Decisions regarding the deployment of battery technologies are made by a variety of parties in a range of circumstances. For example, battery manufacturers decide what materials to procure from what supplier to produce a battery system. Battery system vendors decide which technologies and system designs to construct and market for that application.
Lawmakers at the state and local levels and regulators such as the US Environmental Protection Agency or the European Commission create mandates and incentives intended to drive the development and adoption of battery energy storage, decisions that directly affect decision-making by the other parties.
The development and use of a robust evaluation framework, including sustainability assessment and rigorous decision-making processes for stakeholders involved battery deployment is critical for pre-emptively minimizing negative environmental and social impacts of new energy technologies.
When batteries are used for grid energy storage, another limitation is a lack of resolution regarding how electricity discharged from the system offsets or avoids the use of other electricity resources on the grid.
As can be seen by the example of the new EU Battery Regulation, policy and regulation is a key for pushing toward more sustainable battery value chains, but requires the corresponding evidences and a well-established methodological framework for setting a level playing field.
Building such a capability is a timely priority, since most of the battery capacity required for the clean energy transition has not yet been produced, meaning that we are at a critical juncture for ensuring that decisions made carry out large-scale battery deployment avoid negative impacts at scale.

These batteries can be optimized and repurposed into a second life with Exro''s Energy Storage System (ESS) that is equipped with our patented Battery Control System™ (BCS). As more electric vehicles reach the end of first life, there is a growing number of batteries that can be utilized for second life energy storage. The Battery Control System™ can lead the rapidly …
The European Union (EU), within its New Green Deal supported by investments of 600 billion Euros, aims at reducing net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030 (compared to 1990) and reaching a net-zero carbon emitting economy in 2050. 6 The estimated total power capacities of the energy storage fleet to achieve these goals are 200 GW by 2030 …
Battery and battery storage technologies have an increasingly important role to play in the energy transition, from fossil fuels to renewables, but significant challenges remain in terms of investment, under-capacity, and the ethics of mining for commodities such as cobalt. We find out how the sector is evolving.
We identify challenges in three key areas that currently limit the ability of decision-makers in the battery value chain – for example, raw material suppliers, battery manufacturers, recycling companies, energy storage owners and operators (such as utilities), regulators, and policymakers – to better predict how their decisions can ...

Parking-for-charging business model is the barrier with the highest risk score. The remarkable growth of electric vehicles (EV) popularity in recent years has significantly pushed the EV charging demand, potentially causing significant pressure on the electricity grid.
Energy Agency put the total amount of global investment in battery storage in 2023 at record $35 billion, a massive 75 per cent increase on the 2022 total of $20 billion. It is now widely …
Using a qualitative case-study approach, we assess the barriers and policy challenges that companies in the EU battery sector face in implementing circularity. The study involves a sample of 20 companies drawn from a combination of purposeful and snowball sampling methods. Empirical data were collected through in-depth interviews.
A specific measure of the new EU Battery Regulation to address prevailing environmental issues is the provision of information on the battery, including on its second-life, in the form of a battery passport by 2026 . However, experts anticipate market entry barriers and expressed concerns about insufficient coordination among relevant stakeholders during the …

However, commercial battery storage systems also work as standalone battery storage systems. You draw energy from the grid when prices are cheaper, such as at certain times on a time-of-use tariff. Then, during more expensive hours, you discharge your battery to power your business. Thus, you avoid more expensive charges.
