High quality LCA database and services to support green batteries transition – European project tackles first actions

Individual mobility must become greener – this could briefly summarize the requirements for the future development of vehicles. The European Union, with its Green Deal, has set a goal of net zero emission cars, which is driving the growing market for electric vehicles. However, electrical mobility is often criticized for the environmental impact of the battery value chain and insufficient recycling activities. The European HiQ-LCA project aims to change this situation by enabling more reliable Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) based on better data and therefore, by empowering stakeholders to find the best starting points for greater sustainability in their production and recycling processes.
