Depletion of fossil energy resources [kg oil-eq.]. Deterioration of the ozone layer [kg CFC-11-eq.]. Note the large impact of energy storage in the latter. The system will graph lifecycle impact for a range of specified powertrains, for a large number of impact categories: Climate change [kg CO 2 -eq.].

The battery systems were investigated with a functional unit based on energy storage, and environmental impacts were analyzed using midpoint indicators. Except for ozone depletion potential, the NiMH battery performs significantly worse than the two Li-ion batteries for all impact categories.

A single battery pack is assumed to power the vehicle during its whole life. The study is published in the ACS journal Environmental Science & Technology. The LCA was based on the average US driving and electricity supply conditions. The researchers characterized nanowastes and nanoparticle emissions from the SiNW synthesis.
