The complete lifecycle impacts of battery systems may be difficult to account for. While the majority of LCSA frameworks take into consideration the economic and environmental costs associated with the production, use, and disposal of batteries, they may not account for the full social impacts of battery systems.
With this, the demand for material resources and their consumption by the car manufacturing industries are on the rise. However, mining, processing, production, use-phase, and battery recycling are energy-intensive processes and there arises a need to systematically quantify and evaluate each phase of battery production [1, 2].
In essence, an in-depth assessment of the sustainability of battery life cycles serves as an essential compass that directs us toward a cleaner and more sustainable energy landscape.
Finally, we mention that the sustainability of battery production is becoming an increasingly important manufacturing performance metric. For instance, an estimated 30–65 kWh are consumed in the factory for every kWh of cells produced 45, 87.
Comprehensive data of battery manufacture, usage, and disposal, as well as the social and environmental effects of the battery supply chain, is necessary to evaluate the sustainability of battery systems. However, this information is frequently confidential, and manufacturers might not provide it for competitive reasons.
