“We’ve long focused on creating ‘passports’ for assets like batteries. The core of this new initiative is the idea of a Battery Digital Passport, which is exactly where the EasyBat solution built on EW-DOS comes into play. This includes minimizing the environmental impact of batteries and repurposing batteries from electric vehicles and industrial batteries so that they can have a second life. Just last month, the European Commission announced the first initiative (the EU Battery Regulation) under its Circular Economy Action Plan: making batteries sustainable, high-performing, and safe along their entire life cycle - thus making them consistent with the carbon-neutral ambition of the European Green Deal. In recent years, battery lifecycle management has taken on heightened importance, thanks to the fast-growing adoption of customer-owned distributed energy resources (DERs), including residential batteries and electric vehicles (EVs). “This represents a revolutionary, customer-centric solution and affirms a key business case for distributed ledger technology.’” “By having created a decentralized digital passport, the entire logistic flow - from put-on-market all the way to reverse logistics for the takeback obligation and waste collection - is digitized on a decentralized digitally trusted ledger,” said Philippe Decrock from Bebat. The fact that all these entities work together on a shared decentralized ecosystem is an important and never-seen-before innovation. Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), distributors, installers, and accredited inspection and certification organizations issue and verify every relevant asset transaction. The solution is built on the Energy Web Decentralized Operating System (EW-DOS) open-source technology stack and focuses on the entire battery lifecycle.
Battery tracker dos registration#
Currently, in Belgium, the registration of customer-owned assets, such as a home battery, requires a lot of information and burdensome paperwork collection.ĮasyBat aims to greatly simplify that process. Before EasyBat, tracking battery assets was essentially non-existent. To date, lifecycle asset management for batteries has been cumbersome at best. Since 2006, the EU’s Battery Directive has required member countries to institute takeback schemes to ensure environmentally responsible recycling and/or disposal of post-consumer batteries. Brussels, Belgium and Zug, Switzerland - 16 March 2021 - Today Bebat, the Belgian battery compliance scheme Fluvius, the electricity and natural gas distribution system operator (DSO) for the Flemish Region of Belgium and Energy Web jointly announced an open-source solution for decentralized lifecycle battery asset management, called EasyBat.
