REBELION contributes to Circular Battery Cluster’s position paper
REBELION joins BatteReverse, REINFORCE and RECIRCULATE in a new position paper setting out recommendations to close regulatory and standardisation gaps for a circular battery value chain in Europe.
REBELION Releases New Video on AI-Powered Battery Disassembly
No two batteries are the same, and that makes automated disassembly hard. Watch our new video interview to see how REBELION is using AI-powered robots to solve this challenge.
Too much energy, too little certainty: the second-life batteries paradox
Long after they stop powering cars, lithium-ion batteries still have years of useful life ahead of them. From designer lamps to solar-powered rickshaws, innovative second-life applications are proving their enormous potential. But before repurposing can become the norm, Europe must solve a far less glamorous challenge: deciding who is responsible when something goes wrong.
