Battery Council International Dan LangdonPresident East Penn Manufacturing Co., Inc.Current President BCI
Agenda • Regulatory Legislation • Global Implications • Election Year Implications • North America Industrial Battery Forecast & Data • North America SLI Battery Forecast & Marketing Data • Effects on Distributors • Battery Council International
Now with Ohio: Pb Battery Recycling Laws - April 2008 Recycling Laws BCI Model Disposal Ban
Recycling • 97% of all battery lead is recycled • Compared to: • 55% of aluminum soft drink and beer cans • 45% of newspapers • 26% of glass bottles • 26% of tires
Recycling • The typical new lead-acid battery contains 60 to 80 percent recycled lead and plastic.
Air Transportation Safety • Continues to be a concern • FAA now has 95 “incidents” on its list • Biggest focus is lithium/lithium ions • Most recent incident involved nonspillable lead-acid batteries shipped by manufacturer • Average FAA penalty now $80,000 • New battery transportation rule to be proposed this summer
National Ambient Air Quality Standard for Lead (NAAQS) • 1976 – Lead added to list of criteria pollutants • 1978 – Primary and secondary NAAQS set • 1.5 µg/m3, quarterly average • May 2008 – Proposed revision rule due • September 2008 – Final rule • September 2011 – States must amend their regulations (SIPs). This probably means new permit restrictions.
Change in Emissions Sources • 2002 National Emissions Inventory (NEI) • ~1700 tons lead emitted per year • From >12,000 point sources plus non-point, mobile • NEI does NOT include near-roadway resuspension of soils/dust that may contain historically deposited lead • California study suggests this may contribute up to 8 times the emissions from stationary & mobile sources combined
Aviation Fuel 392 Utility Boilers 221 Industrial/ Comm /Institutional Boilers & Process Heaters 191 Iron and Steel Foundries 110 Primary Lead Smelting 59 Secondary Lead Smelting 46 Mining 38 Military Installations 33 Municipal Waste Combustors 33 Electric Arc Furnaces (EAF) 32 Integrated Iron & Steel Mfg. 32 Pressed & Blown Glass & Glassware Mfg. 32 Lead Acid Battery Mfg. 25 Secondary Nonferrous Metals 23 Hazardous Waste Incineration 22 Total (Includes Categories Not Listed Above) 1640 Emissions Sources
Climate Change Regulation • Potentially the biggest Federal regulatory program since the New Deal • “Cap and Trade” bills would require major emitters (factories) of greenhouse gases to obtain allowances • All electricity prices will go up … a lot • May encourage off-shore production
Global Implications • European union directives on recycling • Registration, Evaluation and Authorization of Chemicals (REACH) • Proof for demonstration for safe use of chemicals • Continued consolidation in all segments of the channel everywhere • Rising cost of raw materials • Cost of inventory ties up our capital • A global economy-outsourcing to China, India and even Vietnam
China Issues • Higher cost of oil feeds inflation in China - up to 15% annually • Prices rising from much higher shipping rates • Cost of sending a 40 foot container from China to the US West Coast soared 150% to $5,500 since 2000 (Source: CIBC World Markets)
China Issues • The shift back to the US has started • The weaker dollar has made our products more attractive • Little value in having millions of dollars in inventory sitting in the middle of the Pacific Ocean • China elimination of VAT Refund is leveling the playing field
From BCI Perspective • Little real progress in Congress in 2008 • Many oversight hearings • Few policy-oriented policymakers • Increase in legislation and regulation - particularly in the environment
Election Outcome Implications • Climate change legislation by Nov. 2009 • Lieberman-Warner (originally called McCain-Lieberman) bill • Other environmental and occupational health initiatives by mid-year • Basel ratification/TSCA amendments • E-waste mandate (new RCRA recycling title?) • Limitation on imports from some countries • Lead paint in housing legislation
Election Outcome Implications • OSHA lead standard in 2010 or 2011 • Imitation of European Union Directives by 2011
What About the Candidates • Both candidates favor environmental protection • Offshore and Alaska drilling will be major issue • Vagueness about environmental issues other than climate change • Obama offers specifics including emphasis on lead poisoning of children • Transition papers and appointments will be key
111th Congress Could Be Huge • Climate change legislation • Additional EPA regulation • Securities/Banking legislation • Federal regulation of insurance industry • Restrictive trade legislation
