Three and a half years of REBELION, in Lyon: meet us at Batteries Event 2026
For three and a half years, the REBELION partners have worked together to give used lithium-ion batteries a second life, and to make recycling them safer and faster when that life is over. From 16 to 18 November 2026, we are bringing all of that work to Lyon. At Batteries Event 2026 you can see […]

The EU Battery Passport stops at the pack: REBELION makes the case for going further
A new policy brief shows what is lost when batteries are dismantled into modules and cells, and sets out three actions for the EU ahead of February 2027. From February 2027, electric vehicle, light means of transport and industrial batteries placed on the EU market will need a digital Battery Passport. But the passport follows […]
REBELION joins the Circular Battery Cluster at Battery Innovation Days 2026
On 11 and 12 November 2026, REBELION partners will be in Stockholm for Battery Innovation Days 2026, one of Europe’s main meeting points for battery research and innovation. At the Circular Battery Cluster booth, visitors can explore how Horizon Europe projects are tackling the end of a battery’s first life, from repurposing to recycling and […]
Lucy: a table lamp powered by a second-life e-scooter battery
When a battery can no longer meet the demands of electric mobility, it often still holds plenty of usable energy. Lucy shows what that energy can do next. Batteries from light electric vehicles such as e-bikes and e-scooters are often replaced while they still retain around 80% of their original capacity. That is no longer […]
Five REBELION solutions for second-life batteries: from dismantling to digital passport
REBELION has released five technology briefs, each presenting one solution developed within the project. Read in sequence, they follow a battery from dismantling to traceability. Lithium-ion batteries from electric mobility are reaching end-of-life in growing numbers. Many still hold enough capacity for a second use, and all contain critical raw materials worth recovering. Getting there […]

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.
REBELION at NetZero Milan 2026
The REBELION Consortium is pleased to announce its participation in NetZero Milan 2026, taking place from 20–22 October 2026 at Allianz MiCo, Milan (Italy). As one of Europe’s leading events dedicated to the net-zero transition, NetZero Milan brings together industry leaders, research organisations, public authorities, innovators and investors to accelerate the deployment of sustainable technologies. […]
REBELION innovations showcased at Battery Recycling Conference 2026
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 […]
REBELION General Assembly Marks Final Project Phase
On 9–10 June 2026, the REBELION consortium met in Spain for a two-day General Assembly hosted by project coordinator Universitat Politècnica de València. Taking place between Alcoy and Valencia, the meeting represented an important milestone as the project enters its final months and partners intensify their efforts towards the successful completion of all planned activities. […]
Automation, AI and scalability in EV battery disassembly
Some significant insights from the Circular Battery Cluster joint activities have now been featured in an article published by Manufacturing Tomorrow, the online trade magazine focused on Industry 4.0, advanced manufacturing and factory automation. The article builds on the exchange between researchers and experts from four Horizon Europe projects working on circular battery ecosystems and […]
