Nonetheless, life cycle assessment (LCA) is a powerful tool to inform the development of better-performing batteries with reduced environmental burden. This review explores common practices in lithium-ion battery LCAs and makes recommendations for how future studies can be more interpretable, representative, and impactful.
Although lithium-ion batteries do not affect the environment when they are in use, they do require electricity to charge. The world is majorly dependent on coal-based sources to generate electricity, which can raise the bar for environmental footprint.
Rechargeable batteries are necessary for the decarbonization of the energy systems, but life-cycle environmental impact assessments have not achieved consensus on the environmental impacts of producing these batteries.
The results show that in all selected categories, the secondary use of EV LIBs has less environmental impact than the use of lead-acid batteries. EVs are being called "zero-emission" vehicles, but there is a new argument for that common belief.
Regarding energy storage, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are one of the prominent sources of comprehensive applications and play an ideal role in diminishing fossil fuel-based pollution. The rapid development of LIBs in electrical and electronic devices requires a lot of metal assets, particularly lithium and cobalt (Salakjani et al. 2019).
In the context of batteries, LCA results can be used to inform battery research and development (R&D) efforts aimed at reducing adverse environmental impacts, [28 – 30] compare competing battery technology options for a particular use case, [31 – 39] or estimate the environmental implications of large-scale adoption in grid or vehicle applications.
