These new guidelines introduce significant changes poised to impact battery producers across the globe, with companies in China and Taiwan being at the forefront of these challenges. Key Highlights of the New Regulations: Beginning in 2027, any power batteries destined for European markets will mandatorily require a "Battery Passport."
This strategic move is tailored to ensure seamless battery trade relations between China and the EU. It's pivotal to note China's overwhelming presence in the battery production landscape, holding a staggering 77% of the global market share.
Countries worldwide are renewing or adapting their political strategies for battery technologies. In this context, a new Fraunhofer ISI report is analysing the different battery policies and targets with focus on three fields of battery technology research: Lithium-ion, solid-state, and alternative batteries.
The continent’s focus is on lithium-ion, solid-state and alternative battery types such as redox-flow, metal-air and sodium-ion batteries and the main goal is becoming a leading supplier of sustainable battery technologies in order to establish a competitive and sustainable battery value chain in the EU.
Although the EU battery regulations are relatively quiet on trade and investment, they are part of a broader geopolitical environment that has become increasingly concerned about the security of energy and critical mineral supply chains (Petitjean and Verheecke, 2023; Riofrancos, 2023; Torjesen, 2024).
In this context, an international comparison between the different battery policy strategies of the leading countries is helpful – and now part of a new Fraunhofer ISI study entitled »Benchmarking International Battery Policies«.

How does trade policy affect the quality of goods?
As Khandelwal et al. (2013) argue, a reduction in specific costs affects firm behaviour in a different way than an ad valorem cost reduction. If low price reflects low quality, an increase in specific costs disproportionately raises the costs of low-quality firms. Thus, a decrease in trade costs will induce entry by low-quality firms. Although ...
