The Development Path and Measures of Germany's"Battery Passport"and Its Enlightenment to China
As one of the important carriers to promote the development of a low-carbon economy,the production of power batteries is constantly becoming greener,which has expanded the current competition in the battery market from simple product manufacturing to carbon competitiveness."Battery passports",which record the battery's carbon footprint and other life cycle data,will become the future development trend of the battery industry.The European Union has introduced the world's first legal framework governing the entire life-cycle of batteries,the regulation(issued by EU)concerning batteries and waste batteries,which clarifies battery labeling and information disclosure,and specifies the requirements for the digital"battery passport"and QR codes.Meanwhile,Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action of Germany has launched a three-year joint project on"battery passports"and published the first public content guideline on the EU Battery Passport.This guideline defines key concepts related to batteries,explains the principles of"battery passports"and references to relevant regulations,and elaborates on the contents and requirements for"battery passports".To ensure the global competitiveness of China's battery and new energy vehicle sectors,China needs to initiate research on battery carbon footprint standards and methodologies at an early stage.It should design and introduce its own"Chinese battery passport"and regard it as a digital tool for life-cycle management in the Chinese battery industry.Furthermore,China must strengthen the legislative framework for the development and management of"battery passports",coordinate efforts across different sectors to address challenges,and enhance international cooperation to increase the country's global influence in the industry.
