Room 502

Due to unprecedented growth in the energy storage and EV manufacturing sectors, the demand for minerals to build these assets is stressing the critical supply chains necessary for sustainable growth. Repurposing retired batteries represents a transformative approach to achieving clean, affordable, and reliable power solutions.

Attendees will hear insights from Gurmesh Sidhu, CTO of Moment Energy, which leverages the untapped potential of EV batteries beyond their automotive life. Crucial issues such as safety, reliability, and liability concerns associated with repurposed batteries will be discussed.

CEO and co-founder of SPR (solarpanelrecycling.com) Brett Henderson will discuss current PV module recycling technologies, costs to recycle, the importance of recycling at end-of-life for clean energy branding, and evolving regulations in solar recycling at local, state, and federal levels.

Additionally, Scott Packard of Smartville.io will shed light on how strategic advancements in battery recycling can reshape the energy landscape and fuel a sustainable future.
