Batteries: draft regulation for carbon footprint declaration
(…) a carbon footprint declaration will accompany certain categories of batteries when placed on the EU market to ensure uniform conditions in the implementation of these declarations.
Regulation (EU) 2023/1542, adopted by the European Parliament and the Council on 12 July 2023, aims to ensure that batteries marketed and sold in the EU are sourced and manufactured sustainably.
To achieve this, a carbon footprint declaration will accompany certain categories of batteries when placed on the EU market to ensure uniform conditions in the implementation of these declarations.
The format for drawing up the carbon footprint declaration is outlined in the Annex to the Draft of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) Establishing the Format of the Carbon Footprint Declaration for Batteries, April 2024.
The life-cycle carbon footprint will be measured in kilograms of CO2-equivalent per kilowatt-hour (kWh). The carbon footprint declaration should include a breakdown for each of the life cycle stages.
