The group behind a European battery passport project laid out on Monday how companies must prepare to meet increasingly stringent regulations on disclosing the origin of batteries as well as their social and environmental footprints.
From 2024, manufacturers in Europe must disclose the carbon footprint of their batteries and from 2027 comply with a carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions limit, regulated by the European Union (EU) with independent auditors checking compliance.
The German-funded consortium developing and testing ways to trace an individual battery’s social and environmental characteristics highlighted in a summary seen by Reuters what information companies must make public.
