Battery life cycle analysis
Battery life cycle analysis evaluates the environmental and economic impacts of a battery throughout its entire lifespan—from raw material extraction, manufacturing, usage, to eventual disposal or recycling. It helps identify the most sustainable practices and improvements by examining energy consumption, resource use, emissions, and waste at each stage. This comprehensive approach ensures that the benefits of batteries, such as enabling renewable energy adoption and reducing emissions, are balanced against their environmental footprint, guiding companies and policymakers toward more responsible and eco-friendly energy storage solutions.
