Using renewable electricity could reduce emissions associated with battery production by over 60 percent

Moving battery production out of China and into Europe could cut emissions by 37 percent. If those same components were made using mostly renewable power, emissions could be reduced by as much as 60 percent. However, government action will be required to secure Europe an battery manufacturing. It has been well documented that batteries are among the most carbon intensive components in modern vehicles and make EVs dirtier to manufacture than internal combustion vehicles.

European leaders will need laser sharp focus and joined-up thinking to reap their climate and industrial benefits,” said Julia Poliscanova, T&E’s senior director of e-mobility supply chains. “Strong sustainability requirements, such as the upcoming battery carbon footprint rules, can reward local clean manufacturing.” However, Poliscanova says that Europe needs better tools to promote investments in domestic gigafactories.
