Download the report: Lithium-Ion Vehicle Battery Production – status 2019 on Energy Use, CO2 Emissions, Use of Metals, Products Environmental Footprint, and Recycling. IVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute has a wide environmental profile.
The manufacturing process begins with building the chassis using a combination of aluminium and steel; emissions from smelting these remain the same in both ICE and EV. However, the environmental impact of battery production begins to change when we consider the manufacturing process of the battery in the latter type.
Batteries have an environmental impact, and there is much more work to be done to reduce it. Minviro and About:Energy have teamed up to provide new insights into battery sustainability, focusing on the impact of specific cell types to accelerate the achievement of net zero.
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.
The environmental impact of battery emerging contaminants has not yet been thoroughly explored by research. Parallel to the challenging regulatory landscape of battery recycling, the lack of adequate nanomaterial risk assessment has impaired the regulation of their inclusion at a product level.
Li–S battery pack was the cleanest, while LMO/NMC-C had the largest environmental load. The more electric energy consumed by the battery pack in the EVs, the greater the environmental impact caused by the existence of nonclean energy structure in the electric power composition, so the lower the environmental characteristics.
According to the indirect environmental influence of the electric power structure, the environmental characteristic index could be used to analyze the environmental protection degree of battery packs in the vehicle running stage.
