A revolutionary digital data platform empowering enterprises, knowledge institutes and governmental organisations with trustworthy and transparent data on the location, performance, life expectancy, environmental impact and value of Li-ion EV batteries based on the principles of circular economy.
A collective approach to data storage and exchange powered by machine learning and artificial intelligence.
TripleE is a decentralised, web-based data platform that gathers data and transforms it into knowledge enableing organisations to implement innovative and sustainable solutions for the value maximisation of Lithium-ion batteries in a circular economy.
At TripleE we believe in the maximisation of shared value. By teaching our smart algorithms the principles of circular economy, we match the best use case to the health status of the batteries, prolonging lifetime and avoiding negative socio-environmental impact up- and downstream in the supply chain.
An average EV battery has a remaining capacity of 70-80% after its first use. By applying our track-and-trace technology and recommendation engine, TripleE can recommend use cases and organisations within the platform’s ecosystem to repair, reuse and recycle in the best configuration.
The potential value of end-of-life batteries is significant. Extending battery lifetime through repairs, avoids new battery costs, reusing batteries in energy storage systems allows peak shaving, preventing the need for large investments in grid capacity, recycling EV batteries returns valuable materials to the supply chain.
The global battery market increases by 25% each year, EV batteries make up 60% of this market. New regulations and battery directives will demand emission registration, digital twins and circular end-of-life applications. TripleE guides the EV and battery sector through this landscape of new challenges in a shifting market.
The market for lithium-ion batteries is growing rapidly, creating a large supply of second-life EV batteries. EV batteries retain an 80% power capacity at end-of-life, not enough to power the car’s acceleration but plenty of capacity for storing and releasing energy for years to come in various applications and setups. A unique opportunity is created for extending the lifetime of ‘wasted’ EV batteries bringing energy independence in a climate-neutral and economically viable way. In this development the complex nature of the supply chain forms a barrier and actors lack the insight and knowledge to realise their innovative solutions. The TripleE battery data platform functions as an enabler facilitating the needed data to empower these innovative solutions and propositions.
TripleE is a collective platform that bundles, analyses and redistributes transparent data on the location, performance, life expectancy, environmental impact, and value of Lithium-ion batteries during and after use. We are a tech company with high domain knowledge of capturing and using data applying innovative technologies. Applying innovative and intelligent IT-solutions TripleE can bridge the data gap for value maximisation of Li-ion batteries starting in Europe.
TripleE’s platform provides complete transparency of data flows in the value chain across the product lifecycle, from provenance to finality through immutable and decentralised data storage and data exchange.
A standardised data format (digital twin), developed in line with EU standards like GRI and GS1 to attain platform scalability and data interoperability.
Platform security through encryption, adhering to security standards. Decentralised technology registers data modifications creating a trustworthy, immutable and incorruptible database.
By combining business and governmental actors, TripleE safeguards the realisation of societal goals while enabling businesses to pursue new business models.
With a modular software design and a common business vocabulary, TripleE can integrate with external data-systems to exchange data and achieve interoperability in the supply chain.
By applying semantic principles to the dataset, TripleE can generate innovative insights in an efficient manner and contribute to the European (and international) Data catalogue.
Large data (Big data) provides for better prediction and recommendation models driven by machine learning algorithms. This helps to achieve the wisdom hierarchy (Data, Information, Knowledge, and Wisdom).
Data is stored in decentralised databases, enabling tracking of batteries’ location, owner, performance, life expectancy, environmental impact, and economic value to all the parties.
Applying the data from the Triple E platform enables you as a manufacturer to extend your producer responsibility and ensure a second life for EV Li-ion batteries originating from your facilities. Furthermore, the TripleE platform can help create an overview to see where EV-batteries, originating your facilities, are operating in real-time using our Track-and-Trace technology enabling new business possibilities. Moreover, the platform can transparently display the environmental impact savings associated with such re-applications strategies of batteries.
Possessing such an overview can be valuable in order to stay compliant with current and future EU regulations regarding battery waste, environmental impact, and extended producer responsibilities.
Second-life batteries are increasingly used in (of the grid) energy storage facilities to increase energy resilience, or for peak shaving to store surplus energy from PV panels.
Consequently, entrepreneurs and facility managers can contribute to carbon-neutral offices and event spaces in a financially sustainable way. Acquiring new battery supplies through the TripleE platform will help scale such solutions through the implementation of second-life batteries. Obtain knowledgeable intel on battery location, expected performance, life expectancy, environmental impact, and economic value.
Triple E provides government organizations with the means to monitor innovations, economic activities, and more related to Lithium-ion battery management at any place in the value chain. What's more, these data points can be coupled to LCA data of the environmental impact and material composition of EV battery waste being disposed of, thereby providing the intel needed to enforce policies at essential intervention points. This can help formulate new standards or policies and ensure compliance throughout the sector.
Over recent years, many new entrepreneurs created innovative solutions to tackle the challenges and grasp the opportunities in the battery value chain. Some great examples are energy-neutral buildings or remote energy storage using (second-life) batteries or reuse for transportation purposes after refurbishment. However, oftentimes, when aiming to apply second-life batteries, entrepreneurs run into multiple barriers; There is no constant supply of reusable batteries, there is a lack of quality standards for second-life batteries, there is no performance/lifetime data available. All these uncertainties jeopardize the willingness to invest.
The TripleE platform can create insight in battery location to create a constant supply, expected performance, and life expectancy to predict the optimal reuse strategy and potential savings in environmental impact and gains in economic value.
As a collective brain of the sector TripleE values working together with knowledge institutes. TripleE can assist researchers with rich intelligent data for instance on consumer behaviour, circular business models, reverse logistics, recycling rates, and environmental impact. Acquire the data needed to conduct research on the EV Battery supply chain, its challenges, and sustainability-related dynamics in the energy industry. Create prediction models and find new stakeholders for pilot projects.
TripleE aims to provide waste handlers, such as recycling companies, with the best intel on battery location, end-of-life value, and, most importantly, battery contents. The young and innovative nature of the lithium-ion battery value chain results in numerous incremental and radical innovations in the design and composition of batteries. Recyclers have to deal with this vast amount of battery types and compositions. TripleE‘s battery passport allows direct insights into the expected composition of the wasted batteries, the maintenance performed, and the potential hazardous or toxic materials they might contain. Connecting data points from the whole supply chain to our semantic dataset, waste handlers can easily match supply and demand with a simple search command. This information can result in the creation of type-specific recycling lines and the supply needed to create an economy of scale
