elcome to this brochure setting out the world of Advanced Rechargeable Batteries and showing how these mature and developing technologies interact in our daily lives and more importantly how they will interact in the future.
Like many other industries the Advanced Rechargeable Battery Industry is committed to developing and improving the performance of our products so that they deliver a higher performance and improved value for money to our customers while embracing sustainability and eco balance throughout our value chain. This can only be achieved by implementing sound management processes from our concept designs through our manufacturing processes and on into battery collection, material recovery and reuse. I hope you find this brochure informative and enjoyable and I look forward to receiving any further information requests you may have.
As an International Association, RECHARGE is an example of how a value chain can cooperate and share knowledge and objectives. RECHARGE Members represents all stages of the life-cycle of a rechargeable battery
This report has been prepared by Michel Vanderstraeten (Consultant), Jean-Pol Wiaux (Director General of RECHARGE) and RECHARGEs secretariat.
More recently, the rechargeable industrial battery industry application field has opened to Electric Mobility while supplying the LEV, HEV, PHEV and EV Industry. The increasing need for rechargeable batteries in energy storage applications is also developing. Therefore, RECHARGE has integrated a new and complementary field of activities in the area of advanced industrial rechargeable batteries and their applications, with a special focus (but not exclusive) on Lithium Ion technologies.
(1). The terms portable and industrial refers to the definitions proposed in Article 3 of the Batteries Directive 2006/66/EC. (2). Advanced rechargeable Battery technologies include battery systems such as Ni-MH, Ni-Cd, Li-Ion, Na-NiCl2, Metalair batteries

DRAFT INTERNAL REPORT 3. ADVANCED RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES IN OUR SOCIETY 3.1 A MOBILE COMMUNICATION SOCIETY
The mobile communication world
In 1982, Finnish pioneer Nokia introduced its first mobile phone, the Mobira Senato. This phone then had the appearance of a portable radio and it weighed 10 kilograms! Introduced in 1991, the GSM system initially served a relatively privileged group of 16 million mobile users in the world. Ten years later, in 2001, the number of subscriptions passed the 1 billion mark and we are at 5 billion now! International Telecommunications Union statistics (The World in 2010 ICT Facts and Figures) indicate that the total number of SMS sent globally tripled between 2007 and 2010, from an estimated 1.8 trillion to a staggering 6.1 trillion. In other words, close to 200 000 text messages are sent every second. Without the Advanced Rechargeable Battery, there would not have been 120 mobile phones subscriptions per 100 Europeans and 1360 million mobile phones shipped in 2010 around the world. This battery-based technological revolution results in the reduced use of aerial or underground copper wiring. Connecting large parts of the world would never have been possible with the traditional wired applications
Mobile communications empower people. With a penetration level of 47% in 2011, the African mobile sector is spectacularly changing the way Africans connect to the world and do business (Ref: ITU)
Although being the best-equipped in fixed land lines, Europeans are now leading in the number of mobile subscription users.

4. EU COMMISSION POLICY
Some of the most recent policy proposals from the EU Commission are oriented towards, the development of technologies and software applications that depend on the availability of mobile power the review of environmental policies to prevent pollution and to preserve material availability the development of a safeguard access to resources and critical raw materials the 2020 renewable energy policy
Among rechargeable batteries, the LithiumIon technology has the highest energy density. This new battery system is still under intensive development both at performance and cost levels and also for new active electrode materials. Currently there is eight different Lithium-Ion systems on the market.
10
Portable rechargeable batteries include sealed units used in appliances such as mobile phones, laptop computers and cordless tools. Cells of this type include Nickel-Cadmium (NiCd), Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) and Lithium-Ion (Li-ion) cells Today, the Li-Ion battery has the highest share of the portable rechargeable battery market. In 2011, nearly 28.000 tons of Li-Ion cells will be sold in Europe, for over 700 million cells, a figure that is expected to grow up with 200 million more cells by 2015! (Ref: Recharge) Industrial rechargeable batteries are found in stand-by and transport applications from the various electric car types to the large battery systems for emergency power storage. They are used in transportation, space and other specialty applications.

