The draft of the carbon footprint accounting rules for the new EU battery law has been officially released

Recently, in order to support the requirements of the EU Battery and Waste Battery Law for the declaration of carbon footprint of electric vehicle batteries, the EU has released a draft of the second level supporting bill - the Authorization Bill for Establishing Carbon Footprint Accounting and Verification Methods for Electric Vehicle Batteries and the Implementation Bill for Establishing a Battery Carbon Footprint Declaration Format,    To guide relevant enterprises in conducting carbon footprint accounting and carbon footprint declaration for electric vehicle batteries.    Zero carbon interpretation: Previously, the EU required electric vehicle batteries with a capacity greater than 2 kWh entering the EU market to provide a carbon footprint statement in the EU Battery and Waste Battery Act. The carbon footprint accounting rules released this time have clarified the calculation method of battery carbon footprint,    Propose that battery production enterprises can only calculate based on two methods: direct connected electricity and the national average electricity consumption combination. It is expected that this will have an impact on domestic battery manufacturers adopting green electricity and green certification methods to reduce carbon emissions levels.
