Are lithium-ion battery energy storage systems sustainable?

Presently, as the world advances rapidly towards achieving net-zero emissions, lithium-ion battery (LIB) energy storage systems (ESS) have emerged as a critical component in the transition away from fossil fuel-based energy generation, offering immense potential in achieving a sustainable environment.

Can a decentralised lithium-ion battery energy storage system solve a low-carbon power sector?

Decentralised lithium-ion battery energy storage systems (BESS) can address some of the electricity storage challenges of a low-carbon power sector by increasing the share of self-consumption for photovoltaic systems of residential households.

Do lithium-ion batteries have a life cycle impact?

Earlier reviews have looked at life cycle impacts of lithium-ion batteries with focusing on electric vehicle applications , or without any specific battery application , . Peters et al. reported that on average 110 kgCO 2 eq emissions were associated with the cradle-to-gate production of 1kWh c lithium-ion battery capacity.

What is a lithium ion battery?

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have become the dominant technology for BESSs, in particular for short term storage , , , . Residential BESSs are employed to increase self-consumption of photovoltaic systems, sometimes referred to as energy time shift.

Which cathode chemistries are used in lithium-ion batteries?

Their study took a high-level perspective on lithium-ion batteries and did not differentiate between cathode chemistries, such as LFP, NMC, LMO and NCA which are known to determine the electro-chemical properties, such as energy density and lifespan , .

Which environmental impact category is most important for lithium-ion batteries?

Global warming potential has, although criticized, remained the most central environmental impact category of many LCAs conducted for lithium-ion batteries , , . As the data basis for GWP remains the strongest and most accessible it has been chosen as the reference impact category in the present work.
