Study

Lithium-Ion Vehicle Battery Production

Summary

The so-called Sweden study has received an update with Svenska Miljöinstitutet (IVL) publishing the latest figures on CO2 emissions from EV battery production. Based on the new data, an estimate of 61-106kg CO2-equivalents per kWh battery capacity was calculated for the most common type, the NMC chemistry. This is substantially lower than the earlier 150-200kg CO2-eq/kWh in the 2017 report.
