Safe processing of end-of-life batteries from electric vehicles (EVs) and domestic lithium-ion batteries (LIBs)
As a project funded under the topic HORIZON-CL5-2024-D2-01-01 – Advanced sustainable and safe pre-processing technologies for EoL battery recycling, co-programmed by the European Partnership on Batteries (Batt4EU), RESTORE is set to tackle the most pressing issues faced by recycling companies. It aims to enhance the efficiency, safety, speed, environmental footprint, and cost of pre-processing operations, […]
Bilateral clustering activities: RHINOCEROS and RESTORE projects
The last consortium meeting of the RHINOCEROS project included a session dedicated to ongoing clustering activities, which was online attended by the RESTORE project coordinator, Christophe Aucher, Area Manager Energy Storage at LEITAT. The objective of this initiative is to introduce the two EU-funded projects, both focusing on advancing battery material treatment and recycling technologies. […]
Sorting and discharging: first updates
By May 2026, partners in charge of the sorting and discharging tests received diverse electric vehicle (EV) and domestic battery samples (covering around 3 cell formats and 8 chemistries). In parallel, shipments are on their way to feed dismantling tests and black mass production. Knowing what type of battery is entering the processing line is essential for safety, […]
