Honda Announces Battery Recycling Plan to recycle power lithium batteries for grid and home energy storage equipment

At present, one of the challenges faced by electric cars and hybrid vehicles is the life and processing of batteries. If the electric car is indeed the next wave of car trends, the car company must formulate relevant programs, safe and continuously utilizing battery materials. According to foreign media reports, the Volkswagen and Nissan have developed detailed recycling and reused programs, Honda Europe has recently announced an environmental plan.

Recently, Honda issued an electric vehicle and battery pack recycling plan called SecondLife (a second life), will cooperate with SNAM (a metal recycling company), recovering pure electric vehicles and battery packs in hybrid models, reuse Grid or household energy storage device. In fact, Honda has always been committed to recycling the work of the power battery. In addition to extracting valuable elements such as cobalt, nickel and copper from the power battery group, the secondary use of the power battery is also a recycling.

For example, use it for home energy storage equipment, so that the electric energy generated by power supply companies such as national grids can be used more effectively. Founded in 2013, the company has evaluated the traceability of scrap batteries and ensures proper handling. Next, SNAM will evaluate the reuse value of used batteries.

Specifically, SNAM will recover lithium ions and nickel-hydrogen batteries from Honda dealers and authorized processing plants from 22 countries and regions, and then test it, determine whether they can be disassembled and re-being for family and industrial applications. Provide energy storage. If not, there is a second solution - wet metallurgy.

This is a chemical purification method that uses the reaction in a water-based medium, separating and extracting cobalt and lithium in used batteries. Honda indicates that cobalt and lithium can be used to make new batteries, color pigments or additives used as mortar; copper, metals and plastics from the battery can also be recovered. In fact, Honda has launched a cooperation with SNAM since 2013 to study the potential use of second-hand electric vehicle battery packs.

SNAM said that secondary storage can respond to the peak of the national grid (too much) and low valleys (low power generation), and installed the secondary use of the battery may have a cheaper electricity price. Snam pointed out that the recycling program only applies only to large traction batteries of electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles, and does not apply to traditional gasoline or diesel powered vehicles. 12 volt cells.

Recycling of waste batteries will be completed within 15 working days to avoid any risk of battery stack storage. As Honda launched the new E-series electric knuckle, the battery recovery plan is more important. Second-hand battery packs are a supplement such as wind energy and solar energy.

Although the power generation of fossil fuel is usually kept constant, wind energy and solar energy will depend on the weather, and there will be higher peaks (too much power generation) and lower valleys (low power generation). When the wind is huge, the electric power generated by the wind may exceed the demand for the grid; when the weather conditions change the wind, the electric power generated by the windmill is reduced. At this point, the second life battery pack can store electricity, and re-supply the Internet.

Tomgardner, senior vice president of Honda Europe, said: "With consumers, the demand for Honda hybrid vehicles and electric vehicles grow continuously, with the most environmentally friendly way Managing battery packs is also getting higher and higher. Today's market development allows us to rejuvenate these battery packs for the second life cycle, or by using the recent improved recycling technology to recover useful raw materials, follow-up to raw materials production new battery pack. "In fact, Honda is not the only car brand that has been carried out in electric vehicle battery pack.

The public has proposed a mobile car charging station solution, which is the electric vehicle of the parking lot in the parking lot with a 360KWH old battery pack. Charge. At the same time, Audi also launched the recycling plan for the electric vehicle battery, attempted to turn on the second life of the battery, and used the recycled battery to inspect the work vehicle in their own plants.

Although most people have accepted the fact that electric vehicles energy saving and environmentally friendly, the treatment of waste vehicles and the treasses of the waste battery have been contaminated by human disease. This initiative will fundamentally solve this dispute. There is a car CLUB, Gaiu Auto Network, car home.
