Spain has just taken the first step towards recycling lithium batteries. This move complies with the European regulations that, since last year, have made it compulsory to treat this waste and reuse it as much as possible. Endesa and Urbaser joined forces two years ago to announce the creation of a company dedicated to this task, Novolitio.
Last year, some 9,200 tonnes of batteries were collected in Spain. Almost a decade ago, this figure was barely two and a half tonnes. Society is generating more and more of this type of waste. It is expected to grow even more, above all, due to the expansion of electrified transport.
Here are the key elements of Spain's strategy to rank among the top six producers. It is estimated that by 2030, Spain's battery production capacity will range between 42 and 72 gigawatt-hours (GWh), which would place it as the sixth nation with the highest battery production capacity in the European Union (EU).
"All small-format batteries will undergo a recycling process, as it is not feasible to reuse them once they have reached the end of their useful life, while large-format batteries, depending on their condition and the analysis we will carry out at our facilities, can be reused."
