Recording from Wednesday, April 1, 2026 | Battery Business & Development Forum | Language: English | Duration: 79:16 .
As Europe rapidly expands its battery storage fleet and looks to increase domestic production, supply chain security becomes essential. This session looks at measures taken to make the EU more independent in sourcing critical raw materials for BESS components and how the framework conditions to facilitate recycling and circular economy in BESS need to evolve. This session will assess how EU legislation such as the Batteries Regulation, the Circular Economy Act and the RESource EU Action Plan affect businesses and whether they can contribute sufficiently to providing European manufacturers with access to the quantity and quality of critical raw materials needed to ensure diversification.
