EV battery passports are an innovative digital tracking system being developed to enhance the traceability and sustainability of electric vehicle batteries in Europe. The European Battery Passport is a foundational initiative, which establishes much-needed standards and traceability for used EV batteries across their lifecycles. However, product passports are just one important step in closing the loop on valuable materials and important emergent industrial supply chains. As Stephan Fester, Sebastian A. Krieger and I will discuss at HANNOVER MESSE, another important step will be establishing a circular marketplace for used EV batteries. A circular online marketplace is a digital platform that enables the exchange, sharing, and recovery of products, materials, and assets in alignment with circular economy principles.  Circular marketplaces offer benefits such as lower transaction costs, new revenue opportunities, and more effective resource allocation. Moreover, they have the potential to harness powerful network effects, where the value of the platform increases as more participants join, leading to significant scale and impact. As Europe ramps up EV utilization, it is time to consider systems that will efficiently and effectively establish second life opportunities for EV batteries and channel those that are spent to recycling. An EV battery marketplace serving all of Europe can transform supply chains and unlock new value. To learn more about the benefits of a circular marketplace for EV batteries serving all of Europe join us on Monday at 2:20pm Forum ENERGY 4.0, Hannover Messe 2024: https://lnkd.in/gs4sERyt #EVbatteries #productpassport #circulareconomy #circularplatforms #innovation #HM24 #marketplaces #supplychains McFadyen Digital Bosch Rexroth SAP
