Global stock of electric vehicles (EVs) could reach 245 million units by 2030, according to the International Energy Agency.
While EVs emit less CO2, their batteries are tough to recycle.
Made from cobalt, lithium and nickel, the mining of these raw materials raises ethical and environmental concerns.
Creating a circular supply chain by recycling the batteries’ raw materials will be vital in reducing their environmental impact.
Electric vehicles (EVs) may reduce emissions, but the lithium-ion batteries on which they run pose a unique sustainability challenge.

Eurasian Resources announced that it has submitted an Action Pledge to strengthen its commitment to eliminate child labour in the cobalt mining sector in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), where Unicef has estimated that close to 40,000 children are engaged in mining activities.
The Action Pledge is administered by the International Labour Organisation and the Alliance 8.7. The mechanism aims to accelerate efforts to eradicate child labour worldwide in support of the UN’s designation of 2021 as the International Year for the Elimination of Child Labour.
5 Blockchain Startups Disrupting The Energy Sector By Alex Kimani - Mar 04, 2021, 5:00 PM CST
Despite its enormous potential to transform the global energy sector, blockchain technology has largely remained confined to the financial sector, with the energy industry consistently catalyzed by innovations in sub-sectors such as rooftop solar, offshore wind, smart metering, battery storage, and electric vehicles.
But this is now beginning to change thanks to the Enterprise Ethereum blockchain emerging as the newest technology to spur growth in the energy sector across a raft of verticals from peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading and smart contracts to green energy provenance and systems interoperability.
