🚨 LFP containing up to 5 times less CO2 than an NCA cell 🚨 Check out our new blog written by Adriana Merino Zamora from Minviro in collaboration with our very own Kieran O'Regan from About:Energy. We see a future where battery cells are selected based also on carbon footprint - this is a small, but hugely exciting, step in that direction! https://lnkd.in/eApK8Vcb

How should we think about this in the context of recyclability, or lack thereof with LFP cells?

Great work, you probably want to look into LFMP as well which might surprise you.

Thank you for the great overview. Is the environmental impact for the cell assembly a fixed general value per MWh produced (e.g.) or are the individual manufacturer situations actually taken into account?
Interesting, it'd be great to see early views on silicon anode types too - would love to help facilitate such work.

9moAs commented on in a different version of this post, the use phase needs considerable thought. 2000 cycles may not be relevant for an EV. Most vehicles don't survive 400,000 km, which would be 1000 cycles at 400 km per cycle (low for most EV in the West). Although we might achieve million-mile batteries, I don't see car companies encouraging the ability to swap the battery to a new frame, and we have yet to see a real development in the widespread re-purposing of used EV batteries to grid storage - even though I am a big fan of the reduce-reuse/repurpose-recycle hierarchy. kg CO2e/kWh might be the more appropriate metric.
