A researcher from the Centre's Renewable Energy Research Group visited South Korea to learn about battery reuse technology with researchers from Younsei University in Seoul. Re-use is important because the life of a battery can be extended, as once its useful life in one application is over, it can start a "new life" in another. This is what the industry calls "second life" recovery. A good example is the use of batteries that are no longer used in electric cars but can still be used elsewhere as grid batteries, which increases the flexibility of the electricity system. The same team of researchers then visited the Izmir Institute of Technology as part of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory project. On the basis of the cooperation agreement between the two institutions, the Hungarian researchers gave presentations on the circular economy to a large number of interested visitors at the Turkish partner institution
