Global warming potential of lithium-ion battery cell production: Determining influential primary and secondary raw material supply routes KU Leuven
This study assesses the global warming potential (GWP) impacts of lithium-ion battery (LIB) recycling and subsequent cell production from primary and secondary raw materials. Furthermore, the study proposes multiple allocation strategies for the GWP impacts of LIB recycling, which range from 18 to 22 kg CO2 equivalent per kilowatt-hour NMC111 and NMC811 battery packs to determine the environmental burdens of secondary raw materials. The results ...
