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 battery and LFP provide the worst and best environmental performance, respectively. The use phase of production is most detrimental. Low recycling rates leads to negative environmental impacts. Anthropogenic activities in the plant negatively affects the soil, groundwater, food crops, living organisms and health of workers.
The high recycling rates associated with lead-acid batteries dramatically reduce any environmental impacts. In terms of global warming potential, the environmental advantage of improved and advanced technology lead-based batteries during the use phase far outweighs the impacts of their production.
Increasing renewable mix decreases environmental impact of use phase in battery production. NCA battery more environmentally friendly than lead acid batteries. Amongst the batteries, vanadium redox flow batteries have highest carbon emissions per MWh.
The sensitivity analysis shows that the use-phase environmental impact decreases with an increase in renewable energy contribution in the use phase. The lithium-ion batteries have fewer environmental impacts than lead-acid batteries for the observed environmental impact categories.
