Great news for Nissan and all other auto manufactures with end-of-life cycle problems of lithium-ion batteries, Green Data Center is teaming up with Nissan and conducting a project to develop technologies to allow urban data center users to reach 80% of renewable power use and decrease their average power usage effectiveness from its current range of 1.6 to 2.0 to less than 1.3. The director of the EV programme at Nissan, Redmer Van der Meer has released a statement,  explaining that this project has been in planning for about two years now and is completely in line with Nissan’s philosophy of the ‘4 Rs’ when it comes to vehicle components  – Reuse, Refabrication, Resell and/or Recycle.  “We have a holistic approach tied-in to our Leaf EV model and the 4R strategy.  One of the things to consider is the battery. Once it is of no use to the vehicle; that it could be utilized in a large-scale storage solution to facilitate the integration of data centers into smart grids, and a greener power supply management platform, would be ideal,” said Van der Meer.
