters the cathode’s crystal structure and how tightly it can bind lithium.</p> <p>Manthiram is among the researchers who have solved that problem — at least in the lab — by showing that cobalt can be eliminated from cathodes without compromising performance^{<a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/#ref-CR4" data-track="click" data-action="anchor-link" data-track-label="go to reference" data-track-category="references">4</a>}. “The cobalt-free material we reported has the same crystal structure as lithium cobalt oxide, and therefore the same energy density,” or even better, says Manthiram. His team did this by fine-tuning the way in which cathodes are produced and adding small quantities of other metals — while retaining the cathode’s cobalt-oxide crystal structure. Manthiram says it should be straightforward to adopt this process in existing factories, and has founded a start-up firm called TexPower to try to bring it to market within the next two years. Other labs around the world are working on cobalt-free batteries: in particular, the pioneering EV maker Tesla, based in Palo Alto, California, has said it plans to eliminate the metal from its batteries in the next few years.</p> <p>Sun Yang-Kook at Hanyang University in Seoul, South Korea, is another materials scientist who has achieved similar performance in cobalt-free cathodes. Sun says that some technical problems might remain in creating the new cathodes, because the process relies on refining nickel-rich ores, which can require expensive pure-oxygen atmospheres. But many researchers now consider the cobalt problem essentially solved. Manthiram and Sun “have shown that you can make really good materials without cobalt and [that] perform really well”, says Jeff Dahn, a chemist at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Canada.</p> <figure class="figure"> <div class="embed intensity--high"> <img decoding="async" class="figure__image" alt="A woman and a man separating cobalt from mud and rocks by a river in the Democratic Republic of Congo" src="https://technologynewsroom.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/1629196129_501_how-will-the-world-produce-enough.jpg"/><br /> <noscript><br /> <img decoding="async" class="" alt="A woman and a man separating cobalt from mud and rocks by a river in the Democratic Republic of Congo" src="https://technologynewsroom.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/1629196129_501_how-will-the-world-produce-enough.jpg"/><br /> </noscript><figcaption> <p class="figure__caption u-sans-serif"><span class="mr10">Workers extract cobalt near a mine between Lubumbashi and Kolwezi, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.</span><span>Credit: Federico Scoppa/AFP/Getty</span></p> </figcaption></div> </figure> <p>Nickel, although not as expensive as cobalt, isn’t cheap, either. Researchers want to remove it as well. “We have addressed the cobalt scarcity, but because we’re scaling so rapidly, we are heading straight for a nickel problem,” says Gerbrand Ceder, a materials scientist at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in Berkeley, California. But removing both cobalt and nickel will require switching to radically different crystal structures for cathode materials.</p> <p>One approach is to adopt materials called disordered rock salts. They get their name because of their cubic crystal structure, which is similar to that of sodium chloride, with oxygen playing the part of chlorine and a mix of heavy metals replacing the sodium. Over the past decade, Ceder’s team and other groups have shown that certain lithium-rich rock salts allow the lithium to easily slip in and out — a crucial property to enable repeated charging^{<a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/#ref-CR5" data-track="click" data-action="anchor-link" data-track-label="go to reference" data-track-category="references">5</a>}. But, unlike conventional cathode materials, disordered rock salts do not require cobalt or nickel to remain stable during that process. In particular, they can be made with manganese, which is cheap and plentiful, Ceder says.</p> <h2><b>Recycle better</b></h2> <p>If batteries are to be made without cobalt, researchers will face an unintended consequence. The metal is the main factor that makes recycling batteries economical, because other materials, especially lithium, are currently cheaper to mine than to recycle.</p> <p>In a typical recycling plant, batteries are first shredded, which turns cells into a powdered mixture of all the materials used. That mix is then broken down into its elemental constituents, either by liquefying it in a smelter (pyrometallurgy) or by dissolving it in acid (hydrometallurgy). Finally, metals are precipitated out of solution as salts.</p> <figure class="figure"> <div class="embed intensity--high"> <img decoding="async" class="figure__image" alt="An electric car battery module entering a battery shredder with powerful metal teeth" src="https://technologynewsroom.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/1629196129_922_how-will-the-world-produce-enough.jpg"/><br /> <noscript><br /> <img decoding="async" class="" alt="An electric car battery module entering a battery shredder with powerful metal teeth" src="https://technologynewsroom.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/1629196129_922_how-will-the-world-produce-enough.jpg"/><br /> </noscript><figcaption> <p class="figure__caption u-sans-serif"><span class="mr10">A mechanical shredder grinds up battery modules, here shown at the Duesenfeld recycling plant in Germany.