European Battery Alliance
The European Battery Alliance (EBA) is Europe's plan to create its own competitive and sustainable battery cell manufacturing value chain. Its purpose is to ensure that Europe benefits from the technological evolution in the Electric Vehicle Market and beyond. The action plan includes cleaner and more sustainable vehicles as well as safer traffic operations across Europe. Stakeholders 120 industrial innovation stakeholders are currently active under the EBA alliance in partnership with participant EU states and the European Investment Bank. This entails growth and investment potential of the battery sector across Europe and beyond. Operations The action plan adopted focuses on innovating and developing a sustainable and competitive battery 'ecosystem' within Europe. The primary objective is to create a manufacturing value chain with sustainable battery cells at its core in order to avoid a technological dependence from 3rd parties. According to analysts, by 2025, Europe could ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Energy System
An energy system is a system primarily designed to supply #Energy-services, energy-services to end user, end-users. The intent behind energy systems is to minimise energy losses to a negligible level, as well as to ensure the efficient use of energy. The IPCC Fifth Assessment Report defines an energy system as "all components related to the production, conversion, delivery, and use of energy". The first two definitions allow for demand-side measures, including Daylighting (architecture), daylighting, retrofitted building insulation, and passive solar building design, as well as socio-economic factors, such as aspects of energy demand management and remote work, while the third does not. Neither does the third account for the Informal sector, informal economy in traditional biomass that is significant in many Developing country, developing countries. The analysis of energy systems thus spans the disciplines of engineering and economics. Merging ideas from both areas to form a ...

Battery Directive
The ''Directive 2006/66/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 September 2006 on batteries and accumulators and waste batteries and accumulators and repealing Directive 91/157/EEC'', commonly known as the Battery Directive, regulates the manufacture and disposal of batteries in the European Union with the aim of "improving the environmental performance of batteries and accumulators". Batteries commonly contain hazardous elements such as mercury, cadmium, and lead, which when incinerated or landfilled, present a risk to the environment and human health. Directive 91/157/EEC was adopted on 18 March 1991 to reduce these hazards by harmonising EU member states' laws on the disposal and recycling of batteries containing dangerous substances. Directive 2006/66/EC repealed Directive 91/157/EEC and * sets maximum quantities for certain chemicals and metals in certain batteries, * tasks Member States with encouraging improvements to the environmental performance of bat ...

Electric Vehicle
An electric vehicle (EV) is a motor vehicle whose propulsion is powered fully or mostly by electricity. EVs encompass a wide range of transportation modes, including road vehicle, road and rail vehicles, electric boats and Submersible, submersibles, electric aircraft and electrically powered spacecraft propulsion, electric spacecraft. Early electric vehicles first came into existence in the late 19th century, when the Second Industrial Revolution brought forth electrification and mass utilization of DC motor, DC and AC motor, AC electric motors. Using electricity was among the preferred methods for motor vehicle propulsion as it provided a level of quietness, comfort and ease of operation that could not be achieved by the gasoline engine cars of the time, but range anxiety due to the limited energy storage offered by history of the battery, contemporary battery technologies hindered any mass adoption of private electric vehicles throughout the 20th century.
