RE:Keep the ideas flowing
RE:Keep the ideas flowing Recent Pembina Institute report ---Pacific NW area of BC could accommodate an EV battery recycling project. Need to smelt out the lithium, cobalt, etc and then can reuse for electrical grid storage applications or solar storage technology.
I assume would require lots of electricity for a plant.
Skuce co-authored a recent report for the Pembina Institute that calls on B.C. to work with the federal government and learn from other jurisdictions like California, which is already well on its way to supporting battery recycling.
The report notes that B.C. is poised to reap the economic rewards from jumping on the recycling bandwagon.
“As an early leader in [electric vehicle] adoption, B.C. will see growing demand for end-of-life recycling, which offers the province the opportunity to also emerge as an early regional leader in battery recycling in the Pacific Northwest, and capture the associated economic benefits.”
