The new Regulation establishes a comprehensive framework covering all types of batteries and addressing their whole life cycle from production process to design requirements as well as second life, recycling and incorporating recycled content into new batteries. 2. What does the Commission aim to achieve with the current proposal for a regulation?
To make batteries a true enabler of the green transition, a new regulatory framework has to be put in place. The existing EU Batteries Directive dates back to 2006 and is no longer up-to-date.
The Commission proposes that existing restrictions on the use of hazardous substances in all battery types are maintained, in particular for mercury and cadmium. Furthermore, as of 1 July 2024, rechargeable industrial and electric vehicles batteries with internal storage placed on the Union market will have to have a carbon footprint declaration.
Consequently, suppliers around the world are striving to keep up with the rapid pace of demand growth in battery raw materials. Various factors have disrupted the supply chains of battery materials creating a serious mix of risks for secure and rapid road transport decarbonization.
Such studies are important to develop a deeper and broader understanding of the risks endangering the supply sustainability of battery minerals at the regional and global levels.

Batteries are a key technology in the transition to climate neutrality, and to a more circular economy. They are essential for sustainable mobility and contribute to the zero pollution ambition. Batteries are also part of our daily life at home, in kitchen appliances, remote TV control or alarm clocks.
EV Battery Supply Chain Sustainability – Analysis
Battery-related emissions play a notable role in electric vehicle (EV) life cycle emissions, though they are not the largest contributor. However, reducing emissions related to battery production and critical mineral processing remains important. Emissions related to batteries and their supply chains are set to decline further thanks to the electrification of …
