SUMMARY:Scientific and Technology Conference on Circular Economy of Batteries: Production and Recycling
DESCRIPTION:The rapid progresses in the battery technologies directly affects our daily life not only with various application\, but also with energy and carbon foot-print of their production and manufacturing from mining to end-of-life product management. CEB2018 conference opens all related topics\, electrode materials\, electrolyte\, design and development\, applications and recycling\, for discussion. We aim to bring scientists\, researchers\, experts\, manufactures\, users and recyclers together from the different fields under the same roof to share their knowledge\, their expectations\, technical and economical limitations of their work\, and their dreams to take the initiative for a circular economy of batteries. \nScientific and Technology Conference on Circular Economy of Batteries: Production and Recycling (CEB2018) conference topics:\n\nRaw materials. Raw material supply is the first and the critical step to create a sustainable battery technology. Researchers and battery producers require different kind of metals\, metal oxides\, other inorganic substance and organic materials for the manufacturing.\nRecycling. The need of the sustainable development has been a substantial motivation to recover valuable materials from spent batteries. The efforts are made to increase the material recovery rate by the development of efficient recycling technologies.\nElectrolytes. Since the first lithium-ion batteries (LiB)\, many efforts have been made on the development of new electrodes with high capacity\, high energy density and good cycling ability at the expense of the search of new electrolytes for lithium-ion batteries.\nElectrode materials. The quest for new electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries (LiB) with high energy density and low cost has seen major advances in intercalation compounds like carbonaceous electrodes or alloying materials for negative electrodes and layered metal oxides\, spinels\, polyanion materials\, and composite oxides for positive electrodes.\nDesign development. Lithium-ion batteries can be optimized by playing on the chemistry (electrode materials\, electrolyte\, separator) or by modifying the battery design whatever the technology (Lithium-ion battery\, metal-air batteries\, Li-S or all solid-state batteries\, etc.).\nApplications. There are many types of battery technologies depending on their applications. These batteries can be used for portable applications\, electric mobility\, stationary applications or smart grids.\nCollection & Regulations. Battery waste is a growing problem all around the world. Although several process were developed for the recycling of the batteries\, the amount of the collected batteries is not enough to support the recycling processes which are dedicated for only battery recycling.\n\nFind more information about the conference and register here.

SUMMARY:EIT RawMaterials at the European Mineral Resources Conference - EUMICON 2018
DESCRIPTION:Automated cars\, SMART technology\, Internet of Things – the technological revolution will bring about a whole new range of products and innovative services in the coming decades. These developments will also have a significant impact on the added value of the extractive industry and its downstream branches. That is why the European raw materials initiative\, EUMICON\, in partnership with the Federal Ministry of Sustainability and Tourism of the Republic of Austria\, is organizing an international raw materials conference in Vienna in autumn 2018\, within the scope of the Austrian EU Council Presidency. \nThe political conditions will also act as a significant driver – or indeed a brakeman. Access to raw materials\, circular economy\, or robust and fair trade with other regions of the world – all of these factors will also shape the future of the European extractive industry and its value added. We would like to help shape this future a little. \n\n\n\n\nStakeholder Dialogue\nAgainst the backdrop of rapid and „disruptive” technological change\, transforming value-creation chains and challenges in securing know-how\, European and cross-industry solidarity is needed. \nIn preparation for the EUMICON Conference in the framework of the EU Council Presidency\, a stakeholder initiative will\, therefore\, be started that attempts to define concrete answers and innovative solutions to strengthen resource-based value-creation chains „Made in Europe”: \n\nWhich technologies and processes will shape our future?\nHow do we secure the know-how for these future technologies?\nWhat role will mineral resources and intelligent materials play?\nWhat political\, economic and scientific conditions do we need to create?\n\nAs part of four high-level workshops in Brussels\, Stuttgart\, Sofia and Vienna\, relevant stakeholders from politics\, science\, the industry and civil society are invited to discuss innovative solutions using the design thinking method. \n\n\n\n\n\nTopics\n\nPolitics & Resources\nHuman & Technology\nMaterials & Industry\nSmart Future & Sustainability\n\nEIT RawMaterials Community at the EUMICON 2018\nMetals\, minerals and materials are critically important for implementing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and for achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. To achieve sustainable raw materials supply\, mining must be strengthened in Europe\, and increased supply from secondary sources must be secured through innovations in recycling. Sustainable supply and consumption of raw materials are important for the move towards a Circular Economy. From a raw materials value chain perspective\, three objectives are key in a circular economy: bringing materials into the loop in a sustainable way\, keeping materials in the loop for as long as possible\, and minimizing waste. \nDr Karen Hanghøj\, CEO at EIT RawMaterials\, and Peter Moser\, Montanuniversitaet Leoben\, EIT RawMaterials Steering Committee Chair Innovation Hub (CLC) East\, will give presentations at the EUMICON 2018 to strengthen the view towards the importance of Raw Materials for the future of Europe. \nThe conference is a part of the Austrian Presidency during which the future R&D priorities for the period 2020-2030 will be decided. EIT RawMaterials partners are invited to join the EUMICON 2018 to ensure a high presence of the Innovation Community. \nRegister here.
