Abstract The recovery of spent lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) has critical resource and environmental benefits for the promotion of electric vehicles under carbon neutrality. However, different recovery processes will cause uncertain impacts especially when net-zero-carbon-emissions technologies are included. This paper investigates the pyrometallurgical and
Improper disposal of spent LIBs will not only cause safety problems such as electric shock, explosion, and corrosion hazards but also cause environmental problems such as heavy metal and electrolyte pollution, threatening the ecological environment and human health [4].For example, the spent LIBs contain volatile organic compounds and toxic lithium salt

This study adopts an average MIE for EVs of 0.6 kWh/(100 km·100 kg) to calculate the energy consumption and emissions during the battery use phase on EVs. Based on these assumptions, the energy consumption and environmental impacts of LIBs in the eight typical calculation models during the in-use phase of EVs are compared. Future LCA studies

Performance Indicators (KPIs) and battery usage associated with Lithium-ion Battery Energy Storage Systems (LiBESS) used as Frequency Containment Reserve (FCR). The investigation was based on three of Vattenfall´s LiBESS projects that use the same lithium-ion battery technology but vary in system rating and configuration. It was found that two
Lithium metal batteries (LMBs) exhibit lower climate impact, lower abiotic depletion potential, and lower toxicity compared to similarly designed LIBs (NMC- and LFP-based). This is because the higher energy density in LMBs results in lower battery weight and electricity consumption in vehicles [58].
S8 shows the average energy consumption of 10 battery EVs in five Chinese cities during different months. To illustrate the impact of ambient temperature on energy consumption, this study gathered monthly average temperatures of these cities from July 2021 to June 2022, as depicted in Table S16–S20. As shown in Fig. S9, energy consumption of EVs exhibited a clear

Lithium Batteries Indicator The lithium-ion battery percentage indicator is a feature widely found in electronic devices such as smartphones, laptops, and tablets. It shows the remaining charge of the battery as a percentage, usually displayed in the status bar of the device. The percentage indicator is a useful tool for users to determine how much battery life is left
In the search to reduce the environmental impact caused by greenhouse gas emissions, alternative technologies are needed to replace the use of fossil fuels for energy production and transportation (Thompson et al., 2020).One of the preferred technologies is lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), which enable the transition to cleaner energy production due to

This report presents the findings from the Swedish Energy Agency and the Swedish Transport Administration commissioned study on the Life Cycle energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions from lithium-ion batteries. It does not include the use phase of the batteries.
Based on the results from the reviewed studies, the average values for global warming potential and cumulative energy demand from lithium-ion battery production were found to be 187.26 kgCO 2 e/kWh or 19.78 kgCO 2 e/kg, and 42.49 kWh/kg, respectively. This provides evidence to expose the fact that from a life cycle perspective electric vehicles

The report is largely structured based on a number of questions. The questions are divided in two parts, one focusing on short-term questions and the second on more long-term questions. To sum up the results of this review of life cycle assessments of lithium-ion batteries we used the questions as base.
The future lithium-ion battery technologies that are most discussed at the moment, see section 3.3, are interesting from an environmental perspective as they do not contain a metal cathode. Instead of cobalt, nickel, manganese and aluminium the cells are based on lithium metal and sulfur or air.
By providing a nuanced understanding of the environmental, economic, and social dimensions of lithium-based batteries, the framework guides policymakers, manufacturers, and consumers toward more informed and sustainable choices in battery production, utilization, and end-of-life management.
There is great potential to influence the future impact by legislative actions, especially in the area of recycling. Today there is no economic incentive for recycling of lithium-ion batteries, but by placing the correct requirements on the end of life handling we can create this incentive.
The meta-analysis indicated that the energy consumption in LIB cell production varied widely between 350 and 650 MJ/kWh, as is largely caused by battery production. They state that “mining and refining seem to contribute a relatively small amount to the current life cycle of the battery” (Romare & Dahllöf, 2017).
Both of these issues can be resolved in future studies by increasing the amount of available primary LCI data, especially for the important manufacturing stage, and at the same time clearly reporting this new data. This requires efforts to partner the most large scale producers of batteries with life cycle assessment projects.
