Energy recycling is the energy recovery process of using energy that would normally be wasted, usually by converting it into electricity or thermal energy. Undertaken at manufacturing
Renewable energy initiatives have faced criticism, including un-environmental disposal methods. Recycling can provide a solution to this issue and solve the energy storage conundrum. Battery storage is key to energy transition and there are several examples around the world of storage systems using recycled materials.
Achieved levels of recycling of RE waste characterize the variability of the current recycling status in different countries: up to 5% of batteries are recycled in the EU, 2–3% in Australia, up to 70% in China and South Korea , 13%–20% of wind turbine blades are recycled in the UK , up to 24% of the PV modules - in Italy and Spain .
The main methods for recycling RE equipment waste today, depending on the type of waste, are pyrolysis, solvolysis, fluidized bed, High Voltage Pulse Fragmentation (HVPF), hydrometallurgy, pyrometallurgy and Flash Joule Heating (FJH) technologies [, , , , , ].
These components can be recycled for many purposes (such as building material, sanitary and furnishing products, and tubing), but they can also be reused for energy storage. A Swiss company, Energy Vault, is developing a unique system for gravitational storage.
Battery storage is in many ways the key to the energy transition and all of the systems described use recycled materials. They are excellent examples, not only of the circular economy approach but of energy that is sustainable in every sense.
As the ties between green hydrogen and RE are tight, the desirable timeframe for solving the RE waste recycling issue is mostly guided by hydrogen’s terms and goals. International Renewable Energy Agency.
