Putting Science into Standards: Workshop – Summary & Outcomes: Driving Towards Decarbonisation of Transport: Safety, Performance, Second Life and Recycling of Automotive Batteries for e-Vehicles

The Directorate-General Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European Commission, together with the European Standardisation Organisations CEN and CENELEC, and the European Commission Directorate General for Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs (DG GROW) have launched an initiative, within the context of the European Forum on Science and Industry, to bring the research, industry and standardisation communities closer together entitled "Putting Science into Standards" (PSIS). As part of this initiative, workshops are held to facilitate screening of emerging science and technology areas to identify those where concerted research and standardisation activities are required to enable innovation and promote industrial competitiveness. The fourth event of this series organised by the JRC, was held on the 22-23 September at the JRC's Petten (NL) site on the subject of " Driving Towards Decarbonisation of Transport: Safety, Performance, Second Life and Recycling of Automotive Batteries for e-Vehicles". This workshop aimed at establishing a consensus between research, industry, policy and standardisation communities on the relevant technical issues involved, on the scope and nature of standardisation measures needed and at identifying a common way forward, including identification of the regulatory needs. The workshop focused on identifying standardisation and pre-normative research activities for automotive batteries to guide further deployment of e-mobility.JRC.C.1-Energy Storag
