BRINGING BATTERIES PRODUCTION TO EUROPE – IN A GREEN AND

This report summarises the results of an analysis of the potential environmental impacts from the refining of battery materials and manufacturing of different battery chemistries in the EU, under consideration of the requirements of the CRMA for domestic production capacities. [...] The aim of the IN THE EU, BEVS WILL CAPTURE project is to analyse the environmental impacts of the entire value chain of battery production for the European market and to identify ways of minimising them. [...] CONCLUSIONS AND DISCUSSION This analysis was conducted to examine the environmental and climate implications of achieving The EU, pushing forward with the implementation of the Green Deal, has proposed and is bringing the benchmarks stipulated by the CRMA and NZIA, specifically of two elements: first the aim to into force an increasing number of legal instruments designed to ensure the sustainabil. [...] A large proportion of carbon emissions and undermining the objective of the Battery Regulation to reduce the GHG the battery value chain activities are located outside of the EU, particularly regarding upstream emissions of batteries. [...] With comparatively ambitious environmental and climate policies in place, the EU has strong Proportionally to the growth of the battery market, however, both the demand for cumulative foundations to develop a best-in-class battery value chain, compatible with the Paris Agreement transition materials and GHG emissions associated with battery production will increase in the and with the Global Biodi.
