Battery systems are increasingly acknowledged as essential elements of contemporary energy infrastructure, facilitating the integration of renewable energy sources and improving grid stability. Battery storage environmental assessments are critical for evaluating how these systems affect the environment throughout their life cycle.
The input of energy and material exhibited low contribution level (<5%) and the recycling of metal and cathode materials reduced the environmental impact of material reinput during battery reproduction, achieving carbon emission reduction successfully. However, the “physical utilization” technology had a negative environmental impact.
According to the indirect environmental influence of the electric power structure, the environmental characteristic index could be used to analyze the environmental protection degree of battery packs in the vehicle running stage.
These investigations assisted in augmenting the environmental performances of the battery storage in many ways. However, so far, little research is conducted on assessing the probable environmental effects of batteries considering their lifespan, from raw material extraction to end-of-life disposal.
Li–S battery pack was the cleanest, while LMO/NMC-C had the largest environmental load. The more electric energy consumed by the battery pack in the EVs, the greater the environmental impact caused by the existence of nonclean energy structure in the electric power composition, so the lower the environmental characteristics.
Compared to recycling, reusing recovered materials for battery manufacturing would lessen the environmental footprints and reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) and energy consumption. Thus, to prevent pollution and safeguard the environment, it is necessary to consider recycling spent LIBs and improving production and disposal methods.
