50 General introduction to Task 5 2

The objective of Task 5 is to define one or more average EU product(s) or a representative 3

product category as ldquoBase Caserdquo (BC) for the whole of the EU-28 Throughout the rest of the 4

study most of the environmental Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Life Cycle Costs (LCC) 5

analyses will be built on this BC The BC is a conscious abstraction of the reality necessary 6

for practical reasons (budgetary and time constraints) The question whether this abstraction 7

will lead to inadmissible conclusions for certain market segments will be addressed in the 8

impact and sensitivity analysis of Task 7 9

Task 5 consists of four subtasks 10

bull Subtask 51 ndash Product specific inputs 11

The product specific inputs are compiled by collecting the most appropriate information 12

from Task 1 to 4 Based on these inputs BCs are defined thus the description of a BC is 13

a synthesis of the previous tasks The following seven BCs are defined within this 14

preparatory study 15

bull Passenger car battery electric vehicle 16

bull Passenger car plug-in hybrid electric vehicle 17

bull Light commercial vehicle battery electric vehicle 18

bull Truck battery electric vehicle 19

bull Truck plug-in hybrid electric vehicle 20

bull Residential storage 21

bull Grid stabilisation 22

bull Subtask 52 ndash Base Case environmental impact assessment 23

An environmental LCA per BC is done with the Ecodesign EcoReport 2014 tool to 24

calculate the emissionresource categories in MEErP format for the different life cycle 25

stages of a battery BC The Critical Raw Material (CRM) indicator is also presented 26

bull Subtask 53 ndash Base Case Life Cycle Costs 27

In addition to environmental impacts the financial impact for the consumer and society 28

are assessed by means of an LCC 29

bull Subtask 54 ndash EU totals 30

In the final subtask of Task 5 the data from the LCA and LCC are aggregated to EU-28 31

level by using the stock and market data from Task 2 32

This Task 5 report concludes with a comparison with the Product Environmental Footprint 33

(PEF) pilot on rechargeable batteries (section 55) and recommendations to Task 6 (section 34

56) 35

This report is a first draft for stakeholder discussion only and will be updated in a later review 36

it serves as an example to show how results will be processed and to show the importance of 37

sourcing appropriate data in Tasks 2-4 The calculations are done with the MEErP method1 in 38

line with the PEF2 pilot as much as possible 39

51 Subtask 51 ndash Product-specific inputs 1

AIM OF SUBTASK 51 2

This subtask collects the relevant quantitative Base Case (BC) information per BC from Tasks 3

1 to 4 that is needed for the LCA and LCC 4

511 Selection of Base Cases and Functional Unit 5

Within the scope of this preparatory study lsquoHigh Specific Energy Rechargeable Batteries for 6

Mobile Applications with High Capacityrsquo seven BCs have been defined An overview of the 7

selected BCs are presented in Table 1 8

The data in Table 1 can change based on comments on the previous tasks from stakeholders 9

Stakeholders are invited to source updated data to Tasks 3 4 for a more accurate modelling 10

In this draft report only BC1 has been calculated with the EcoReport tool based on the 11

parameters shown below and the described assumptions in the following sections 12

1

The functional unit (FU) is set on the same unit as the one defined within the Product 2

Environmental Footprint Category Rules (PEFCR) on High Specific Energy Rechargeable 3

Batteries for Mobile Applications (version H February 2018) 4

The FU is 1 kWh (kilowatt-hour) of the total output energy delivered over the service life by 5

the battery system (measured in kWh) 6

512 Economic input parameters and product service life 7

5121 Introduction to Life Cycle Costs and Levelized Cost Of Energy 8

The MEErP methodology is usually based on an analysis of life cycle costs (LCC) An LCC 9

calculation provides a summation of all of the costs incurred along the life cycle of the product 10

This makes it relevant to consumers because this cost can then be related to potential savings 11

The Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) or LCC is a concept that aims to estimate the full cost of 12

a system Therefore the Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) and Operational Expenditure (OPEX) 13

are calculated CAPEX is used to acquire the battery system and consists mainly of product 14

and installation costs The OPEX is the ongoing cost of running the battery system and 15

consists mainly of costs for replacement 16

The purpose of the discount rate in LCCLCOE calculations is to convert all life cycle costs to 17

their net present value (NPV) taking into account OPEX for energy and other consumables 18

The LCC in MEErP studies is to be calculated using the following formula 19

119871119862119862[euro]= Σ119862119860119875119864119883+ Σ(119875119882119865 119909 119874119875119864119883) 20

where 21

LCC is the life cycle costing 22

CAPEX is the purchase price (including installation) or so-called capital expenditure 23

OPEX are the operating expenses per year or so-called operational expenditure 24

PWF is the present worth factor with PWF = (1 ndash 1(1+ r)N)r 25

N is the product life in years 26

r is the discount rate which represents the return that could be earned in alternative 27

investments 28

The Levelized Cost Of Energy (LCOE) is an economic assessment of the cost of the energy-29

generating system including all the costs over its lifetime initial investment operations and 30

maintenance cost of fuel and cost of capital The LCOE is defined for the purpose of these 31

calculations as 32

LCOE[eurokWh] =net present value of sum of costs of generation over its life time

119904119906119898 119900119891 119890119897119890119888119905119903119894119888119886119897 119890119899119890119903119892119910 119901119903119900119889119906119888119890119889 119900119907119890119903 119894119905119904 119897119894119891119890 119905119894119898119890 33

The LCOE calculation of costs per kWh generated aligns with the FU defined in Task 1 In this 34

definition the life cycle environmental impacts of the battery system or component are 35

normalized to 1 kWh of electricity stored 36

As a consequence there is a direct relationship between LCOE LCC and the FU of a battery 37

system 38

LCOE = LCCFU 39

bull OPEX for a battery replacement 400 EURservice (own estimate) 5

bull OPEX for end of life decommissioning 400 EURservice (own estimate) 6

This is preliminary data and will be updated after completing Task 2 7

5124 Battery system service life and link to the economic life time of the 12

application 13

Definitions 14

An application can require several batteries over its economic life time in order to explain the 15

relationships and assumptions the following definitions will be used 16

bull Ass = Number of batteries for economic service life of application 17

bull Tbat = the life time of the battery system in years[y] 18

bull Tapp = the economic life time of the application in years [y] 19

bull Qua = Quantity of functional units for a battery system (IEC 61951-2 IEC 61960) 20

bull AS = The application service (AS) is the energy required by the application per service 21

life [kWh] 22

23

Assumptions for BC1 (passenger car BEV) 24

The quantity of functional unit of a battery system is related to the product quality (Task 4 and 25

Task 3) because these tasks are not completed yet the data from the PEF pilot3 are used 26

which are 27

bull Qua = 8000 kWh (quantity of functional units for a battery system) 28

bull 25 kWh energy delivered per cycle (battery system capacity used) 29

bull 80 average capacity per cycle 30

bull the corresponding battery capacity needed to deliver on average 25 kWh per cycle 31

with 80 DoD is 250811 = 34375 kWh 32

12

Task 3 will further provide data to model the base cases for the purpose of this first draft the 1

following assumptions will be used for passenger car BEV (BC1) 2

bull It is assumed that a 40 kW battery will deliver 25 kWh per cycle with 80 average 3

capacity along the life span 4

bull 19 kWh100 km (source Task 3 own estimate) 5

bull 13000 km annual mileage 6

bull 15 additional battery loading due to regenerative braking (source own estimate4) 7

bull 10 years economic life time of the car 8

9

Lifetime of battery and number of batteries for the application calculation for BC1 10

(passenger car BEV) 11

The total amount of kWh for the application is 13 000 19100 10 115 = 28405 kWh 12

delivered by the to the car over the entire lifespan 13

14

According to the previous assumptions the reference lifetime of a passenger car BEV battery 15

system is 16

Ass = int(284058000)+1 = 4 batteries or three replacements over its life time 17

The battery at the end of life of the BEV still has potential left to serve other cars or 18

applications (which can be relevant for exploring second life improvement options in 19

Task 6) 20

21

This battery life time appears low stakeholders are invited to source updated data

to Tasks 3 4 for a more accurate modelling

22

5125 Other economic parameters 23

Discount rate 24

The MEErP lsquodiscount ratersquo is set at 4 following rules for EU impact assessments This will 25

be applied to all costs apart from electricity 26

The MEErP defined an lsquoescalation ratersquo for energy costs The default lsquoescalation ratersquo herein 27

os set at 4 in the case of this product group This means that for electricity costs a lsquocorrected 28

discount rate for electricityrsquo is used which is by default 0 29

13

Note The approach for escalation rate and electricity price is currently under review to align 1

with the reference scenarios from the PRIMES5 model 2

Electricity cost 3

The energy rates to be applied in the analysis are based on EURSTAT EURSTAT provides 4

electricity prices for both households and non-households 5

bull The EU-28 average price mdash a weighted average using the most recent (2016) data for 6

the quantity of electricity consumption by households mdash was euro0205 per kWh 7

(including taxes levies and VAT) (EURSTAT 2018) 8

bull The EU-28 average price mdash a weighted average using the most recent (2016) national 9

data for the quantity of consumption by non-household consumers mdash was euro0112 per 10

kWh (excluding refundable taxes and levies and VAT) (EURSTAT 2018) Non-11

household consumers relate to the medium standard non-household consumption 12

band with an annual consumption of electricity between 500 and 2 000 MWh 13

bull The European electricity price reference scenarios from the PRIMES6 model 14

Note in al later review these cost can be further updated for photovoltaic storage systems and 15

hybrid vehicles 16

17

513 Production life cycle information 18

This section includes the data used to model the following life cycle stages 19

bull Production phase ie raw materials use and manufacturing 20

bull Distribution phase 21

bull Use phase 22

bull End-of-Life phase 23

5131 Production phase 24

The following subsections provides the Bill-of-Materials (BOM) information per selected BC 25

The BOM information is provided in the EcoReport format and are based on the data 26

presented in Table 3 and 4 of subtask 42 (see section 421 of Task 4 report) 27

Some of the materials used to manufacture battery cells are not included as standard materials 28

in EcoReport The latest version of EcoReport originally developed in 2011 enables the user 29

to enter impact assessment data for other materials The materials which have been added to 30

The EcoReport tool contains fixed impacts on weight basis for manufacturing of components 5

These data are used in the study The only variable that can be edited in this section is the 6

percentage of sheet metal scrap The default value given by the EcoReport tool is 25 This 7

value is reduced to 10 which is a recommended value for folded sheets mentioned in the 8

MEErP methodology report 9

5132 Distribution phase 11

For the distribution phase the Ecoreport tool requires the volume of the final packaged product 12

to be entered as an input Based on this volume the impact of transport of the product to the 13

site of installation is calculated In the distribution phase the final assembly per m3 packaged 14

final product is also taken into account in the EcoReport tool It also includes space heating 15

and lighting of offices executive travels ([row 62] in the EcoReport calculation sheet) per 16

product As in this preparatory study the FU is not 1 product but 1 kWh delivered energy by 17

the product the project team changed the calculations by dividing the calculated impact for 18

[row 62] by the total amount of 28405 kWh delivered energy and multiplying it with the number 19

of productsbatteries (4) 20

In addition replies to the EcoReport key questions regarding the product type and installation 21

were given as follows 22

BC1 (passenger car BEV) 23

bull lsquoIs it an ICT or consumer electronic product less than 15 kgrsquo - No 24

bull lsquoIs it an installed appliancersquo - Yes 25

bull The volume of the packaged battery is assumed to be 04 m3 (2 m 1 m 02 m) In 26

the EcoReport tool this volume is divided by the total amount of 28405 kWh delivered 27

energy and multiplied with the number of batteries (4) to calculate the amount 28

corresponding with the amount of raw materials extracted for manufacturing 29

Aspects of the other BCs to be added in later update 30

5133 Use phase 32

The following aspects are taken into account to model direct and indirect losses during the 33

use phase 34

bull Direct losses in the battery and energy efficiency for BC1 (passenger car BEV) 35

Energy efficiency = ŋcoul x ŋv = 96 or 4 direct losses to be applied on the 36

functional unit (includes brake energy recovery) 37

bull Indirect losses in the battery charger for BC1 (passenger car BEV) 38

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

19

Charger efficiency = 95 or 5 direct losses to be applied to the total amount of 1

functional units minus the assumption on brake energy recovery (15 ) 2

bull Indirect losses from the thermal management system for BC1 (passenger car 3

BEV) 4

An indirect loss of 1 is assumed 5

Aspects of the other BCs to be added in later update 7

5134 End-of-Life phase 8

Default end-of-life (EOL) values from the MEErP EcoReport tool have been used They are 9

provided in Table 4 In the EcoReport tool end-of-life scenarios are assigned to material 10

categories It is not possible to assign end-of-life scenarios to components 11

For this product group many materials were not available in the EcoReport tool Those 12

materials were added as extra materials In total 539 of the battery weight consists of lsquoextra 13

materialsrsquo The MEErP assigns a default end-of-life scenario to these materials (see column 8 14

in Table 4) The default value for recycling within this material category is 60 10 goes to 15

incineration 29 to landfill and 1 is assumed to be reused The benefits of recycling are in 16

the MEErP EcoReport tool calculated as a percentage of the impacts from production For the 17

material category lsquoExtrarsquo MEErP assumes that the benefits of recycling are 40 of the impacts 18

from the production In other words if the impact of the production of the extra materials equals 19

1 kg CO2 eq in the impact category global warming than the benefits attributed to the recycling 20

of the same amount of extra materials in the impact category global warming are 10604 = 21

024 kg CO2 eq 22

23

Recycling of the different materials which are currently catalogued as lsquoExtra materialsrsquo will be 24

evaluated in more detail in a update of this report 25

For ferro and non-ferro metals the default assumption is that 94 is recycled at EOL 26

528 Critical Raw Materials 3

The Critical Raw Material (CRM) indicator is calculated according to MEErP 2011 There are 4

14 CRMs listed in the MEErP methodology however the number of CRMs for the EU has 5

increased to 27 in 20178 The only9 raw material within battery systems that is seen as a CRM 6

is cobalt Lithium is also used in battery systems but is still assessed as a non-critical raw 7

material by the EC10 The economic importance and the supply risk of lithium was in 2017 still 8

within the criticality threshold The criticality threshold can be passed when the demand for 9

lithium increases Therefore the CRM indicator for lithium is included in this preparatory study 10

The CRM indicator in the EcoReport tool is calculated by multiplying the weight of a CRM with 11

a characterisation factor (CF) For cobalt the CF is 002 kg Sb eq per kg cobalt The 12

EcoReport tool does not include a CF for lithium The factor for lithium can be calculated based 13

on the formula provided in the MEErP methodology report part 2 The formula is as follows 14

kg Sb equivalent per kg CRM = 451 (EU consumption [tonyr] Import dependency rate [] 15

Substitutability [] (1 ndash Recycling Rate [])) 16

All necessary values are given in the EC report lsquoStudy on the review of the list of Critical Raw 17

Materials Non-critical Raw Materials Factsheets 201711rsquo and summarized in the table below 18

55 Comparison with the Product Environmental Footprint 11

pilot 12

This section compares the results of the environmental LCA executed within this preparatory 13

study with the EcoReport 2014 tool according to the MEErP format with the results of the 14

Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) pilot on rechargeable batteries The PEF method was 15

developed by the Institute for Environment and Sustainability (IES) of the Joint Research 16

Centre (JRC) a Directorate General of the EC upon mandate of the EC Directorate General 17

Environment (DG ENV) The PEF is a harmonised methodology for the calculation of the 18

environmental performance of products (ie goods andor services) from a life cycle 19

perspective 20

Annex B contains a comparison of the MEErP environmental impact categories with PEF 21

environmental impact categories Both methodologies apply different principles (eg regarding 22

end-of-life) The comparison included in this preparatory study is just to check whether 23

the order of magnitude of the results is in the same range 24

In the rechargeable batteries PEF pilot the following four batteries were assessed Li-ion in 25

cordless power tools Li-ion in ICT NiMH in ICT and Li-ion in e-mobility Only the latter is 26

comparable with one of the BCs within this preparatory study ie BC1 the BEV passenger 27

car The only impact category that is directly comparable (same environmental impact and 28

expressed in a similar unit) is the impact category lsquoglobal warmingrsquo (see Annex B) Only the 29

impact caused in the production phase are compared as the scenarios for the 30

distribution use phase and EOL within the MEErP methodology are very different to 31

the one in the PEF pilot 32

3

The Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) method14 was developed by the EURpean 4

Commission as part of the Single Market for Green Products Initiative15 The EURpean 5

Commission proposes the PEF method as a common way of measuring environmental 6

performance of products During several pilot projects16 Product Environmental Footprint 7

Category Rules (PEFCR) were developed for several product groups One of these product 8

groups was the product group of lsquoRechargeable batteriesrsquo 9

10

In 2005 the Methodology for Ecodesign of Energy-using Products (MEEuP) was developed 11

for assessing whether and which ecodesign requirements are appropriate for energy-using 12

products under the Ecodesign Directive Following the revision of the Ecodesign Directive and 13

the extension of its scope to energy-related products in 2009 the Commission reviewed the 14

effectiveness of the MEEuP with a view to extend it to energy-related products The updated 15

methodology MEErP has been endorsed by the Ecodesign Consultation Forum of 20 January 16

2012 and shall be used as basis for ecodesign and energy labelling preparatory studies The 17

MEErP methodology consists of seven tasks of which Task 5 is on lsquoEnvironment and 18

Economicsrsquo For MEErP assessments a reporting tool called EcoReport was developed that 19

facilitates the necessary calculations to translate product-specific characteristics into 20

environmental impact indicators per product 21

22

This annex compares the impact categories used in the PEF methodology and the MEErP 23

methodology (subtask 52 environmental impact assessment) which have both been 24

developed to assess the environmental impact of products 25

26

Environmental impact categories 27

PEF considers 16 environmental impact categories MEErP considers 13 environmental 28

impact categories Table 13 gives an overview of the impact categories considered in both 29

methodologies Common impact categories are lsquoClimate changersquo lsquoParticulate matterrsquo 30

lsquoAcidificationrsquo lsquoEutrophicationrsquo and lsquoWater usersquo Only the impact category climate change is 31

expressed in a common unit 32

50 General introduction to Task 5 2

The objective of Task 5 is to define one or more average EU product(s) or a representative 3

product category as ldquoBase Caserdquo (BC) for the whole of the EU-28 Throughout the rest of the 4

study most of the environmental Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Life Cycle Costs (LCC) 5

analyses will be built on this BC The BC is a conscious abstraction of the reality necessary 6

for practical reasons (budgetary and time constraints) The question whether this abstraction 7

will lead to inadmissible conclusions for certain market segments will be addressed in the 8

impact and sensitivity analysis of Task 7 9

Task 5 consists of four subtasks 10

bull Subtask 51 ndash Product specific inputs 11

The product specific inputs are compiled by collecting the most appropriate information 12

from Task 1 to 4 Based on these inputs BCs are defined thus the description of a BC is 13

a synthesis of the previous tasks The following seven BCs are defined within this 14

preparatory study 15

bull Passenger car battery electric vehicle 16

bull Passenger car plug-in hybrid electric vehicle 17

bull Light commercial vehicle battery electric vehicle 18

bull Truck battery electric vehicle 19

bull Truck plug-in hybrid electric vehicle 20

bull Residential storage 21

bull Grid stabilisation 22

bull Subtask 52 ndash Base Case environmental impact assessment 23

An environmental LCA per BC is done with the Ecodesign EcoReport 2014 tool to 24

calculate the emissionresource categories in MEErP format for the different life cycle 25

stages of a battery BC The Critical Raw Material (CRM) indicator is also presented 26

bull Subtask 53 ndash Base Case Life Cycle Costs 27

In addition to environmental impacts the financial impact for the consumer and society 28

are assessed by means of an LCC 29

bull Subtask 54 ndash EU totals 30

In the final subtask of Task 5 the data from the LCA and LCC are aggregated to EU-28 31

level by using the stock and market data from Task 2 32

This Task 5 report concludes with a comparison with the Product Environmental Footprint 33

(PEF) pilot on rechargeable batteries (section 55) and recommendations to Task 6 (section 34

56) 35

This report is a first draft for stakeholder discussion only and will be updated in a later review 36

it serves as an example to show how results will be processed and to show the importance of 37

sourcing appropriate data in Tasks 2-4 The calculations are done with the MEErP method1 in 38

line with the PEF2 pilot as much as possible 39

The functional unit (FU) is set on the same unit as the one defined within the Product 2

Environmental Footprint Category Rules (PEFCR) on High Specific Energy Rechargeable 3

Batteries for Mobile Applications (version H February 2018) 4

The FU is 1 kWh (kilowatt-hour) of the total output energy delivered over the service life by 5

the battery system (measured in kWh) 6

5121 Introduction to Life Cycle Costs and Levelized Cost Of Energy 8

The MEErP methodology is usually based on an analysis of life cycle costs (LCC) An LCC 9

calculation provides a summation of all of the costs incurred along the life cycle of the product 10

This makes it relevant to consumers because this cost can then be related to potential savings 11

The Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) or LCC is a concept that aims to estimate the full cost of 12

a system Therefore the Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) and Operational Expenditure (OPEX) 13

are calculated CAPEX is used to acquire the battery system and consists mainly of product 14

and installation costs The OPEX is the ongoing cost of running the battery system and 15

consists mainly of costs for replacement 16

The purpose of the discount rate in LCCLCOE calculations is to convert all life cycle costs to 17

their net present value (NPV) taking into account OPEX for energy and other consumables 18

The LCC in MEErP studies is to be calculated using the following formula 19

119871119862119862[euro]= Σ119862119860119875119864119883+ Σ(119875119882119865 119909 119874119875119864119883) 20

where 21

LCC is the life cycle costing 22

CAPEX is the purchase price (including installation) or so-called capital expenditure 23

OPEX are the operating expenses per year or so-called operational expenditure 24

PWF is the present worth factor with PWF = (1 ndash 1(1+ r)N)r 25

N is the product life in years 26

r is the discount rate which represents the return that could be earned in alternative 27

investments 28

The Levelized Cost Of Energy (LCOE) is an economic assessment of the cost of the energy-29

generating system including all the costs over its lifetime initial investment operations and 30

maintenance cost of fuel and cost of capital The LCOE is defined for the purpose of these 31

calculations as 32

LCOE[eurokWh] =net present value of sum of costs of generation over its life time

The LCOE calculation of costs per kWh generated aligns with the FU defined in Task 1 In this 34

definition the life cycle environmental impacts of the battery system or component are 35

normalized to 1 kWh of electricity stored 36

As a consequence there is a direct relationship between LCOE LCC and the FU of a battery 37

system 38

LCOE = LCCFU 39

application 13

Definitions 14

An application can require several batteries over its economic life time in order to explain the 15

relationships and assumptions the following definitions will be used 16

bull Ass = Number of batteries for economic service life of application 17

bull Tbat = the life time of the battery system in years[y] 18

bull Tapp = the economic life time of the application in years [y] 19

bull Qua = Quantity of functional units for a battery system (IEC 61951-2 IEC 61960) 20

bull AS = The application service (AS) is the energy required by the application per service 21

life [kWh] 22

23

Assumptions for BC1 (passenger car BEV) 24

The quantity of functional unit of a battery system is related to the product quality (Task 4 and 25

Task 3) because these tasks are not completed yet the data from the PEF pilot3 are used 26

which are 27

bull Qua = 8000 kWh (quantity of functional units for a battery system) 28

bull 25 kWh energy delivered per cycle (battery system capacity used) 29

bull 80 average capacity per cycle 30

bull the corresponding battery capacity needed to deliver on average 25 kWh per cycle 31

with 80 DoD is 250811 = 34375 kWh 32

Task 3 will further provide data to model the base cases for the purpose of this first draft the 1

following assumptions will be used for passenger car BEV (BC1) 2

bull It is assumed that a 40 kW battery will deliver 25 kWh per cycle with 80 average 3

capacity along the life span 4

bull 19 kWh100 km (source Task 3 own estimate) 5

bull 13000 km annual mileage 6

bull 15 additional battery loading due to regenerative braking (source own estimate4) 7

bull 10 years economic life time of the car 8

Lifetime of battery and number of batteries for the application calculation for BC1 10

(passenger car BEV) 11

The total amount of kWh for the application is 13 000 19100 10 115 = 28405 kWh 12

delivered by the to the car over the entire lifespan 13

14

According to the previous assumptions the reference lifetime of a passenger car BEV battery 15

system is 16

Ass = int(284058000)+1 = 4 batteries or three replacements over its life time 17

The battery at the end of life of the BEV still has potential left to serve other cars or 18

applications (which can be relevant for exploring second life improvement options in 19

Discount rate 24

The MEErP lsquodiscount ratersquo is set at 4 following rules for EU impact assessments This will 25

be applied to all costs apart from electricity 26

The MEErP defined an lsquoescalation ratersquo for energy costs The default lsquoescalation ratersquo herein 27

os set at 4 in the case of this product group This means that for electricity costs a lsquocorrected 28

discount rate for electricityrsquo is used which is by default 0 29

Note The approach for escalation rate and electricity price is currently under review to align 1

with the reference scenarios from the PRIMES5 model 2

Electricity cost 3

The energy rates to be applied in the analysis are based on EURSTAT EURSTAT provides 4

electricity prices for both households and non-households 5

bull The EU-28 average price mdash a weighted average using the most recent (2016) data for 6

the quantity of electricity consumption by households mdash was euro0205 per kWh 7

(including taxes levies and VAT) (EURSTAT 2018) 8

bull The EU-28 average price mdash a weighted average using the most recent (2016) national 9

data for the quantity of consumption by non-household consumers mdash was euro0112 per 10

kWh (excluding refundable taxes and levies and VAT) (EURSTAT 2018) Non-11

household consumers relate to the medium standard non-household consumption 12

band with an annual consumption of electricity between 500 and 2 000 MWh 13

5132 Distribution phase 11

For the distribution phase the Ecoreport tool requires the volume of the final packaged product 12

to be entered as an input Based on this volume the impact of transport of the product to the 13

site of installation is calculated In the distribution phase the final assembly per m3 packaged 14

final product is also taken into account in the EcoReport tool It also includes space heating 15

and lighting of offices executive travels ([row 62] in the EcoReport calculation sheet) per 16

product As in this preparatory study the FU is not 1 product but 1 kWh delivered energy by 17

the product the project team changed the calculations by dividing the calculated impact for 18

[row 62] by the total amount of 28405 kWh delivered energy and multiplying it with the number 19

of productsbatteries (4) 20

In addition replies to the EcoReport key questions regarding the product type and installation 21

were given as follows 22

BC1 (passenger car BEV) 23

bull lsquoIs it an ICT or consumer electronic product less than 15 kgrsquo - No 24

bull lsquoIs it an installed appliancersquo - Yes 25

bull The volume of the packaged battery is assumed to be 04 m3 (2 m 1 m 02 m) In 26

the EcoReport tool this volume is divided by the total amount of 28405 kWh delivered 27

energy and multiplied with the number of batteries (4) to calculate the amount 28

corresponding with the amount of raw materials extracted for manufacturing 29

Aspects of the other BCs to be added in later update 30

31

5133 Use phase 32

The following aspects are taken into account to model direct and indirect losses during the 33

use phase 34

bull Direct losses in the battery and energy efficiency for BC1 (passenger car BEV) 35

Energy efficiency = ŋcoul x ŋv = 96 or 4 direct losses to be applied on the 36

functional unit (includes brake energy recovery) 37

bull Indirect losses in the battery charger for BC1 (passenger car BEV) 38

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

19

Charger efficiency = 95 or 5 direct losses to be applied to the total amount of 1

functional units minus the assumption on brake energy recovery (15 ) 2

bull Indirect losses from the thermal management system for BC1 (passenger car 3

BEV) 4

An indirect loss of 1 is assumed 5

Aspects of the other BCs to be added in later update 7

5134 End-of-Life phase 8

Default end-of-life (EOL) values from the MEErP EcoReport tool have been used They are 9

provided in Table 4 In the EcoReport tool end-of-life scenarios are assigned to material 10

categories It is not possible to assign end-of-life scenarios to components 11

For this product group many materials were not available in the EcoReport tool Those 12

materials were added as extra materials In total 539 of the battery weight consists of lsquoextra 13

materialsrsquo The MEErP assigns a default end-of-life scenario to these materials (see column 8 14

in Table 4) The default value for recycling within this material category is 60 10 goes to 15

incineration 29 to landfill and 1 is assumed to be reused The benefits of recycling are in 16

the MEErP EcoReport tool calculated as a percentage of the impacts from production For the 17

material category lsquoExtrarsquo MEErP assumes that the benefits of recycling are 40 of the impacts 18

from the production In other words if the impact of the production of the extra materials equals 19

1 kg CO2 eq in the impact category global warming than the benefits attributed to the recycling 20

of the same amount of extra materials in the impact category global warming are 10604 = 21

024 kg CO2 eq 22

23

Recycling of the different materials which are currently catalogued as lsquoExtra materialsrsquo will be 24

evaluated in more detail in a update of this report 25

For ferro and non-ferro metals the default assumption is that 94 is recycled at EOL 26

528 Critical Raw Materials 3

The Critical Raw Material (CRM) indicator is calculated according to MEErP 2011 There are 4

14 CRMs listed in the MEErP methodology however the number of CRMs for the EU has 5

increased to 27 in 20178 The only9 raw material within battery systems that is seen as a CRM 6

is cobalt Lithium is also used in battery systems but is still assessed as a non-critical raw 7

material by the EC10 The economic importance and the supply risk of lithium was in 2017 still 8

within the criticality threshold The criticality threshold can be passed when the demand for 9

lithium increases Therefore the CRM indicator for lithium is included in this preparatory study 10

The CRM indicator in the EcoReport tool is calculated by multiplying the weight of a CRM with 11

a characterisation factor (CF) For cobalt the CF is 002 kg Sb eq per kg cobalt The 12

EcoReport tool does not include a CF for lithium The factor for lithium can be calculated based 13

on the formula provided in the MEErP methodology report part 2 The formula is as follows 14

kg Sb equivalent per kg CRM = 451 (EU consumption [tonyr] Import dependency rate [] 15

Substitutability [] (1 ndash Recycling Rate [])) 16

All necessary values are given in the EC report lsquoStudy on the review of the list of Critical Raw 17

55 Comparison with the Product Environmental Footprint 11

pilot 12

This section compares the results of the environmental LCA executed within this preparatory 13

study with the EcoReport 2014 tool according to the MEErP format with the results of the 14

Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) pilot on rechargeable batteries The PEF method was 15

developed by the Institute for Environment and Sustainability (IES) of the Joint Research 16

Centre (JRC) a Directorate General of the EC upon mandate of the EC Directorate General 17

Environment (DG ENV) The PEF is a harmonised methodology for the calculation of the 18

environmental performance of products (ie goods andor services) from a life cycle 19

perspective 20

Annex B contains a comparison of the MEErP environmental impact categories with PEF 21

environmental impact categories Both methodologies apply different principles (eg regarding 22

end-of-life) The comparison included in this preparatory study is just to check whether 23

the order of magnitude of the results is in the same range 24

In the rechargeable batteries PEF pilot the following four batteries were assessed Li-ion in 25

cordless power tools Li-ion in ICT NiMH in ICT and Li-ion in e-mobility Only the latter is 26

comparable with one of the BCs within this preparatory study ie BC1 the BEV passenger 27

car The only impact category that is directly comparable (same environmental impact and 28

expressed in a similar unit) is the impact category lsquoglobal warmingrsquo (see Annex B) Only the 29

impact caused in the production phase are compared as the scenarios for the 30

distribution use phase and EOL within the MEErP methodology are very different to 31

the one in the PEF pilot 32

Annex B Product environmental footprint compared to MEErP 1

Ecoreport tool 2

3

The Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) method14 was developed by the EURpean 4

Commission as part of the Single Market for Green Products Initiative15 The EURpean 5

Commission proposes the PEF method as a common way of measuring environmental 6

performance of products During several pilot projects16 Product Environmental Footprint 7

Category Rules (PEFCR) were developed for several product groups One of these product 8

groups was the product group of lsquoRechargeable batteriesrsquo 9

10

In 2005 the Methodology for Ecodesign of Energy-using Products (MEEuP) was developed 11

for assessing whether and which ecodesign requirements are appropriate for energy-using 12

products under the Ecodesign Directive Following the revision of the Ecodesign Directive and 13

the extension of its scope to energy-related products in 2009 the Commission reviewed the 14

effectiveness of the MEEuP with a view to extend it to energy-related products The updated 15

methodology MEErP has been endorsed by the Ecodesign Consultation Forum of 20 January 16

2012 and shall be used as basis for ecodesign and energy labelling preparatory studies The 17

MEErP methodology consists of seven tasks of which Task 5 is on lsquoEnvironment and 18

Economicsrsquo For MEErP assessments a reporting tool called EcoReport was developed that 19

facilitates the necessary calculations to translate product-specific characteristics into 20

environmental impact indicators per product 21

22

This annex compares the impact categories used in the PEF methodology and the MEErP 23

methodology (subtask 52 environmental impact assessment) which have both been 24

developed to assess the environmental impact of products 25

26

Environmental impact categories 27

PEF considers 16 environmental impact categories MEErP considers 13 environmental 28

impact categories Table 13 gives an overview of the impact categories considered in both 29

methodologies Common impact categories are lsquoClimate changersquo lsquoParticulate matterrsquo 30

50 General introduction to Task 5 2

The objective of Task 5 is to define one or more average EU product(s) or a representative 3

product category as ldquoBase Caserdquo (BC) for the whole of the EU-28 Throughout the rest of the 4

study most of the environmental Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Life Cycle Costs (LCC) 5

analyses will be built on this BC The BC is a conscious abstraction of the reality necessary 6

for practical reasons (budgetary and time constraints) The question whether this abstraction 7

will lead to inadmissible conclusions for certain market segments will be addressed in the 8

impact and sensitivity analysis of Task 7 9

Task 5 consists of four subtasks 10

bull Subtask 51 ndash Product specific inputs 11

The product specific inputs are compiled by collecting the most appropriate information 12

from Task 1 to 4 Based on these inputs BCs are defined thus the description of a BC is 13

a synthesis of the previous tasks The following seven BCs are defined within this 14

preparatory study 15

bull Passenger car battery electric vehicle 16

bull Passenger car plug-in hybrid electric vehicle 17

bull Light commercial vehicle battery electric vehicle 18

bull Truck battery electric vehicle 19

bull Truck plug-in hybrid electric vehicle 20

bull Residential storage 21

bull Grid stabilisation 22

bull Subtask 52 ndash Base Case environmental impact assessment 23

An environmental LCA per BC is done with the Ecodesign EcoReport 2014 tool to 24

calculate the emissionresource categories in MEErP format for the different life cycle 25

stages of a battery BC The Critical Raw Material (CRM) indicator is also presented 26

bull Subtask 53 ndash Base Case Life Cycle Costs 27

In addition to environmental impacts the financial impact for the consumer and society 28

are assessed by means of an LCC 29

bull Subtask 54 ndash EU totals 30

In the final subtask of Task 5 the data from the LCA and LCC are aggregated to EU-28 31

level by using the stock and market data from Task 2 32

This Task 5 report concludes with a comparison with the Product Environmental Footprint 33

(PEF) pilot on rechargeable batteries (section 55) and recommendations to Task 6 (section 34

56) 35

This report is a first draft for stakeholder discussion only and will be updated in a later review 36

it serves as an example to show how results will be processed and to show the importance of 37

sourcing appropriate data in Tasks 2-4 The calculations are done with the MEErP method1 in 38

line with the PEF2 pilot as much as possible 39

AIM OF SUBTASK 51 2

This subtask collects the relevant quantitative Base Case (BC) information per BC from Tasks 3

1 to 4 that is needed for the LCA and LCC 4

511 Selection of Base Cases and Functional Unit 5

Within the scope of this preparatory study lsquoHigh Specific Energy Rechargeable Batteries for 6

Mobile Applications with High Capacityrsquo seven BCs have been defined An overview of the 7

selected BCs are presented in Table 1 8

The data in Table 1 can change based on comments on the previous tasks from stakeholders 9

Stakeholders are invited to source updated data to Tasks 3 4 for a more accurate modelling 10

In this draft report only BC1 has been calculated with the EcoReport tool based on the 11

parameters shown below and the described assumptions in the following sections 12

1

The functional unit (FU) is set on the same unit as the one defined within the Product 2

Environmental Footprint Category Rules (PEFCR) on High Specific Energy Rechargeable 3

Batteries for Mobile Applications (version H February 2018) 4

The FU is 1 kWh (kilowatt-hour) of the total output energy delivered over the service life by 5

the battery system (measured in kWh) 6

512 Economic input parameters and product service life 7

5121 Introduction to Life Cycle Costs and Levelized Cost Of Energy 8

The MEErP methodology is usually based on an analysis of life cycle costs (LCC) An LCC 9

calculation provides a summation of all of the costs incurred along the life cycle of the product 10

This makes it relevant to consumers because this cost can then be related to potential savings 11

The Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) or LCC is a concept that aims to estimate the full cost of 12

a system Therefore the Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) and Operational Expenditure (OPEX) 13

are calculated CAPEX is used to acquire the battery system and consists mainly of product 14

and installation costs The OPEX is the ongoing cost of running the battery system and 15

consists mainly of costs for replacement 16

The purpose of the discount rate in LCCLCOE calculations is to convert all life cycle costs to 17

their net present value (NPV) taking into account OPEX for energy and other consumables 18

The LCC in MEErP studies is to be calculated using the following formula 19

119871119862119862[euro]= Σ119862119860119875119864119883+ Σ(119875119882119865 119909 119874119875119864119883) 20

where 21

LCC is the life cycle costing 22

CAPEX is the purchase price (including installation) or so-called capital expenditure 23

OPEX are the operating expenses per year or so-called operational expenditure 24

PWF is the present worth factor with PWF = (1 ndash 1(1+ r)N)r 25

N is the product life in years 26

r is the discount rate which represents the return that could be earned in alternative 27

investments 28

The Levelized Cost Of Energy (LCOE) is an economic assessment of the cost of the energy-29

generating system including all the costs over its lifetime initial investment operations and 30

maintenance cost of fuel and cost of capital The LCOE is defined for the purpose of these 31

calculations as 32

LCOE[eurokWh] =net present value of sum of costs of generation over its life time

119904119906119898 119900119891 119890119897119890119888119905119903119894119888119886119897 119890119899119890119903119892119910 119901119903119900119889119906119888119890119889 119900119907119890119903 119894119905119904 119897119894119891119890 119905119894119898119890 33

The LCOE calculation of costs per kWh generated aligns with the FU defined in Task 1 In this 34

definition the life cycle environmental impacts of the battery system or component are 35

normalized to 1 kWh of electricity stored 36

As a consequence there is a direct relationship between LCOE LCC and the FU of a battery 37

system 38

LCOE = LCCFU 39

5124 Battery system service life and link to the economic life time of the 12

application 13

Definitions 14

An application can require several batteries over its economic life time in order to explain the 15

relationships and assumptions the following definitions will be used 16

bull Ass = Number of batteries for economic service life of application 17

bull Tbat = the life time of the battery system in years[y] 18

bull Tapp = the economic life time of the application in years [y] 19

bull Qua = Quantity of functional units for a battery system (IEC 61951-2 IEC 61960) 20

bull AS = The application service (AS) is the energy required by the application per service 21

life [kWh] 22

23

Assumptions for BC1 (passenger car BEV) 24

The quantity of functional unit of a battery system is related to the product quality (Task 4 and 25

Task 3) because these tasks are not completed yet the data from the PEF pilot3 are used 26

which are 27

bull Qua = 8000 kWh (quantity of functional units for a battery system) 28

bull 25 kWh energy delivered per cycle (battery system capacity used) 29

bull 80 average capacity per cycle 30

bull the corresponding battery capacity needed to deliver on average 25 kWh per cycle 31

with 80 DoD is 250811 = 34375 kWh 32

Task 3 will further provide data to model the base cases for the purpose of this first draft the 1

following assumptions will be used for passenger car BEV (BC1) 2

bull It is assumed that a 40 kW battery will deliver 25 kWh per cycle with 80 average 3

capacity along the life span 4

bull 19 kWh100 km (source Task 3 own estimate) 5

bull 13000 km annual mileage 6

bull 15 additional battery loading due to regenerative braking (source own estimate4) 7

bull 10 years economic life time of the car 8

9

Lifetime of battery and number of batteries for the application calculation for BC1 10

(passenger car BEV) 11

The total amount of kWh for the application is 13 000 19100 10 115 = 28405 kWh 12

delivered by the to the car over the entire lifespan 13

14

According to the previous assumptions the reference lifetime of a passenger car BEV battery 15

system is 16

Ass = int(284058000)+1 = 4 batteries or three replacements over its life time 17

The battery at the end of life of the BEV still has potential left to serve other cars or 18

applications (which can be relevant for exploring second life improvement options in 19

Task 6) 20

21

This battery life time appears low stakeholders are invited to source updated data

to Tasks 3 4 for a more accurate modelling

22

5125 Other economic parameters 23

Discount rate 24

The MEErP lsquodiscount ratersquo is set at 4 following rules for EU impact assessments This will 25

be applied to all costs apart from electricity 26

The MEErP defined an lsquoescalation ratersquo for energy costs The default lsquoescalation ratersquo herein 27

os set at 4 in the case of this product group This means that for electricity costs a lsquocorrected 28

discount rate for electricityrsquo is used which is by default 0 29

Note The approach for escalation rate and electricity price is currently under review to align 1

with the reference scenarios from the PRIMES5 model 2

Electricity cost 3

The energy rates to be applied in the analysis are based on EURSTAT EURSTAT provides 4

electricity prices for both households and non-households 5

bull The EU-28 average price mdash a weighted average using the most recent (2016) data for 6

the quantity of electricity consumption by households mdash was euro0205 per kWh 7

