The Battery Pass consortium has published the study ‘The Value of the EU Battery Passport’, which sheds light on the benefits and challenges of digital product passports for batteries and underscores their strategic importance for businesses and policymakers.
Published with co-funding from the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK), this study presents the first comprehensive analysis of the qualitative and quantitative benefits and challenges of battery passports for businesses along the value chain, policymakers, and consumers. It explores in detail where and how economic, environmental and social value can be generated by the adoption of battery passports, which are required by the EU Battery Regulation in a bid to increase transparency, circularity and sustainability in the battery value chain.
The Battery Passport Value Assessment presents twelve battery passport use cases along the value chain, supplemented by an initial quantitative assessment of three of them: improved residual value assessment, improved recycling efficiency, and increased end-of-life collection.