The quality of the charger is a key determinant in the life time of a rechargeable battery. The users and designers of appliances are also major stakeholders towards an ever more efficient use of Advanced Rechargeable Batteries Technologies. With the Universal Charging Solution, a voluntary agreement between mobile phone manufacturers and service providers, battery chargers for mobile phones will be standardised, Micro-USB chargers will be adopted, and no-load energy consumption will be limited to 0.15 W.
The fast development for sealed rechargeable batteries is supported by the demand in portable computing, cordless tools and the first generations of hybrid and full electric vehicles. Source: Market survey prepared by Avicenne for Recharge (2010).

6. WIDE ANGLE
The world of Advanced Rechargeable Batteries
Advanced Rechargeable Batteries satisfy the fast growing demand for powering an increasing number of portable electric and electronic devices.
6.1.
Mobile Communication
The trend towards mobile communication is powerful and irreversible People want to stay connected anytime, anywhere forced to move away from energy-voracious ways of working or moving around, society will rely more on flexible and lightweight alternatives. The integration of a growing number of functions such as telephony, video and audio-visual media, payment and data processing increases the performance requirements on batteries. In responding to this challenge, the Advanced Rechargeable Battery facilitates the transition to a much greener approach to productivity and mobility. The entire chain of mobile communications relies on battery performance as Rechargeable Batteries not only power the handheld devices but are also used as back up to provide emergency power for large cellular telephone towers and data centres.
Ever more services Many leading European operators are committed to implementing Near Field Communications (NFC) technology by 2012.This will enable mobile payments, ticketing, the exchange of data, access control to cars, homes, hotels, car parks and much more.
14
The continuous technical challenges between performances and functions of equipments result in the demand for an increase of performances of Advanced Rechargeable Batteries.
The market for laptops and tablet PCs is expected to experience a stronger growth rate than the maturing mobile phone market. The increasing number of functions and longer running time puts new and challenging technical requirements on rechargeable batteries.

Solar and wind power are intermittent and unpredictable whilst the grid requires a constant and instantaneous match between the electricity generated and the consumption. With battery back-up, a wind farm can deliver a set amount of electricity at all times, making it more reliable.
Batteries are starting to be used for grid energy storage allowing load levelling and peak shaving when required. The increasing investments in wind power and solar energy make it essential to ensure that all the energy produced can be delivered to the grid when needed, instead of relying on costly coal or fuel-based back-up generation

60 R&D is the development of a 50 distribution grid where renewable power is generated 40 where it will be used.

To generate energy at a usable, consistent level, we will need to couple a dependable energy storage system i.e. advanced rechargeable batteries with renewable power sources. Rechargeable Batteries offer highly efficient energy storage and increase the market penetration of power generation from renewable sources.
THE ADDED VALUE OF ENERGY STORAGE
Example of how energy storage can help level off peak demand, both reducing the strain on utilities (base load operations) and taking into account the intermittency of wind power.
Households
- Energy Self-Sufficiency, local production = local consumption - Safe against outages - High efficiency - Sell excess of wind or photovoltaic (solar) energy when demand is high
Grid Operator
- Reduce Peak Demand (production and transmission) - Avoid disturbances (overvoltage) - Defer grid upgrades (long term) - Ancillary i.e. supportive Services
Environment
- Continuous increase of wind and sun in energy mix - Energy savings due to reduced losses on the grid - Energy savings due to reduced consumption - Substitution of costly and inefficient peak power generation

DRAFT INTERNAL REPORT 9. THE FUTURE: AIR AND SEA... 9.1. SOLAR PLANE
The batteries weigh 11,7 tons and ensure an autonomy of 3 days of navigation. On its 2011 round-the-globe expedition, the Turanor PlanetSolar is pioneering the use of sustainable energy technology on water.
The Solar Impulse Electric Aeroplane is powered by electric motors similar to those used in geo-orbiting spacecraft to maintain position. As a back-up power, 400 kg of Li-Ion batteries store energy and provide the necessary energy to the plane for day and night flights.
9.3. SYNERGIES
Combining Fuel Cells and Advanced Battery Technologies Fuel cell technology is being looked at as a radical alternative to the Internal Combustion Engine to generate electric power, which can then be stored by a battery. The fuel cell is an electrochemical device that converts the chemical energy from hydrogen into electricity through a reaction with oxygen from air into electricity, heat and water. Instead of recharging a fuel cell by using electricity, a tank of hydrogen is refilled.
The solar energy is captured by 200 m2 of solar panels while the batteries store it as electrical energy when produced and deliver it when required mainly during take-off and while maintaining the flight position.
9.2.
SOLAR BOAT
With its 31 meters in length and 15 meters width, the Turanor Planet Solar is the worlds largest solar-powered boat. The vessel is completely fuelled by renewable energy, with its 500 square meters of solar cells having a 22% efficiency rate. Fuel cell powered Honda FCX combined with Li-ion electricity storage e.g. from regenerative breaking.
A rechargeable battery is generally coupled with the Fuel Cell as a complementary energy storage device.
23
Advanced Rechargeable Battery technologies are being constantly improved to respond to the increasing performance demands of new devices whilst using lower levels of resources.
On 27 October 2010, IBM, Infineon, Global Foundries, the Jlich Research center as well as the universities of Bologna, Dortmund, Lausanne, Pisa and Udine unveiled a research project, called Steeper, which aims to decrease the energy needs of electronic devices such as TV sets or supercomputers by 10 times when active, and to virtually eliminate power consumption when in standby mode. The ultimate objective would be to develop a PC with no energy consumption in stand-by mode...