(including taxes levies and VAT) (EURSTAT 2018) 8

bull The EU-28 average price mdash a weighted average using the most recent (2016) national 9

data for the quantity of consumption by non-household consumers mdash was euro0112 per 10

kWh (excluding refundable taxes and levies and VAT) (EURSTAT 2018) Non-11

household consumers relate to the medium standard non-household consumption 12

band with an annual consumption of electricity between 500 and 2 000 MWh 13

bull The European electricity price reference scenarios from the PRIMES6 model 14

Note in al later review these cost can be further updated for photovoltaic storage systems and 15

hybrid vehicles 16

The EcoReport tool contains fixed impacts on weight basis for manufacturing of components 5

These data are used in the study The only variable that can be edited in this section is the 6

percentage of sheet metal scrap The default value given by the EcoReport tool is 25 This 7

value is reduced to 10 which is a recommended value for folded sheets mentioned in the 8

MEErP methodology report 9

5132 Distribution phase 11

For the distribution phase the Ecoreport tool requires the volume of the final packaged product 12

to be entered as an input Based on this volume the impact of transport of the product to the 13

site of installation is calculated In the distribution phase the final assembly per m3 packaged 14

final product is also taken into account in the EcoReport tool It also includes space heating 15

and lighting of offices executive travels ([row 62] in the EcoReport calculation sheet) per 16

product As in this preparatory study the FU is not 1 product but 1 kWh delivered energy by 17

the product the project team changed the calculations by dividing the calculated impact for 18

[row 62] by the total amount of 28405 kWh delivered energy and multiplying it with the number 19

of productsbatteries (4) 20

In addition replies to the EcoReport key questions regarding the product type and installation 21

were given as follows 22

BC1 (passenger car BEV) 23

bull lsquoIs it an ICT or consumer electronic product less than 15 kgrsquo - No 24

bull lsquoIs it an installed appliancersquo - Yes 25

bull The volume of the packaged battery is assumed to be 04 m3 (2 m 1 m 02 m) In 26

the EcoReport tool this volume is divided by the total amount of 28405 kWh delivered 27

energy and multiplied with the number of batteries (4) to calculate the amount 28

corresponding with the amount of raw materials extracted for manufacturing 29

Aspects of the other BCs to be added in later update 30

5133 Use phase 32

The following aspects are taken into account to model direct and indirect losses during the 33

use phase 34

bull Direct losses in the battery and energy efficiency for BC1 (passenger car BEV) 35

Energy efficiency = ŋcoul x ŋv = 96 or 4 direct losses to be applied on the 36

functional unit (includes brake energy recovery) 37

bull Indirect losses in the battery charger for BC1 (passenger car BEV) 38

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

19

Charger efficiency = 95 or 5 direct losses to be applied to the total amount of 1

functional units minus the assumption on brake energy recovery (15 ) 2

bull Indirect losses from the thermal management system for BC1 (passenger car 3

BEV) 4

An indirect loss of 1 is assumed 5

Aspects of the other BCs to be added in later update 7

5134 End-of-Life phase 8

Default end-of-life (EOL) values from the MEErP EcoReport tool have been used They are 9

provided in Table 4 In the EcoReport tool end-of-life scenarios are assigned to material 10

categories It is not possible to assign end-of-life scenarios to components 11

For this product group many materials were not available in the EcoReport tool Those 12

materials were added as extra materials In total 539 of the battery weight consists of lsquoextra 13

materialsrsquo The MEErP assigns a default end-of-life scenario to these materials (see column 8 14

in Table 4) The default value for recycling within this material category is 60 10 goes to 15

incineration 29 to landfill and 1 is assumed to be reused The benefits of recycling are in 16

the MEErP EcoReport tool calculated as a percentage of the impacts from production For the 17

material category lsquoExtrarsquo MEErP assumes that the benefits of recycling are 40 of the impacts 18

from the production In other words if the impact of the production of the extra materials equals 19

1 kg CO2 eq in the impact category global warming than the benefits attributed to the recycling 20

of the same amount of extra materials in the impact category global warming are 10604 = 21

024 kg CO2 eq 22

23

Recycling of the different materials which are currently catalogued as lsquoExtra materialsrsquo will be 24

evaluated in more detail in a update of this report 25

For ferro and non-ferro metals the default assumption is that 94 is recycled at EOL 26

528 Critical Raw Materials 3

The Critical Raw Material (CRM) indicator is calculated according to MEErP 2011 There are 4

14 CRMs listed in the MEErP methodology however the number of CRMs for the EU has 5

increased to 27 in 20178 The only9 raw material within battery systems that is seen as a CRM 6

is cobalt Lithium is also used in battery systems but is still assessed as a non-critical raw 7

material by the EC10 The economic importance and the supply risk of lithium was in 2017 still 8

within the criticality threshold The criticality threshold can be passed when the demand for 9

lithium increases Therefore the CRM indicator for lithium is included in this preparatory study 10

The CRM indicator in the EcoReport tool is calculated by multiplying the weight of a CRM with 11

a characterisation factor (CF) For cobalt the CF is 002 kg Sb eq per kg cobalt The 12

EcoReport tool does not include a CF for lithium The factor for lithium can be calculated based 13

on the formula provided in the MEErP methodology report part 2 The formula is as follows 14

kg Sb equivalent per kg CRM = 451 (EU consumption [tonyr] Import dependency rate [] 15

Substitutability [] (1 ndash Recycling Rate [])) 16

All necessary values are given in the EC report lsquoStudy on the review of the list of Critical Raw 17

Materials Non-critical Raw Materials Factsheets 201711rsquo and summarized in the table below 18

55 Comparison with the Product Environmental Footprint 11

pilot 12

This section compares the results of the environmental LCA executed within this preparatory 13

study with the EcoReport 2014 tool according to the MEErP format with the results of the 14

Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) pilot on rechargeable batteries The PEF method was 15

developed by the Institute for Environment and Sustainability (IES) of the Joint Research 16

Centre (JRC) a Directorate General of the EC upon mandate of the EC Directorate General 17

Environment (DG ENV) The PEF is a harmonised methodology for the calculation of the 18

environmental performance of products (ie goods andor services) from a life cycle 19

perspective 20

Annex B contains a comparison of the MEErP environmental impact categories with PEF 21

environmental impact categories Both methodologies apply different principles (eg regarding 22

end-of-life) The comparison included in this preparatory study is just to check whether 23

the order of magnitude of the results is in the same range 24

In the rechargeable batteries PEF pilot the following four batteries were assessed Li-ion in 25

cordless power tools Li-ion in ICT NiMH in ICT and Li-ion in e-mobility Only the latter is 26

comparable with one of the BCs within this preparatory study ie BC1 the BEV passenger 27

car The only impact category that is directly comparable (same environmental impact and 28

expressed in a similar unit) is the impact category lsquoglobal warmingrsquo (see Annex B) Only the 29

impact caused in the production phase are compared as the scenarios for the 30

distribution use phase and EOL within the MEErP methodology are very different to 31

the one in the PEF pilot 32

3

The Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) method14 was developed by the EURpean 4

Commission as part of the Single Market for Green Products Initiative15 The EURpean 5

Commission proposes the PEF method as a common way of measuring environmental 6

performance of products During several pilot projects16 Product Environmental Footprint 7

Category Rules (PEFCR) were developed for several product groups One of these product 8

groups was the product group of lsquoRechargeable batteriesrsquo 9

10

In 2005 the Methodology for Ecodesign of Energy-using Products (MEEuP) was developed 11

for assessing whether and which ecodesign requirements are appropriate for energy-using 12

products under the Ecodesign Directive Following the revision of the Ecodesign Directive and 13

the extension of its scope to energy-related products in 2009 the Commission reviewed the 14

effectiveness of the MEEuP with a view to extend it to energy-related products The updated 15

methodology MEErP has been endorsed by the Ecodesign Consultation Forum of 20 January 16

2012 and shall be used as basis for ecodesign and energy labelling preparatory studies The 17

MEErP methodology consists of seven tasks of which Task 5 is on lsquoEnvironment and 18

Economicsrsquo For MEErP assessments a reporting tool called EcoReport was developed that 19

facilitates the necessary calculations to translate product-specific characteristics into 20

environmental impact indicators per product 21

22

This annex compares the impact categories used in the PEF methodology and the MEErP 23

methodology (subtask 52 environmental impact assessment) which have both been 24

developed to assess the environmental impact of products 25

26

Environmental impact categories 27

PEF considers 16 environmental impact categories MEErP considers 13 environmental 28

impact categories Table 13 gives an overview of the impact categories considered in both 29

methodologies Common impact categories are lsquoClimate changersquo lsquoParticulate matterrsquo 30

lsquoAcidificationrsquo lsquoEutrophicationrsquo and lsquoWater usersquo Only the impact category climate change is 31

expressed in a common unit 32

50 General introduction to Task 5 2

The objective of Task 5 is to define one or more average EU product(s) or a representative 3

product category as ldquoBase Caserdquo (BC) for the whole of the EU-28 Throughout the rest of the 4

study most of the environmental Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Life Cycle Costs (LCC) 5

analyses will be built on this BC The BC is a conscious abstraction of the reality necessary 6

for practical reasons (budgetary and time constraints) The question whether this abstraction 7

will lead to inadmissible conclusions for certain market segments will be addressed in the 8

impact and sensitivity analysis of Task 7 9

Task 5 consists of four subtasks 10

bull Subtask 51 ndash Product specific inputs 11

The product specific inputs are compiled by collecting the most appropriate information 12

from Task 1 to 4 Based on these inputs BCs are defined thus the description of a BC is 13

a synthesis of the previous tasks The following seven BCs are defined within this 14

preparatory study 15

bull Passenger car battery electric vehicle 16

bull Passenger car plug-in hybrid electric vehicle 17

bull Light commercial vehicle battery electric vehicle 18

bull Truck battery electric vehicle 19

bull Truck plug-in hybrid electric vehicle 20

bull Residential storage 21

bull Grid stabilisation 22

bull Subtask 52 ndash Base Case environmental impact assessment 23

An environmental LCA per BC is done with the Ecodesign EcoReport 2014 tool to 24

calculate the emissionresource categories in MEErP format for the different life cycle 25

stages of a battery BC The Critical Raw Material (CRM) indicator is also presented 26

bull Subtask 53 ndash Base Case Life Cycle Costs 27

In addition to environmental impacts the financial impact for the consumer and society 28

are assessed by means of an LCC 29

bull Subtask 54 ndash EU totals 30

In the final subtask of Task 5 the data from the LCA and LCC are aggregated to EU-28 31

level by using the stock and market data from Task 2 32

This Task 5 report concludes with a comparison with the Product Environmental Footprint 33

(PEF) pilot on rechargeable batteries (section 55) and recommendations to Task 6 (section 34

56) 35

This report is a first draft for stakeholder discussion only and will be updated in a later review 36

it serves as an example to show how results will be processed and to show the importance of 37

sourcing appropriate data in Tasks 2-4 The calculations are done with the MEErP method1 in 38

line with the PEF2 pilot as much as possible 39

The functional unit (FU) is set on the same unit as the one defined within the Product 2

Environmental Footprint Category Rules (PEFCR) on High Specific Energy Rechargeable 3

Batteries for Mobile Applications (version H February 2018) 4

The FU is 1 kWh (kilowatt-hour) of the total output energy delivered over the service life by 5

the battery system (measured in kWh) 6

5121 Introduction to Life Cycle Costs and Levelized Cost Of Energy 8

The MEErP methodology is usually based on an analysis of life cycle costs (LCC) An LCC 9

calculation provides a summation of all of the costs incurred along the life cycle of the product 10

This makes it relevant to consumers because this cost can then be related to potential savings 11

The Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) or LCC is a concept that aims to estimate the full cost of 12

a system Therefore the Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) and Operational Expenditure (OPEX) 13

are calculated CAPEX is used to acquire the battery system and consists mainly of product 14

and installation costs The OPEX is the ongoing cost of running the battery system and 15

consists mainly of costs for replacement 16

The purpose of the discount rate in LCCLCOE calculations is to convert all life cycle costs to 17

their net present value (NPV) taking into account OPEX for energy and other consumables 18

The LCC in MEErP studies is to be calculated using the following formula 19

119871119862119862[euro]= Σ119862119860119875119864119883+ Σ(119875119882119865 119909 119874119875119864119883) 20

where 21

LCC is the life cycle costing 22

CAPEX is the purchase price (including installation) or so-called capital expenditure 23

OPEX are the operating expenses per year or so-called operational expenditure 24

PWF is the present worth factor with PWF = (1 ndash 1(1+ r)N)r 25

N is the product life in years 26

r is the discount rate which represents the return that could be earned in alternative 27

investments 28

The Levelized Cost Of Energy (LCOE) is an economic assessment of the cost of the energy-29

generating system including all the costs over its lifetime initial investment operations and 30

maintenance cost of fuel and cost of capital The LCOE is defined for the purpose of these 31

The LCOE calculation of costs per kWh generated aligns with the FU defined in Task 1 In this 34

definition the life cycle environmental impacts of the battery system or component are 35

normalized to 1 kWh of electricity stored 36

As a consequence there is a direct relationship between LCOE LCC and the FU of a battery 37

system 38

LCOE = LCCFU 39

application 13

Definitions 14

An application can require several batteries over its economic life time in order to explain the 15

relationships and assumptions the following definitions will be used 16

bull Ass = Number of batteries for economic service life of application 17

bull Tbat = the life time of the battery system in years[y] 18

bull Tapp = the economic life time of the application in years [y] 19

bull Qua = Quantity of functional units for a battery system (IEC 61951-2 IEC 61960) 20

bull AS = The application service (AS) is the energy required by the application per service 21

life [kWh] 22

23

Assumptions for BC1 (passenger car BEV) 24

The quantity of functional unit of a battery system is related to the product quality (Task 4 and 25

Task 3) because these tasks are not completed yet the data from the PEF pilot3 are used 26

which are 27

bull Qua = 8000 kWh (quantity of functional units for a battery system) 28

bull 25 kWh energy delivered per cycle (battery system capacity used) 29

bull 80 average capacity per cycle 30

bull the corresponding battery capacity needed to deliver on average 25 kWh per cycle 31

with 80 DoD is 250811 = 34375 kWh 32

Task 3 will further provide data to model the base cases for the purpose of this first draft the 1

following assumptions will be used for passenger car BEV (BC1) 2

bull It is assumed that a 40 kW battery will deliver 25 kWh per cycle with 80 average 3

capacity along the life span 4

bull 19 kWh100 km (source Task 3 own estimate) 5

bull 13000 km annual mileage 6

bull 15 additional battery loading due to regenerative braking (source own estimate4) 7

bull 10 years economic life time of the car 8

Lifetime of battery and number of batteries for the application calculation for BC1 10

(passenger car BEV) 11

The total amount of kWh for the application is 13 000 19100 10 115 = 28405 kWh 12

delivered by the to the car over the entire lifespan 13

14

According to the previous assumptions the reference lifetime of a passenger car BEV battery 15

system is 16

Ass = int(284058000)+1 = 4 batteries or three replacements over its life time 17

The battery at the end of life of the BEV still has potential left to serve other cars or 18

applications (which can be relevant for exploring second life improvement options in 19

The MEErP lsquodiscount ratersquo is set at 4 following rules for EU impact assessments This will 25

be applied to all costs apart from electricity 26

The MEErP defined an lsquoescalation ratersquo for energy costs The default lsquoescalation ratersquo herein 27

os set at 4 in the case of this product group This means that for electricity costs a lsquocorrected 28

discount rate for electricityrsquo is used which is by default 0 29

Note The approach for escalation rate and electricity price is currently under review to align 1

with the reference scenarios from the PRIMES5 model 2

Electricity cost 3

The energy rates to be applied in the analysis are based on EURSTAT EURSTAT provides 4

electricity prices for both households and non-households 5

bull The EU-28 average price mdash a weighted average using the most recent (2016) data for 6

the quantity of electricity consumption by households mdash was euro0205 per kWh 7

(including taxes levies and VAT) (EURSTAT 2018) 8

bull The EU-28 average price mdash a weighted average using the most recent (2016) national 9

data for the quantity of consumption by non-household consumers mdash was euro0112 per 10

kWh (excluding refundable taxes and levies and VAT) (EURSTAT 2018) Non-11

household consumers relate to the medium standard non-household consumption 12

band with an annual consumption of electricity between 500 and 2 000 MWh 13

The EcoReport tool contains fixed impacts on weight basis for manufacturing of components 5

These data are used in the study The only variable that can be edited in this section is the 6

percentage of sheet metal scrap The default value given by the EcoReport tool is 25 This 7

value is reduced to 10 which is a recommended value for folded sheets mentioned in the 8

MEErP methodology report 9

5132 Distribution phase 11

For the distribution phase the Ecoreport tool requires the volume of the final packaged product 12

to be entered as an input Based on this volume the impact of transport of the product to the 13

site of installation is calculated In the distribution phase the final assembly per m3 packaged 14

final product is also taken into account in the EcoReport tool It also includes space heating 15

and lighting of offices executive travels ([row 62] in the EcoReport calculation sheet) per 16

product As in this preparatory study the FU is not 1 product but 1 kWh delivered energy by 17

the product the project team changed the calculations by dividing the calculated impact for 18

[row 62] by the total amount of 28405 kWh delivered energy and multiplying it with the number 19

of productsbatteries (4) 20

In addition replies to the EcoReport key questions regarding the product type and installation 21

were given as follows 22

BC1 (passenger car BEV) 23

bull lsquoIs it an ICT or consumer electronic product less than 15 kgrsquo - No 24

bull lsquoIs it an installed appliancersquo - Yes 25

bull The volume of the packaged battery is assumed to be 04 m3 (2 m 1 m 02 m) In 26

the EcoReport tool this volume is divided by the total amount of 28405 kWh delivered 27

energy and multiplied with the number of batteries (4) to calculate the amount 28

corresponding with the amount of raw materials extracted for manufacturing 29

Aspects of the other BCs to be added in later update 30

31

5133 Use phase 32

The following aspects are taken into account to model direct and indirect losses during the 33

use phase 34

bull Direct losses in the battery and energy efficiency for BC1 (passenger car BEV) 35

Energy efficiency = ŋcoul x ŋv = 96 or 4 direct losses to be applied on the 36

functional unit (includes brake energy recovery) 37

bull Indirect losses in the battery charger for BC1 (passenger car BEV) 38

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

19

Charger efficiency = 95 or 5 direct losses to be applied to the total amount of 1

functional units minus the assumption on brake energy recovery (15 ) 2

bull Indirect losses from the thermal management system for BC1 (passenger car 3

BEV) 4

An indirect loss of 1 is assumed 5

Aspects of the other BCs to be added in later update 7

5134 End-of-Life phase 8

Default end-of-life (EOL) values from the MEErP EcoReport tool have been used They are 9

provided in Table 4 In the EcoReport tool end-of-life scenarios are assigned to material 10

categories It is not possible to assign end-of-life scenarios to components 11

For this product group many materials were not available in the EcoReport tool Those 12

materials were added as extra materials In total 539 of the battery weight consists of lsquoextra 13

materialsrsquo The MEErP assigns a default end-of-life scenario to these materials (see column 8 14

in Table 4) The default value for recycling within this material category is 60 10 goes to 15

incineration 29 to landfill and 1 is assumed to be reused The benefits of recycling are in 16

the MEErP EcoReport tool calculated as a percentage of the impacts from production For the 17

material category lsquoExtrarsquo MEErP assumes that the benefits of recycling are 40 of the impacts 18

from the production In other words if the impact of the production of the extra materials equals 19

1 kg CO2 eq in the impact category global warming than the benefits attributed to the recycling 20

of the same amount of extra materials in the impact category global warming are 10604 = 21

024 kg CO2 eq 22

23

Recycling of the different materials which are currently catalogued as lsquoExtra materialsrsquo will be 24

evaluated in more detail in a update of this report 25

For ferro and non-ferro metals the default assumption is that 94 is recycled at EOL 26

528 Critical Raw Materials 3

The Critical Raw Material (CRM) indicator is calculated according to MEErP 2011 There are 4

14 CRMs listed in the MEErP methodology however the number of CRMs for the EU has 5

increased to 27 in 20178 The only9 raw material within battery systems that is seen as a CRM 6

is cobalt Lithium is also used in battery systems but is still assessed as a non-critical raw 7

material by the EC10 The economic importance and the supply risk of lithium was in 2017 still 8

within the criticality threshold The criticality threshold can be passed when the demand for 9

lithium increases Therefore the CRM indicator for lithium is included in this preparatory study 10

The CRM indicator in the EcoReport tool is calculated by multiplying the weight of a CRM with 11

a characterisation factor (CF) For cobalt the CF is 002 kg Sb eq per kg cobalt The 12

EcoReport tool does not include a CF for lithium The factor for lithium can be calculated based 13

on the formula provided in the MEErP methodology report part 2 The formula is as follows 14

kg Sb equivalent per kg CRM = 451 (EU consumption [tonyr] Import dependency rate [] 15

Substitutability [] (1 ndash Recycling Rate [])) 16

All necessary values are given in the EC report lsquoStudy on the review of the list of Critical Raw 17

