Notes
Here we use the Ecoinvent data made available in the Footprint Database:
- Production of a rechargeable Li-ion battery, LFP
- Production of a rechargeable Li-ion battery, NMC532
- Production of a rechargeable Li-ion battery, NMC622
Coupled with IEA data "Share of battery capacity of electric vehicle sales by chemistry and region, 2021-2023" (source shared by ADEME's transport department), we have, in 2023:
| Battery type | BE reference | FE (kgCO2e/kg) | Conversion weight - kWh (kWh/kg) | FE (kgCO2e/kWh) | Distribution 2023 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| LFP | Production of a rechargeable Li-ion battery, LFP | 15.1 | 0.116 | 130 | 6% |
| Production of a rechargeable Li-ion battery, NMC532 | 21.1 | 0.144 | 147 | 16% | |
| High nickel | Production of a rechargeable Li-ion battery, NMC622 | 21.8 | 0.155 | 141 | 79% |
This gives an average battery footprint of 142.7 kgCO2e/kWh.
