AI Customer ServiceThe manufacturing process begins with building the chassis using a combination of aluminium and steel; emissions from smelting these remain the same in both ICE and EV. However, the environmental impact of battery production begins to change when we consider the manufacturing process of the battery in the latter type.
However, the environmental impact of EV batteries is a very complex issue, not only affected by material exploitation and battery manufacturing and production methods, but also by battery transportation, usage, recycling, or disposal methods (Wang et al., 2020, Zhiyong et al., 2020, ISO, 2006a).
However, as we’ve examined, the battery-making process isn’t free of environmental effects. In this light, this calls for sector-wide improvements to achieve environmentally friendly battery production as much as possible. There’s a need to make the processes around battery making and disposal much greener and safer.
Health risks associated with water and metal pollution during battery manufacturing and disposal are also addressed. The presented assessment of the impact spectrum of batteries places green practices at the forefront of solutions that elevate the sustainability of battery production, usages, and disposal. 1. Introduction
The presence of batteries in marine and aviation industries has been highlighted. The risks imposed by batteries on human health and the surrounding environment have been discussed. This work showcases the environmental aspects of batteries, focusing on their positive and negative impacts.
In Lai et al. (X. Lai et al., 2022) LCA study of LIBs for electric vehicles, results show that great attention need to focus on methods such as battery materials recycling and remanufacturing as ways to reduce the great contribution of detrimental environmental impacts associated with battery production.
