EUROBAT Position: Carbon Footprint Declaration for EV Batteries
EUROBAT, the Association of Manufacturers of Automotive and Industrial Batteries, welcomes the upcoming adoption of a methodology for determining the carbon footprint of electric vehicles. EUROBAT maintains its support for the introduction of a carbon footprint declaration, performance classes and maximum thresholds to promote green batteries made in Europe.
Nonetheless, EUROBAT considers that several elements of the proposed format of the carbon footprint declaration need to be amended to ensure that it can be applied in practice and its enforcement properly monitored by notified bodies, and that it properly reflects the climate impact and benefits of the battery value chain, also in line with our proposed changes to the draft delegated act on the methodology, as laid out in the attached position paper.
