Sustainability

Decarbonization strategies align the battery raw materials sector with the priorities of their customers. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is the scientific methodology used for quantifying the environmental impacts of mining on climate, water, and land. Minviro published the first LCA of a lithium-ion cell using modern LCA data on energy and raw materials, which demonstrated that selecting materials suppliers with low emissions is the industry’s most important lever for mitigating the embodied emissions of energy storage. 53
