The new Regulation on batteries establish sustainability and safety requirements that batteries should comply with before being placed on the market. These rules are applicable to all batteries entering the EU market, independently of their origin.
As EVs and batteries play a vital role in meeting the clean energy goals, rapidly evolving regulatory frameworks are setting obligations for all battery industry participants. This article summarises some of the key laws focused on lithium batteries components in the US, Europe, China, Japan and South Korea.
By 2030, the recovery levels should reach 95 % for cobalt, copper, lead and nickel, and 70 % for lithium; requirements relating to the operations of repurposing and remanufacturing for a second life of industrial and EV batteries; labelling and information requirements.
These include performance and durability requirements for industrial batteries, electric vehicle (EV) batteries, and light means of transport (LMT) batteries; safety standards for stationary battery energy storage systems (SBESS); and information requirements on SOH and expected lifetime.
Many new regulations focused on the EV market and lithium-ion batteries are coming into force. EV supply chain participants will be obliged to track and trace batteries and ensure they recycle and reuse critical materials, while at the same time keeping them within the country. Regulations and their requirements differ by region.
Under the new rules, minimum levels of recovered cobalt (16%), lead (85%), lithium (6%) and nickel (6%) from manufacturing and consumer waste must be reused in new batteries. The new rules foresee that batteries will need to be easier to remove and replace, while consumers are better informed.
