Carbon footprint of Japanese and Korean battery companies

Circular economy and zero-carbon strategies between Japan and

In terms of CO 2 emissions, using the most recent data, Japan holds the 5th position with an annual emission of 1.1 gigatons of CO 2, and South Korea the 9th position with 0.61 gigatons (GCA (Global Carbon Atlas), 2021). Both countries launched diverse policy instruments with ambitious goals from mid to long-term to tackle this issue. Both

Costs, carbon footprint, and environmental impacts of lithium

Strong growth in lithium-ion battery (LIB) demand requires a robust understanding of both costs and environmental impacts across the value-chain. Recent announcements of LIB manufacturers to venture into cathode active material (CAM) synthesis and recycling expands the process segments under their influence. However, little research has yet

EV Battery Supply Chain Sustainability – Analysis

This report analyses the emissions related to batteries throughout the supply chain and over the full battery lifetime and highlights priorities for reducing emissions. Life cycle analysis of electric cars shows that they already offer emissions reductions benefits at the global level when compared to internal combustion engine cars. Further increasing the sustainability

Carbon footprint distributions of lithium-ion batteries and their

Combining the emission curves with regionalised battery production announcements, we present carbon footprint distributions (5 th, 50 th, and 95 th percentiles)

Social life cycle assessment of lithium iron phosphate battery

SLCA of LFP battery production does deserve to be emphasized in both material supply concentration and social footprint. The former is not only the basis of social footprint but also the desired topic with a popular practice in research articles recently. Kushnir and Sandén (2012) considered that the lithium batteries production system is more likely to be vulnerable

Reducing the carbon footprint of lithium-ion batteries, what''s

Reducing the carbon footprint of LIB requires more than just low-carbon electricity during production – it involves concerted efforts among all stakeholders along the industry value chain to make significant progress. In this commentary, we emphasize the importance of coordinated actions by these groups and provide an outlook on current and
