Study Finds Demand-Side Battery Measures Could Cut Emissions More Than Cleaner Production Alone
A University of Melbourne-led study in One Earth finds that reducing battery demand, through longer EV battery life, smaller packs, ride-sharing and second-life use, could avoid 6 billion to 7.2 billion tons of CO2 from 2024 to 2050. That beats the savings from cleaner production, which could cut per-battery emissions 34% by 2050. Combined, the two could roughly halve cumulative supply-chain emissions.
The emissions generated by the lithium-ion battery supply chain could be reduced by approximately 34% by 2050, according to a new study carried out by researchers at the University of Melbourne. According to the study, this could be achieved by combining a cleaner production with strategies that reduce the number of batteries it has [...]
According to a global model calculation, the annual output of their supply chains could rise to more than one billion tonnes of CO2 equivalent by 2050. Smaller and longer-term batteries, together with more climate-friendly production, could roughly halve the cumulative emissions in the investigated scenario. Melbourne (Australia). Electric vehicles hit the [...] The article Battery supply chains could increase their CO2 emissions tenfold by 2050…
Environmentally friendly methods applied to the production and reuse of lithium-ion batteries could reduce the carbon footprint per unit by 34 percent by 2050. Limiting battery demand could prevent the emission of nearly 7.2 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide.
New research shows that carbon emissions can be reduced by 34% by 2050 through clean production and long-lasting battery strategies.
