Life cycle assessment (LCA) literature evaluating environmental burdens from lithium-ion battery (LIB) production facilities lacks an understanding of how environmental burdens have changed over time due to a transition to large-scale production.
Life cycle assessment (LCA) of lithium-oxygen Li−O 2 battery showed that the system had a lower environmental impact compared to the conventional NMC-G battery, with a 9.5 % decrease in GHG emissions to 149 g CO 2 eq km −1 .
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.
Hence, considering the growing adoption of ESTs, the environmental and resource impacts of current and future lithium supplies merit further consideration. Life cycle assessment (LCA) can be applied for analyzing environmental impacts of products or services (Hellweg and Milà i Canals, 2014).
Life cycle inventories of the commonly used materials for lithium-ion batteries in China J. Clean. Prod., 227 ( 2019), pp. 960 - 971 Life cycle assessment studies of large-scale lithium-ion battery (LIB) production reveal a shift-of-burden to the upstream phase of cell production.
Akasapu 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.