</span><span>Credit: Wolfram Schroll/Duesenfeld</span></p> </figcaption></div> </figure> <p>Research efforts have focused on improving the process to make recycled lithium economically attractive. The vast majority of lithium-ion batteries are produced in China, Japan and South Korea; accordingly, recycling capabilities are growing fastest there. For example, Foshan-based Guangdong Brunp — a subsidiary of CATL, China’s largest maker of lithium-ion cells — can recycle 120,000 tonnes of batteries per year, according to a spokesperson. That’s the equivalent of what would be used in more than 200,000 cars, and the firm is able to recover most of the lithium, cobalt and nickel. Government policies are helping to encourage this: China already has financial and regulatory incentives for battery companies that source materials from recycling firms instead of importing freshly mined ones, says Hans Eric Melin, managing director of Circular Energy Storage, a consulting company in London.</p> <p>The European Commission has proposed strict battery-recycling requirements which could be phased in from 2023 — although prospects for the bloc to develop a domestic recycling industry are uncertain^{<a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/#ref-CR6" data-track="click" data-action="anchor-link" data-track-label="go to reference" data-track-category="references">6</a>}. The administration of US President Joe Biden, meanwhile, wants to spend billions of dollars to foster a domestic EV battery-manufacturing industry and support recycling, but hasn’t yet proposed regulations beyond existing legislation classing batteries as hazardous waste that must be safely disposed of. Some North American start-up firms say they can already recover the majority of a battery’s metals, including lithium, at costs that are competitive with those of mining them, although analysts say that, at this stage, the overall economics are only advantageous because of the cobalt.</p> <figure class="figure"> <div class="embed intensity--high"> <img decoding="async" class="figure__image" alt="A worker scrapes black mass off metal plates at the Li-Cycle lithium-ion battery recycling facility" src="https://technologynewsroom.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/1629196130_234_how-will-the-world-produce-enough.jpg"/><br /> <noscript><br /> <img decoding="async" class="" alt="A worker scrapes black mass off metal plates at the Li-Cycle lithium-ion battery recycling facility" src="https://technologynewsroom.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/1629196130_234_how-will-the-world-produce-enough.jpg"/><br /> </noscript><figcaption> <p class="figure__caption u-sans-serif"><span class="mr10">Ground-up battery powder, or ‘black mass’, gets cleaned from plates at Li-Cycle’s battery recycling facility in Kingston, Ontario, Canada.</span><span>Credit: Christinne Muschi/Bloomberg/Getty</span></p> </figcaption></div> </figure> <p>A more radical approach is to reuse the cathode crystals, rather than break down their structure, as hydro- and pyrometallurgy do. ReCell, the US$15-million collaboration managed by Spangenberger, includes three national labs, three universities and numerous industry players. It is developing techniques that will enable recyclers to extract the cathode crystals and resell them. One crucial step, after the batteries have been shredded, is to separate the cathode materials from the rest using heat, chemicals or other methods. “The reason we’re so enthusiastic about retaining the crystal structure is that it took a lot of energy and know-how to put that together. That’s where a lot of the value is,” says Linda Gaines, a physical chemist at Argonne and the principal analyst for ReCell.</p> <p>These reprocessing techniques work with a range of crystal structures and compositions, Gaines says. But if a recycling centre receives a waste stream that includes many types of battery, various types of cathode material will end up in the recycling cauldron. This could complicate efforts to separate out the different cathode-crystal types. Although processes developed by ReCell can easily separate nickel, manganese and cobalt from other kinds of cells, such as those that use lithium iron phosphate, for example, they will have a hard time separating two types that both contain cobalt and nickel, but in different proportions. For this and other reasons, it will be crucial for batteries to carry some kind of standardized barcode that tells recyclers what’s inside, Spangenberger says.</p> <figure class="figure"> <div class="embed intensity--high"> <img decoding="async" class="figure__image" alt="A worker wearing a ventilated gas mask dismantles a electric vehicle battery with a hand drill" src="https://technologynewsroom.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/1629196130_284_how-will-the-world-produce-enough.jpg"/><br /> <noscript><br /> <img decoding="async" class="" alt="A worker wearing a ventilated gas mask dismantles a electric vehicle battery with a hand drill" src="https://technologynewsroom.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/1629196130_284_how-will-the-world-produce-enough.jpg"/><br /> </noscript><figcaption> <p class="figure__caption u-sans-serif"><span class="mr10">A worker at car firm Renault prepares to dismantle a battery.

