Ethical battery revolution: Making our energy revolution sustainable and safe

What if we could create new materials that allow our batteries to last longer, be more powerful and safer? Batteries have helped to transform our lives and the technological development in this field has been ground-breaking. However, we are still waiting for a battery revolution to make them cheaper and recycled at scale following emerging regulations and demands. Dr Ola Hekselman will share her vision on future battery technologies and their applications, and in particular how we can take a more proactive stance towards recyclability. If we are building gigafactories, then what about the gigarecycling plants? In her session, she will share what might be needed to power the next 20-years of battery revolution and how to make it ethical and safe for the user.
