Abstract On the basis of a review existing life cycle assessment studies on lithium‐ion battery recycling, we parametrize process models state‐of‐the‐art pyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical enabling their application to different cell chemistries, including beyond‐lithium batteries such as sodium‐ion batteries. These processes are used benchmark for evaluating an advanced recycling process, which is modeled primary data obtained from company, quantifying potential reduction...
Batteries are one of the key technologies for flexible energy systems in future. In particular, vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFB) well suited to provide modular and scalable storage due favorable characteristics such as long cycle life, easy scale-up, good recyclability. However, there is a lack detailed original studies on potential environmental impacts their production operation. The present study fills this gap by providing comprehensive life assessment representative VRFB....
Abstract Sodium‐ion batteries (SIB) are considered as a promising alternative to overcome existing sustainability challenges related Lithium‐ion (LIB), such the use of critical and expensive materials with high environmental impacts. In contrast established LIBs, SIBs an emerging technology in early stage development where challenge is identify most sustainable cathode active (CAM) for further research potential commercialization. Thus, comprehensive flexible CAM screening method developed,...
Prospective Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) are crucial for analyzing and optimizing emerging technologies' conceivable environmental performance. However, technologies often subject to high uncertainties still at laboratory or pilot scale, necessitating the scale-up of LCA relevant data, such as energy material flows, an industrial level. Hence, robust adequate scaling methods required integrated part any sustainability-oriented prospective assessment. This work presents a systematic review...
Abstract Batteries are considered as one of the key flexibility options for future energy storage systems. However, their production is cost‐ and greenhouse‐gas intensive efforts made to decrease price carbon footprint. We combine life‐cycle assessment, Monte‐Carlo simulation, size optimization determine costs emissions different battery technologies in stationary applications, which then compared by calculating a single score. Cycle life determined factor cost CO 2 emissions. This not only...
Patent documents provide knowledge about which countries are investing in certain technologies and make it possible to identify potential innovation trends. The aim of this article is analyze trends patenting that might result innovations for three energy technologies: thermochemical conversion biomass (Bioenergy), lithium-ion battery storage, hydrogen production by alkaline water electrolysis. Based on different patent indicators, the most active compared insights into global market...
Assessing different sodium-ion against current lithium-ion battery cells shows large difference between cell chemistries and a good environmental performance for manganese Prussian blue-based cathodes under full life cycle perspective.
Abstract Background The widespread use of sustainable energy technologies is a key element in the transformation system from fossil-based to zero-carbon. In line with this, technology acceptance great importance as resistance public can slow down or hinder construction projects. current study assesses social three relevant for German transition: stationary battery storage, biofuel production plants and hydrogen fuel station. Methods An online survey was conducted examine public’s general...
Battery storage systems have become an important pillar in the transformation of energy and transportation sector over last decades. Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are dominating technology this process making them a constant subject analysis regarding their sustainability. To assess environmental performance, several Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) LIBs been performed years. Yet, amount available primary data on production remains low, leading to recurrent reliance few disclosed datasets, mostly...
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) currently have the dominant market share in rechargeable batteries, a key technology reducing greenhouse gas emissions. However, concerns regarding environmental impacts of manufacturing and requirements for critical resources result need developing alternative battery technologies as well improving LIBs. This study assessed supply risks associated with three post-LIBs, namely two sodium-ion (NMMT NTO) one potassium-ion (KFSF), LIBs (NMC, LFP, LTO) using life...
While the market for battery home storage systems (HSS) is growing rapidly, there are still few well-modelled life cycle assessment (LCA) studies available quantifying their potential environmental benefits and impacts. Existing mainly rely on data electric vehicles often lack a thorough modelling approach, especially regarding peripheral components. This paper presents full cradle to grave LCA of Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) HSS based primary obtained by part-to-part dismantling an existing...
As the demand for energy storage is expanding rapidly, concerns have been raised about critical raw materials used in lithium-ion batteries. Post-lithium batteries potential to provide a more sustainable option by taking advantage of that are abundant and unrestricted supply chains. Sodium-ion one type currently most widely discussed candidate light approaching commercialization. The promising anode material commercial sodium-ion can be applied large quantities near future expected hard...
Abstract Background A further increase in renewable energy supply is needed to substitute fossil fuels and combat climate change. Each source respective technologies have specific techno-economic environmental characteristics as well social implications. This paper presents a comprehensive approach for prospective sustainability assessment of developed within the Helmholtz Initiative “Energy System 2050” (ES2050). Methods The “ES2050 approach” comprises environmental, economic, assessment....
Although many patients with chronic viral hepatitis C infection suffer from progressive liver disease, the rate of fibrosis progression is highly variable and some do not show any measurable progression. However, our ability to predict which progress very limited. Since transforming growth factor‐β (TGF‐β) a key mediator fibrogenesis, we assessed predictive role TGF‐β for fibrogenesis in C. We studied 39 whom two biopsies were taken at least 12 months apart, who did receive therapy during...
Abstract Reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the transport sector is one of biggest challenges German energy transition. Furthermore, sustainable development does not stop with reducing GHG emissions. Other environmental, social and economic aspects should be neglected. Thus, here a comprehensive sustainability assessment for passenger vehicles conducted 2020 2050. The discussed options are an internal combustion engine vehicle (ICEV) fuelled synthetic biofuel fossil gasoline, battery...
