From safer battery transport to digital traceability, REBELION partner ERION showcased some of the project’s key innovations at the Battery Recycling Conference 2026 in Frankfurt, highlighting solutions that support a more circular, transparent and sustainable battery value chain.
Held on 17-18 June, the conference brought together industry leaders, technical experts and policymakers to discuss the future of battery recycling, reuse and material recovery in response to the growing demand for electric mobility, energy storage and sustainable manufacturing.
Representing the REBELION consortium, ERION presented several innovations aimed at improving safety and transparency throughout the battery lifecycle.
Among them, particular attention was given to the project’s safe container, designed to enhance the storage and transport of lithium batteries. The solution combines passive and active safety systems capable of detecting and mitigating thermal runaway events, helping to reduce risks for operators, infrastructure and the environment.
ERION also highlighted the role of the Digital Battery Passport, a key enabler for battery circularity. By providing reliable information on battery origin, composition and performance, the Digital Battery Passport will improve traceability throughout the battery lifecycle and support compliance with the evolving European regulatory framework.
By addressing both safety and transparency, REBELION is contributing to the development of a more resilient and circular battery ecosystem, supporting Europe’s transition towards sustainable energy storage solutions.
