The agreement marks an important step in bringing certified circular battery systems to Europe, starting with the Netherlands as the pilot market for Connexx’s EnePOND® BESS technology.

USP’s Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) will repurpose batteries that ended their first life cycle in electric vehicles, like e-buses, e-trucks and EV’s. An additional ten to fifteen years of lifetime can be added before the batteries are finally taken apart and recycled. A BESS can be used to power construction sites or as charger for electric equipment in rural areas where no sufficient power is available. Application in ports, marine equipment or in micro grids for congested areas is also promising.

This Dutch–Japanese collaboration shows the shared commitment to the energy transition of both countries. It blends Dutch entrepreneurship with Japanese high-tech innovation.
