Tracing Battery Supply Chain with Raw Material Analysis

Tracing Battery Supply Chain with Raw Material AnalysisProject: SpuRo

in short

In the SpuRo project, PEM Motion and its partners are developing methods to reveal the chemical fingerprints of battery raw materials. Using this information, the origin and quality of material can be traced—an important step toward transparent and sustainable supply chains.

Project Information

Full Project Title: Element Trace Analysis for Determining the Quality and Supply Chains of Battery Raw Materials (SpuRo)

Project Duration: 2025–2028

Funding: Supported by the Ministry for Environment, Nature Conservation, and Transport of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia within the EFRE/JTF Program NRW 2021–2027 as part of the GreenEconomy.IN.NRW innovation competition

Consortium Lead: Fraunhofer Research Institution for Battery Cell Manufacturing FFB

OUR THREE WORKSHOP APPROACH

WORKSHOP 1

Develop analytical methods for determining the origin, quality, and recycling content of battery raw materials using element and isotope trace analysis.

WORKSHOP 2

Create a reliable and verifiable certification system for primary and secondary (recycled) battery materials.

WORKSHOP 3

Enhance transparency and sustainability along the entire battery supply chain through scientific and industrial collaboration.