55 Comparison with the Product Environmental Footprint 11

pilot 12

This section compares the results of the environmental LCA executed within this preparatory 13

study with the EcoReport 2014 tool according to the MEErP format with the results of the 14

Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) pilot on rechargeable batteries The PEF method was 15

developed by the Institute for Environment and Sustainability (IES) of the Joint Research 16

Centre (JRC) a Directorate General of the EC upon mandate of the EC Directorate General 17

Environment (DG ENV) The PEF is a harmonised methodology for the calculation of the 18

environmental performance of products (ie goods andor services) from a life cycle 19

perspective 20

Annex B contains a comparison of the MEErP environmental impact categories with PEF 21

environmental impact categories Both methodologies apply different principles (eg regarding 22

end-of-life) The comparison included in this preparatory study is just to check whether 23

the order of magnitude of the results is in the same range 24

In the rechargeable batteries PEF pilot the following four batteries were assessed Li-ion in 25

cordless power tools Li-ion in ICT NiMH in ICT and Li-ion in e-mobility Only the latter is 26

comparable with one of the BCs within this preparatory study ie BC1 the BEV passenger 27

car The only impact category that is directly comparable (same environmental impact and 28

expressed in a similar unit) is the impact category lsquoglobal warmingrsquo (see Annex B) Only the 29

impact caused in the production phase are compared as the scenarios for the 30

distribution use phase and EOL within the MEErP methodology are very different to 31

the one in the PEF pilot 32

Annex B Product environmental footprint compared to MEErP 1

Ecoreport tool 2

3

The Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) method14 was developed by the EURpean 4

Commission as part of the Single Market for Green Products Initiative15 The EURpean 5

Commission proposes the PEF method as a common way of measuring environmental 6

performance of products During several pilot projects16 Product Environmental Footprint 7

Category Rules (PEFCR) were developed for several product groups One of these product 8

groups was the product group of lsquoRechargeable batteriesrsquo 9

10

In 2005 the Methodology for Ecodesign of Energy-using Products (MEEuP) was developed 11

for assessing whether and which ecodesign requirements are appropriate for energy-using 12

products under the Ecodesign Directive Following the revision of the Ecodesign Directive and 13

the extension of its scope to energy-related products in 2009 the Commission reviewed the 14

effectiveness of the MEEuP with a view to extend it to energy-related products The updated 15

methodology MEErP has been endorsed by the Ecodesign Consultation Forum of 20 January 16

2012 and shall be used as basis for ecodesign and energy labelling preparatory studies The 17

MEErP methodology consists of seven tasks of which Task 5 is on lsquoEnvironment and 18

Economicsrsquo For MEErP assessments a reporting tool called EcoReport was developed that 19

facilitates the necessary calculations to translate product-specific characteristics into 20

environmental impact indicators per product 21

22

This annex compares the impact categories used in the PEF methodology and the MEErP 23

methodology (subtask 52 environmental impact assessment) which have both been 24

developed to assess the environmental impact of products 25

26

Environmental impact categories 27

PEF considers 16 environmental impact categories MEErP considers 13 environmental 28

impact categories Table 13 gives an overview of the impact categories considered in both 29

methodologies Common impact categories are lsquoClimate changersquo lsquoParticulate matterrsquo 30

lsquoAcidificationrsquo lsquoEutrophicationrsquo and lsquoWater usersquo Only the impact category climate change is 31

expressed in a common unit 32

50 General introduction to Task 5 2

The objective of Task 5 is to define one or more average EU product(s) or a representative 3

product category as ldquoBase Caserdquo (BC) for the whole of the EU-28 Throughout the rest of the 4

study most of the environmental Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Life Cycle Costs (LCC) 5

analyses will be built on this BC The BC is a conscious abstraction of the reality necessary 6

for practical reasons (budgetary and time constraints) The question whether this abstraction 7

will lead to inadmissible conclusions for certain market segments will be addressed in the 8

impact and sensitivity analysis of Task 7 9

Task 5 consists of four subtasks 10

bull Subtask 51 ndash Product specific inputs 11

The product specific inputs are compiled by collecting the most appropriate information 12

from Task 1 to 4 Based on these inputs BCs are defined thus the description of a BC is 13

a synthesis of the previous tasks The following seven BCs are defined within this 14

preparatory study 15

bull Passenger car battery electric vehicle 16

bull Passenger car plug-in hybrid electric vehicle 17

bull Light commercial vehicle battery electric vehicle 18

bull Truck battery electric vehicle 19

bull Truck plug-in hybrid electric vehicle 20

bull Residential storage 21

bull Grid stabilisation 22

bull Subtask 52 ndash Base Case environmental impact assessment 23

An environmental LCA per BC is done with the Ecodesign EcoReport 2014 tool to 24

calculate the emissionresource categories in MEErP format for the different life cycle 25

stages of a battery BC The Critical Raw Material (CRM) indicator is also presented 26

bull Subtask 53 ndash Base Case Life Cycle Costs 27

In addition to environmental impacts the financial impact for the consumer and society 28

are assessed by means of an LCC 29

bull Subtask 54 ndash EU totals 30

In the final subtask of Task 5 the data from the LCA and LCC are aggregated to EU-28 31

level by using the stock and market data from Task 2 32

This Task 5 report concludes with a comparison with the Product Environmental Footprint 33

(PEF) pilot on rechargeable batteries (section 55) and recommendations to Task 6 (section 34

56) 35

This report is a first draft for stakeholder discussion only and will be updated in a later review 36

it serves as an example to show how results will be processed and to show the importance of 37

sourcing appropriate data in Tasks 2-4 The calculations are done with the MEErP method1 in 38

line with the PEF2 pilot as much as possible 39

1

The functional unit (FU) is set on the same unit as the one defined within the Product 2

Environmental Footprint Category Rules (PEFCR) on High Specific Energy Rechargeable 3

Batteries for Mobile Applications (version H February 2018) 4

The FU is 1 kWh (kilowatt-hour) of the total output energy delivered over the service life by 5

the battery system (measured in kWh) 6

512 Economic input parameters and product service life 7

5121 Introduction to Life Cycle Costs and Levelized Cost Of Energy 8

The MEErP methodology is usually based on an analysis of life cycle costs (LCC) An LCC 9

calculation provides a summation of all of the costs incurred along the life cycle of the product 10

This makes it relevant to consumers because this cost can then be related to potential savings 11

The Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) or LCC is a concept that aims to estimate the full cost of 12

a system Therefore the Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) and Operational Expenditure (OPEX) 13

are calculated CAPEX is used to acquire the battery system and consists mainly of product 14

and installation costs The OPEX is the ongoing cost of running the battery system and 15

consists mainly of costs for replacement 16

The purpose of the discount rate in LCCLCOE calculations is to convert all life cycle costs to 17

their net present value (NPV) taking into account OPEX for energy and other consumables 18

The LCC in MEErP studies is to be calculated using the following formula 19

119871119862119862[euro]= Σ119862119860119875119864119883+ Σ(119875119882119865 119909 119874119875119864119883) 20

where 21

LCC is the life cycle costing 22

CAPEX is the purchase price (including installation) or so-called capital expenditure 23

OPEX are the operating expenses per year or so-called operational expenditure 24

PWF is the present worth factor with PWF = (1 ndash 1(1+ r)N)r 25

N is the product life in years 26

r is the discount rate which represents the return that could be earned in alternative 27

investments 28

The Levelized Cost Of Energy (LCOE) is an economic assessment of the cost of the energy-29

generating system including all the costs over its lifetime initial investment operations and 30

maintenance cost of fuel and cost of capital The LCOE is defined for the purpose of these 31

calculations as 32

LCOE[eurokWh] =net present value of sum of costs of generation over its life time

119904119906119898 119900119891 119890119897119890119888119905119903119894119888119886119897 119890119899119890119903119892119910 119901119903119900119889119906119888119890119889 119900119907119890119903 119894119905119904 119897119894119891119890 119905119894119898119890 33

The LCOE calculation of costs per kWh generated aligns with the FU defined in Task 1 In this 34

definition the life cycle environmental impacts of the battery system or component are 35

normalized to 1 kWh of electricity stored 36

As a consequence there is a direct relationship between LCOE LCC and the FU of a battery 37

system 38

LCOE = LCCFU 39

5124 Battery system service life and link to the economic life time of the 12

application 13

Definitions 14

An application can require several batteries over its economic life time in order to explain the 15

relationships and assumptions the following definitions will be used 16

bull Ass = Number of batteries for economic service life of application 17

bull Tbat = the life time of the battery system in years[y] 18

bull Tapp = the economic life time of the application in years [y] 19

bull Qua = Quantity of functional units for a battery system (IEC 61951-2 IEC 61960) 20

bull AS = The application service (AS) is the energy required by the application per service 21

life [kWh] 22

23

Assumptions for BC1 (passenger car BEV) 24

The quantity of functional unit of a battery system is related to the product quality (Task 4 and 25

Task 3) because these tasks are not completed yet the data from the PEF pilot3 are used 26

which are 27

bull Qua = 8000 kWh (quantity of functional units for a battery system) 28

bull 25 kWh energy delivered per cycle (battery system capacity used) 29

bull 80 average capacity per cycle 30

bull the corresponding battery capacity needed to deliver on average 25 kWh per cycle 31

with 80 DoD is 250811 = 34375 kWh 32

Task 3 will further provide data to model the base cases for the purpose of this first draft the 1

following assumptions will be used for passenger car BEV (BC1) 2

bull It is assumed that a 40 kW battery will deliver 25 kWh per cycle with 80 average 3

capacity along the life span 4

bull 19 kWh100 km (source Task 3 own estimate) 5

bull 13000 km annual mileage 6

bull 15 additional battery loading due to regenerative braking (source own estimate4) 7

bull 10 years economic life time of the car 8

9

Lifetime of battery and number of batteries for the application calculation for BC1 10

(passenger car BEV) 11

The total amount of kWh for the application is 13 000 19100 10 115 = 28405 kWh 12

delivered by the to the car over the entire lifespan 13

14

According to the previous assumptions the reference lifetime of a passenger car BEV battery 15

system is 16

Ass = int(284058000)+1 = 4 batteries or three replacements over its life time 17

The battery at the end of life of the BEV still has potential left to serve other cars or 18

applications (which can be relevant for exploring second life improvement options in 19

Task 6) 20

21

This battery life time appears low stakeholders are invited to source updated data

to Tasks 3 4 for a more accurate modelling

5125 Other economic parameters 23

Discount rate 24

The MEErP lsquodiscount ratersquo is set at 4 following rules for EU impact assessments This will 25

be applied to all costs apart from electricity 26

The MEErP defined an lsquoescalation ratersquo for energy costs The default lsquoescalation ratersquo herein 27

os set at 4 in the case of this product group This means that for electricity costs a lsquocorrected 28

discount rate for electricityrsquo is used which is by default 0 29

Note The approach for escalation rate and electricity price is currently under review to align 1

with the reference scenarios from the PRIMES5 model 2

Electricity cost 3

The energy rates to be applied in the analysis are based on EURSTAT EURSTAT provides 4

electricity prices for both households and non-households 5

bull The EU-28 average price mdash a weighted average using the most recent (2016) data for 6

the quantity of electricity consumption by households mdash was euro0205 per kWh 7

(including taxes levies and VAT) (EURSTAT 2018) 8

bull The EU-28 average price mdash a weighted average using the most recent (2016) national 9

data for the quantity of consumption by non-household consumers mdash was euro0112 per 10

kWh (excluding refundable taxes and levies and VAT) (EURSTAT 2018) Non-11

household consumers relate to the medium standard non-household consumption 12

band with an annual consumption of electricity between 500 and 2 000 MWh 13

bull The European electricity price reference scenarios from the PRIMES6 model 14

Note in al later review these cost can be further updated for photovoltaic storage systems and 15

hybrid vehicles 16

5132 Distribution phase 11

For the distribution phase the Ecoreport tool requires the volume of the final packaged product 12

to be entered as an input Based on this volume the impact of transport of the product to the 13

site of installation is calculated In the distribution phase the final assembly per m3 packaged 14

final product is also taken into account in the EcoReport tool It also includes space heating 15

and lighting of offices executive travels ([row 62] in the EcoReport calculation sheet) per 16

product As in this preparatory study the FU is not 1 product but 1 kWh delivered energy by 17

the product the project team changed the calculations by dividing the calculated impact for 18

[row 62] by the total amount of 28405 kWh delivered energy and multiplying it with the number 19

of productsbatteries (4) 20

In addition replies to the EcoReport key questions regarding the product type and installation 21

were given as follows 22

BC1 (passenger car BEV) 23

bull lsquoIs it an ICT or consumer electronic product less than 15 kgrsquo - No 24

bull lsquoIs it an installed appliancersquo - Yes 25

bull The volume of the packaged battery is assumed to be 04 m3 (2 m 1 m 02 m) In 26

the EcoReport tool this volume is divided by the total amount of 28405 kWh delivered 27

energy and multiplied with the number of batteries (4) to calculate the amount 28

corresponding with the amount of raw materials extracted for manufacturing 29

5133 Use phase 32

The following aspects are taken into account to model direct and indirect losses during the 33

use phase 34

bull Direct losses in the battery and energy efficiency for BC1 (passenger car BEV) 35

Energy efficiency = ŋcoul x ŋv = 96 or 4 direct losses to be applied on the 36

functional unit (includes brake energy recovery) 37

bull Indirect losses in the battery charger for BC1 (passenger car BEV) 38

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

19

Charger efficiency = 95 or 5 direct losses to be applied to the total amount of 1

functional units minus the assumption on brake energy recovery (15 ) 2

bull Indirect losses from the thermal management system for BC1 (passenger car 3

BEV) 4

An indirect loss of 1 is assumed 5

Aspects of the other BCs to be added in later update 7

5134 End-of-Life phase 8

Default end-of-life (EOL) values from the MEErP EcoReport tool have been used They are 9

provided in Table 4 In the EcoReport tool end-of-life scenarios are assigned to material 10

categories It is not possible to assign end-of-life scenarios to components 11

For this product group many materials were not available in the EcoReport tool Those 12

materials were added as extra materials In total 539 of the battery weight consists of lsquoextra 13

materialsrsquo The MEErP assigns a default end-of-life scenario to these materials (see column 8 14

in Table 4) The default value for recycling within this material category is 60 10 goes to 15

incineration 29 to landfill and 1 is assumed to be reused The benefits of recycling are in 16

the MEErP EcoReport tool calculated as a percentage of the impacts from production For the 17

material category lsquoExtrarsquo MEErP assumes that the benefits of recycling are 40 of the impacts 18

from the production In other words if the impact of the production of the extra materials equals 19

1 kg CO2 eq in the impact category global warming than the benefits attributed to the recycling 20

of the same amount of extra materials in the impact category global warming are 10604 = 21

024 kg CO2 eq 22

23

Recycling of the different materials which are currently catalogued as lsquoExtra materialsrsquo will be 24

evaluated in more detail in a update of this report 25

For ferro and non-ferro metals the default assumption is that 94 is recycled at EOL 26

528 Critical Raw Materials 3

The Critical Raw Material (CRM) indicator is calculated according to MEErP 2011 There are 4

14 CRMs listed in the MEErP methodology however the number of CRMs for the EU has 5

increased to 27 in 20178 The only9 raw material within battery systems that is seen as a CRM 6

is cobalt Lithium is also used in battery systems but is still assessed as a non-critical raw 7

material by the EC10 The economic importance and the supply risk of lithium was in 2017 still 8

within the criticality threshold The criticality threshold can be passed when the demand for 9

lithium increases Therefore the CRM indicator for lithium is included in this preparatory study 10

The CRM indicator in the EcoReport tool is calculated by multiplying the weight of a CRM with 11

a characterisation factor (CF) For cobalt the CF is 002 kg Sb eq per kg cobalt The 12

EcoReport tool does not include a CF for lithium The factor for lithium can be calculated based 13

on the formula provided in the MEErP methodology report part 2 The formula is as follows 14

kg Sb equivalent per kg CRM = 451 (EU consumption [tonyr] Import dependency rate [] 15

Substitutability [] (1 ndash Recycling Rate [])) 16

All necessary values are given in the EC report lsquoStudy on the review of the list of Critical Raw 17

Materials Non-critical Raw Materials Factsheets 201711rsquo and summarized in the table below 18

55 Comparison with the Product Environmental Footprint 11

pilot 12

This section compares the results of the environmental LCA executed within this preparatory 13

study with the EcoReport 2014 tool according to the MEErP format with the results of the 14

Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) pilot on rechargeable batteries The PEF method was 15

developed by the Institute for Environment and Sustainability (IES) of the Joint Research 16

Centre (JRC) a Directorate General of the EC upon mandate of the EC Directorate General 17

Environment (DG ENV) The PEF is a harmonised methodology for the calculation of the 18

environmental performance of products (ie goods andor services) from a life cycle 19

perspective 20

Annex B contains a comparison of the MEErP environmental impact categories with PEF 21

environmental impact categories Both methodologies apply different principles (eg regarding 22

end-of-life) The comparison included in this preparatory study is just to check whether 23

the order of magnitude of the results is in the same range 24

In the rechargeable batteries PEF pilot the following four batteries were assessed Li-ion in 25

cordless power tools Li-ion in ICT NiMH in ICT and Li-ion in e-mobility Only the latter is 26

comparable with one of the BCs within this preparatory study ie BC1 the BEV passenger 27

car The only impact category that is directly comparable (same environmental impact and 28

expressed in a similar unit) is the impact category lsquoglobal warmingrsquo (see Annex B) Only the 29

impact caused in the production phase are compared as the scenarios for the 30

distribution use phase and EOL within the MEErP methodology are very different to 31

the one in the PEF pilot 32

Annex B Product environmental footprint compared to MEErP 1

Ecoreport tool 2

3

The Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) method14 was developed by the EURpean 4

Commission as part of the Single Market for Green Products Initiative15 The EURpean 5

Commission proposes the PEF method as a common way of measuring environmental 6

performance of products During several pilot projects16 Product Environmental Footprint 7

Category Rules (PEFCR) were developed for several product groups One of these product 8

groups was the product group of lsquoRechargeable batteriesrsquo 9

10

In 2005 the Methodology for Ecodesign of Energy-using Products (MEEuP) was developed 11

for assessing whether and which ecodesign requirements are appropriate for energy-using 12

products under the Ecodesign Directive Following the revision of the Ecodesign Directive and 13

the extension of its scope to energy-related products in 2009 the Commission reviewed the 14

effectiveness of the MEEuP with a view to extend it to energy-related products The updated 15

methodology MEErP has been endorsed by the Ecodesign Consultation Forum of 20 January 16

2012 and shall be used as basis for ecodesign and energy labelling preparatory studies The 17

MEErP methodology consists of seven tasks of which Task 5 is on lsquoEnvironment and 18

Economicsrsquo For MEErP assessments a reporting tool called EcoReport was developed that 19

facilitates the necessary calculations to translate product-specific characteristics into 20

environmental impact indicators per product 21

22

This annex compares the impact categories used in the PEF methodology and the MEErP 23

methodology (subtask 52 environmental impact assessment) which have both been 24

developed to assess the environmental impact of products 25

26

Environmental impact categories 27

PEF considers 16 environmental impact categories MEErP considers 13 environmental 28

impact categories Table 13 gives an overview of the impact categories considered in both 29

methodologies Common impact categories are lsquoClimate changersquo lsquoParticulate matterrsquo 30

lsquoAcidificationrsquo lsquoEutrophicationrsquo and lsquoWater usersquo Only the impact category climate change is 31

expressed in a common unit 32

50 General introduction to Task 5 2

The objective of Task 5 is to define one or more average EU product(s) or a representative 3

product category as ldquoBase Caserdquo (BC) for the whole of the EU-28 Throughout the rest of the 4

study most of the environmental Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Life Cycle Costs (LCC) 5

analyses will be built on this BC The BC is a conscious abstraction of the reality necessary 6

for practical reasons (budgetary and time constraints) The question whether this abstraction 7

will lead to inadmissible conclusions for certain market segments will be addressed in the 8

impact and sensitivity analysis of Task 7 9

Task 5 consists of four subtasks 10

bull Subtask 51 ndash Product specific inputs 11

The product specific inputs are compiled by collecting the most appropriate information 12

from Task 1 to 4 Based on these inputs BCs are defined thus the description of a BC is 13

a synthesis of the previous tasks The following seven BCs are defined within this 14

preparatory study 15

bull Passenger car battery electric vehicle 16

bull Passenger car plug-in hybrid electric vehicle 17

bull Light commercial vehicle battery electric vehicle 18

bull Truck battery electric vehicle 19

bull Truck plug-in hybrid electric vehicle 20

bull Residential storage 21

bull Grid stabilisation 22

bull Subtask 52 ndash Base Case environmental impact assessment 23

An environmental LCA per BC is done with the Ecodesign EcoReport 2014 tool to 24

calculate the emissionresource categories in MEErP format for the different life cycle 25

stages of a battery BC The Critical Raw Material (CRM) indicator is also presented 26

bull Subtask 53 ndash Base Case Life Cycle Costs 27

In addition to environmental impacts the financial impact for the consumer and society 28

are assessed by means of an LCC 29

bull Subtask 54 ndash EU totals 30

In the final subtask of Task 5 the data from the LCA and LCC are aggregated to EU-28 31

level by using the stock and market data from Task 2 32

This Task 5 report concludes with a comparison with the Product Environmental Footprint 33

