Assessment of the biological methane potential of different food residues from a market in Ghana for local residues valorization and biogas production

We kindly invite you to the SESA Online Webinar on ‘Exploring the potential of 2nd life batteries in the Africa countries’ to be held online via Zoom on Wednesday 24th January, 12:00 – 13:30 GMT (15:00 – 16:30 EAT / 13:00 – 14:30 CET).

Webinar overview

The use of batteries has been gaining traction across the world for battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and in other applications. Battery usage aims to reduce the GHG emissions and boost the adoption of clean energy technologies globally. In general, the lifetime of batteries is approximately 10 years, depending upon its application and usage, after which these are disposed. However, disposed batteries still have the capacity to be repurposed and utilised in other applications that can accomodate the lower efficiencies of the second-life batteries and, inturn, save costs. Thus, the usage of second-life batteries helps increase the lifespan and prevent early disposal. In the African context, battery-based applications are comparatively newer. This provides an opportunity to explore the potential of second-life batteries in various applications including electrification, energy storage, etc., and explore how new businesses can be created around recycling and repurposing the second-life batteries, taking into account the existing and upcoming regulations in the African countries. In this webinar, the speakers will present some of the activities being undertaken in the SESA project on the topic of second-life batteries. In addition, the webinar will also host speakers (entrepreneurs, industry players, representatives from local bodies, etc.) from outside the SESA project consortium to discuss businesses and policies in the African context. This webinar is part of the fifth module of the SESA capacity building programme, a self-paced e-learning programme which focuses on the second-life batteries. The courses are available on the NUA campus platform.

About SESA

SESA’s primary goal is to address climate change and prevent situations of technological  entrenchment, all while enhancing access to sustainable energy through cost-effective and  dependable means. As such, digital connectivity and access to rural areas is a catalyst to  ensure this goal.

The project’s objective is to ensure that its actions can be readily replicated on a large scale.  In pursuit of surpassing conventional practices and maximising the project’s influence,  collaborative innovations will be co-developed with local partners. Furthermore, the project will  maintain close cooperation with similar initiatives to capitalise on shared advantages.