Enormous future potential is expected to use silicium, which is able to absorb up to ten times more charging compared to other anode materials used until now.

The battery industry target of the next 10 years is to bring the price tag under 100 per kWh. Increasing production volumes, together with improvements in reliability, safety and recyclability will be the major challenges faced by the battery industry.
Ambitious cities: The 'Amsterdam Electric' scheme, launched in March 2009, set the goal to have 200,000 battery-driven vehicles in Amsterdam in 2040. Many other EU-cities such as London and Barcelona are introducing E-mobility in their transport policy.
Transformation into electricity of the vehicles energy losses. Modern HEVs make use of regenerative braking, which converts the vehicle's kinetic energy into battery-replenishing electric energy, rather than wasting it as heat energy like conventional brakes do. Many HEVs reduce idle emissions by shutting down the engine at idle and restarting it when needed: start-stop system.

10.3. LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT: A DECISION TOOL Advanced Rechargeable Batteries are a Sustainable Technology
Advanced Rechargeable Batteries aim at providing solutions for an economy that is in equilibrium with basic ecological support systems, preserving their carrying capacity whilst addressing the many social challenges facing humanity. Life-Cycle Assessment is the preferred tool for the decision maker by evaluating and interpreting the potential environmental impacts associated with the identified inputs and releases. Advanced Rechargeable Batteries are economically and environmentally viable compared to other battery types! A Bio Intelligence Study performed for the Company UNIROSS has calculated that for 1 kWh of energy produced, rechargeable batteries have compared to disposable batteries: 23 times less potential impact non-renewable natural resources 28 times less potential impact global warming 30 times less potential impact on pollution (ozone) 9 times less potential impact on acidification 12 times less potential impact water pollution on on air air on
An Australian LCA study reinforces what is probably the intuitive opinion of most experts that the environmental benefits of using rechargeable batteries rather than disposable batteries for consumer electronics are very significant. More specifically, the benefits apply in all of the categories of impact which were analyzed even in the relatively pessimistic case of only fifty cycles of discharge/charge for the re-chargeable batteries and even if the various battery types are used under less than ideal conditions such as storing re-chargeable batteries for a considerable time after charging. The production of the batteries is the dominant source of damage from re-chargeable batteries so efforts to obtain maximum benefits in the form of the maximum number of discharge and charge cycles should be encouraged

Advanced Rechargeable Batteries are a Sustainable Technology in E-Car development. The ecobalance of Li-ion batteries for electric cars appears greener than expected. In 2010, EMPA, the Swiss federal Research Institute, looked at the environmental performance of the manufacture, operation and disposal of the rechargeable batteries. EMPA has, for the first time, calculated the ecological footprint of the most commonly used type, the lithiumion battery. The result is that a conventional car with a petrol engine must consume less than 4 liters of fuel per 100km in order to be as environmentally friendly as modern electric

The EMPA investigation shows that if the power used to charge the battery is not derived from purely hydroelectric sources, then it is primarily the operation of the electric car, which has an environmental impact, exactly as is the case with conventionally fuelled automobiles. The size of the environmental footprint depends on which sources of power are used to "fuel" the e-mobile. The Li-ion battery itself has, in contrast, a limited effect on the LCA of the electric vehicle. This is contrary to initial expectations that the manufacture of the batteries could offset the advantages of the electric drive. (Ref: EMPA)

