The proposal points out that although the country has successively introduced a number of policies in building a waste lithium battery recycling system in recent years, overall, there are still some problems.
First, the technical standards are not high. In terms of key technologies, the front end of power lithium battery recycling urgently needs to solve the lack of power lithium battery decommissioning determination standards and detection technology, cascade-usable battery residual value assessment technology, and automated dismantling and material sorting technology of single batteries.
Second, there is insufficient motivation for development. The policies issued by relevant national departments on the core measures for power lithium battery recycling are not very binding, and there is a lack of supporting reward mechanisms and regulatory means in terms of scientific research project planning, financial finance and taxation, and business environment. At the same time, limited by recycling costs, technology level, and processing scale, most companies in the industry are at a slight profit or even a loss.
Third, technological support is insufficient. Research on scientific research projects related to lithium battery recycling is fragmented and lacks systematicity. The ability to transform scientific research results is insufficient, and the disconnect between industry, academia and research still exists.
Fourth, there are environmental risks. In the treatment process, because my country has not formulated pollutant emission standards for the waste lithium battery treatment industry, especially the emission limits have not been set scientifically, many companies have improper recycling and disposal, causing water and heavy metal pollution.
Therefore, the proposal suggests:
Continue to strengthen technological research in the industry. The first is to continuously improve the research and development of key technologies. It mainly includes lithium battery decommissioning determination standards and detection technology, cascade-usable battery residual value assessment technology, automated dismantling and material sorting technology of single batteries, etc. The second is to continuously improve the existing waste lithium battery recycling technology and process level. Encourage enterprises to actively develop recycling technologies that are easier to achieve batch processing and reduce subsequent pollution, and promote the construction of engineering technology capabilities across the entire industry chain. The third is to actively use high technologies such as the Internet, big data, and the Internet of Things to improve the efficiency of evaluation and sorting of used power lithium batteries. Strengthen the application of information technology in the full life cycle of power lithium batteries, unite new energy vehicles and power lithium batteries, power lithium battery sorting and dismantling, echelon utilization companies and other entities to build a reverse big data system to achieve traceability management .
Establish an effective incentive mechanism and restraint mechanism. The first is the national key research and development plan project, which should focus on supporting the research and development of key technologies for the industrialization of power lithium battery recycling, key recycling equipment, and the research and development of new technologies and new processes for lithium battery recycling. The second is to set up an incentive fund, explore the establishment of a deposit system for power lithium battery recycling, and provide point-to-point incentives to new energy vehicle consumers and vehicle scrapping and dismantling companies and other entities. The third is to provide tax incentives to lithium battery recycling companies and provide subsidies to low residual value power lithium battery recycling companies. The fourth is to establish a recycling market and public service platform for used lithium batteries, and improve the evaluation mechanism and pricing mechanism for used power lithium batteries.
Explore and establish an intellectual property trading platform within the industry. In view of the fact that lithium-ion battery recycling technology patents are scattered and patent holders in other fields lack benefit-sharing channels, relevant departments should promote the establishment of a specialized intellectual property trading platform while issuing industry technical standards, and handle relevant legal issues to avoid Technology monopoly. In accordance with the principles of fairness, reasonableness and non-discrimination, we will introduce patent transfer fee standards, promote lithium battery recycling companies to comply with standards and reduce the costs and risks of technology research and development through information docking and property rights certification. Broaden technical contact channels within the industry, encourage the formation of intellectual property collectives within the industry, and enhance the overall technical level of the industry.
We attach great importance to recycling and pollution prevention and control.
Accelerate the formulation of technical specifications and industry pollutant emission standards, guide recycling enterprises to standardize pollution control processes, facilities and efficiency, reduce the emission of toxic and harmful substances, and strengthen pollution prevention and control in the recycling and disposal process. Carry out a special survey on pollutants in the power battery production industry and comprehensive utilization industry to find out the bottom line of pollutant production and emission in the industry, and conduct research around the release pathways, migration and transformation rules, environmental exposure levels and environmental effects of key toxic and harmful substances, so as to provide information for subsequent environmental management decisions. Scientific basis.
