Second-life batteries, reused after their service in electric vehicles, offer a sustainable and cost-effective solution for energy storage. This article explores their advantages, applications, and the key role they play in the transition toward a cleaner energy system.

In the coming years, millions of electric vehicle batteries will reach the end of their life. This phenomenon poses a major management challenge but also presents an opportunity for new value chains in recycling, reuse, and the circular economy.

The Battery Passport is a global initiative aimed at giving each battery a digital identifier containing information about its origin, materials, and lifecycle. Its implementation will be key for transparency, sustainability, and regulatory compliance across the battery value chain.
