From 2024, manufacturers in Europe must disclose the carbon footprint of their batteries and from 2027 comply with a carbon dioxide emissions limit
The group behind a European battery passport project laid out on Monday how companies must prepare to meet increasingly stringent regulations on disclosing the origin of batteries as well as their social and environmental footprints.
The German-funded consortium developing and testing ways to trace an individual battery’s social and environmental characteristics highlighted in a summary seen by Reuters what information companies must make public. The guidance by the 11-member consortium, including BMW, Audi, Umicore and BASF, is the first attempt to interpret what the new demands will mean for electric car makers, industrial battery producers and light transport battery makers.
Still up for debate is the methodology for accurately calculating the carbon footprint and recycled content, and who will have access to what depth of data, consortium representatives told Reuters.
