The profound environmental impact of batteries can be observed in different applications such as the adoption of batteries in electric vehicles, marine and aviation industries and heating and cooling applications.
Although the life-cycle impacts of LIBs have been analyzed worldwide, the production phase has not been separately studied yet, especially in China. Therefore, this research focuses on the impacts of battery production and builds an energy–environment–economy (3E) evaluation system.
In Lai et al. (X. Lai et al., 2022) LCA study of LIBs for electric vehicles, results show that great attention need to focus on methods such as battery materials recycling and remanufacturing as ways to reduce the great contribution of detrimental environmental impacts associated with battery production.
The energy consumption or environmental impacts of battery production per GWh is represented by EE, which can be calculated by Equation (1). The data of annual electricity consumption or pollutant emissions are from actual production situations and are represented by Ee. O is used to represent the annual output, whose unit is GWh.
Integrating principles such as second life, reconditioning, and comprehensive recycling strategies into battery design can significantly reduce the environmental impact of EVs over their entire lifecycle.
For battery production factories, it is very important to reduce the battery production costs and enhance its environmental quality by implementing cleaner production. In the research on relationship of 3E systems, case 1 performs better in pollutant emissions and costs based on unit electricity consumption.
