BATTERY RECYCLING - OPPORTUNITY ASSESSMENT IN LIGHT DUTY ELECTRIC VEHICLE

 “It is undeniable that electric vehicles (EVs) help to protect the environment. However, the present problem is deciding whether to reuse or recycle an EV battery after its initial use. This work addresses these topics, namely, recycling and reuse, on a theoretical level. It was discovered that there are various commercially available recycling procedures, as well as ones that are still being researched, in order to recover the highest number of materials and quantities possible. The concept of battery reuse (second life) is promising since, after their initial life, batteries from electric vehicles can be used in a variety of purposes, such as storing renewable energy to maintain the federal grid.”

However, the cost and life-cycle analysis (LCA) revealed that battery reuse applications entail various factors. As a result, a single LCA generalised method will no longer be able to deliver an optimal solution in all circumstances. It is critical to conduct a thorough investigation of each of the battery reuse applications. Until then, it's reasonable to conclude that reusing the batteries is a good idea, as it would give recycling companies more time to develop cost-effective and energy-efficient solutions.

Electric vehicles (EVs) have the potential to help mitigate the effects of climate change. EVs are intended to aid in decarbonization and the creation of a more sustainable planet. Governments in numerous parts of the world are encouraging the use of electric vehicles. Globally, the number of electric vehicles on the road climbed from 17,000 in 2010 to 8.5 million by 2020. Such developing trends relate to rising demand for high-performance batteries for electric vehicles (EVs), such as Li-ion batteries (LIB), which are regarded as the most promising chemistry for EVs due to their intrinsic properties and significant cost decrease over the last decade.

The predicted huge growth in the presence of electric batteries in the automobile sector in the coming years will present a dilemma in terms of how to dispose of the batteries once their initial useful life has expired. Because of the high environmental effect of manufacturing a new battery, treating it as waste once it has been removed from the vehicle is not an appropriate approach. In this case, the battery industry has two alternatives for dealing with the end-of-life (EoL) phase of the battery:

  • Redirect the battery to a second life-use circuit, which extends the battery's usable life by offering alternate energy storage services, lowering the battery's environmental effect per kWh delivered.
  • Transfer the battery to a recycling circuit, where a substantial percentage of important components, particularly crucial raw materials (CRM), are salvaged and reused to make new batteries, lowering the manufacturing process's environmental effect.

Major Market Highlights:

  • MG Motor and Hyundai have institutional partners for battery waste disposal for their electric cars, the ZS EV and Kona Electric, which were released in the Indian market. For optimal life cycle management of the batteries used in the e-ZS electric vehicle, MG worked with Umicore, a lithium battery recycling solutions supplier.
  • Tata Chemicals has started recycling lithium-ion batteries in Mumbai. The activities, which were started on a small scale, were able to successfully recycle the expended batteries.
  • Mahindra Electric has stated that, with the support of a supply partner, it intends to enable EV battery recycling in a manner similar to that of cell phone batteries.
  • eBikeGo, an Indian electric vehicle manufacturer, has launched a campaign to recycle lithium and lead acid EV batteries. It is aiming to form a partnership with solar plant manufacturers in order to extend the battery lifecycle.

VIRTUAL ASSISTANTS FOR IMPROVING CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE IN TELECOM INDUSTRY

 If you consider the customer satisfaction index, the telecom industry is probably one of the worst ranking industries. But that was only until 2019. By the end of 2020, together, the sector made sure to climb up the satisfaction rate. And guess what? They will be able to do that. However, it’s just the beginning.  The importance of customer experience is growing like never before. And one tool that’s helping telecom industries is the use of virtual assistants. Did you know that OTT platforms are eroding the revenues of telecom industries? With video-on-demand media, the consumers are trying to cut the cord even more eager than ever before.  However, things are changing. How? Let’s find out! Virtual Assistants Aiding in Better CX in Telecom: Decoding the Ways If the telecom industry upgrades its digital customer engagement scale, it can easily experience the upsides in terms of better engagement, services, resulting in boosting sales. However, telecom operators often don’t have the peo

E-HEALTH: THE BOOM IN DIGITAL HEALTH TO DUISRUPT LIFE SCIENCES AND MEDICAL COMMUNITY

  E-Health is an developing field in the intersection of public health, medical informatics, and business, mentioning to health services and data delivered or enhanced through the Internet and connected technologies. In the broader sense, the term characterizes a technical development and a state of mind, a way of thinking, an attitude, and a commitment for networked, global review, to recover health care locally, regionally, and globally by using information and communication technology. The 5 e's in "E-Health" Efficiency  - one of the promises of e-health is to increase efficiency in health care, thereby decreasing costs. One possible way of reducing costs would be by avoiding duplicative or unnecessary diagnostic or therapeutic interventions through enhanced communication possibilities between health care establishments and patient involvement. Enhancing quality  of care - increasing efficiency involves not only reducing costs but at the same time improving quality. E-

HYDROGEN STORAGE - A DISRUPTIVE TECHNOLOGY INNOVATION

  Excessive expectations have been met with disappointment in the past with hydrogen technologies. Nonetheless, a rising body of research suggests that these technologies are a viable choice for deep decarbonization of global energy systems, with recent cost and performance advances pointing to economic viability. The cost of producing, transporting, and storing hydrogen has decreased dramatically. This is complemented by an increase in clean technology regulations. As a result, we predict that hydrogen technology will gain traction, particularly in the transportation and alternative energy generation sectors. The transition to a sustainable energy economy needs an energy carrier capable of large-scale carbon-free energy transfers. Hydrogen is a sustainable energy carrier with the potential to benefit the whole energy sector. However, storing significant amounts of hydrogen is difficult. There are numerous obstacles to overcome in order to achieve a cost-effective hydrogen cycle. Hydro
