Moreover, the Commission’s Raw Materials Information System, which records a vast array of data and makes it publicly available in a structured form, still mainly reflects data up to 2016, as regards materials which are relevant to the battery value chain. As regards other materials, more up-to-date information is available.
With rising environmental, social, and economic challenges related to batteries in the EU, the European Commission (EC) proposed an updated law for batteries to improve the shortcomings of the 2006 Directive.
On the side of the industry, there has already been substantial progress in many areas. In less than a year, the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) InnoEnergy has managed to mobilise and steer a network of around 260 innovation and industrial actors, coming from all segments of the batteries value chain.
To help the EU become a global leader in sustainable battery production and use, in 2018 the Commission published a strategic action plan on batteries. It covers the different stages of the value chain, identifies a number of strategic goals and proposes a range of tools to achieve them.
The Commission Report on the Evaluation of the EU Batteries Directive should also be published before the end of the year. It will address i.a. the collection of waste batteries, the recycling levels achieved within the EU or the labelling system. The results of the study in support of the Evaluation will be made available by the end of October.
Multiple funding streams support new battery research and manufacturing projects. During the 2014-2020 period, the EU budget provided at least €1.7 billion in grants and loan guarantees, which add to state aid of up to €6 billion between 2019 and 2021.
