TL;DR: The results of the analysis show that the manufacturing phase is relevant to all assessed impact categories (contribution higher than 60%) and the contribution to the use phase impact of battery efficiency is larger than that of battery transport.

TL;DR: An adapted LCA is proposed based on the comparison of different scenarios from a life-cycle perspective and confirmed that the environmental benefits of adopting repurposed batteries to increase PV self-consumption in a house occur under specific conditions and that the benefits are more or less considerable depending on the impact category assessed.

TL;DR: A dynamic and parametrized MFA model describes the value-chain of batteries in Europe and indicates that second-use entails energy savings but also delays availability of secondary raw materials.

TL;DR: The Sustainability Assessment of Second Life Applications of Automotive Batteries (SASLAB) exploratory research project of the European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC) aims at developing and applying a methodology to analyse the sustainability of deploying electrified vehicles (xEV) batteries in second use applications.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate the environmental performance of an SOFC fueled with sewage biogas and compare it with traditional technologies (internal combustion engines and microturbines) using the same fuel.