(PEF) pilot on rechargeable batteries (section 55) and recommendations to Task 6 (section 34

56) 35

This report is a first draft for stakeholder discussion only and will be updated in a later review 36

it serves as an example to show how results will be processed and to show the importance of 37

sourcing appropriate data in Tasks 2-4 The calculations are done with the MEErP method1 in 38

line with the PEF2 pilot as much as possible 39

The functional unit (FU) is set on the same unit as the one defined within the Product 2

Environmental Footprint Category Rules (PEFCR) on High Specific Energy Rechargeable 3

Batteries for Mobile Applications (version H February 2018) 4

The FU is 1 kWh (kilowatt-hour) of the total output energy delivered over the service life by 5

the battery system (measured in kWh) 6

512 Economic input parameters and product service life 7

5121 Introduction to Life Cycle Costs and Levelized Cost Of Energy 8

The MEErP methodology is usually based on an analysis of life cycle costs (LCC) An LCC 9

calculation provides a summation of all of the costs incurred along the life cycle of the product 10

This makes it relevant to consumers because this cost can then be related to potential savings 11

The Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) or LCC is a concept that aims to estimate the full cost of 12

a system Therefore the Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) and Operational Expenditure (OPEX) 13

are calculated CAPEX is used to acquire the battery system and consists mainly of product 14

and installation costs The OPEX is the ongoing cost of running the battery system and 15

consists mainly of costs for replacement 16

The purpose of the discount rate in LCCLCOE calculations is to convert all life cycle costs to 17

their net present value (NPV) taking into account OPEX for energy and other consumables 18

The LCC in MEErP studies is to be calculated using the following formula 19

119871119862119862[euro]= Σ119862119860119875119864119883+ Σ(119875119882119865 119909 119874119875119864119883) 20

where 21

LCC is the life cycle costing 22

CAPEX is the purchase price (including installation) or so-called capital expenditure 23

OPEX are the operating expenses per year or so-called operational expenditure 24

PWF is the present worth factor with PWF = (1 ndash 1(1+ r)N)r 25

N is the product life in years 26

r is the discount rate which represents the return that could be earned in alternative 27

investments 28

The Levelized Cost Of Energy (LCOE) is an economic assessment of the cost of the energy-29

generating system including all the costs over its lifetime initial investment operations and 30

maintenance cost of fuel and cost of capital The LCOE is defined for the purpose of these 31

calculations as 32

LCOE[eurokWh] =net present value of sum of costs of generation over its life time

119904119906119898 119900119891 119890119897119890119888119905119903119894119888119886119897 119890119899119890119903119892119910 119901119903119900119889119906119888119890119889 119900119907119890119903 119894119905119904 119897119894119891119890 119905119894119898119890 33

The LCOE calculation of costs per kWh generated aligns with the FU defined in Task 1 In this 34

definition the life cycle environmental impacts of the battery system or component are 35

normalized to 1 kWh of electricity stored 36

As a consequence there is a direct relationship between LCOE LCC and the FU of a battery 37

system 38

LCOE = LCCFU 39

5124 Battery system service life and link to the economic life time of the 12

application 13

Definitions 14

An application can require several batteries over its economic life time in order to explain the 15

relationships and assumptions the following definitions will be used 16

bull Ass = Number of batteries for economic service life of application 17

bull Tbat = the life time of the battery system in years[y] 18

bull Tapp = the economic life time of the application in years [y] 19

bull Qua = Quantity of functional units for a battery system (IEC 61951-2 IEC 61960) 20

bull AS = The application service (AS) is the energy required by the application per service 21

life [kWh] 22

23

Assumptions for BC1 (passenger car BEV) 24

The quantity of functional unit of a battery system is related to the product quality (Task 4 and 25

Task 3) because these tasks are not completed yet the data from the PEF pilot3 are used 26

which are 27

bull Qua = 8000 kWh (quantity of functional units for a battery system) 28

bull 25 kWh energy delivered per cycle (battery system capacity used) 29

bull 80 average capacity per cycle 30

bull the corresponding battery capacity needed to deliver on average 25 kWh per cycle 31

with 80 DoD is 250811 = 34375 kWh 32

Task 3 will further provide data to model the base cases for the purpose of this first draft the 1

following assumptions will be used for passenger car BEV (BC1) 2

bull It is assumed that a 40 kW battery will deliver 25 kWh per cycle with 80 average 3

capacity along the life span 4

bull 19 kWh100 km (source Task 3 own estimate) 5

bull 13000 km annual mileage 6

bull 15 additional battery loading due to regenerative braking (source own estimate4) 7

bull 10 years economic life time of the car 8

Lifetime of battery and number of batteries for the application calculation for BC1 10

(passenger car BEV) 11

The total amount of kWh for the application is 13 000 19100 10 115 = 28405 kWh 12

delivered by the to the car over the entire lifespan 13

14

According to the previous assumptions the reference lifetime of a passenger car BEV battery 15

system is 16

Ass = int(284058000)+1 = 4 batteries or three replacements over its life time 17

The battery at the end of life of the BEV still has potential left to serve other cars or 18

applications (which can be relevant for exploring second life improvement options in 19

Task 6) 20

21

This battery life time appears low stakeholders are invited to source updated data

to Tasks 3 4 for a more accurate modelling

Discount rate 24

The MEErP lsquodiscount ratersquo is set at 4 following rules for EU impact assessments This will 25

be applied to all costs apart from electricity 26

The MEErP defined an lsquoescalation ratersquo for energy costs The default lsquoescalation ratersquo herein 27

os set at 4 in the case of this product group This means that for electricity costs a lsquocorrected 28

discount rate for electricityrsquo is used which is by default 0 29

Note The approach for escalation rate and electricity price is currently under review to align 1

with the reference scenarios from the PRIMES5 model 2

Electricity cost 3

The energy rates to be applied in the analysis are based on EURSTAT EURSTAT provides 4

electricity prices for both households and non-households 5

bull The EU-28 average price mdash a weighted average using the most recent (2016) data for 6

the quantity of electricity consumption by households mdash was euro0205 per kWh 7

data for the quantity of consumption by non-household consumers mdash was euro0112 per 10

kWh (excluding refundable taxes and levies and VAT) (EURSTAT 2018) Non-11

household consumers relate to the medium standard non-household consumption 12

band with an annual consumption of electricity between 500 and 2 000 MWh 13

51318 Additional material loss during production phase 4

The EcoReport tool contains fixed impacts on weight basis for manufacturing of components 5

These data are used in the study The only variable that can be edited in this section is the 6

percentage of sheet metal scrap The default value given by the EcoReport tool is 25 This 7

value is reduced to 10 which is a recommended value for folded sheets mentioned in the 8

MEErP methodology report 9

10

5132 Distribution phase 11

For the distribution phase the Ecoreport tool requires the volume of the final packaged product 12

to be entered as an input Based on this volume the impact of transport of the product to the 13

site of installation is calculated In the distribution phase the final assembly per m3 packaged 14

final product is also taken into account in the EcoReport tool It also includes space heating 15

and lighting of offices executive travels ([row 62] in the EcoReport calculation sheet) per 16

product As in this preparatory study the FU is not 1 product but 1 kWh delivered energy by 17

the product the project team changed the calculations by dividing the calculated impact for 18

[row 62] by the total amount of 28405 kWh delivered energy and multiplying it with the number 19

of productsbatteries (4) 20

In addition replies to the EcoReport key questions regarding the product type and installation 21

were given as follows 22

BC1 (passenger car BEV) 23

bull lsquoIs it an ICT or consumer electronic product less than 15 kgrsquo - No 24

bull lsquoIs it an installed appliancersquo - Yes 25

bull The volume of the packaged battery is assumed to be 04 m3 (2 m 1 m 02 m) In 26

the EcoReport tool this volume is divided by the total amount of 28405 kWh delivered 27

energy and multiplied with the number of batteries (4) to calculate the amount 28

corresponding with the amount of raw materials extracted for manufacturing 29

Aspects of the other BCs to be added in later update 30

31

5133 Use phase 32

The following aspects are taken into account to model direct and indirect losses during the 33

use phase 34

bull Direct losses in the battery and energy efficiency for BC1 (passenger car BEV) 35

Energy efficiency = ŋcoul x ŋv = 96 or 4 direct losses to be applied on the 36

functional unit (includes brake energy recovery) 37

bull Indirect losses in the battery charger for BC1 (passenger car BEV) 38

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

19

Charger efficiency = 95 or 5 direct losses to be applied to the total amount of 1

functional units minus the assumption on brake energy recovery (15 ) 2

bull Indirect losses from the thermal management system for BC1 (passenger car 3

BEV) 4

An indirect loss of 1 is assumed 5

6

Aspects of the other BCs to be added in later update 7

5134 End-of-Life phase 8

Default end-of-life (EOL) values from the MEErP EcoReport tool have been used They are 9

provided in Table 4 In the EcoReport tool end-of-life scenarios are assigned to material 10

categories It is not possible to assign end-of-life scenarios to components 11

For this product group many materials were not available in the EcoReport tool Those 12

materials were added as extra materials In total 539 of the battery weight consists of lsquoextra 13

materialsrsquo The MEErP assigns a default end-of-life scenario to these materials (see column 8 14

in Table 4) The default value for recycling within this material category is 60 10 goes to 15

incineration 29 to landfill and 1 is assumed to be reused The benefits of recycling are in 16

the MEErP EcoReport tool calculated as a percentage of the impacts from production For the 17

material category lsquoExtrarsquo MEErP assumes that the benefits of recycling are 40 of the impacts 18

from the production In other words if the impact of the production of the extra materials equals 19

1 kg CO2 eq in the impact category global warming than the benefits attributed to the recycling 20

of the same amount of extra materials in the impact category global warming are 10604 = 21

024 kg CO2 eq 22

23

Recycling of the different materials which are currently catalogued as lsquoExtra materialsrsquo will be 24

evaluated in more detail in a update of this report 25

For ferro and non-ferro metals the default assumption is that 94 is recycled at EOL 26

528 Critical Raw Materials 3

The Critical Raw Material (CRM) indicator is calculated according to MEErP 2011 There are 4

14 CRMs listed in the MEErP methodology however the number of CRMs for the EU has 5

increased to 27 in 20178 The only9 raw material within battery systems that is seen as a CRM 6

is cobalt Lithium is also used in battery systems but is still assessed as a non-critical raw 7

material by the EC10 The economic importance and the supply risk of lithium was in 2017 still 8

within the criticality threshold The criticality threshold can be passed when the demand for 9

lithium increases Therefore the CRM indicator for lithium is included in this preparatory study 10

The CRM indicator in the EcoReport tool is calculated by multiplying the weight of a CRM with 11

a characterisation factor (CF) For cobalt the CF is 002 kg Sb eq per kg cobalt The 12

EcoReport tool does not include a CF for lithium The factor for lithium can be calculated based 13

on the formula provided in the MEErP methodology report part 2 The formula is as follows 14

kg Sb equivalent per kg CRM = 451 (EU consumption [tonyr] Import dependency rate [] 15

Substitutability [] (1 ndash Recycling Rate [])) 16

All necessary values are given in the EC report lsquoStudy on the review of the list of Critical Raw 17

Materials Non-critical Raw Materials Factsheets 201711rsquo and summarized in the table below 18

55 Comparison with the Product Environmental Footprint 11

pilot 12

This section compares the results of the environmental LCA executed within this preparatory 13

study with the EcoReport 2014 tool according to the MEErP format with the results of the 14

Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) pilot on rechargeable batteries The PEF method was 15

developed by the Institute for Environment and Sustainability (IES) of the Joint Research 16

Centre (JRC) a Directorate General of the EC upon mandate of the EC Directorate General 17

Environment (DG ENV) The PEF is a harmonised methodology for the calculation of the 18

environmental performance of products (ie goods andor services) from a life cycle 19

perspective 20

Annex B contains a comparison of the MEErP environmental impact categories with PEF 21

environmental impact categories Both methodologies apply different principles (eg regarding 22

end-of-life) The comparison included in this preparatory study is just to check whether 23

the order of magnitude of the results is in the same range 24

In the rechargeable batteries PEF pilot the following four batteries were assessed Li-ion in 25

cordless power tools Li-ion in ICT NiMH in ICT and Li-ion in e-mobility Only the latter is 26

comparable with one of the BCs within this preparatory study ie BC1 the BEV passenger 27

car The only impact category that is directly comparable (same environmental impact and 28

expressed in a similar unit) is the impact category lsquoglobal warmingrsquo (see Annex B) Only the 29

impact caused in the production phase are compared as the scenarios for the 30

distribution use phase and EOL within the MEErP methodology are very different to 31

the one in the PEF pilot 32

3

The Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) method14 was developed by the EURpean 4

Commission as part of the Single Market for Green Products Initiative15 The EURpean 5

Commission proposes the PEF method as a common way of measuring environmental 6

performance of products During several pilot projects16 Product Environmental Footprint 7

Category Rules (PEFCR) were developed for several product groups One of these product 8

groups was the product group of lsquoRechargeable batteriesrsquo 9

10

In 2005 the Methodology for Ecodesign of Energy-using Products (MEEuP) was developed 11

for assessing whether and which ecodesign requirements are appropriate for energy-using 12

products under the Ecodesign Directive Following the revision of the Ecodesign Directive and 13

the extension of its scope to energy-related products in 2009 the Commission reviewed the 14

effectiveness of the MEEuP with a view to extend it to energy-related products The updated 15

methodology MEErP has been endorsed by the Ecodesign Consultation Forum of 20 January 16

2012 and shall be used as basis for ecodesign and energy labelling preparatory studies The 17

MEErP methodology consists of seven tasks of which Task 5 is on lsquoEnvironment and 18

Economicsrsquo For MEErP assessments a reporting tool called EcoReport was developed that 19

facilitates the necessary calculations to translate product-specific characteristics into 20

environmental impact indicators per product 21

22

This annex compares the impact categories used in the PEF methodology and the MEErP 23

methodology (subtask 52 environmental impact assessment) which have both been 24

developed to assess the environmental impact of products 25

26

Environmental impact categories 27

PEF considers 16 environmental impact categories MEErP considers 13 environmental 28

impact categories Table 13 gives an overview of the impact categories considered in both 29

methodologies Common impact categories are lsquoClimate changersquo lsquoParticulate matterrsquo 30

lsquoAcidificationrsquo lsquoEutrophicationrsquo and lsquoWater usersquo Only the impact category climate change is 31

expressed in a common unit 32

5 Task 5 Environment and economics 1

50 General introduction to Task 5 2

The objective of Task 5 is to define one or more average EU product(s) or a representative 3

product category as ldquoBase Caserdquo (BC) for the whole of the EU-28 Throughout the rest of the 4

study most of the environmental Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Life Cycle Costs (LCC) 5

analyses will be built on this BC The BC is a conscious abstraction of the reality necessary 6

for practical reasons (budgetary and time constraints) The question whether this abstraction 7

will lead to inadmissible conclusions for certain market segments will be addressed in the 8

impact and sensitivity analysis of Task 7 9

Task 5 consists of four subtasks 10

bull Subtask 51 ndash Product specific inputs 11

The product specific inputs are compiled by collecting the most appropriate information 12

from Task 1 to 4 Based on these inputs BCs are defined thus the description of a BC is 13

a synthesis of the previous tasks The following seven BCs are defined within this 14

preparatory study 15

bull Passenger car battery electric vehicle 16

bull Passenger car plug-in hybrid electric vehicle 17

bull Light commercial vehicle battery electric vehicle 18

bull Truck battery electric vehicle 19

bull Truck plug-in hybrid electric vehicle 20

bull Residential storage 21

bull Grid stabilisation 22

bull Subtask 52 ndash Base Case environmental impact assessment 23

An environmental LCA per BC is done with the Ecodesign EcoReport 2014 tool to 24

calculate the emissionresource categories in MEErP format for the different life cycle 25

stages of a battery BC The Critical Raw Material (CRM) indicator is also presented 26

bull Subtask 53 ndash Base Case Life Cycle Costs 27

In addition to environmental impacts the financial impact for the consumer and society 28

are assessed by means of an LCC 29

bull Subtask 54 ndash EU totals 30

In the final subtask of Task 5 the data from the LCA and LCC are aggregated to EU-28 31

level by using the stock and market data from Task 2 32

This Task 5 report concludes with a comparison with the Product Environmental Footprint 33

(PEF) pilot on rechargeable batteries (section 55) and recommendations to Task 6 (section 34

56) 35

This report is a first draft for stakeholder discussion only and will be updated in a later review 36

it serves as an example to show how results will be processed and to show the importance of 37

sourcing appropriate data in Tasks 2-4 The calculations are done with the MEErP method1 in 38

line with the PEF2 pilot as much as possible 39

5121 Introduction to Life Cycle Costs and Levelized Cost Of Energy 8

The MEErP methodology is usually based on an analysis of life cycle costs (LCC) An LCC 9

calculation provides a summation of all of the costs incurred along the life cycle of the product 10

This makes it relevant to consumers because this cost can then be related to potential savings 11

The Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) or LCC is a concept that aims to estimate the full cost of 12

a system Therefore the Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) and Operational Expenditure (OPEX) 13

are calculated CAPEX is used to acquire the battery system and consists mainly of product 14

and installation costs The OPEX is the ongoing cost of running the battery system and 15

consists mainly of costs for replacement 16

The purpose of the discount rate in LCCLCOE calculations is to convert all life cycle costs to 17

their net present value (NPV) taking into account OPEX for energy and other consumables 18

The LCC in MEErP studies is to be calculated using the following formula 19

119871119862119862[euro]= Σ119862119860119875119864119883+ Σ(119875119882119865 119909 119874119875119864119883) 20

where 21

LCC is the life cycle costing 22

CAPEX is the purchase price (including installation) or so-called capital expenditure 23

OPEX are the operating expenses per year or so-called operational expenditure 24

PWF is the present worth factor with PWF = (1 ndash 1(1+ r)N)r 25

N is the product life in years 26

r is the discount rate which represents the return that could be earned in alternative 27

investments 28

The Levelized Cost Of Energy (LCOE) is an economic assessment of the cost of the energy-29

generating system including all the costs over its lifetime initial investment operations and 30

maintenance cost of fuel and cost of capital The LCOE is defined for the purpose of these 31

The LCOE calculation of costs per kWh generated aligns with the FU defined in Task 1 In this 34

definition the life cycle environmental impacts of the battery system or component are 35

normalized to 1 kWh of electricity stored 36

As a consequence there is a direct relationship between LCOE LCC and the FU of a battery 37

system 38

LCOE = LCCFU 39

application 13

Definitions 14

An application can require several batteries over its economic life time in order to explain the 15

relationships and assumptions the following definitions will be used 16

bull Ass = Number of batteries for economic service life of application 17

bull Tbat = the life time of the battery system in years[y] 18

bull Tapp = the economic life time of the application in years [y] 19

bull Qua = Quantity of functional units for a battery system (IEC 61951-2 IEC 61960) 20

bull AS = The application service (AS) is the energy required by the application per service 21

life [kWh] 22

23

Assumptions for BC1 (passenger car BEV) 24

The quantity of functional unit of a battery system is related to the product quality (Task 4 and 25

Task 3) because these tasks are not completed yet the data from the PEF pilot3 are used 26

which are 27

bull Qua = 8000 kWh (quantity of functional units for a battery system) 28

bull 25 kWh energy delivered per cycle (battery system capacity used) 29

bull 80 average capacity per cycle 30

bull the corresponding battery capacity needed to deliver on average 25 kWh per cycle 31

with 80 DoD is 250811 = 34375 kWh 32

Task 3 will further provide data to model the base cases for the purpose of this first draft the 1

following assumptions will be used for passenger car BEV (BC1) 2

bull It is assumed that a 40 kW battery will deliver 25 kWh per cycle with 80 average 3

capacity along the life span 4

bull 19 kWh100 km (source Task 3 own estimate) 5

bull 13000 km annual mileage 6

bull 15 additional battery loading due to regenerative braking (source own estimate4) 7

bull 10 years economic life time of the car 8

Lifetime of battery and number of batteries for the application calculation for BC1 10

(passenger car BEV) 11

The total amount of kWh for the application is 13 000 19100 10 115 = 28405 kWh 12

delivered by the to the car over the entire lifespan 13

14

According to the previous assumptions the reference lifetime of a passenger car BEV battery 15

system is 16

Ass = int(284058000)+1 = 4 batteries or three replacements over its life time 17

The battery at the end of life of the BEV still has potential left to serve other cars or 18

applications (which can be relevant for exploring second life improvement options in 19

