“…If these wastes result from or are integrated into a sector or product that has a significant environmental impact over its life cycle or a certain part of it, industrial symbiosis makes it possible to reduce the environmental impact of this sector or product. One of the examples found in the literature was the potential use of end-of-life electric vehicle lithium-ion batteries as storage systems for the renewable energy produced from photovoltaic systems in the generation of electricity for buildings [138,141]. In addition to using a waste material that is expected to increase over the next few years, this potential synergy also contributes to the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions from two sectors that are responsible for high greenhouse gas emissions-buildings and the automotive sector.…”

“…Since the main aim of these publications was to promote the use of new waste materials or the production of new products empowered by industrial symbiosis, it is not surprising that the predominant methods were those associated with laboratory-scale experiments. These tests were carried out to study not only the characteristics of waste materials [137,138] but also the final products [135,143] in order to guarantee their functionality and suitability for these purposes. A knowledge of the potential environmental, economic and social benefits that these new uses of waste can provide is also very relevant, as these can drive realisation.…”

“…A knowledge of the potential environmental, economic and social benefits that these new uses of waste can provide is also very relevant, as these can drive realisation. In the same way as for studies of potential industrial symbiosis between companies, the environmental component was the most frequently analysed aspect [135,[138][139][140], followed by economic factors [137,140,142,144], and finally social components [140]. The potential benefits from the use of new waste materials and the manufacture of new products based on industrial symbiosis are extremely diverse.…”

Industrial symbiosis, which is characterised mainly by the reuse of waste from one company as raw material by another, has been applied worldwide with recognised environmental, economic, and social benefits. However, the potential for industrial symbiosis is not exhausted in existing cases, and there is still a wide range of opportunities for its application. Through a comprehensive literature review, this article aims to compile and analyse studies that focus on potential industrial symbiosis in real contexts, to highlight the margin of optimisation that is not being used. The cases reported in the publications identified here were characterised and analysed according to geographic location, type of economic activity, waste/by-products, main benefits, and the methods employed in the studies. From this analysis, we conclude that there is great potential for applications involving industrial symbiosis throughout the world, and especially in Europe, corresponding to 53% of the total cases analysed. Manufacturing stood out as the sector with the highest potential for establishing symbiosis relationships, and the most common types of waste streams in potential networks were organic, plastic and rubber, wood, and metallic materials. This article also discusses the main drivers and barriers to realising the potential of industrial symbiosis. The diversity of industries, geographical proximity, facilitating entities and legislation, plans, and policies are shown to be the main drivers.

Increasing electric vehicles (EV) penetration leads to significant challenges in EV battery disposal. Reusing retired batteries in distributed energy systems (DES) offers resource-circular solutions. We propose an optimisation framework to model the emerging supply chains and design strategies for reusing the retired EV batteries in DES. Coupling a supply chain profit-allocation model with a DES design optimisation model, the framework maximises the whole chain profit and enables fair profit distribution between three interactive sectors, i.e., EV, DES, dismantling and recycle (D&R) sectors. Our research highlights the system implications of retired batteries on DES design and new modelling insights into incentive policy effectiveness. Our case study suggests significant potential value chain profits (2.65 million US$) achieved by deploying 10.7 MWh of retired batteries in the DES application with optimal retired battery price of 138 US$/kWh. The revenue support on D&R sector is suggested as a promising incentive scheme than tariff support.

“…Song et al considered that second‐life batteries is not beneficial for the involved windfarm at present wind and battery prices, nevertheless it may outstrip new batteries if the price of wind energy declines far quicker than the battery price in the future. Cusenza et al established a piece of equipment, composed of a 46 kWh retired Li‐ion batteries energy storage system, a 20 kW PV power station, that provided the electricity for a zero emission building and thought that it represented a direction of circular economy development. Tong et al presented a demonstration project about second‐life batteries for the time shifting of PV power and demand‐side management of housing.…”

Summary The fading characteristics of 60 Ah decommissioned electric vehicle battery modules were assessed employing capacity calibration, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and voltage measurement of parallel bricks inside modules. The correlation between capacity and internal resistance or voltage was analyzed. Then, 10 consistent retired modules were packed and configured in a photovoltaic (PV) power station to verify the practicability of their photovoltaic energy storage application. The results show that the capacity attenuation of most retired modules is not severe in a pack while minor modules with state of health (SOH) less than 80% bring about the retirement of the whole pack as a result of the buckets effect. There is no obvious correlation between capacities of retired battery modules and their lithium‐ion diffusion coefficients or charge transfer resistance or ohmic resistance, whose reliability is low as the consistency indexes of decommissioning battery modules. The maximum off load voltage difference ΔUmax at low state of charge (SOC) values has a good negative linear correlation with the capacity of retired modules, suggesting that the ΔUmax value at low SOC values can be considered as a characteristic index for fast classification of retired battery modules for large‐scale second‐life application. A PV power station equipped with retired battery energy storage system (RBESS) can maximize the photovoltaic self‐utilization rate. It is an important way to reutilization of retired battery that RBESSs are configured with distributed PV power stations.
