KEY INITIATIVES (examples)
New materials and solutions for storage
For example, thermal storage
that use materials (rocks, pipes
and casings) that are to be
considered environmentally
sustainable and not critical.

New Life Cycle
> Current recyclability ~50% (steel,
copper fully recycled)
> Estimated recyclability at 2025
~ 70%
(improvement in the recycling of
cells material)
Second life solutions for EV
Batteries to be reused as
storage systems (Melilla,
Pioneer) and Battery recycling
plant in Spain (8.000 tons/year)
to recover precious materials as
lithium etc.
