AI Customer ServiceAkasapu and Hehenberger, (2023) found similar conclusion that Global Warming Potential (GWP) and Abiotic Depletion Potential (ADP) are critical factor for environmental impacts . The current findings also reveal that climate change (fossil) contribute the major environmental impacts during LCA of lithium ion batteries.
Therefore, a strong interest is triggered in the environmental consequences associated with the increasing existence of Lithium-ion battery (LIB) production and applications in mobile and stationary energy storage system.
In comparison to the baseline scenario, a 67% increase in Li-S battery specific energy would result in a 54% reduction in energy use, potentially making it the greatest alternative for reducing ecological impact (Arvidsson et al., 2018).
Strong growth in lithium-ion battery (LIB) demand requires a robust understanding of both costs and environmental impacts across the value-chain. Recent announcements of LIB manufacturers to venture into cathode active material (CAM) synthesis and recycling expands the process segments under their influence.
Additionally, in case of Li-air batteries, Zackrisson et al. conducted life-cycle analysis from cradle-to-grave and found that development of Li−air batteries is accountable for the greatest use phase environmental impact (Zackrisson et al., 2016).
Lastly, nickel, cobalt, and lithium use contribute considerably to resource impacts. From a long-term perspective, copper becomes important from a resource scarcity perspective. Upscaling LIB production shifts environmental burdens to upstream material extraction and production, irrespective of the carbon intensity of the energy source.
