FCC Coveragean FCC Environmental Services subsidiary, And iberdrolathrough The Perseo Venture Builder program will work with Glencore to provide industrial-scale lithium-ion battery recycling solutions in the Iberian Peninsula. Through the development of a special facility, the three companies were informed by a statement.
putting the pieces together It will combine its capabilities to develop comprehensive management solutions for incoming lithium batteries.both from manufacturing waste and end-of-life batteries.
in cooperation with Iberian Energy Storage Research Center (CIIAE), The parties carried out an operation. in-depth analysis of the potential battery recycling market work in the Iberian Peninsula and to determine technology partners suitable for performing installation whose location has not yet been determined.
The facility will be operated by FCC Ámbito. Pre-separation of lithium-ion batteries for their subsequent refining.
To this end, this alliance will seek to create the strategic agreements necessary for the effective recovery of lithium batteries and positive impact of the initiative on other actors along the entire value chain. It will also contribute to the necessary research and development studies for the effective circularity of these materials.
exponential adoption electric vehicles will lead to a rapid increase in battery recalls In 2035, it will be around 35,000 metric tons per year in Spain—and the rejection of new battery production.
In this context, this cooperation aims to develop an industrial facility on the peninsula that is prepared when such recycling capacities are required. Like this, The FCC and Iberdrola are expanding their collaboration on the recycling of wind turbine blades, where they founded EnergyLoop.
This new effort The circular economy of FCC Ambito and IberdrolaUnderstanding this production and consumption model as the “key lever” for the transition to energy, stands out in the statement.
“We are delighted to be part of this alliance with Iberdrola, the world leader in renewable energy, and FCC Servicios Medio Ambiente, leader in waste management services in Spain and Portugal. “It’s a testament to each company’s individual strength to bring circularity to the lithium-ion battery ecosystem in .
María Jesús Kaifer, Technical Director and Head of Circular Economy at FCC Ámbito, said, “With this collaboration, our company’s pursuing strategic growth goalsIt is one of the subjects that he works on, such as the development of recycling solutions for materials related to the energy transition.
Álvaro Portellano, president of Perseo Venture Builder at Iberdrola, said the company sees this new collaboration as “a valuable opportunity to contribute to Iberdrola.” circularity of the elements of the energy transition We are promoting this as well as extending the scope of our successful alliance with the FCC, which currently addresses the recycling of wind turbine blades.”
“Sustainable business models are the core of Iberdrola’s strategyIt is an achievement of more than two decades of leadership in the renewable industry worldwide and promoting the transition to a decarbonised economy.”
