Emma Folkertsma

Contact me to collaborate with TNO in the field of Critical Raw Materials (CRMs), Circular Economy and Battery Recycling.

I am responsible for the Circular Electronics team within the Research Group Environmental Modelling Sensing and Analysis.

Additionally I am leading the CRM Lion National Growth Fund consortium that will create a new value chain for end-of-life batteries in the Netherlands, transforming them into secondary critical raw materials.

These innovations will reduce chemical use, minimise waste, and cut greenhouse gas emissions compared to conventional pyro- and hydrometallurgical methods.
