The standards implement Section 111 of the Clean Air Act, and are based on the Administrator's determination that lead-acid battery manufacturing facilities contribute significantly to air pollution, which may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare.
The intended effect of this regulation is to require new, modified, and reconstructed lead-acid battery manufacturing facilities to control lead emissions within the specified limits, which can be achieved through the use of the best demonstrated system of continuous emission reduction.
However, the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) has recommended further scrutiny of substances used in lead-acid batteries. While lead is currently exempt from REACH restrictions, these recommendations indicate potential future bans on certain chemicals integral to lead-acid battery production.
The outlook for lead-acid batteries remains nuanced. The battery industry has precedents for securing exemptions under specific conditions. For instance, nickel-cadmium batteries, despite being restricted under REACH, have been granted temporary exemptions for particular applications where no feasible alternatives exist.
According to some forecasts, at global and EU level, lead-acid technologies will still prevail in 2025 in terms of volume, but the lithium-ion market will become greater in terms of value from 2018 onwards. Between 2018 and 2030, global lead-acid battery demand may grow by a factor of around 1.1.
Should these recommendations be adopted by EU Member States, the industry could face a timeline of approximately 45 months to phase out lead-acid batteries, including an 18-month sunset period following a formal 27-month compliance window. Future Outlook and Potential Exemptions The outlook for lead-acid batteries remains nuanced.
