The pursuit of low-carbon transport has significantly increased demand for lithium-ion batteries. However, the rapid increase in battery manufacturing, without adequate consideration carbon emissions associated with their production and material demands, poses threat shifting bulk upstream. In this article, a life cycle assessment (LCA) model is developed to account cradle-to-gate footprint batteries across 26 Chinese provinces, 20 North American locations 19 countries Europe Asia. Analysis...

Ramping up automotive lithium-ion battery (LIB) production volumes creates an imperative need for the establishment of end-of-life treatment chains spent traction packs. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is essential tool in evaluating environmental performance such and options. This work synthesises publicly-available data to expand upon previously reported LCA studies LIB recycling holistically model packs with lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide positive electrodes. The study provides...

The aquaculture sector is the fastest growing food production industry, with sea bass and bream consisting important exporting goods in Mediterranean region. This work presents results of a life cycle assessment bream, based on primary data collected from Greek producer. system boundary included fish feed rearing operation, as well packaging delivery processes, which were neglected preceding literature studies. inventory developed addressed previous gaps species. Comparison to studies...

Abstract Electric vehicles using lithium-ion batteries are currently the most promising technology to decarbonise transport sector from fossil-fuels. It is thus imperative reduce battery life cycle costs and greenhouse gas emissions make this transition both economically environmentally beneficial. In study, it shown that lifetime extension through effective thermal management significantly decreases cost carbon footprint. The simulated for each system implemented in techno-economic...

The changes in the concentration and composition of biomass-burning organic aerosol (OA) downwind a major wildfire are simulated using one-dimensional Lagrangian chemical transport model PMCAMx-Trj. A base case scenario is developed based on realistic fire-plume conditions series sensitivity tests performed to quantify effects different processes. Temperature, oxidant dilution rate all affect evolution biomass burning OA after its emission. most important process though multi-stage oxidation...

The rapid transition to clean energy and electric mobility has led an unprecedented demand for Li-ion batteries (LIBs), necessitating a comprehensive decarbonisation of their entire value chain meet climate goals [1]. This talk takes holistic view at the LIB production recycling system explore cradle-to-cradle strategies. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) framework is used quantify comparative importance developments in battery manufacturing, raw material sourcing reducing greenhouse-gas emissions...

Abstract The pursuit of low-carbon transport has significantly increased demand for lithium-ion batteries. However, the rapid increase in battery manufacturing, without adequate consideration carbon emissions associated with their production and material demands, poses threat shifting bulk upstream. In this article, a life cycle assessment (LCA)-inspired model is developed to account energy contributions cradle-to-gate footprint batteries across world’s dominant manufacturing locations....

The electrification of transport systems is essential for improved city air quality and reduced noise, may also contribute to enhanced energy security decreased greenhouse gas emissions. key enabler the large-scale uptake electric vehicles (EVs) are lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), offering higher mass specific energies, volumetric densities, potential differences efficiencies. Most LIBs used in automotive applications combine nickel-cobalt-manganese (NCM) oxide cathodes with graphite (Gr)...
