The main objective of the CIPP is to achieve a circular economy for EV batteries and to promote the reuse of lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles (EVs). This includes developing ways to utilize used EV batteries in other products, as well as technologies and provisions to support the long-term use of EVs. Industry, government, and academia will work together to actively promote initiatives that will lead to the development of new markets.

The domestic market for EV battery circular economy is expected to grow to 600 billion yen in 2030 and 8 trillion yen in 2050, and it is hoped that the efforts of this council will contribute to the promotion of sustainable energy use.

As a company that supports social infrastructure, MHI is actively involved in the introduction and diffusion of sustainable technologies.
