The lead battery LCA assesses not only the production and end of life but also the use phase of these products in vehicles. The study demonstrates that the technological capabilities of innovative advanced lead batteries used in start-stop vehicles significantly offset the environmental impact of their production.
Lead-based batteries LCA Lead production (from ores or recycled scrap) is the dominant contributor to environmental impacts associated with the production of lead-based batteries. The high recycling rates associated with lead-acid batteries dramatically reduce any environmental impacts.
For all battery technologies, the contribution of lead production to the impact categories under consideration was in the range of 40 to 80 % of total cradle-to-gate impact, making it the most dominant contributor in the production phase (system A) of the life cycle of lead-based batteries.
Lead-acid batteries are the most widely used type of secondary batteries in the world. Every step in the life cycle of lead-acid batteries may have negative impact on the environment, and the assessment of the impact on the environment from production to disposal can provide scientific support for the formulation of effective management policies.
Similarly, the carbon emission was mainly attributed to cathode production, which contributed 61.5 % to the total carbon emission, followed by copper foil production (23.6) and anode production (12.9 %). This is undoubtedly a significant concern in EVs battery's environmental impact assessment.
Most of the environmental lifecycle impacts of lead sheet result from lead production. High recycling rate of lead sheet reduce its environmental impacts. The durability and long service life of lead sheet adds to its life cycle credentials.
