Zhao Liu (ZL): Battery manufacturers are facing several challenges including cost, material shortages and safety issues as they work to develop and improve battery technology. While the cost of batteries has decreased over the years, cost still prohibits the widespread adoption of batteries.
However, the daily operation of batteries also contributes to such emission, which is largely disregarded by both the vendor as well as the public. Besides, recycling and recovering the degraded batteries have proved to be difficult, mostly due to logistical issues, lack of supporting policies, and low ROI.
Sustainable supply of battery minerals and metals for electric vehicles. Clean energy integration into the whole value chain of electric vehicle batteries. Environmental, social, and governance risks encumber the mining industry. The hindrances to creating closed-loop systems for batteries.
The global commitment to decarbonizing the transport sector has resulted in an unabated growth in the markets for electric vehicles and their batteries. Consequently, the demand for battery raw materials is continuously growing.
The 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.
Most efforts had been placed on reducing the GHG emissions as well as environmental impacts of battery manufacturing through recycling disposed of devices. However, the daily operation of batteries also contributes to such emission, which is largely disregarded by both the vendor as well as the public.
