You have full access to this open access article In recent years, improvements in energy storage technology, cost reduction, and the increasing imbalance between power grid supply and demand, along with new incentive policies, have highlighted the benefits of battery energy storage systems.
It is also possible to perform a sustainability analysis that integrates economic, environmental, social, and technological criteria based on the collected inventory of typical stationary batteries. In addition, the sustainability assessment of the secondary use of retired batteries would promote cascade utilization of recovered materials.
Hiremath et al. (2015) performed a comparative LCA of lithium-ion batteries, in which six application scenarios were examined, each with a different specific power and energy capacity. All environmental burdens could be significantly decreased by optimizing the round-trip efficiencies of lithium-ion batteries (Quan et al., 2022).
Key factors are influencing how competitive low-carbon batteries can include production location and target market. In some advantageous cases, it might be possible to decarbonize up to 80 percent at a minimum additional cost to the end customer.
Recycling. Recycling is not only a long-term remedy for the likely future shortage of raw battery materials such as lithium and nickel but also a fundamental lever to decrease battery emissions and reduce the dependency of EU and US markets on carbon-intensive mining regions.