The MEErP lsquodiscount ratersquo is set at 4 following rules for EU impact assessments This will 25

be applied to all costs apart from electricity 26

The MEErP defined an lsquoescalation ratersquo for energy costs The default lsquoescalation ratersquo herein 27

os set at 4 in the case of this product group This means that for electricity costs a lsquocorrected 28

discount rate for electricityrsquo is used which is by default 0 29

Note The approach for escalation rate and electricity price is currently under review to align 1

with the reference scenarios from the PRIMES5 model 2

Electricity cost 3

The energy rates to be applied in the analysis are based on EURSTAT EURSTAT provides 4

electricity prices for both households and non-households 5

bull The EU-28 average price mdash a weighted average using the most recent (2016) data for 6

the quantity of electricity consumption by households mdash was euro0205 per kWh 7

(including taxes levies and VAT) (EURSTAT 2018) 8

bull The EU-28 average price mdash a weighted average using the most recent (2016) national 9

data for the quantity of consumption by non-household consumers mdash was euro0112 per 10

kWh (excluding refundable taxes and levies and VAT) (EURSTAT 2018) Non-11

household consumers relate to the medium standard non-household consumption 12

band with an annual consumption of electricity between 500 and 2 000 MWh 13

The EcoReport tool contains fixed impacts on weight basis for manufacturing of components 5

These data are used in the study The only variable that can be edited in this section is the 6

percentage of sheet metal scrap The default value given by the EcoReport tool is 25 This 7

value is reduced to 10 which is a recommended value for folded sheets mentioned in the 8

MEErP methodology report 9

5132 Distribution phase 11

For the distribution phase the Ecoreport tool requires the volume of the final packaged product 12

to be entered as an input Based on this volume the impact of transport of the product to the 13

site of installation is calculated In the distribution phase the final assembly per m3 packaged 14

final product is also taken into account in the EcoReport tool It also includes space heating 15

and lighting of offices executive travels ([row 62] in the EcoReport calculation sheet) per 16

product As in this preparatory study the FU is not 1 product but 1 kWh delivered energy by 17

the product the project team changed the calculations by dividing the calculated impact for 18

[row 62] by the total amount of 28405 kWh delivered energy and multiplying it with the number 19

of productsbatteries (4) 20

In addition replies to the EcoReport key questions regarding the product type and installation 21

were given as follows 22

BC1 (passenger car BEV) 23

bull lsquoIs it an ICT or consumer electronic product less than 15 kgrsquo - No 24

bull lsquoIs it an installed appliancersquo - Yes 25

bull The volume of the packaged battery is assumed to be 04 m3 (2 m 1 m 02 m) In 26

the EcoReport tool this volume is divided by the total amount of 28405 kWh delivered 27

energy and multiplied with the number of batteries (4) to calculate the amount 28

corresponding with the amount of raw materials extracted for manufacturing 29

Aspects of the other BCs to be added in later update 30

31

5133 Use phase 32

The following aspects are taken into account to model direct and indirect losses during the 33

use phase 34

bull Direct losses in the battery and energy efficiency for BC1 (passenger car BEV) 35

Energy efficiency = ŋcoul x ŋv = 96 or 4 direct losses to be applied on the 36

functional unit (includes brake energy recovery) 37

bull Indirect losses in the battery charger for BC1 (passenger car BEV) 38

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

19

Charger efficiency = 95 or 5 direct losses to be applied to the total amount of 1

functional units minus the assumption on brake energy recovery (15 ) 2

bull Indirect losses from the thermal management system for BC1 (passenger car 3

BEV) 4

An indirect loss of 1 is assumed 5

Aspects of the other BCs to be added in later update 7

5134 End-of-Life phase 8

Default end-of-life (EOL) values from the MEErP EcoReport tool have been used They are 9

provided in Table 4 In the EcoReport tool end-of-life scenarios are assigned to material 10

categories It is not possible to assign end-of-life scenarios to components 11

For this product group many materials were not available in the EcoReport tool Those 12

materials were added as extra materials In total 539 of the battery weight consists of lsquoextra 13

materialsrsquo The MEErP assigns a default end-of-life scenario to these materials (see column 8 14

in Table 4) The default value for recycling within this material category is 60 10 goes to 15

incineration 29 to landfill and 1 is assumed to be reused The benefits of recycling are in 16

the MEErP EcoReport tool calculated as a percentage of the impacts from production For the 17

material category lsquoExtrarsquo MEErP assumes that the benefits of recycling are 40 of the impacts 18

from the production In other words if the impact of the production of the extra materials equals 19

1 kg CO2 eq in the impact category global warming than the benefits attributed to the recycling 20

of the same amount of extra materials in the impact category global warming are 10604 = 21

024 kg CO2 eq 22

23

Recycling of the different materials which are currently catalogued as lsquoExtra materialsrsquo will be 24

evaluated in more detail in a update of this report 25

For ferro and non-ferro metals the default assumption is that 94 is recycled at EOL 26

528 Critical Raw Materials 3

The Critical Raw Material (CRM) indicator is calculated according to MEErP 2011 There are 4

14 CRMs listed in the MEErP methodology however the number of CRMs for the EU has 5

increased to 27 in 20178 The only9 raw material within battery systems that is seen as a CRM 6

is cobalt Lithium is also used in battery systems but is still assessed as a non-critical raw 7

material by the EC10 The economic importance and the supply risk of lithium was in 2017 still 8

within the criticality threshold The criticality threshold can be passed when the demand for 9

lithium increases Therefore the CRM indicator for lithium is included in this preparatory study 10

The CRM indicator in the EcoReport tool is calculated by multiplying the weight of a CRM with 11

a characterisation factor (CF) For cobalt the CF is 002 kg Sb eq per kg cobalt The 12

EcoReport tool does not include a CF for lithium The factor for lithium can be calculated based 13

on the formula provided in the MEErP methodology report part 2 The formula is as follows 14

kg Sb equivalent per kg CRM = 451 (EU consumption [tonyr] Import dependency rate [] 15

Substitutability [] (1 ndash Recycling Rate [])) 16

All necessary values are given in the EC report lsquoStudy on the review of the list of Critical Raw 17

55 Comparison with the Product Environmental Footprint 11

pilot 12

This section compares the results of the environmental LCA executed within this preparatory 13

study with the EcoReport 2014 tool according to the MEErP format with the results of the 14

Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) pilot on rechargeable batteries The PEF method was 15

developed by the Institute for Environment and Sustainability (IES) of the Joint Research 16

Centre (JRC) a Directorate General of the EC upon mandate of the EC Directorate General 17

Environment (DG ENV) The PEF is a harmonised methodology for the calculation of the 18

environmental performance of products (ie goods andor services) from a life cycle 19

perspective 20

Annex B contains a comparison of the MEErP environmental impact categories with PEF 21

environmental impact categories Both methodologies apply different principles (eg regarding 22

end-of-life) The comparison included in this preparatory study is just to check whether 23

the order of magnitude of the results is in the same range 24

In the rechargeable batteries PEF pilot the following four batteries were assessed Li-ion in 25

cordless power tools Li-ion in ICT NiMH in ICT and Li-ion in e-mobility Only the latter is 26

comparable with one of the BCs within this preparatory study ie BC1 the BEV passenger 27

car The only impact category that is directly comparable (same environmental impact and 28

expressed in a similar unit) is the impact category lsquoglobal warmingrsquo (see Annex B) Only the 29

impact caused in the production phase are compared as the scenarios for the 30

distribution use phase and EOL within the MEErP methodology are very different to 31

the one in the PEF pilot 32

Annex B Product environmental footprint compared to MEErP 1

Ecoreport tool 2

3

The Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) method14 was developed by the EURpean 4

Commission as part of the Single Market for Green Products Initiative15 The EURpean 5

Commission proposes the PEF method as a common way of measuring environmental 6

performance of products During several pilot projects16 Product Environmental Footprint 7

Category Rules (PEFCR) were developed for several product groups One of these product 8

groups was the product group of lsquoRechargeable batteriesrsquo 9

10

In 2005 the Methodology for Ecodesign of Energy-using Products (MEEuP) was developed 11

for assessing whether and which ecodesign requirements are appropriate for energy-using 12

products under the Ecodesign Directive Following the revision of the Ecodesign Directive and 13

the extension of its scope to energy-related products in 2009 the Commission reviewed the 14

effectiveness of the MEEuP with a view to extend it to energy-related products The updated 15

methodology MEErP has been endorsed by the Ecodesign Consultation Forum of 20 January 16

2012 and shall be used as basis for ecodesign and energy labelling preparatory studies The 17

MEErP methodology consists of seven tasks of which Task 5 is on lsquoEnvironment and 18

Economicsrsquo For MEErP assessments a reporting tool called EcoReport was developed that 19

facilitates the necessary calculations to translate product-specific characteristics into 20

environmental impact indicators per product 21

22

This annex compares the impact categories used in the PEF methodology and the MEErP 23

methodology (subtask 52 environmental impact assessment) which have both been 24

developed to assess the environmental impact of products 25

26

Environmental impact categories 27

PEF considers 16 environmental impact categories MEErP considers 13 environmental 28

impact categories Table 13 gives an overview of the impact categories considered in both 29

methodologies Common impact categories are lsquoClimate changersquo lsquoParticulate matterrsquo 30

lsquoAcidificationrsquo lsquoEutrophicationrsquo and lsquoWater usersquo Only the impact category climate change is 31

expressed in a common unit 32

The functional unit (FU) is set on the same unit as the one defined within the Product 2

Environmental Footprint Category Rules (PEFCR) on High Specific Energy Rechargeable 3

Batteries for Mobile Applications (version H February 2018) 4

The FU is 1 kWh (kilowatt-hour) of the total output energy delivered over the service life by 5

the battery system (measured in kWh) 6

512 Economic input parameters and product service life 7

5121 Introduction to Life Cycle Costs and Levelized Cost Of Energy 8

The MEErP methodology is usually based on an analysis of life cycle costs (LCC) An LCC 9

calculation provides a summation of all of the costs incurred along the life cycle of the product 10

This makes it relevant to consumers because this cost can then be related to potential savings 11

The Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) or LCC is a concept that aims to estimate the full cost of 12

a system Therefore the Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) and Operational Expenditure (OPEX) 13

are calculated CAPEX is used to acquire the battery system and consists mainly of product 14

and installation costs The OPEX is the ongoing cost of running the battery system and 15

consists mainly of costs for replacement 16

The purpose of the discount rate in LCCLCOE calculations is to convert all life cycle costs to 17

their net present value (NPV) taking into account OPEX for energy and other consumables 18

The LCC in MEErP studies is to be calculated using the following formula 19

119871119862119862[euro]= Σ119862119860119875119864119883+ Σ(119875119882119865 119909 119874119875119864119883) 20

where 21

LCC is the life cycle costing 22

CAPEX is the purchase price (including installation) or so-called capital expenditure 23

OPEX are the operating expenses per year or so-called operational expenditure 24

PWF is the present worth factor with PWF = (1 ndash 1(1+ r)N)r 25

N is the product life in years 26

r is the discount rate which represents the return that could be earned in alternative 27

investments 28

The Levelized Cost Of Energy (LCOE) is an economic assessment of the cost of the energy-29

generating system including all the costs over its lifetime initial investment operations and 30

maintenance cost of fuel and cost of capital The LCOE is defined for the purpose of these 31

calculations as 32

LCOE[eurokWh] =net present value of sum of costs of generation over its life time

119904119906119898 119900119891 119890119897119890119888119905119903119894119888119886119897 119890119899119890119903119892119910 119901119903119900119889119906119888119890119889 119900119907119890119903 119894119905119904 119897119894119891119890 119905119894119898119890 33

The LCOE calculation of costs per kWh generated aligns with the FU defined in Task 1 In this 34

definition the life cycle environmental impacts of the battery system or component are 35

normalized to 1 kWh of electricity stored 36

As a consequence there is a direct relationship between LCOE LCC and the FU of a battery 37

system 38

LCOE = LCCFU 39

5124 Battery system service life and link to the economic life time of the 12

application 13

Definitions 14

An application can require several batteries over its economic life time in order to explain the 15

relationships and assumptions the following definitions will be used 16

bull Ass = Number of batteries for economic service life of application 17

bull Tbat = the life time of the battery system in years[y] 18

bull Tapp = the economic life time of the application in years [y] 19

bull Qua = Quantity of functional units for a battery system (IEC 61951-2 IEC 61960) 20

bull AS = The application service (AS) is the energy required by the application per service 21

life [kWh] 22

23

Assumptions for BC1 (passenger car BEV) 24

The quantity of functional unit of a battery system is related to the product quality (Task 4 and 25

Task 3) because these tasks are not completed yet the data from the PEF pilot3 are used 26

which are 27

bull Qua = 8000 kWh (quantity of functional units for a battery system) 28

bull 25 kWh energy delivered per cycle (battery system capacity used) 29

bull 80 average capacity per cycle 30

bull the corresponding battery capacity needed to deliver on average 25 kWh per cycle 31

with 80 DoD is 250811 = 34375 kWh 32

Task 3 will further provide data to model the base cases for the purpose of this first draft the 1

following assumptions will be used for passenger car BEV (BC1) 2

bull It is assumed that a 40 kW battery will deliver 25 kWh per cycle with 80 average 3

capacity along the life span 4

bull 19 kWh100 km (source Task 3 own estimate) 5

bull 13000 km annual mileage 6

Lifetime of battery and number of batteries for the application calculation for BC1 10

(passenger car BEV) 11

The total amount of kWh for the application is 13 000 19100 10 115 = 28405 kWh 12

delivered by the to the car over the entire lifespan 13

14

According to the previous assumptions the reference lifetime of a passenger car BEV battery 15

system is 16

Ass = int(284058000)+1 = 4 batteries or three replacements over its life time 17

The battery at the end of life of the BEV still has potential left to serve other cars or 18

applications (which can be relevant for exploring second life improvement options in 19

Task 6) 20

21

This battery life time appears low stakeholders are invited to source updated data

to Tasks 3 4 for a more accurate modelling

5125 Other economic parameters 23

Discount rate 24

The MEErP lsquodiscount ratersquo is set at 4 following rules for EU impact assessments This will 25

be applied to all costs apart from electricity 26

The MEErP defined an lsquoescalation ratersquo for energy costs The default lsquoescalation ratersquo herein 27

os set at 4 in the case of this product group This means that for electricity costs a lsquocorrected 28

discount rate for electricityrsquo is used which is by default 0 29

Note The approach for escalation rate and electricity price is currently under review to align 1

with the reference scenarios from the PRIMES5 model 2

Electricity cost 3

The energy rates to be applied in the analysis are based on EURSTAT EURSTAT provides 4

electricity prices for both households and non-households 5

bull The EU-28 average price mdash a weighted average using the most recent (2016) data for 6

the quantity of electricity consumption by households mdash was euro0205 per kWh 7

bull The EU-28 average price mdash a weighted average using the most recent (2016) national 9

data for the quantity of consumption by non-household consumers mdash was euro0112 per 10

kWh (excluding refundable taxes and levies and VAT) (EURSTAT 2018) Non-11

household consumers relate to the medium standard non-household consumption 12

band with an annual consumption of electricity between 500 and 2 000 MWh 13

5132 Distribution phase 11

For the distribution phase the Ecoreport tool requires the volume of the final packaged product 12

to be entered as an input Based on this volume the impact of transport of the product to the 13

site of installation is calculated In the distribution phase the final assembly per m3 packaged 14

final product is also taken into account in the EcoReport tool It also includes space heating 15

and lighting of offices executive travels ([row 62] in the EcoReport calculation sheet) per 16

product As in this preparatory study the FU is not 1 product but 1 kWh delivered energy by 17

the product the project team changed the calculations by dividing the calculated impact for 18

[row 62] by the total amount of 28405 kWh delivered energy and multiplying it with the number 19

of productsbatteries (4) 20

In addition replies to the EcoReport key questions regarding the product type and installation 21

were given as follows 22

BC1 (passenger car BEV) 23

bull lsquoIs it an ICT or consumer electronic product less than 15 kgrsquo - No 24

bull lsquoIs it an installed appliancersquo - Yes 25

bull The volume of the packaged battery is assumed to be 04 m3 (2 m 1 m 02 m) In 26

the EcoReport tool this volume is divided by the total amount of 28405 kWh delivered 27

energy and multiplied with the number of batteries (4) to calculate the amount 28

corresponding with the amount of raw materials extracted for manufacturing 29

Aspects of the other BCs to be added in later update 30

The following aspects are taken into account to model direct and indirect losses during the 33

use phase 34

bull Direct losses in the battery and energy efficiency for BC1 (passenger car BEV) 35

Energy efficiency = ŋcoul x ŋv = 96 or 4 direct losses to be applied on the 36

Aspects of the other BCs to be added in later update 7

5134 End-of-Life phase 8

Default end-of-life (EOL) values from the MEErP EcoReport tool have been used They are 9

provided in Table 4 In the EcoReport tool end-of-life scenarios are assigned to material 10

categories It is not possible to assign end-of-life scenarios to components 11

For this product group many materials were not available in the EcoReport tool Those 12

materials were added as extra materials In total 539 of the battery weight consists of lsquoextra 13

materialsrsquo The MEErP assigns a default end-of-life scenario to these materials (see column 8 14

in Table 4) The default value for recycling within this material category is 60 10 goes to 15

incineration 29 to landfill and 1 is assumed to be reused The benefits of recycling are in 16

the MEErP EcoReport tool calculated as a percentage of the impacts from production For the 17

material category lsquoExtrarsquo MEErP assumes that the benefits of recycling are 40 of the impacts 18

from the production In other words if the impact of the production of the extra materials equals 19

1 kg CO2 eq in the impact category global warming than the benefits attributed to the recycling 20

of the same amount of extra materials in the impact category global warming are 10604 = 21

024 kg CO2 eq 22

23

Recycling of the different materials which are currently catalogued as lsquoExtra materialsrsquo will be 24

evaluated in more detail in a update of this report 25

For ferro and non-ferro metals the default assumption is that 94 is recycled at EOL 26

528 Critical Raw Materials 3

The Critical Raw Material (CRM) indicator is calculated according to MEErP 2011 There are 4

14 CRMs listed in the MEErP methodology however the number of CRMs for the EU has 5

increased to 27 in 20178 The only9 raw material within battery systems that is seen as a CRM 6

is cobalt Lithium is also used in battery systems but is still assessed as a non-critical raw 7

material by the EC10 The economic importance and the supply risk of lithium was in 2017 still 8

within the criticality threshold The criticality threshold can be passed when the demand for 9

lithium increases Therefore the CRM indicator for lithium is included in this preparatory study 10

The CRM indicator in the EcoReport tool is calculated by multiplying the weight of a CRM with 11

a characterisation factor (CF) For cobalt the CF is 002 kg Sb eq per kg cobalt The 12

EcoReport tool does not include a CF for lithium The factor for lithium can be calculated based 13

on the formula provided in the MEErP methodology report part 2 The formula is as follows 14

kg Sb equivalent per kg CRM = 451 (EU consumption [tonyr] Import dependency rate [] 15

Substitutability [] (1 ndash Recycling Rate [])) 16

All necessary values are given in the EC report lsquoStudy on the review of the list of Critical Raw 17

Materials Non-critical Raw Materials Factsheets 201711rsquo and summarized in the table below 18

55 Comparison with the Product Environmental Footprint 11

pilot 12

This section compares the results of the environmental LCA executed within this preparatory 13

study with the EcoReport 2014 tool according to the MEErP format with the results of the 14

Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) pilot on rechargeable batteries The PEF method was 15

developed by the Institute for Environment and Sustainability (IES) of the Joint Research 16

Centre (JRC) a Directorate General of the EC upon mandate of the EC Directorate General 17

Environment (DG ENV) The PEF is a harmonised methodology for the calculation of the 18

environmental performance of products (ie goods andor services) from a life cycle 19

perspective 20

Annex B contains a comparison of the MEErP environmental impact categories with PEF 21

environmental impact categories Both methodologies apply different principles (eg regarding 22

end-of-life) The comparison included in this preparatory study is just to check whether 23

the order of magnitude of the results is in the same range 24

In the rechargeable batteries PEF pilot the following four batteries were assessed Li-ion in 25

cordless power tools Li-ion in ICT NiMH in ICT and Li-ion in e-mobility Only the latter is 26

comparable with one of the BCs within this preparatory study ie BC1 the BEV passenger 27

car The only impact category that is directly comparable (same environmental impact and 28

expressed in a similar unit) is the impact category lsquoglobal warmingrsquo (see Annex B) Only the 29

impact caused in the production phase are compared as the scenarios for the 30

distribution use phase and EOL within the MEErP methodology are very different to 31

the one in the PEF pilot 32

The Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) method14 was developed by the EURpean 4

Commission as part of the Single Market for Green Products Initiative15 The EURpean 5

Commission proposes the PEF method as a common way of measuring environmental 6

performance of products During several pilot projects16 Product Environmental Footprint 7

Category Rules (PEFCR) were developed for several product groups One of these product 8

groups was the product group of lsquoRechargeable batteriesrsquo 9

10

In 2005 the Methodology for Ecodesign of Energy-using Products (MEEuP) was developed 11

for assessing whether and which ecodesign requirements are appropriate for energy-using 12

products under the Ecodesign Directive Following the revision of the Ecodesign Directive and 13

the extension of its scope to energy-related products in 2009 the Commission reviewed the 14

effectiveness of the MEEuP with a view to extend it to energy-related products The updated 15

methodology MEErP has been endorsed by the Ecodesign Consultation Forum of 20 January 16

