Shipping, use, and disposal/recycle considerations for sodium/beta batteries in electric vehicle (EV) applications
- USDOE, Washington, DC (USA)
- Argonne National Lab., IL (USA)
Shipping, in-vehicle use, and disposal/recycling considerations for sodium/beta batteries in electric vehicle (EV) applications were addressed in May 1990 at a US Department of Energy (DOE) planning meeting. DOE commissioned Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) to organize and conduct this meeting to help establish US and international regulations needed for the commercial introduction of sodium/beta battery powered EVs. Participation was limited to approximately 40 invited representatives from five countries -- Canada, West Germany, Japan, UK and US. The participants were about equally divided between industry and the US government and national laboratories. In addition to numerous specific recommendations by working teams in each regulatory area, general recommendations included: DOE leadership in organizing an oversight committee and subcommittees which meet at regular intervals; continue participation by battery developers, automobile manufacturers, and US regulatory agencies; and invite participation by Canadian government, US Department of Defense, Electric Power Research Institute, and industrial waste disposal/reprocessing experts.
