Braunschweig team highlights practical solutions like longer lifetimes and recycled materials to cut emissions in battery production
At the 10th International Conference on Life Cycle Management (LCM2025) in Palermo, Italy, GIGABAT partner Braunschweig presented new research on how the battery industry can move towards net-zero carbon emissions. The event gathered around 1,000 participants, almost half from industry, making it an ideal setting to connect academic findings with real-world challenges.
The presentation explored how strategic pathways for cleaner battery production can be developed, focusing on the importance of aligning with absolute sustainability targets. While battery electric vehicles already reduce emissions during use, their production still has a significant climate footprint. The study highlighted that current impacts remain far above sustainable thresholds, but measures such as extending battery lifetimes and increasing the use of recycled aluminium can substantially cut emissions.
The session showed how combining scientific modelling with practical solutions can help identify the most effective and affordable strategies for decarbonising the battery value chain. This approach supports GIGABAT’s mission to accelerate the shift to a sustainable and competitive European battery industry.