2012 and shall be used as basis for ecodesign and energy labelling preparatory studies The 17

MEErP methodology consists of seven tasks of which Task 5 is on lsquoEnvironment and 18

Economicsrsquo For MEErP assessments a reporting tool called EcoReport was developed that 19

facilitates the necessary calculations to translate product-specific characteristics into 20

environmental impact indicators per product 21

22

This annex compares the impact categories used in the PEF methodology and the MEErP 23

methodology (subtask 52 environmental impact assessment) which have both been 24

developed to assess the environmental impact of products 25

26

Environmental impact categories 27

PEF considers 16 environmental impact categories MEErP considers 13 environmental 28

impact categories Table 13 gives an overview of the impact categories considered in both 29

methodologies Common impact categories are lsquoClimate changersquo lsquoParticulate matterrsquo 30

lsquoAcidificationrsquo lsquoEutrophicationrsquo and lsquoWater usersquo Only the impact category climate change is 31

expressed in a common unit 32

The functional unit (FU) is set on the same unit as the one defined within the Product 2

Environmental Footprint Category Rules (PEFCR) on High Specific Energy Rechargeable 3

Batteries for Mobile Applications (version H February 2018) 4

The FU is 1 kWh (kilowatt-hour) of the total output energy delivered over the service life by 5

the battery system (measured in kWh) 6

512 Economic input parameters and product service life 7

5121 Introduction to Life Cycle Costs and Levelized Cost Of Energy 8

The MEErP methodology is usually based on an analysis of life cycle costs (LCC) An LCC 9

calculation provides a summation of all of the costs incurred along the life cycle of the product 10

This makes it relevant to consumers because this cost can then be related to potential savings 11

The Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) or LCC is a concept that aims to estimate the full cost of 12

a system Therefore the Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) and Operational Expenditure (OPEX) 13

are calculated CAPEX is used to acquire the battery system and consists mainly of product 14

and installation costs The OPEX is the ongoing cost of running the battery system and 15

consists mainly of costs for replacement 16

The purpose of the discount rate in LCCLCOE calculations is to convert all life cycle costs to 17

their net present value (NPV) taking into account OPEX for energy and other consumables 18

The LCC in MEErP studies is to be calculated using the following formula 19

119871119862119862[euro]= Σ119862119860119875119864119883+ Σ(119875119882119865 119909 119874119875119864119883) 20

where 21

LCC is the life cycle costing 22

CAPEX is the purchase price (including installation) or so-called capital expenditure 23

OPEX are the operating expenses per year or so-called operational expenditure 24

PWF is the present worth factor with PWF = (1 ndash 1(1+ r)N)r 25

N is the product life in years 26

r is the discount rate which represents the return that could be earned in alternative 27

investments 28

The Levelized Cost Of Energy (LCOE) is an economic assessment of the cost of the energy-29

generating system including all the costs over its lifetime initial investment operations and 30

maintenance cost of fuel and cost of capital The LCOE is defined for the purpose of these 31

calculations as 32

LCOE[eurokWh] =net present value of sum of costs of generation over its life time

119904119906119898 119900119891 119890119897119890119888119905119903119894119888119886119897 119890119899119890119903119892119910 119901119903119900119889119906119888119890119889 119900119907119890119903 119894119905119904 119897119894119891119890 119905119894119898119890 33

The LCOE calculation of costs per kWh generated aligns with the FU defined in Task 1 In this 34

definition the life cycle environmental impacts of the battery system or component are 35

normalized to 1 kWh of electricity stored 36

As a consequence there is a direct relationship between LCOE LCC and the FU of a battery 37

system 38

LCOE = LCCFU 39

5124 Battery system service life and link to the economic life time of the 12

application 13

Definitions 14

An application can require several batteries over its economic life time in order to explain the 15

relationships and assumptions the following definitions will be used 16

bull Ass = Number of batteries for economic service life of application 17

bull Tbat = the life time of the battery system in years[y] 18

bull Tapp = the economic life time of the application in years [y] 19

bull Qua = Quantity of functional units for a battery system (IEC 61951-2 IEC 61960) 20

bull AS = The application service (AS) is the energy required by the application per service 21

life [kWh] 22

23

Assumptions for BC1 (passenger car BEV) 24

The quantity of functional unit of a battery system is related to the product quality (Task 4 and 25

Task 3) because these tasks are not completed yet the data from the PEF pilot3 are used 26

which are 27

bull Qua = 8000 kWh (quantity of functional units for a battery system) 28

bull 25 kWh energy delivered per cycle (battery system capacity used) 29

bull 80 average capacity per cycle 30

bull the corresponding battery capacity needed to deliver on average 25 kWh per cycle 31

with 80 DoD is 250811 = 34375 kWh 32

Task 3 will further provide data to model the base cases for the purpose of this first draft the 1

following assumptions will be used for passenger car BEV (BC1) 2

bull It is assumed that a 40 kW battery will deliver 25 kWh per cycle with 80 average 3

capacity along the life span 4

bull 19 kWh100 km (source Task 3 own estimate) 5

bull 13000 km annual mileage 6

bull 15 additional battery loading due to regenerative braking (source own estimate4) 7

bull 10 years economic life time of the car 8

Lifetime of battery and number of batteries for the application calculation for BC1 10

(passenger car BEV) 11

The total amount of kWh for the application is 13 000 19100 10 115 = 28405 kWh 12

delivered by the to the car over the entire lifespan 13

14

According to the previous assumptions the reference lifetime of a passenger car BEV battery 15

system is 16

Ass = int(284058000)+1 = 4 batteries or three replacements over its life time 17

The battery at the end of life of the BEV still has potential left to serve other cars or 18

applications (which can be relevant for exploring second life improvement options in 19

Task 6) 20

21

This battery life time appears low stakeholders are invited to source updated data

to Tasks 3 4 for a more accurate modelling

22

5125 Other economic parameters 23

Discount rate 24

The MEErP lsquodiscount ratersquo is set at 4 following rules for EU impact assessments This will 25

be applied to all costs apart from electricity 26

The MEErP defined an lsquoescalation ratersquo for energy costs The default lsquoescalation ratersquo herein 27

os set at 4 in the case of this product group This means that for electricity costs a lsquocorrected 28

discount rate for electricityrsquo is used which is by default 0 29

Note The approach for escalation rate and electricity price is currently under review to align 1

with the reference scenarios from the PRIMES5 model 2

Electricity cost 3

The energy rates to be applied in the analysis are based on EURSTAT EURSTAT provides 4

electricity prices for both households and non-households 5

bull The EU-28 average price mdash a weighted average using the most recent (2016) data for 6

the quantity of electricity consumption by households mdash was euro0205 per kWh 7

bull The EU-28 average price mdash a weighted average using the most recent (2016) national 9

data for the quantity of consumption by non-household consumers mdash was euro0112 per 10

kWh (excluding refundable taxes and levies and VAT) (EURSTAT 2018) Non-11

household consumers relate to the medium standard non-household consumption 12

band with an annual consumption of electricity between 500 and 2 000 MWh 13

and lighting of offices executive travels ([row 62] in the EcoReport calculation sheet) per 16

product As in this preparatory study the FU is not 1 product but 1 kWh delivered energy by 17

the product the project team changed the calculations by dividing the calculated impact for 18

[row 62] by the total amount of 28405 kWh delivered energy and multiplying it with the number 19

of productsbatteries (4) 20

In addition replies to the EcoReport key questions regarding the product type and installation 21

were given as follows 22

BC1 (passenger car BEV) 23

bull lsquoIs it an ICT or consumer electronic product less than 15 kgrsquo - No 24

bull lsquoIs it an installed appliancersquo - Yes 25

bull The volume of the packaged battery is assumed to be 04 m3 (2 m 1 m 02 m) In 26

the EcoReport tool this volume is divided by the total amount of 28405 kWh delivered 27

energy and multiplied with the number of batteries (4) to calculate the amount 28

corresponding with the amount of raw materials extracted for manufacturing 29

The following aspects are taken into account to model direct and indirect losses during the 33

use phase 34

bull Direct losses in the battery and energy efficiency for BC1 (passenger car BEV) 35

Energy efficiency = ŋcoul x ŋv = 96 or 4 direct losses to be applied on the 36

functional unit (includes brake energy recovery) 37

bull Indirect losses in the battery charger for BC1 (passenger car BEV) 38

Charger efficiency = 95 or 5 direct losses to be applied to the total amount of 1

functional units minus the assumption on brake energy recovery (15 ) 2

bull Indirect losses from the thermal management system for BC1 (passenger car 3

BEV) 4

An indirect loss of 1 is assumed 5

5134 End-of-Life phase 8

Default end-of-life (EOL) values from the MEErP EcoReport tool have been used They are 9

provided in Table 4 In the EcoReport tool end-of-life scenarios are assigned to material 10

categories It is not possible to assign end-of-life scenarios to components 11

For this product group many materials were not available in the EcoReport tool Those 12

materials were added as extra materials In total 539 of the battery weight consists of lsquoextra 13

materialsrsquo The MEErP assigns a default end-of-life scenario to these materials (see column 8 14

in Table 4) The default value for recycling within this material category is 60 10 goes to 15

incineration 29 to landfill and 1 is assumed to be reused The benefits of recycling are in 16

the MEErP EcoReport tool calculated as a percentage of the impacts from production For the 17

material category lsquoExtrarsquo MEErP assumes that the benefits of recycling are 40 of the impacts 18

from the production In other words if the impact of the production of the extra materials equals 19

1 kg CO2 eq in the impact category global warming than the benefits attributed to the recycling 20

of the same amount of extra materials in the impact category global warming are 10604 = 21

024 kg CO2 eq 22

23

Recycling of the different materials which are currently catalogued as lsquoExtra materialsrsquo will be 24

evaluated in more detail in a update of this report 25

For ferro and non-ferro metals the default assumption is that 94 is recycled at EOL 26

528 Critical Raw Materials 3

The Critical Raw Material (CRM) indicator is calculated according to MEErP 2011 There are 4

14 CRMs listed in the MEErP methodology however the number of CRMs for the EU has 5

increased to 27 in 20178 The only9 raw material within battery systems that is seen as a CRM 6

is cobalt Lithium is also used in battery systems but is still assessed as a non-critical raw 7

material by the EC10 The economic importance and the supply risk of lithium was in 2017 still 8

within the criticality threshold The criticality threshold can be passed when the demand for 9

lithium increases Therefore the CRM indicator for lithium is included in this preparatory study 10

The CRM indicator in the EcoReport tool is calculated by multiplying the weight of a CRM with 11

a characterisation factor (CF) For cobalt the CF is 002 kg Sb eq per kg cobalt The 12

EcoReport tool does not include a CF for lithium The factor for lithium can be calculated based 13

on the formula provided in the MEErP methodology report part 2 The formula is as follows 14

kg Sb equivalent per kg CRM = 451 (EU consumption [tonyr] Import dependency rate [] 15

Substitutability [] (1 ndash Recycling Rate [])) 16

All necessary values are given in the EC report lsquoStudy on the review of the list of Critical Raw 17

Materials Non-critical Raw Materials Factsheets 201711rsquo and summarized in the table below 18

55 Comparison with the Product Environmental Footprint 11

pilot 12

This section compares the results of the environmental LCA executed within this preparatory 13

study with the EcoReport 2014 tool according to the MEErP format with the results of the 14

Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) pilot on rechargeable batteries The PEF method was 15

developed by the Institute for Environment and Sustainability (IES) of the Joint Research 16

Centre (JRC) a Directorate General of the EC upon mandate of the EC Directorate General 17

Environment (DG ENV) The PEF is a harmonised methodology for the calculation of the 18

environmental performance of products (ie goods andor services) from a life cycle 19

perspective 20

Annex B contains a comparison of the MEErP environmental impact categories with PEF 21

environmental impact categories Both methodologies apply different principles (eg regarding 22

end-of-life) The comparison included in this preparatory study is just to check whether 23

the order of magnitude of the results is in the same range 24

In the rechargeable batteries PEF pilot the following four batteries were assessed Li-ion in 25

cordless power tools Li-ion in ICT NiMH in ICT and Li-ion in e-mobility Only the latter is 26

comparable with one of the BCs within this preparatory study ie BC1 the BEV passenger 27

car The only impact category that is directly comparable (same environmental impact and 28

expressed in a similar unit) is the impact category lsquoglobal warmingrsquo (see Annex B) Only the 29

impact caused in the production phase are compared as the scenarios for the 30

distribution use phase and EOL within the MEErP methodology are very different to 31

the one in the PEF pilot 32

Annex B Product environmental footprint compared to MEErP 1

Ecoreport tool 2

3

The Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) method14 was developed by the EURpean 4

Commission as part of the Single Market for Green Products Initiative15 The EURpean 5

Commission proposes the PEF method as a common way of measuring environmental 6

performance of products During several pilot projects16 Product Environmental Footprint 7

Category Rules (PEFCR) were developed for several product groups One of these product 8

groups was the product group of lsquoRechargeable batteriesrsquo 9

10

In 2005 the Methodology for Ecodesign of Energy-using Products (MEEuP) was developed 11

for assessing whether and which ecodesign requirements are appropriate for energy-using 12

products under the Ecodesign Directive Following the revision of the Ecodesign Directive and 13

the extension of its scope to energy-related products in 2009 the Commission reviewed the 14

effectiveness of the MEEuP with a view to extend it to energy-related products The updated 15

methodology MEErP has been endorsed by the Ecodesign Consultation Forum of 20 January 16

2012 and shall be used as basis for ecodesign and energy labelling preparatory studies The 17

MEErP methodology consists of seven tasks of which Task 5 is on lsquoEnvironment and 18

Economicsrsquo For MEErP assessments a reporting tool called EcoReport was developed that 19

facilitates the necessary calculations to translate product-specific characteristics into 20

environmental impact indicators per product 21

22

This annex compares the impact categories used in the PEF methodology and the MEErP 23

methodology (subtask 52 environmental impact assessment) which have both been 24

developed to assess the environmental impact of products 25

26

Environmental impact categories 27

PEF considers 16 environmental impact categories MEErP considers 13 environmental 28

impact categories Table 13 gives an overview of the impact categories considered in both 29

methodologies Common impact categories are lsquoClimate changersquo lsquoParticulate matterrsquo 30

lsquoAcidificationrsquo lsquoEutrophicationrsquo and lsquoWater usersquo Only the impact category climate change is 31

expressed in a common unit 32

application 13

Definitions 14

An application can require several batteries over its economic life time in order to explain the 15

relationships and assumptions the following definitions will be used 16

bull Ass = Number of batteries for economic service life of application 17

bull Tbat = the life time of the battery system in years[y] 18

bull Tapp = the economic life time of the application in years [y] 19

bull Qua = Quantity of functional units for a battery system (IEC 61951-2 IEC 61960) 20

bull AS = The application service (AS) is the energy required by the application per service 21

life [kWh] 22

23

Assumptions for BC1 (passenger car BEV) 24

The quantity of functional unit of a battery system is related to the product quality (Task 4 and 25

Task 3) because these tasks are not completed yet the data from the PEF pilot3 are used 26

which are 27

bull Qua = 8000 kWh (quantity of functional units for a battery system) 28

bull 25 kWh energy delivered per cycle (battery system capacity used) 29

bull 80 average capacity per cycle 30

bull the corresponding battery capacity needed to deliver on average 25 kWh per cycle 31

with 80 DoD is 250811 = 34375 kWh 32

Task 3 will further provide data to model the base cases for the purpose of this first draft the 1

following assumptions will be used for passenger car BEV (BC1) 2

bull It is assumed that a 40 kW battery will deliver 25 kWh per cycle with 80 average 3

capacity along the life span 4

bull 19 kWh100 km (source Task 3 own estimate) 5

bull 13000 km annual mileage 6

Lifetime of battery and number of batteries for the application calculation for BC1 10

(passenger car BEV) 11

The total amount of kWh for the application is 13 000 19100 10 115 = 28405 kWh 12

delivered by the to the car over the entire lifespan 13

14

According to the previous assumptions the reference lifetime of a passenger car BEV battery 15

system is 16

Ass = int(284058000)+1 = 4 batteries or three replacements over its life time 17

The battery at the end of life of the BEV still has potential left to serve other cars or 18

applications (which can be relevant for exploring second life improvement options in 19

Discount rate 24

The MEErP lsquodiscount ratersquo is set at 4 following rules for EU impact assessments This will 25

be applied to all costs apart from electricity 26

The MEErP defined an lsquoescalation ratersquo for energy costs The default lsquoescalation ratersquo herein 27

os set at 4 in the case of this product group This means that for electricity costs a lsquocorrected 28

discount rate for electricityrsquo is used which is by default 0 29

Note The approach for escalation rate and electricity price is currently under review to align 1

with the reference scenarios from the PRIMES5 model 2

Electricity cost 3

The energy rates to be applied in the analysis are based on EURSTAT EURSTAT provides 4

electricity prices for both households and non-households 5

bull The EU-28 average price mdash a weighted average using the most recent (2016) data for 6

the quantity of electricity consumption by households mdash was euro0205 per kWh 7

(including taxes levies and VAT) (EURSTAT 2018) 8

bull The EU-28 average price mdash a weighted average using the most recent (2016) national 9

data for the quantity of consumption by non-household consumers mdash was euro0112 per 10

kWh (excluding refundable taxes and levies and VAT) (EURSTAT 2018) Non-11

household consumers relate to the medium standard non-household consumption 12

band with an annual consumption of electricity between 500 and 2 000 MWh 13

site of installation is calculated In the distribution phase the final assembly per m3 packaged 14

final product is also taken into account in the EcoReport tool It also includes space heating 15

and lighting of offices executive travels ([row 62] in the EcoReport calculation sheet) per 16

product As in this preparatory study the FU is not 1 product but 1 kWh delivered energy by 17

the product the project team changed the calculations by dividing the calculated impact for 18

[row 62] by the total amount of 28405 kWh delivered energy and multiplying it with the number 19

of productsbatteries (4) 20

In addition replies to the EcoReport key questions regarding the product type and installation 21

were given as follows 22

BC1 (passenger car BEV) 23

bull lsquoIs it an ICT or consumer electronic product less than 15 kgrsquo - No 24

bull lsquoIs it an installed appliancersquo - Yes 25

bull The volume of the packaged battery is assumed to be 04 m3 (2 m 1 m 02 m) In 26

the EcoReport tool this volume is divided by the total amount of 28405 kWh delivered 27

energy and multiplied with the number of batteries (4) to calculate the amount 28

corresponding with the amount of raw materials extracted for manufacturing 29

5133 Use phase 32

The following aspects are taken into account to model direct and indirect losses during the 33

use phase 34

bull Direct losses in the battery and energy efficiency for BC1 (passenger car BEV) 35

Energy efficiency = ŋcoul x ŋv = 96 or 4 direct losses to be applied on the 36

functional unit (includes brake energy recovery) 37

bull Indirect losses in the battery charger for BC1 (passenger car BEV) 38

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

19

Charger efficiency = 95 or 5 direct losses to be applied to the total amount of 1

functional units minus the assumption on brake energy recovery (15 ) 2

bull Indirect losses from the thermal management system for BC1 (passenger car 3

BEV) 4

An indirect loss of 1 is assumed 5

5134 End-of-Life phase 8

Default end-of-life (EOL) values from the MEErP EcoReport tool have been used They are 9

provided in Table 4 In the EcoReport tool end-of-life scenarios are assigned to material 10

categories It is not possible to assign end-of-life scenarios to components 11

For this product group many materials were not available in the EcoReport tool Those 12

materials were added as extra materials In total 539 of the battery weight consists of lsquoextra 13

materialsrsquo The MEErP assigns a default end-of-life scenario to these materials (see column 8 14

in Table 4) The default value for recycling within this material category is 60 10 goes to 15

incineration 29 to landfill and 1 is assumed to be reused The benefits of recycling are in 16

the MEErP EcoReport tool calculated as a percentage of the impacts from production For the 17

material category lsquoExtrarsquo MEErP assumes that the benefits of recycling are 40 of the impacts 18

from the production In other words if the impact of the production of the extra materials equals 19

1 kg CO2 eq in the impact category global warming than the benefits attributed to the recycling 20

of the same amount of extra materials in the impact category global warming are 10604 = 21

024 kg CO2 eq 22

23

Recycling of the different materials which are currently catalogued as lsquoExtra materialsrsquo will be 24

evaluated in more detail in a update of this report 25

For ferro and non-ferro metals the default assumption is that 94 is recycled at EOL 26

528 Critical Raw Materials 3

The Critical Raw Material (CRM) indicator is calculated according to MEErP 2011 There are 4

14 CRMs listed in the MEErP methodology however the number of CRMs for the EU has 5

increased to 27 in 20178 The only9 raw material within battery systems that is seen as a CRM 6

is cobalt Lithium is also used in battery systems but is still assessed as a non-critical raw 7

material by the EC10 The economic importance and the supply risk of lithium was in 2017 still 8

within the criticality threshold The criticality threshold can be passed when the demand for 9

lithium increases Therefore the CRM indicator for lithium is included in this preparatory study 10

