Electrical and electronic equipment
Challenges
The role of the circular economy
General
- Managing profitability of utilities.
- Managing electricity generation mix in the medium term.
- Digitalisation of the network and its integration with Europe.
- Developing predictive maintenance systems and self-optimisation systems.
Priority strategies and approaches
- Product eco-design and energy labelling.
- Re-manufacturing electrical and electronic equipment.
- Waste recycling.
- Servitisation associated with electrical systems.
- Regulation and control with simulation.
Environmental
- CO2 and other GHG emissions.
- Recovery of critical raw materials contained in waste.
- Minimising waste generation.
- Improvement of waste collection and treatment processes (92% of the impact is in the use phase).
Competitive improvements
- Eco-designing energy-related products.
- Energy labelling.
- Treatment of waste electrical and electronic equipment.
- Recovery of non-ferrous metals contained in waste batteries.
- New renewable energy storage technologies: molten metals.
- Lithium-ion based energy storage system.
- Conversion of renewable energy into chemicals using electrolysis processes.
- Manufacturing manganese dioxide and iron as secondary raw materials.
