LIFE ReLiGHT is a project that will take place over seven years and is funded by the European Union’s LIFE programme, which supports environmental conservation, circular economy, climate action and energy transition projects in Europe. The project has an estimated cost of 7.8 million euros, with public financing of 60%.
LIFE ReLiGHT has as objectives: To provide a second life for used electric vehicle lithium-ion batteries through their re-use as part of a battery energy storage solution integrated into wind and solar farms. Such re-use will lead to the development of a new type of hybrid renewable plant, providing a source of energy during periods when renewable sources are not guaranteed and therefore avoiding carbon-based energy sources. At the end of this extended lifetime of the batteries, the project will close the loop through a recycling strategy.
