Carbon footprint according to EU battery regulation
RISE offers expertise in carbon footprint calculation according to the EU Battery Regulation 2023/1542.
The Battery Regulation requires declaration of carbon footprint
Under the Battery Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2023/1542), there is a requirement that all electric vehicle batteries, rechargeable industrial batteries, and batteries for light transport vehicles placed on the EU market must have a carbon footprint calculated according to the guidelines set by the EU. At RISE, we have many years of expertise in life cycle assessments and carbon footprint calculations for batteries, and we can assist you in calculating the carbon footprint of your battery.
Method
In our calculations, we use the guidelines for calculating the carbon footprint of batteries developed by the European Commission in a delegated act (currently a draft). The calculations cover the life cycle stages of raw materials, manufacturing, distribution, as well as end-of-life management and recycling. During the calculations, we collaborate with the client and preferably also with the battery manufacturer, if they are not the same entity. We will need relevant data such as materials used, product composition, manufacturing processes, and battery performance.
Please note that the final calculation rules have not yet been established, but RISE is monitoring the development.
Delivery
A report that meets the regulation's requirements with a summary of key figures to be used in the carbon footprint declaration.
