Update of activities in Europe • RECHARGE 6th WRBRF, March 23-24, Berlin • PPT 1.b.1.
1. Agenda Introduction: EuropeanPolicy on Sustainability & Global Issues • Batteries and the European Policy • Placingon the market • End of Life • Transport and Safety
4 Key Priorities in the European Agenda • Climate Change • 2. Renewable and low carbon Energy • 3. Critical Raw Materials • 4. Resource Efficiency Batteries are the ‘pacemakers’ of progress.
2030 Climate & Energy Goals • A binding greenhouse gas reduction target • Reduction of GHG emissions by 40% below 1990 level • Request that EU Council & Parliament pledge for this 40% during the international negotiations on a new climate agreement due to be concluded in Paris at the end of 2015 • An EU-wide binding renewable energy target • Renewable energy target of 27% • Energy Efficiency • Details in the review of the Energy Efficiency Directive due to be concluded later in 2014. • Competitive, affordable & secure energy – alignment accross Members States
Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Directive • AFID = Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Directive Important new Directive including e-mobility infrastructure & standardization requirements in Europe
STTP – Roadmap further developed • Moved from a technology roadmap towards a deployment roadmap of BEV, PHEV, FCEV. • Focussed on 3 scenario’s: • Introducing electrified transport of people and goods in cities – 2015 • Advancing electric mobility to be affordable for everybody – 2020 • Integrated electro-mobility with extended performance and range – 2025 • Discussion points: • What to recommend other than electricity ? • Charging infrastructure: promote normal or fast charging, what about smart chargers, potential impact on the battery
European Green Vehicle Initiative • A Common Strategic Framework program from the EU for the period 2014-2020 has been created: Horizon 2020 (H2020). • Public Private Partnership - PPP : ‘European Green Vehicles Initiative’ (EGVI) to further develop the roadmaps to deploy electro-mobility in Europe. • BMS – battery management system • Electric & electronic architecture • Integration of e-cars into the charging and grid system
Resource Efficiency-Critical Raw Materials ‘Critical’ in the meaning of a high supply risk (political stability – concentration of supply) combined with a high economic relevance. 20 CRM identified: antimony, beryllium, cobalt, fluorspar, gallium, germanium, indium, magnesium, natural graphite, niobium, platinum group metals, light & heavy rare earths, tungsten ,borates, chromium, coking coal, magnesite, phosphate rock, silicon metal. A significant activity is ongoing around the topics of Resource Efficiency, Sustainability, and Critical Raw Materials.
1. Batteries and the Europeanpolicy on Sustainability • New Commission project about update and new objectives in the EuropeanWasteDirectives: • Circulareconomy package • Recharge wasinvolved and supported the document. • not proposed to vote by the new Commission. • But • assessment of the Battery directive still at the agenda for 2016. Depending on the result, revision may be proposed in 2016-2017 ( see specific presentation). • Commission announced a new “ more ambitious proposal” in 2016?
2. Placing on the Market -1 • MARKET DATA for Advanced Rechargeable Batteries: technology trend • Detailed Avicennedata available (see specific presentation). • MARKET DATA for Advanced Rechargeable Batteries: portable growth slowing at 2% CAGR, Automotive at 13% CAGR: (see PPT 05)
2. Placing on the Market -2 • 2. REACH: • Follow-up of substances used in Batteries, possibly under REACH authorisation process • Ni Compounds • Co compounds • NMP • http://echa.europa.eu/web/guest/restrictions-under-consideration • New position of the industry for REACH regulation: • Support application of the regulation for workers protections based on OEL, when applicable, instead of REACH authorisation process.
2. Placing on the Market -3 • 3. BATTERIES DIRECTIVE. • 2016 is the end of the exemption for POM Ni-Cd batteries for power tools. • 4. ECODESIGN (UPS,...) • Release of the final proposal for design of UPS. New list 2015 proposal, including cell phones, and possibly tranversal batteries study • RECHARGE proposal with CDI for the exemption of batteries substances in laptop computers. • 5. Product Environmental Footprint, ECOLABEL • Recharge pilot project of PEF for batteries is on-going.
3. End of life -1 • BATTERIES DIRECTIVE. • Eurostat consolidating data from Member states since June 30th: report not yet available? • Several organisations are promoting positions papers for the revision of the definitions of Portable/industrial batteries. • RECHARGE working group exploring possible positions. • Portable/ Industrial definition • Collection targets • Recycling efficiency • Labelling (specific presentation) • WASTE FRAMEWORK DIRECTIVE • List of Waste update at the Commission agenda, including batteries.
3. End of life -2 • 3. WEEE Directive • CENELEC standard for recycling published in 2014: batteries can be removed “mechanically, chemically or metallurgically”: it leaves the possibility to the WEEE recyclers to recycle batteries, as long as they can calculate and report a recycling efficiency. • 4. ELV Directive • Follow up of Eurobat work about renewal of the exemption, annex 2 in ELV directive • 5. Certification of EoL actors • Project proposal with EBRA, EUROMETAUX and WEEEForum: the project will not be funded ( lack of ressources from H2020). • 5. Sorting of the Li-ion batteries in the lead-acid waste streams • Working group with EUROBAT • IEC proposal to launch a new labelling standard under discussion.
4. Transport and safety • 1. TRANSPORT OF DANGEROUS GOODS • Manyproposalsvoted at the DecemberUNSCTDG Session in Geneva. • Mandate for a new Working group about UN safety testing of large Li batteries and definitions (UN 38.3 revision). • 100 Wh limitincrease for exemption according SP188 wasrefused, new a proposalunder construction, based on tests results. • UN transport e-book: edition 2 (2014) released for Lithium batteries. • Eurobat has accepted to contribute (2/3) for a second book on transport of other batteries ( Pb, Ni-MH, Na-S)
4. Transport and safety 2 • 2. SAFETY • Ban of the Li-metal from the cargo of passenger aircrafts has been obtained by ICAO. • Update of the emergency response guidances (on-line on our website), following the July 1rst workshop: Safety of Li batteries in storage • ISO/CTIF: standardisation work started in the ISO/TC22, about a rescue sheets and the emergency Follow up of the ISO 17840. • part 1: "rescue information" working group7 under ISO/TC22/SC/12 has finished is work. Voted recently, should be publish soon. • part 2 rescue sheets for bused and coaches • Part 3: training manuals • part 4: Drive line identification signs • Discussion about the communication supports on going.
