title = "A Circular Economy for Lithium-Ion Batteries Used in Mobile and Stationary Energy Storage: Drivers, Barriers, Enablers, and Policy Considerations",
abstract = "The demand for large-format lithium-ion batteries (LIB) is expected to continue in the U.S. to meet renewable energy and decarbonization goals. Total installed large-scale stationary battery energy storage is expected to increase almost 10-fold from 2021 to 2025 and LIBs account for 97% of the expected market share. Similarly, LIBs deployed in electric vehicles is expected to increase, with passenger electric vehicles alone expected to reach 16 million units on U.S. roads by 2030 and 46 million by 2025. The expected demand for LIBs brings supply chain concerns and a growing need for a circular economy for LIB materials. Domestic reuse and recycling is one potential circular economy solution for LIB. This presentation identifies drivers, barriers, and enablers to a circular economy for LIBs, as well as, the current U.S. law and regulatory landscape for the reuse and recycling of LIB materials, and how certain policy frameworks impact reuse and end-of-life management decisions for LIB materials.",
