Roger Miksad, Executive Vice President and General Counsel of Battery Council International, spoke to Innovation News Network<\/em> about the organisation and the manufacturing and recycling of lead-acid batteries.<\/h2>\n

Battery Council International (BCI) is a not-for-profit trade association. Since 1924, they have promoted the interests of the lead battery manufacturing and recycling industry. BCI has member companies worldwide engaged in every facet of the industry, including battery manufacturers and recyclers, marketers and retailers, suppliers of raw materials and equipment, and expert consultants. As the industry\u2019s principal trade association, BCI members have a global impact in powering the world.<\/p>\n

BCI Executive Vice President and General Counsel, Roger Miksad spoke to Innovation News Network<\/em>\u00a0to explain how lead batteries contribute to a circular economy and the recent improvements to lead battery technology.<\/p>\n

What advantages do lead batteries offer in terms of sustainability and a circular economy for batteries?<\/h3>\n

The unmatched sustainability story of lead batteries is being increasingly recognised as the world moves quickly toward electrification. Unlike other battery chemistries, all major components of a lead battery\u2014lead, plastic, and electrolyte\u2014can be recycled and reused to make new batteries, and more importantly are recycled today. They are the most recycled product in the world and their 99% recycling rate is an enviable achievement.<\/p>\n

Lead batteries offer a truly circular economy<\/a> in that the materials recovered from used lead batteries are used to manufacture new lead batteries: typical new lead batteries are built from 80% or more recycled content. 95% of the lead used to make new lead batteries in the U.S. comes from battery recycling. The industry\u2019s strong domestic recycling capacity provides a resilient supply chain insulated from disruptions during pandemics and other pressures:\u00a0 almost 90% of the lead used in the U.S. comes from North American recyclers.<\/p>\n

In terms of energy storage, how do lithium-ion and lead-acid batteries compare?<\/h3>\n

Both battery chemistries have their advantages, and the best choice of chemistry depends on the specific application and customer. In addition to significant cost advantages, lead batteries are the superior choice for numerous applications such as powering advanced manufacturing facility backup power systems, telecommunications power storage systems, automotive SLI and auxiliary power, and electric forklifts. Customers recognise these advantages: lead batteries provide 70% of the global rechargeable battery capacity in use.<\/p>\n

When combined with the strong domestic supply chain and recycling success, lead batteries are the only battery chemistry which already delivers on the promise of being a truly renewable battery energy storage technology, to pair with renewable energy generation.<\/p>\n

Can you tell me about any issues surrounding the recycling of electric batteries and how these are being addressed?<\/h3>\n

There is a growing awareness that as EVs become more common and as the first generation of EVs operating on lithium batteries reach end of life, there is not yet an ideal recycling solution for those batteries. Obviously sending batteries to landfills is not the preferred outcome, and the current estimated 15% or less recycling rate must be improved.\u00a0 Private and government efforts, like the U.S.\u00a0 Department of Energy\u2019s Lithium-Ion Battery Recycling Prize, are hoping to find innovative solutions to collecting, storing and transporting discarded lithium-ion batteries for eventual recycling.<\/p>\n

We believe that the circular economy of lead batteries can serve as a model for newer battery chemistries.<\/p>\n

\"lead-acid<\/p>\n

What improvements to lead battery technology have been made in recent years and how are these benefitting the energy storage market?<\/h3>\n

The lead battery industry continues to focus on innovation to extend the service life of lead batteries, increase performance, and reduce the lead content in batteries.\u00a0 The widespread adoption of technologies like AGM, TPPL, and EFB batteries over the past decade has demonstrated that the industry continues to deliver new and improved innovative designs.<\/p>\n

And the industry is investing in the next generation of lead batteries. For example, a large group of lead battery industry companies have collaborated for the past three years on ground-breaking pre-competitive research on the basic science of next generation lead batteries through a research CRADA (Cooperative Research and Development Agreement) with the Department of Energy\u2019s Argonne National Laboratory. Now in its third year, discoveries regarding lead and crystallisation could lead to doubling the dynamic charge acceptance of lead batteries and lead to longer battery life.<\/p>\n

We are also seeing continued interest in bipolar batteries which can be lighter, have longer duration and are faster changing than some traditional lead batteries.<\/p>\n

Many of our members are also a part of the Consortium for Battery Innovation (CBI<\/a>), the research arm of the lead battery industry. Their project focus for 2021 includes a range of projects from neutron diffraction to improve the lifetime of energy storage batteries, to bipolar battery technology which uses silicon wafers, similar to those found in solar cells, in traditional lead batteries to reduce weight and achieve performance competitive with lithium-ion batteries at a lower cost.<\/p>\n

Lead batteries have a bright future, and some incredible innovations are on the horizon.\u00a0 Through increased R&D funding and public-private partnerships like that at Argonne, it is possible to dramatically increase the cycle life, performance, and energy density of lead batteries.\u00a0 Today, lead batteries achieve approximately 40% of the maximum theoretical energy density.\u00a0 The industry\u2019s long-term goal is to unlock the true potential of lead batteries to achieve 95% or even greater of theoretical energy density.<\/p>\n

Finally, can you tell us about any events or projects that the BCI has coming up in the near future?<\/h3>\n

In September we will host the first in-person lead battery and recycling meeting in almost two years. The BCI Convention + Power Mart Expo<\/a> will take place September 22-25 in beautiful San Diego, California. We expect strong participation from our members and other industry followers who are eager to be together again to examine the state of the industry and recognise the winner of the annual BCI Innovation Award<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We are also actively engaged in the U.S. Department of Energy\u2019s Energy Storage Grand Challenge, whose objective is to increase America\u2019s energy storage manufacturing independence through increased domestic research, development, production, and recycling.<\/p>\n
