LCA finds EMN high-purity manganese products have lower carbon footprint than incumbent industry

Green Car Congress

DECEMBER 8, 2022

GWP processing routes using both grid-mix electricity and renewable electricity were evaluated in-line with LCA best-practice and Global Battery Alliance requirements for the battery passport. The main contributors to the estimated carbon footprint of HPEMM produced in China are the embodied emissions from the electricity grid mix.

Redwood Materials Will Recycle Hawaiian Grid Batteries

Cars That Think

NOVEMBER 6, 2023

Lithium-ion battery recycling took a big step forward this week, as a Hawaiian utility announced it is undertaking one of the biggest examples of grid-storage recycling in North America to date. By electric grid standards, Anahola’s 4-megawatt-hour storage facility is not big. So the idea is, buy it once and keep it here.”

However, the raw materials for batteries are, in most cases, imported into China from Africa and refined before being exported to Europe. Automakers in Europe can lower their emissions by shortening the transport distance and capitalizing on the DRC’s hydroelectric powered grid and proximity to raw materials. Adesina.
