Online Course in Sustainable Battery Design

This course focuses on the fundamentals of battery materials and their sustainability assessment from the perspective of circularity. The aim is to demonstrate the principles for more sustainable battery production, especially for the EU market.

This program aims to help organizations to:

• Reduce the overall life-cycle climate and environmental footprint of their products
• Achieve longer product lifetimes through more durable and repairable designs
• Increase the circular material use rate
• Reduce waste, and
• Achieve higher recycling rates.

Consequently, consumers, the environment, and the climate will benefit from products that are more durable, reusable, repairable, recyclable, and energy-efficient.

Participants may choose to complete this program as a standalone or join the comprehensive Certificate in Advanced LCA Simulation program.

The program supports the EU’s sustainable products initiative to make products placed on the EU market more sustainable. It provides product designers with knowledge and tools to understand how they can adjust existing material cycles and design new processes to optimize the environmental performance of batteries while maintaining their functional quality. Applications include electronic equipment such as computers, phones, and tablets, the automotive and aeronautic sectors, and sustainable energy-related technologies.
