A major challenge for the future of electric batteries<\/h2>\n
\nan increasing volume of batteries will gradually reach the end of their first usage cycle in the coming years.\n<\/p>\n
\nis expected to grow from around $65.9 billion in 2021 to nearly $274 billion by 2030.\n<\/p>\n
\nFrench industrial capacities<\/a>
\nplanned under the France 2030 program are expected to enable the production of around 100 GWh of batteries per year by 2030.
\nThis corresponds to nearly 1.7 to 2 million
\nelectric vehicle batteries<\/a>
\nper year.\n<\/p>\n
\nto which must be added
\nbatteries for stationary storage and power tools<\/a>,
\nwhich are far more numerous but smaller in size.\n<\/p>\n
\nbetween 70% and 80% of its original energy capacity<\/strong>.\n<\/p>\n
\nto avoid premature recycling and maximize the value of resources that have already been extracted and processed<\/strong>.\n<\/p>\n\n
This approach helps optimize the use of resources while reducing the carbon footprint associated with the production of new batteries. By limiting the need to manufacture new batteries, the consumption of <\/span>mineral resources<\/a> such as lithium, cobalt, nickel and graphite is significantly reduced, materials whose extraction is energy-intensive, polluting and a source of geopolitical tensions.

Thousands of electric vehicle batteries (buses, coaches, trucks and cars) will be analyzed and tested as part of this program.