The cathodes that manufacturers will use 10–15 years from now — at the end of the life cycle of present-day cars — could very well be different from today’s. The most efficient way to get the materials out could be for the manufacturer to collect its own batteries at the end of the life cycle. And batteries should be designed from the ground up in a way that makes them easier to take apart, Gaines adds.</p> <p>Materials scientist Andrew Abbott at the University of Leicester, UK, argues that recycling will be much more profitable if it skips the shredding stage and takes the cells apart directly. He and his collaborators have developed a technique for separating out cathode materials using ultrasound^{<a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/#ref-CR7" data-track="click" data-action="anchor-link" data-track-label="go to reference" data-track-category="references">7</a>}. This works best in battery cells that are packed flat rather than rolled up (as common ‘cylindrical’ cells are), and, Abbott adds, can make recycled materials much cheaper than virgin mined metals. He is involved in a £14-million (US$19-million) UK government research scheme on battery sustainability, called ReLiB.</p> <h2><b>Crank up the volume</b></h2> <p>Whichever recycling processes become standard, scale will help. Although media reports tend to describe the coming deluge of spent batteries as a looming crisis, analysts see it as a big opportunity, says Melin. Once millions of large batteries begin to reach the end of their lives, economies of scale will kick in and make recycling more efficient — and the business case for it more attractive.</p> <figure class="figure"> <div class="embed intensity--high"> <img decoding="async" class="figure__image" alt="Employees install batteries into elevated cars on the production line of an electric vehicle production facility in China" src="https://technologynewsroom.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/1629196130_425_how-will-the-world-produce-enough.jpg"/><br /> <noscript><br /> <img decoding="async" class="" alt="Employees install batteries into elevated cars on the production line of an electric vehicle production facility in China" src="https://technologynewsroom.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/1629196130_425_how-will-the-world-produce-enough.jpg"/><br /> </noscript><figcaption> <p class="figure__caption u-sans-serif"><span class="mr10">An electric car production pipeline at Nio’s factory in Hefei, China.</span><span>Credit: Qilai Shen/Bloomberg/Getty</span></p> </figcaption></div> </figure> <p>Analysts say the example of lead-acid batteries — the ones that start petrol-powered cars — gives reason for optimism. Because lead is toxic, those batteries are classified as hazardous waste and have to be disposed of safely. But an efficient industry has developed to recycle them instead, even though lead is cheap. “Over 98% of lead-acid batteries are recovered and recycled,” Kamath says. “The value of a lead-acid battery is even lower than a lithium-ion battery. But because of volume, it makes sense to recycle anyway,” Melin says.</p> <p>It might take a while until the market for lithium-ion batteries reaches its full size, in part because these batteries have become exceptionally durable: present car batteries might last up to 20 years, Kamath says. In a typical electric car sold today, the battery pack will outlive the vehicle it was built into, says Melin.</p> <p>That means that when old EVs are sent to scrap, the batteries are often neither thrown away nor recycled. Instead, they are taken out and reused for less-demanding applications, such as stationary energy storage or powering boats. After ten years of use, a car battery such as the Nissan Leaf’s, which originally held 50 kilowatt-hours, will have lost at most 20% of its capacity.</p> <p>Another May report from the IEA, an organization noted for its historically cautious forecasts, included a road map^{<a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/#ref-CR8" data-track="click" data-action="anchor-link" data-track-label="go to reference" data-track-category="references">8</a>} to achieve global net-zero emissions by mid-century, which includes conversion to electric transport as a cornerstone. The confidence that this is achievable reflects a growing consensus among policymakers, researchers and manufacturers that challenges to electrifying cars are now entirely solvable — and that if we want to have any hope of keeping climate change to a manageable level, there is no time to lose.</p> <p>But some researchers complain that electric vehicles seem to be held to an impossible standard in terms of the environmental impact of their batteries. “It would be unfortunate and counterproductive to discard a good solution by insisting on a perfect solution,” says Kamath. “That does not mean, of course, that we should not work aggressively on the battery disposal question.”</p> </p></div> </div><footer class="entry-footer"></footer></article><div class="archive-pagination pagination"
