On 28 July 2023, the European Commission published the European Battery Regulation (2023/1542), which entered into force on 18 February 2024. This represents a strategic alignment with environmental goals and key initiatives, such as the European Green Deal and the Circular Economy Action Plan.
The EU Battery Regulation represents a significant step in the European Union''s ongoing efforts to foster a sustainable, circular economy. As batteries play a crucial role in energy storage, electric vehicles, and various
The new Regulation on batteries establish sustainability and safety requirements that batteries should comply with before being placed on the market. These rules are applicable to all batteries entering the EU market, independently of their origin. For batteries manufactured outside the EU, it
Latest; More regulation coming to battery energy storage. 10 January 2024. DEFRA is planning to bring battery energy storage systems (BESS) into the environmental permitting regime. However, some operators may be unaware that they may be subject to it already, putting themselves in potential legal jeopardy. For those unaware of the system, the

As batteries become a strategic market, the European Parliament has adopted new rules to tackle related environmental, ethical and social issues. At least 30 million zero-emission electric vehicles are forecast to be on EU roads by 2030.
Batteries are a crucial element in the EU''s transition to a climate-neutral economy. 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.
The European Parliament and the Council adopted the new Batteries Regulation on 12 July 2023. This will minimise the environmental impact of this exponential growth in light of new socioeconomic conditions, technological developments, markets, and battery usages. A key achievement under the European Green Deal, the new law brings forward the circular
The first set of regulation requirements under the EU Battery Regulation 2023/1542 will come into effect on 18 August 2024.

The new Batteries Regulation will ensure that, in the future, batteries have a low carbon footprint, use minimal harmful substances, need less raw materials from non-EU countries, and are collected, reused and recycled to a high degree in Europe.
Scope The regulation applies to all batteries, including all: batteries for light means of transport (LMT) such as electric bikes, e-mopeds and e-scooters. Targets It sets out rules covering the entire life cycle of batteries.
The EU could account for 17% of that demand. The European Parliament and the Council adopted the new Batteries Regulation on 12 July 2023. This will minimise the environmental impact of this exponential growth in light of new socioeconomic conditions, technological developments, markets, and battery usages.
