** Report to support the preparation of EU secondary legislation on battery performance and durability requirements **   📜 In August 2023, the Batteries Regulation entered into force, harmonizing EU-wide rules for the entire value chain of batteries, aiming at making batteries more sustainable. As mandated in the legal text, it will be followed up by secondary legislation providing more detailed technical specifications and rules. In two pieces of secondary legislation, minimum requirements shall be introduced regarding performance and durability of LMT (e.g. e-bike) and industrial batteries (incl. stationary storage).   💡 This brand-new Technical Report is part of the technical input that the European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC) is providing to support the preparation of secondary legislation.   ⏳ The upcoming JRC work will involve further reports, observation of standardization activities, stakeholder consultations, and assistance during legal text drafting.

Fully support this legislation that mandates comprehensive information disclosure on batteries .Others battery type including user details, re-use potential, revived battery capacity, and 2nd life distribution specifics shall include. Such transparency can significantly curb illegal practices in battery recycling and trading activities. #BatteryLegislation #Transparency #SustainablePractices #circulareconomy #battery #telekom #tnb #nres

Have you ever wondered what policy support means? The Joint Research Center of the #europeancommission supports #EU policies, such as the New #Batteries #Regulation. This JRC Technical report focused on battery performance and durability requirements is worth the read!

TOMCO Systems has been working with the City of Refuge, Inc. (COR) to develop a welder training/certification program for those individuals who are transitioning out of crisis by enabling them to learn applicable skills that will provide them with high-paying, rewarding jobs. This is both a benefit to the individual and to society. But also to the State of Georgia by being a small part of developing that highly sought-after, experienced workforce. We require an expansion of skilled trade labor, including welders, engineers, electricians, and coders/programmers. States that bolster the presence of these skill sets in their workforce will draw the greatest investment. Without a skilled workforce, there's no investment from manufacturers, and without investment, there's no opportunity for workforce development.

🔋 The European #battery market is growing and so is the demand for battery equipment. So far, European mechanical and plant engineering has only been able to establish itself as a supplier to the emerging battery industry in Europe to a limited extent compared to its Asian competitors. In addition to a lack of references in the battery sector, the European mechanical and plant engineering industry has little experience in the manufacture of #turnkey systems for the battery industry. One way of encountering the existing competitive disadvantages is the formation of cooperations between equipment manufacturers. 💡 In our new short study, we shed light on the topic of mechanical and plant engineering as a strategic component of the European battery ecosystem. To assess the situation, interviews with different equipment supplier and battery cell manufacturer were conducted. We asked the interview partners: Is cooperation a key to success? 👉Read more about it in our short study: https://lnkd.in/eWWUkBaz The Market Analysis is a publication by the Accompanying Research on #BatteryCellProduction on behalf of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action. #BMWK #IPCEI #EuropeanBatteryInnovation

Inspected 10+ manufacturers of wafers, cells, modules & battery storage systems in China during the last 2 weeks. 60+% of those companies were partially (some completely) shutdown. Visited several equipment manufacturers (cells, modules and battery storages). New equipment, higher capacities with significant technology improvements are under construction, but orders for this year will be low. It's evident that Chinese PV manufacturers will fight each others, at least this and next year, to stay alive, mantain market shares and bring the most competititive products to their customers, but many companies will disappear! Chinese manufacturers are preparing the floor to allow PV to be more and more competitive: cells and modules efficiencies are continuously improving and costs are going down (90um wafer thickness are running in small volumes for testing, silver paste consumptions are lowering, 0BB will be implemented soon, strong R&D on new technologies, like tandem, perovskite...), and more!!!! Just be careful about final PV modules quality, which is difficult to control and keep constant in MASS PRODUCTION in such unstable conditions. After attending SNEC in Shanghai my feeling is that now Chinese companies are willing (forced) to collaborate more and invest in EU, US (several GW investments ongoing) and other countries to stay in the market and this is a huge opportunity. EU and US companies can select the best technologies to establish new productions in their countries, bring back the top know-how and the supply chain, and create jobs. Big difficulties for the sector this year, but also big opportunities to catch!! #MRP #PVadvisor #PVdesign #PVinspections #TopCon #HJT Mark Rossetto Marco Piccoli MRP Srl

Announcement Featured on Water & Wastewater Asia! A Second Project in the Philippines – This Time for a Leading Japanese Electronics Corporation Aiming for a 93% Water Recovery Rate. Amidst global climate challenges and increasing water scarcity, it’s crucial for key industries, such as semiconductors, to innovate in water recovery and minimize waste discharge. We are excited to launch this new project, which will deploy the trailblazing Flow Reversal Reverse Osmosis (FR-RO) technology within a two-pass system, to treat 400 m³/day and ensure lower permeate conductivity. Jane Ubalde, Owner of Acqua Engineering And Technical Services, stated: “Working with ROTEC again, I have trust in the technology which has already proved successful in installations across a variety of sectors in APAC and the Philippines.” Learn more about how this collaboration aims to set new standards in water sustainability. #wastewatertreatment #desalination #sustainability #innovation #technology #semiconductor https://lnkd.in/dmGgrYUe

How can fluid power professionals remove the burden of innovation for customers? Global Segment Director Off-Highway Michael Cook suggests that we need to look at ways to help each other formulate new solutions with minimal effects on daily business operations by pursuing a shared innovation approach across the fluid power supply chain.
