In a significant stride towards achieving the ambitious target of net-zero emissions by 2050, the UK Treasury has declared a groundbreaking move. From the 1st February 2024, battery storage systems will now be exempt from Value Added Tax (VAT), leading to a 20% cost reduction and extending the relief to grid-connected batteries.
Extension to Grid-Connected Batteries: The VAT relief has been extended to include grid-connected batteries, further incentivising the integration of renewable energy sources into the national grid. This expansion recognises the pivotal role grid-connected batteries play in stabilising and enhancing the efficiency of renewable energy systems.
For electric vehicles, lithium-ion batteries were presented as the best option, whereas sodium-batteries were frequently discussed as preferable to lithium in non-transport applications. As one respondent stated, ‘Sodium-ion batteries are emerging as a favourable option for stationary energy storage.’
The material recovery target for lithium is set at 50 % by the end of 2027, raising to 80 % by the end of 2031. The new recycling efficiency target introduced for nickel-cadmium batteries is set at 80 %, to be achieved by the end of 2025.
The procedure for restricting substances in batteries is further specified to allow the Member States right of initiative to start a restriction process. Separate time frames are introduced for electric vehicle batteries and industrial batteries as regards the carbon footprint rules.
The report also calls on the Commission to assess, by the end of 2025, the feasibility and potential benefits of setting up EU-wide deposit return systems for batteries, in particular for portable batteries of general use.