The debate on access to rare earth and other potentially critical materials such as cobalt and lithium has brought RECHARGE to look at the likely trends in battery materials uses between 2010 and 2020 Thanks to the high number of cycles they achieve, Rechargeable Batteries offer an efficient application of raw materials as they are used many times in a piece of equipment. Life Cycle Analysis confirms the important role of the number of cycles achieved per battery unit in a given application. When they reach their end of life, rechargeable batteries can be recycled efficiently and their materials content recovered for reuse.
The growth of demand for lithium in the hypothesis of a significant growth of the number of electric vehicles sold in Europe and worldwide raises concerns. Current world production of this metal is around 25.000 tons. The battery application represents 25 % by w. of total uses. Reserves are abundant but it is of strategic importance that Collection of waste batteries is further developed. Recycling technologies are optimized.

DRAFT INTERNAL REPORT 12. THE WAY FORWARD WITH RAW MATERIALS: COLLECTION and RECYCLING
RECHARGE Membership includes companies specialized in the recycling of materials recovered from waste batteries. They are committed to operate under the most strict environmental and human health protection conditions. These recyclers process an increasing quantity of waste Rechargeable Batteries allowing the reuse of metals such as nickel, cobalt, iron, cadmium or lithium... in the economy. In a report dated 2003, the EU Commission already emphasized the role of recycling as production technology that requires less energy to produce raw materials than the primary metal production industry. A critical parameter is the collection of these batteries at end of life. They are linked with the equipment with which they are sold. An important urban mining effect (hoarding) is at the origin of reduced yearly collection rates of these batteries. It is anticipated that the implementation of the Batteries Directive 2006/66/EC and of the WEEE Directive 2002/96/EC will lead to an efficient capture of the flow of waste batteries generated every year.

A universal labelling of rechargeable batteries according to their technology would assist greatly collectors and recyclers in achieving optimum recycling efficiency for the recovery and re-use of raw materials.

12.1.
The complex materials composition of finished products using Rechargeable Batteries, imposes further development of advanced recycling technologies that allow the recovery of secondary raw materials which can then be re-introduced in the economy. European battery recyclers have been processing waste batteries for more than 20 years. They offer recycling technologies able to process all types of advanced rechargeable batteries. Their objective is the production of secondary raw materials of the quality required by commercial operators. An Extended Impact Assessment published by the EU Commission in 2003 (2003 1343, pp 13) indicates that the production of secondary metals requires significantly less energy than the production of primary metals.
31
A critical parameter is the collection of spent Rechargeable Batteries at end of life. They are linked with the equipment with which they are sold. An important urban mining effect (hoarding) is at the origin of a low yearly return rate of these batteries. Current estimations predict that after ten years of market development in the Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE) powered by Rechargeable Batteries, there are close to 100000 tonnes of Portable Rechargeable Batteries available for collection for the EU recycling industry. This valuable secondary raw material is hoarded in our homes and garages. The hoarding rate is estimated at an astonishing 66%. These batteries need collecting and recycling as we want their raw material content being returned to the production of new batteries.
RECHARGE proposes to improve access to raw materials from the recycling of waste batteries through the following list of actions:
1. IMPROVE KNOWLEDGE AND MANAGEMENT OF
HOARDED EQUIPMENT WITH INCORPORATED BATTERIES ( HOME STORAGE
URBAN MINING)
2. M OTIVATE END-USERS TO ACCELERATE THE RETURN OF HOARDED ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT 3. BETTER CONTROL THE EXPORT OF WEEE EFFICIENT SEPARATION 4. DEVELOP TECHNOLOGIES/PRACTICES OF WASTE BATETRIES FROM WEEE. 5. CONTROL RETURN CHANNELS AND END OF LIFE MANAGEMENT OF WASTE BATTERIES USED FOR EMOBILITY
Figure: For many years, RECHARGE and EBRA have consolidated information on the collection of Advanced Rechargeable Batteries in EU 27 MS.

13. CONCLUSIONS
The contribution Advanced Rechargeable Batteries will make to our society depends on an integrated and cooperative consideration of five development pillars: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. R&D in the battery energy efficiency and embarked energy, Eco-design of appliances incorporating batteries (removability) Efficient use of the batterys energy content Efficient collection of waste batteries at end of life Efficient recovery of raw materials Implementation of Regulatory Safety measures
