Battery Emissions Analyser (BEA)

Supports at all stages of the supply chain with carbon intensity analysis for key battery chemistries, raw materials and production locations.

This tool is provided as part of Benchmark’s Sustainability Reports for Lithium, Cobalt, Nickel and Graphite, or as a standalone service.

Benchmark BEA Offerings

Valuable insights into the carbon emissions of the key EV batteries chemistries today. With global lithium-ion battery production set to grow significantly from 1 TWh in 2023 to an estimated 6 TWh by 2033, understanding the environmental impact of these technologies is crucial. Benchmark’s Battery Emissions Analyser (BEA) offers essential emission data using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) inventories, alongside Benchmark’s exclusive cost models, to identify environmental hotspots throughout various stages of cell production, aiding supply chain decisions.

The choice of raw material sourcing, production location and battery manufacturing itself significantly affects carbon competitiveness. The energy source used during both cathode active material production and anode production also influences carbon intensity in various battery chemistries compared with another. These types of assessments, scenario testing and comparisons are all available on the BEA tool, at your fingertips. This information is vital for stakeholders in the energy storage and battery industries, supporting environmentally conscious supply chain decisions in a growing market.
