Lithium-Ion battery circular economy roadmap
Highlight narratives
Highlight narratives
The Met4Tech researchers identified several key messages and prepared a set of short ‘highlight narratives’ for the UK roadmap. Several of these narratives were explored using the agent-based model (ABM) developed for the UK LIB system.
This roadmap consists of the nine sections along the top menu bar, together with 10 Highlight Narratives and a section on Agent-based modelling that link from appropriate places in the text. The contents of the nine sections and the list of Highlight Narratives are given here to help you navigate the full Roadmap.
