These batteries are also a solution to the renewable energy intermittency problem, for example by storing energy produced by solar panels.Today, the consumption of lithium has increased to the point of significantly exceeding its production. This situation means it is vital that we develop recycling, which also enables pollution from mining, the amount of waste landfilled in Europe and our dependence on imports to be reduced.1.What is the Commission doing to ensure that the Union has an industry capable of recycling 100% of the lithium consumed in our internal market?2.Is the Commission encouraging the second life of batteries by reusing them in stationary storage for renewable energy?3.Finally, is the Commission seeing results in the development of new very high-performance batteries, known as Generation 4 batteries, which could store more energy while using fewer raw materials?Supporters ................
