Business Challenges

Lifecycle Management: The lack of transparency in the production and lifecycle stages of EV batteries makes it difficult to track their origin and manage them responsibly.
Regulatory Compliance: Ensuring adherence to environmental and sustainability standards is vital, but detailed tracking from production to end-of-life is often insufficient, risking non-compliance.
User Adoption: Widespread adoption of blockchain technology by manufacturers, recyclers, and other stakeholders is critical but remains a technical and organizational challenge.
Seamless Integration: Integrating blockchain with existing systems while maintaining operations is essential, requiring a smooth transition without disruptions.

Solutions

BE Blockchain and its partners designed a blockchain demonstrator tailored for DPP, using Hyperledger Besu for blockchain infrastructure and GraphQL for data integrity. This solution uses React.js and Node.js for system compatibility and provides customizable user experiences with real-time data reports.

Impact & Benefits

Blockchain Awareness: The project demonstrated how blockchain can revolutionize lifecycle management, especially for EV batteries, by ensuring complete transparency and traceability.
Data Management: It highlighted how blockchain simplifies data availability at every stage, enhancing communication across the battery lifecycle.
Data Security: The blockchain solution safeguards sensitive information while maintaining the necessary transparency.
