It was a pleasure to interview Gavin Harper, Met4Tech Research Fellow for University of Birmingham, at Solar and Storage Live in Birmingham this year!
Solar&StorageXtra is the new publishing part of the Solar and Storage Live event series where we will be interviewing our esteemed speakers, exhibitors, sponsors and attendees to get their live reactions to the event and the important discussions within the industry.
Gavin joined Solar&StorageXtra to discuss the importance of recycling materials in renewable technologies to ensure an efficient transition to Net Zero.
Gavin explained a transition to net zero will only be achieved if we increase the lifespan of the materials used in renewable technologies.
Companies must identify the best practise to disassemble out of use technologies and use the materials in new supply chains. Keeping materials within a circular economy will help increase the efficiency of materials, increase businesses positive impact on the environment and provide a valuable resources for the next generation of batteries and Solar panels.
The same process must be included to unlock mass EV uptake. This is an enormous resource opportunity in keeping materials in end-of-life technologies in the system.
Ensuring this process will keep the renewable energy transition as renewable as possible.
