New EU regulatory framework for batteries
BRIEFING EU Legislation in Progress EPRS | European Parliamentary Research Service Author: Vivienne Halleux Members' Research Service PE March 2022 EN New EU regulatory framework for batteries Setting sustainability requirements OVERVIEW Given the important role they play in the roll-out of zero-emission mobility and the storage of intermittent renewable energy, batteries are a crucial element in the EU's transition to a climate neutral economy. The proposal presented by the European Commission is designed t o m o d ernise the EU's regulatory framework for batteries in order t o secure the sustainability and competitiveness of battery value chains. It would introduce mandatory requirements on sustainability (such as carbon footprint rules, minimum recycled content, performance and durability criteria), s a f ety and labelling for the marketing and putting into service of batteries , and requirements for end-of-l ife management. The proposal also includes due diligence obligations for economic operators as regards the sourcing of raw materials.
industrial applications (e.g. forklifts and other automated guided vehicles) and stationary power storage. According to some forecasts, at global and EU level, lead-acid technologies would still prevail in 2025 in terms of volume, but the lithium-ion market would become greater in terms of value from 2018 onwards.
