"Repurposing Batteries for Stationary Applications: A Clean Energy Solution with Lower Capex and High Efficiency"

The company repurposes batteries for stationary applications, advocating for energy independence through clean energy and efficient battery storage. They offer commercial industrial storage systems using Second Life batteries, which are more cost-effective and can be provided as a service due to their technology. Initially skeptical about the feasibility of Second Life batteries, advancements in technology now make it possible, extending battery life with warranties. To comply with new battery safety regulations (Article 12), they engineered new outdoor containers and cabinets ready by Q4 this year. Partnering with encore DB, they focus on power conversion systems that reduce energy losses by 70%, achieving high efficiency rates confirmed in projects like those with Total Energies. Their design allows replacing single underperforming modules without compromising overall capacity. They support stringent new EU regulations favoring quality standards while preventing low-quality market entries despite administrative challenges. Uniform legal frameworks across the EU simplify operations but also present rapid implementation difficulties.

The transition to a clean and CO2-neutral energy supply requires the use of components that meet these requirements. The CO2 footprint and environmental impact of battery production must be reduced to acceptable levels. With the new EU Battery Regulation, a comprehensive set of requirements has recently been published, that will have a major impact on the battery industry. What are the implications of the new EU Battery Regulation? By when must each requirement be implemented? What are the critical points of this regulation?
