Full Description
Offers an up-to-date overview of Battery Passports for Sustainable Lifecycle Management
Battery Passport: A Comprehensive Guide to Technology, Policy, and Global Implementation explores one of the most pressing developments in the global battery industry: the creation and implementation of digital passports to track batteries across their full lifecycle. As demand for electric vehicles, renewable energy storage, and portable devices accelerates, supply chains are under unprecedented pressure—and questions of sustainability, transparency, and accountability have become unavoidable. The Battery Passport is a powerful tool to address these challenges by documenting a battery's origin, performance, and environmental impact while enabling compliance with emerging global regulations.
This timely book delivers a comprehensive analysis of the Battery Passport ecosystem, spanning the technological foundations, the equipment required, and the intricate policy frameworks that underpin its implementation. Each chapter examines a critical dimension, such as international standards, infrastructure design, economic models, ESG implications, and integration with emerging digital technologies. Through detailed case studies, readers gain insight into how early adopters are deploying passport systems and the lessons these examples provide. The author offers a roadmap for overcoming unresolved issues, including data security, interoperability, and cross-border policy alignment.
Equipping readers to understand and advance global efforts in sustainability, digitalization, and the circular economy, Battery Passport:
Analyzes the full lifecycle of batteries through a systems approach, from production to end-of-life recycling
Includes discussion of cutting-edge recycling processes and their connection to passport data
Maps the technological architecture enabling passport implementation, including data standards and digital platforms
Explores business model innovation enabled by lifecycle traceability and transparency
Features forward-looking analysis of integration with blockchain, IoT, and AI technologies
Offers actionable insights and strategic guidance for stakeholders across industries and governments
Battery Passport: A Comprehensive Guide to Technology, Policy, and Global Implementation is an essential resource for professionals and researchers working in energy technology, materials science, and sustainable engineering, particularly in programs related to renewable energy systems, industrial ecology, and electrical engineering. It is also an indispensable reference for professionals in battery manufacturing, supply chain management, energy policy, and sustainability consulting.
