For instance, the goal may be to evaluate the environmental, social, and economic impacts of the batteries and identify opportunities for improvement. Alternatively, the goal may include comparing the sustainability performance of various Li-based battery types or rating the sustainability of the entire battery supply chain.
For reducing combined environmental impacts, low scrap rates and recycling are vital. Providing a balanced economic and environmental look for the battery industry will, as for other industries, become more crucial as legislation and society demand measures to make the global economy more sustainable.
In addition, the electrical structure of the operating area is an important factor for the potential environmental impact of the battery pack. In terms of power structure, coal power in China currently has significant carbon footprint, ecological footprint, acidification potential and eutrophication potential.
By providing a nuanced understanding of the environmental, economic, and social dimensions of lithium-based batteries, the framework guides policymakers, manufacturers, and consumers toward more informed and sustainable choices in battery production, utilization, and end-of-life management.
Comprehensive data of battery manufacture, usage, and disposal, as well as the social and environmental effects of the battery supply chain, is necessary to evaluate the sustainability of battery systems. However, this information is frequently confidential, and manufacturers might not provide it for competitive reasons.
The results show that in all selected categories, the secondary use of EV LIBs has less environmental impact than the use of lead-acid batteries. EVs are being called "zero-emission" vehicles, but there is a new argument for that common belief.
