Powering a circular value chain for large batteries

Large energy storage batteries are a vital part of Aotearoa New Zealand's transition to a low emissions economy.

Globally, a circular value chain for batteries could achieve 30% of the emissions reduction needed in the transport and power sectors to meet targets under the Paris agreement.

We’re acting now to deliver a product stewardship scheme that enables the innovation and collaboration needed to make large energy storage batteries a valuable resource in New Zealand’s circular economy.
