Undeniably, securing sustainability in batteries should not focus only on the end of life (EoL) but throughout the life cycle of the batteries. Additionally, the responsibility of establishing circularity in batteries should not depend solely on industries and producers but should involve consumers as well.
Lithium-ion batteries offer a contemporary solution to curb greenhouse gas emissions and combat the climate crisis driven by gasoline usage. Consequently, rigorous research is currently underway to improve the performance and sustainability of current lithium-ion batteries or to develop newer battery chemistry.
This significant impact is primarily attributed to the electrical energy consumption during the battery usage stage. Consequently, the overall environmental impact of battery packs is largely dependent on the energy sources of electricity generation. 3.4. Impact of electric energy source on the carbon footprint and CED of batteries
Consequently, increasing the share of clean energy sources in the power grid is a critical factor for enhancing the environmental and energy sustainability of EVs. In the battery recycling stage, the environmental benefits of recycling LFP batteries are significantly lower than those of NCM batteries.
However, as an industrial product, batteries follow a linear route of waste-intensive production, use, and disposal; therefore, greater circularity would elevate them as sustainable energizers.
To create a well-functioning value chain, companies should attempt to avoid any shortcomings in these areas. For sustainability, the battery industry can only achieve true sustainability if it does not overshoot any of the nine planetary boundaries that the Stockholm Resilience Center defined and quantified.
