Abstract:
As the world shifts towards electrification, electromobility emerges as a pivotal element in reducing carbon footprints and enhancing urban mobility. Furthermore, it is a game-changer when it comes to redesigning our global energy and resource system. However, the transition is fraught with challenges, including resource scarcity, waste management, and infrastructure adaptation. This keynote addresses the vital concepts necessary for advancing sustainability in this sector, focusing on innovative strategies for recycling materials and integrating circular economy principles. Join us as we navigate the complexities and opportunities that lie ahead in the journey toward sustainable electromobility.
