It is key to align planning across all aspects of the organization (R&D, commercial, demand, production/supply and financial) and use this to create a joint strategic and operational plan. In the case of battery production, this must be extended beyond the borders of the individual organization.
Adopting an integrated business and supply chain planning process allows battery companies along the value chain to fundamentally reduce the time it takes all players to react to changes in demand, adapting their supply and manufacturing capacities and priorities more quickly.
With limited sources of raw materials for batteries, such as lithium, cobalt, and nickel, a disruption in the supply of any of these materials can cause battery production to grind to a halt. The economic impact of raw material shortages in the battery industry can be significant.
In China, battery manufacturers, based on a provisional measure, have to create the closed loop of batteries . In European countries, by 2030, the recycled resources should account for 15 % of the annual consumption .
Additionally, battery reuse or second life repurposing at LOHUM unburdens or slows down raw material demand by prolonging the value of existing EV batteries as Energy Storage Systems. Energy transition materials, such as those in the batteries used in EVs, are not consumed like oil.
Reuse, the second-life application, is to disassemble and repurpose spent EV batteries and use them in renewable energy technologies as 80–85 % of their original energy capacity still remains . After the reuse process, spent batteries having undesired performance can be recycled to extract the valuable minerals and metals .
