Published purpose
First, an LCA-based environmental assessment is required for anticipated battery and battery material production processes in Canada to establish a baseline for benchmarking, but this has not been previously conducted. Second, an early stage LCA framework is required for the evaluation of new battery materials and processes proposed under the NRC’s Critical Battery Materials Initiative (CBMI). Third, the evaluation of both anticipated large scale battery production and new materials and processes requires Canadian background life cycle inventory (LCI) datasets including electricity, fuels, basic raw materials, chemicals, waste processing and water production.
