The EU Battery Regulation requires a carbon footprint declaration for EV, LMT and rechargeable industrial batteries. It expresses the battery’s life-cycle carbon footprint and, over time, places batteries into performance classes against a threshold.
- Measured across the life cycle, per functional unit (kWh delivered over service life).
- Calculated using the Commission’s harmonised methodology.
- Declared in the passport and used for carbon-footprint performance classes.
