Expert talk: Energising Change: Can Green Policies Push the Battery Sector Forward?

Date and time:
November 25^th, 2024, from 1 pm – 2 pm CET

Description:

What role will government policies and regulations play in shaping the battery industry’s future? This issue is of great concern to both industry and political institutions.

Join us on the 25th of November for an expert discussion dedicated to these challenges and opportunities. Battery experts Guiomar Hernández from Uppsala University and Lisset Urrutia from SVOLT Energy Technology Europe will delve into how organizations can prepare for potential disruptions while adhering to green policies. They will explore whether policies around the use of recycled material or the potential banning of PFAS are beneficial for maintaining a clean industry. Additionally, they will question the strategy of reducing cobalt in battery cells, discussing whether this progression aids in making batteries more sustainable or merely shifts the problem to different materials.
