本研究は、エストニアを中心にバルト地域におけるEVバッテリーのセカンドライフ普及の障壁を分析。技術的ではなく、ガバナンス上の課題（分類の曖昧さ、責任の不明確、安全規制の弱さなど）が主因であることを明らかにした。EU規制だけでは不十分で、各国での安全ガバナンスや制度整備が必要と提言。
English
This study examines policy and institutional barriers to second-life EV battery adoption in Estonia and the Baltic region. Using interviews and stakeholder workshops, it finds that governance challenges—ambiguous classification, unclear liability, weak safety supervision—hinder deployment more than technology. It argues that EU-level regulation alone is insufficient; targeted national measures are needed.

日本のGX文脈において
本論文は、エストニアの事例から、日本におけるEVバッテリーのリユース推進においても、技術面よりガバナンス面（分類・責任・安全規制）の整備が重要であることを示唆。日本のGX政策や資源循環戦略に示唆を与える。
In the global GX context
This paper contributes to the global debate on battery circularity by emphasizing that national governance frameworks are essential for second-life battery markets, beyond EU-level regulation. It provides empirical evidence from small markets often overlooked.

📄 Abstract（原文）
The rapid expansion of electric vehicles (EVs) in Europe is generating growing volumes of batteries reaching the end of their automotive life. Repurposing these batteries for stationary energy storage is promoted as a key strategy for advancing battery circularity and supporting renewable energy integration. Yet the deployment of second-life EV batteries remains limited and uneven, particularly in small markets with low EV penetration. This paper examines the policy and institutional barriers shaping second-life battery adoption in the Baltic region, with a primary focus on Estonia. Drawing on interviews with industry actors in Norway and Latvia, expert discussions, and a national stakeholder workshop involving safety authorities and regulators, the study shows that limited uptake is not driven by technological constraints or lack of interest, but by governance-related challenges. These include ambiguous battery classification, unclear liability and extended producer responsibility, weak safety supervision, lack of testing and certification capacity, and fire safety concerns that deter insurers. Comparative insights from Nordic and Baltic cases indicate that EU-level regulation alone is insufficient to enable second-life markets. Instead, targeted national measures addressing safety governance, liability, and institutional capacity are required. The findings highlight the importance of meso-level policy implementation for advancing battery circularity in emerging energy markets.
