In 2023, a medium-sized battery electric car was responsible for emitting over 20 t CO 2-eq 2 over its lifecycle (Figure 1B).However, it is crucial to note that if this well-known battery electric car had been a conventional thermal vehicle, its total emissions would have doubled. 6 Therefore, in 2023, the lifecycle emissions of medium-sized battery EVs were more than 40% lower than
Sodium-ion batteries are an emerging battery technology with promising cost, safety, sustainability and performance advantages over current commercialised lithium-ion batteries. Key advantages include the use of widely available and inexpensive raw materials and a rapidly scalable technology based around existing lithium-ion production methods. These properties

Industry best practices and standards have been established to mitigate the risks associated with hydrogen generation in battery systems. The IEEE 1635/ASHRAE 21 standard provides guidelines for managing hydrogen evolution based on battery type and outlines the potential heat and off-gassing varieties.
IEA analysis has repeatedly shown that a broad portfolio of clean energy technologies will be needed to decarbonise all parts of the economy. Batteries and hydrogen-producing electrolysers stand out as two important technologies thanks to their ability to convert electricity into chemical energy and vice versa.
Batteries require lower maintenance, are easy to operate, and possess higher energy capacity, while hydrogen storage systems have better gravimetric and volumetric densities. However, hydrogen storage systems
Starting from 2025, the Batteries Regulation will gradually introduce declaration requirements, performance classes and maximum limits on the carbon footprint of electric vehicles, light means of transport (such as e-bikes and scooters) and

Batteries require lower maintenance, are easy to operate, and possess higher energy capacity, while hydrogen storage systems have better gravimetric and volumetric densities. However, hydrogen storage systems require either
growth has been seen in Li-ion batteries. Figure 1 illustrates the increasing share of Li-ion technology in large-scale battery storage deployment, as opposed to other battery technologies, and the annual capacity additions for stationary battery storage. In 2017, Li-ion accounted for nearly 90% of large-scale battery storage additions (IEA, 2018).
On 10 December 2020, the European Commission presented a proposal designed to modernise the EU''s regulatory framework for batteries in order to secure the sustainability and
Researchers in Australia have compared the technical and financial performances of a hydrogen battery storage system and a lithium-ion battery when coupled with rooftop PV. They evaluated two

Category Rules (PEFCR) for batteries2 should be updated to include upstream emissions (related to material extraction and refining) and must incentivise the use of renewable energy across the battery life cycle (extraction, production, use, and recycling). A balance of interests should also be ensured by including civil society in the update of
The market share of electric vehicles (EVs) increases rapidly in recent years. However, to compete with internal combustion engine vehicles, some barriers in EVs, particularly battery technology, still need to be overcome. In this article, we briefly review the main requirements and challenges of implementing batteries in EVs, which sheds some lights on
On 10 December 2020, the European Commission presented a proposal designed to modernise the EU''s regulatory framework for batteries in order to secure the sustainability and competitiveness of battery value chains.
Article 10 of the regulation mandates that from 18 August 2024, rechargeable industrial batteries with a capacity exceeding 2 kWh, LMT batteries, and EV batteries must be accompanied by detailed technical documentation.
Hydrogen fuel cells vs. lithium-ion batteries: two exceptional technologies powering electric vehicles (EVs). Electric vehicles, EVs, are seen as the future of mobility. In 2022, they account for 6% of all vehicle sales in the US, with a target of 50% by 2030. Some countries go even further. In Europe, the sale of new petrol cars will be banned starting in
Decree No. 2019-1096 of October 28, 2019, relating to Lithium-ion batteries, which indicates that a charging room is required when the charging power exceeds 600kW of DC power. In conclusion, in order to know if the
The design methods of Li-ion batteries have been changing for twenty years. Modularity is used to satisfy additional technical requirements from assembly to crashworthiness. In a different paper, Arora et al. proposed a Robust Design Methodology to design battery packs for electric vehicles considering customer''s requirements, cost, and performance [12]. They
Starting from 2025, the Batteries Regulation will gradually introduce declaration requirements, performance classes and maximum limits on the carbon footprint of electric vehicles, light means of transport (such as e-bikes and scooters) and rechargeable industrial batteries.
Best practice standards such as IEEE documents and fire code state that you must deal with hydrogen in one of two ways: 1) Prove the hydrogen evolution of the battery (using IEEE 1635 / ASHRE 21), or 2) have continuous ventilation in the battery room. Vented Lead Acid Batteries (VLA) are always venting hydrogen through the flame arrester at the top of the battery and
Performance and Durability Requirements (Article 10) Article 10 of the regulation mandates that from 18 August 2024, rechargeable industrial batteries with a capacity exceeding 2 kWh, LMT batteries, and EV batteries must be accompanied by detailed technical documentation.
These include performance and durability requirements for industrial batteries, electric vehicle (EV) batteries, and light means of transport (LMT) batteries; safety standards for stationary battery energy storage systems (SBESS); and information requirements on SOH and expected lifetime.
Amongst others: Starting from 2025, the Batteries Regulation will gradually introduce declaration requirements, performance classes and maximum limits on the carbon footprint of electric vehicles, light means of transport (such as e-bikes and scooters) and rechargeable industrial batteries.
Labelling requirements will apply from 2026 and the QR code from 2027. The regulation amends Directive 2008/98/EC on waste management (see summary) and Regulation (EU) 2019/1020 on market surveillance and compliance of products (see summary). It repeals Directive 2006/66/EC on the disposal of spent batteries (see summary) from 30 June 2027.
By 2030, the recovery levels should reach 95 % for cobalt, copper, lead and nickel, and 70 % for lithium; requirements relating to the operations of repurposing and remanufacturing for a second life of industrial and EV batteries; labelling and information requirements.
The proposal seeks to introduce mandatory requirements on sustainability (such as carbon footprint rules, minimum recycled content, performance and durability criteria), safety and labelling for the marketing and putting into service of batteries, and requirements for end-of-life management.