The CRM indicator in the EcoReport tool is calculated by multiplying the weight of a CRM with 11

a characterisation factor (CF) For cobalt the CF is 002 kg Sb eq per kg cobalt The 12

EcoReport tool does not include a CF for lithium The factor for lithium can be calculated based 13

on the formula provided in the MEErP methodology report part 2 The formula is as follows 14

kg Sb equivalent per kg CRM = 451 (EU consumption [tonyr] Import dependency rate [] 15

Substitutability [] (1 ndash Recycling Rate [])) 16

All necessary values are given in the EC report lsquoStudy on the review of the list of Critical Raw 17

Materials Non-critical Raw Materials Factsheets 201711rsquo and summarized in the table below 18

55 Comparison with the Product Environmental Footprint 11

pilot 12

This section compares the results of the environmental LCA executed within this preparatory 13

study with the EcoReport 2014 tool according to the MEErP format with the results of the 14

Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) pilot on rechargeable batteries The PEF method was 15

developed by the Institute for Environment and Sustainability (IES) of the Joint Research 16

Centre (JRC) a Directorate General of the EC upon mandate of the EC Directorate General 17

Environment (DG ENV) The PEF is a harmonised methodology for the calculation of the 18

environmental performance of products (ie goods andor services) from a life cycle 19

perspective 20

Annex B contains a comparison of the MEErP environmental impact categories with PEF 21

environmental impact categories Both methodologies apply different principles (eg regarding 22

end-of-life) The comparison included in this preparatory study is just to check whether 23

the order of magnitude of the results is in the same range 24

In the rechargeable batteries PEF pilot the following four batteries were assessed Li-ion in 25

cordless power tools Li-ion in ICT NiMH in ICT and Li-ion in e-mobility Only the latter is 26

comparable with one of the BCs within this preparatory study ie BC1 the BEV passenger 27

car The only impact category that is directly comparable (same environmental impact and 28

expressed in a similar unit) is the impact category lsquoglobal warmingrsquo (see Annex B) Only the 29

impact caused in the production phase are compared as the scenarios for the 30

distribution use phase and EOL within the MEErP methodology are very different to 31

the one in the PEF pilot 32

Annex B Product environmental footprint compared to MEErP 1

Ecoreport tool 2

3

The Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) method14 was developed by the EURpean 4

Commission as part of the Single Market for Green Products Initiative15 The EURpean 5

Commission proposes the PEF method as a common way of measuring environmental 6

performance of products During several pilot projects16 Product Environmental Footprint 7

Category Rules (PEFCR) were developed for several product groups One of these product 8

groups was the product group of lsquoRechargeable batteriesrsquo 9

10

In 2005 the Methodology for Ecodesign of Energy-using Products (MEEuP) was developed 11

for assessing whether and which ecodesign requirements are appropriate for energy-using 12

products under the Ecodesign Directive Following the revision of the Ecodesign Directive and 13

the extension of its scope to energy-related products in 2009 the Commission reviewed the 14

effectiveness of the MEEuP with a view to extend it to energy-related products The updated 15

methodology MEErP has been endorsed by the Ecodesign Consultation Forum of 20 January 16

2012 and shall be used as basis for ecodesign and energy labelling preparatory studies The 17

MEErP methodology consists of seven tasks of which Task 5 is on lsquoEnvironment and 18

Economicsrsquo For MEErP assessments a reporting tool called EcoReport was developed that 19

facilitates the necessary calculations to translate product-specific characteristics into 20

environmental impact indicators per product 21

22

This annex compares the impact categories used in the PEF methodology and the MEErP 23

methodology (subtask 52 environmental impact assessment) which have both been 24

developed to assess the environmental impact of products 25

26

Environmental impact categories 27

PEF considers 16 environmental impact categories MEErP considers 13 environmental 28

impact categories Table 13 gives an overview of the impact categories considered in both 29

methodologies Common impact categories are lsquoClimate changersquo lsquoParticulate matterrsquo 30

lsquoAcidificationrsquo lsquoEutrophicationrsquo and lsquoWater usersquo Only the impact category climate change is 31

expressed in a common unit 32

5124 Battery system service life and link to the economic life time of the 12

application 13

Definitions 14

An application can require several batteries over its economic life time in order to explain the 15

relationships and assumptions the following definitions will be used 16

bull Ass = Number of batteries for economic service life of application 17

bull Tbat = the life time of the battery system in years[y] 18

bull Tapp = the economic life time of the application in years [y] 19

bull Qua = Quantity of functional units for a battery system (IEC 61951-2 IEC 61960) 20

bull AS = The application service (AS) is the energy required by the application per service 21

life [kWh] 22

23

Assumptions for BC1 (passenger car BEV) 24

The quantity of functional unit of a battery system is related to the product quality (Task 4 and 25

Task 3) because these tasks are not completed yet the data from the PEF pilot3 are used 26

which are 27

bull Qua = 8000 kWh (quantity of functional units for a battery system) 28

bull 25 kWh energy delivered per cycle (battery system capacity used) 29

bull 80 average capacity per cycle 30

bull the corresponding battery capacity needed to deliver on average 25 kWh per cycle 31

with 80 DoD is 250811 = 34375 kWh 32

Task 3 will further provide data to model the base cases for the purpose of this first draft the 1

following assumptions will be used for passenger car BEV (BC1) 2

bull It is assumed that a 40 kW battery will deliver 25 kWh per cycle with 80 average 3

capacity along the life span 4

bull 19 kWh100 km (source Task 3 own estimate) 5

bull 13000 km annual mileage 6

Lifetime of battery and number of batteries for the application calculation for BC1 10

(passenger car BEV) 11

The total amount of kWh for the application is 13 000 19100 10 115 = 28405 kWh 12

delivered by the to the car over the entire lifespan 13

14

According to the previous assumptions the reference lifetime of a passenger car BEV battery 15

system is 16

Ass = int(284058000)+1 = 4 batteries or three replacements over its life time 17

The battery at the end of life of the BEV still has potential left to serve other cars or 18

applications (which can be relevant for exploring second life improvement options in 19

Task 6) 20

21

This battery life time appears low stakeholders are invited to source updated data

to Tasks 3 4 for a more accurate modelling

5125 Other economic parameters 23

Discount rate 24

The MEErP lsquodiscount ratersquo is set at 4 following rules for EU impact assessments This will 25

be applied to all costs apart from electricity 26

The MEErP defined an lsquoescalation ratersquo for energy costs The default lsquoescalation ratersquo herein 27

os set at 4 in the case of this product group This means that for electricity costs a lsquocorrected 28

discount rate for electricityrsquo is used which is by default 0 29

Note The approach for escalation rate and electricity price is currently under review to align 1

with the reference scenarios from the PRIMES5 model 2

Electricity cost 3

The energy rates to be applied in the analysis are based on EURSTAT EURSTAT provides 4

electricity prices for both households and non-households 5

bull The EU-28 average price mdash a weighted average using the most recent (2016) data for 6

the quantity of electricity consumption by households mdash was euro0205 per kWh 7

(including taxes levies and VAT) (EURSTAT 2018) 8

bull The EU-28 average price mdash a weighted average using the most recent (2016) national 9

data for the quantity of consumption by non-household consumers mdash was euro0112 per 10

kWh (excluding refundable taxes and levies and VAT) (EURSTAT 2018) Non-11

household consumers relate to the medium standard non-household consumption 12

band with an annual consumption of electricity between 500 and 2 000 MWh 13

bull The European electricity price reference scenarios from the PRIMES6 model 14

Note in al later review these cost can be further updated for photovoltaic storage systems and 15

hybrid vehicles 16

final product is also taken into account in the EcoReport tool It also includes space heating 15

and lighting of offices executive travels ([row 62] in the EcoReport calculation sheet) per 16

product As in this preparatory study the FU is not 1 product but 1 kWh delivered energy by 17

the product the project team changed the calculations by dividing the calculated impact for 18

[row 62] by the total amount of 28405 kWh delivered energy and multiplying it with the number 19

of productsbatteries (4) 20

In addition replies to the EcoReport key questions regarding the product type and installation 21

were given as follows 22

BC1 (passenger car BEV) 23

bull lsquoIs it an ICT or consumer electronic product less than 15 kgrsquo - No 24

bull lsquoIs it an installed appliancersquo - Yes 25

bull The volume of the packaged battery is assumed to be 04 m3 (2 m 1 m 02 m) In 26

the EcoReport tool this volume is divided by the total amount of 28405 kWh delivered 27

energy and multiplied with the number of batteries (4) to calculate the amount 28

corresponding with the amount of raw materials extracted for manufacturing 29

The following aspects are taken into account to model direct and indirect losses during the 33

use phase 34

bull Direct losses in the battery and energy efficiency for BC1 (passenger car BEV) 35

Energy efficiency = ŋcoul x ŋv = 96 or 4 direct losses to be applied on the 36

functional unit (includes brake energy recovery) 37

bull Indirect losses in the battery charger for BC1 (passenger car BEV) 38

Charger efficiency = 95 or 5 direct losses to be applied to the total amount of 1

functional units minus the assumption on brake energy recovery (15 ) 2

bull Indirect losses from the thermal management system for BC1 (passenger car 3

BEV) 4

An indirect loss of 1 is assumed 5

5134 End-of-Life phase 8

Default end-of-life (EOL) values from the MEErP EcoReport tool have been used They are 9

provided in Table 4 In the EcoReport tool end-of-life scenarios are assigned to material 10

categories It is not possible to assign end-of-life scenarios to components 11

For this product group many materials were not available in the EcoReport tool Those 12

materials were added as extra materials In total 539 of the battery weight consists of lsquoextra 13

materialsrsquo The MEErP assigns a default end-of-life scenario to these materials (see column 8 14

in Table 4) The default value for recycling within this material category is 60 10 goes to 15

incineration 29 to landfill and 1 is assumed to be reused The benefits of recycling are in 16

the MEErP EcoReport tool calculated as a percentage of the impacts from production For the 17

material category lsquoExtrarsquo MEErP assumes that the benefits of recycling are 40 of the impacts 18

from the production In other words if the impact of the production of the extra materials equals 19

1 kg CO2 eq in the impact category global warming than the benefits attributed to the recycling 20

of the same amount of extra materials in the impact category global warming are 10604 = 21

024 kg CO2 eq 22

23

Recycling of the different materials which are currently catalogued as lsquoExtra materialsrsquo will be 24

evaluated in more detail in a update of this report 25

For ferro and non-ferro metals the default assumption is that 94 is recycled at EOL 26

528 Critical Raw Materials 3

The Critical Raw Material (CRM) indicator is calculated according to MEErP 2011 There are 4

14 CRMs listed in the MEErP methodology however the number of CRMs for the EU has 5

increased to 27 in 20178 The only9 raw material within battery systems that is seen as a CRM 6

is cobalt Lithium is also used in battery systems but is still assessed as a non-critical raw 7

material by the EC10 The economic importance and the supply risk of lithium was in 2017 still 8

within the criticality threshold The criticality threshold can be passed when the demand for 9

lithium increases Therefore the CRM indicator for lithium is included in this preparatory study 10

The CRM indicator in the EcoReport tool is calculated by multiplying the weight of a CRM with 11

a characterisation factor (CF) For cobalt the CF is 002 kg Sb eq per kg cobalt The 12

EcoReport tool does not include a CF for lithium The factor for lithium can be calculated based 13

on the formula provided in the MEErP methodology report part 2 The formula is as follows 14

kg Sb equivalent per kg CRM = 451 (EU consumption [tonyr] Import dependency rate [] 15

Substitutability [] (1 ndash Recycling Rate [])) 16

All necessary values are given in the EC report lsquoStudy on the review of the list of Critical Raw 17

Materials Non-critical Raw Materials Factsheets 201711rsquo and summarized in the table below 18

55 Comparison with the Product Environmental Footprint 11

pilot 12

This section compares the results of the environmental LCA executed within this preparatory 13

study with the EcoReport 2014 tool according to the MEErP format with the results of the 14

Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) pilot on rechargeable batteries The PEF method was 15

developed by the Institute for Environment and Sustainability (IES) of the Joint Research 16

Centre (JRC) a Directorate General of the EC upon mandate of the EC Directorate General 17

Environment (DG ENV) The PEF is a harmonised methodology for the calculation of the 18

environmental performance of products (ie goods andor services) from a life cycle 19

perspective 20

Annex B contains a comparison of the MEErP environmental impact categories with PEF 21

environmental impact categories Both methodologies apply different principles (eg regarding 22

end-of-life) The comparison included in this preparatory study is just to check whether 23

the order of magnitude of the results is in the same range 24

In the rechargeable batteries PEF pilot the following four batteries were assessed Li-ion in 25

cordless power tools Li-ion in ICT NiMH in ICT and Li-ion in e-mobility Only the latter is 26

comparable with one of the BCs within this preparatory study ie BC1 the BEV passenger 27

car The only impact category that is directly comparable (same environmental impact and 28

expressed in a similar unit) is the impact category lsquoglobal warmingrsquo (see Annex B) Only the 29

impact caused in the production phase are compared as the scenarios for the 30

distribution use phase and EOL within the MEErP methodology are very different to 31

the one in the PEF pilot 32

Annex B Product environmental footprint compared to MEErP 1

Ecoreport tool 2

3

The Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) method14 was developed by the EURpean 4

Commission as part of the Single Market for Green Products Initiative15 The EURpean 5

Commission proposes the PEF method as a common way of measuring environmental 6

performance of products During several pilot projects16 Product Environmental Footprint 7

Category Rules (PEFCR) were developed for several product groups One of these product 8

groups was the product group of lsquoRechargeable batteriesrsquo 9

10

In 2005 the Methodology for Ecodesign of Energy-using Products (MEEuP) was developed 11

for assessing whether and which ecodesign requirements are appropriate for energy-using 12

products under the Ecodesign Directive Following the revision of the Ecodesign Directive and 13

the extension of its scope to energy-related products in 2009 the Commission reviewed the 14

effectiveness of the MEEuP with a view to extend it to energy-related products The updated 15

methodology MEErP has been endorsed by the Ecodesign Consultation Forum of 20 January 16

2012 and shall be used as basis for ecodesign and energy labelling preparatory studies The 17

MEErP methodology consists of seven tasks of which Task 5 is on lsquoEnvironment and 18

Economicsrsquo For MEErP assessments a reporting tool called EcoReport was developed that 19

facilitates the necessary calculations to translate product-specific characteristics into 20

environmental impact indicators per product 21

22

This annex compares the impact categories used in the PEF methodology and the MEErP 23

methodology (subtask 52 environmental impact assessment) which have both been 24

developed to assess the environmental impact of products 25

26

Environmental impact categories 27

PEF considers 16 environmental impact categories MEErP considers 13 environmental 28

impact categories Table 13 gives an overview of the impact categories considered in both 29

methodologies Common impact categories are lsquoClimate changersquo lsquoParticulate matterrsquo 30

lsquoAcidificationrsquo lsquoEutrophicationrsquo and lsquoWater usersquo Only the impact category climate change is 31

expressed in a common unit 32

Task 3 will further provide data to model the base cases for the purpose of this first draft the 1

following assumptions will be used for passenger car BEV (BC1) 2

bull It is assumed that a 40 kW battery will deliver 25 kWh per cycle with 80 average 3

capacity along the life span 4

bull 19 kWh100 km (source Task 3 own estimate) 5

bull 13000 km annual mileage 6

bull 15 additional battery loading due to regenerative braking (source own estimate4) 7

bull 10 years economic life time of the car 8

9

Lifetime of battery and number of batteries for the application calculation for BC1 10

(passenger car BEV) 11

The total amount of kWh for the application is 13 000 19100 10 115 = 28405 kWh 12

delivered by the to the car over the entire lifespan 13

14

According to the previous assumptions the reference lifetime of a passenger car BEV battery 15

system is 16

Ass = int(284058000)+1 = 4 batteries or three replacements over its life time 17

The battery at the end of life of the BEV still has potential left to serve other cars or 18

applications (which can be relevant for exploring second life improvement options in 19

Task 6) 20

21

This battery life time appears low stakeholders are invited to source updated data

to Tasks 3 4 for a more accurate modelling

Discount rate 24

The MEErP lsquodiscount ratersquo is set at 4 following rules for EU impact assessments This will 25

be applied to all costs apart from electricity 26

The MEErP defined an lsquoescalation ratersquo for energy costs The default lsquoescalation ratersquo herein 27

os set at 4 in the case of this product group This means that for electricity costs a lsquocorrected 28

discount rate for electricityrsquo is used which is by default 0 29

data for the quantity of consumption by non-household consumers mdash was euro0112 per 10

kWh (excluding refundable taxes and levies and VAT) (EURSTAT 2018) Non-11

household consumers relate to the medium standard non-household consumption 12

band with an annual consumption of electricity between 500 and 2 000 MWh 13

5132 Distribution phase 11

For the distribution phase the Ecoreport tool requires the volume of the final packaged product 12

to be entered as an input Based on this volume the impact of transport of the product to the 13

site of installation is calculated In the distribution phase the final assembly per m3 packaged 14

final product is also taken into account in the EcoReport tool It also includes space heating 15

and lighting of offices executive travels ([row 62] in the EcoReport calculation sheet) per 16

product As in this preparatory study the FU is not 1 product but 1 kWh delivered energy by 17

the product the project team changed the calculations by dividing the calculated impact for 18

[row 62] by the total amount of 28405 kWh delivered energy and multiplying it with the number 19

of productsbatteries (4) 20

In addition replies to the EcoReport key questions regarding the product type and installation 21

were given as follows 22

BC1 (passenger car BEV) 23

bull lsquoIs it an ICT or consumer electronic product less than 15 kgrsquo - No 24

bull lsquoIs it an installed appliancersquo - Yes 25

bull The volume of the packaged battery is assumed to be 04 m3 (2 m 1 m 02 m) In 26

the EcoReport tool this volume is divided by the total amount of 28405 kWh delivered 27

energy and multiplied with the number of batteries (4) to calculate the amount 28

corresponding with the amount of raw materials extracted for manufacturing 29

categories It is not possible to assign end-of-life scenarios to components 11

For this product group many materials were not available in the EcoReport tool Those 12

materials were added as extra materials In total 539 of the battery weight consists of lsquoextra 13

materialsrsquo The MEErP assigns a default end-of-life scenario to these materials (see column 8 14

in Table 4) The default value for recycling within this material category is 60 10 goes to 15

incineration 29 to landfill and 1 is assumed to be reused The benefits of recycling are in 16

the MEErP EcoReport tool calculated as a percentage of the impacts from production For the 17

material category lsquoExtrarsquo MEErP assumes that the benefits of recycling are 40 of the impacts 18

from the production In other words if the impact of the production of the extra materials equals 19

1 kg CO2 eq in the impact category global warming than the benefits attributed to the recycling 20

of the same amount of extra materials in the impact category global warming are 10604 = 21

024 kg CO2 eq 22

23

Recycling of the different materials which are currently catalogued as lsquoExtra materialsrsquo will be 24

evaluated in more detail in a update of this report 25

For ferro and non-ferro metals the default assumption is that 94 is recycled at EOL 26

528 Critical Raw Materials 3

The Critical Raw Material (CRM) indicator is calculated according to MEErP 2011 There are 4

14 CRMs listed in the MEErP methodology however the number of CRMs for the EU has 5

increased to 27 in 20178 The only9 raw material within battery systems that is seen as a CRM 6

is cobalt Lithium is also used in battery systems but is still assessed as a non-critical raw 7

material by the EC10 The economic importance and the supply risk of lithium was in 2017 still 8

within the criticality threshold The criticality threshold can be passed when the demand for 9

lithium increases Therefore the CRM indicator for lithium is included in this preparatory study 10

The CRM indicator in the EcoReport tool is calculated by multiplying the weight of a CRM with 11

a characterisation factor (CF) For cobalt the CF is 002 kg Sb eq per kg cobalt The 12

EcoReport tool does not include a CF for lithium The factor for lithium can be calculated based 13

on the formula provided in the MEErP methodology report part 2 The formula is as follows 14

kg Sb equivalent per kg CRM = 451 (EU consumption [tonyr] Import dependency rate [] 15

Substitutability [] (1 ndash Recycling Rate [])) 16

All necessary values are given in the EC report lsquoStudy on the review of the list of Critical Raw 17

Materials Non-critical Raw Materials Factsheets 201711rsquo and summarized in the table below 18

55 Comparison with the Product Environmental Footprint 11

pilot 12

This section compares the results of the environmental LCA executed within this preparatory 13

study with the EcoReport 2014 tool according to the MEErP format with the results of the 14

Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) pilot on rechargeable batteries The PEF method was 15

developed by the Institute for Environment and Sustainability (IES) of the Joint Research 16

Centre (JRC) a Directorate General of the EC upon mandate of the EC Directorate General 17

Environment (DG ENV) The PEF is a harmonised methodology for the calculation of the 18

environmental performance of products (ie goods andor services) from a life cycle 19

perspective 20

Annex B contains a comparison of the MEErP environmental impact categories with PEF 21

environmental impact categories Both methodologies apply different principles (eg regarding 22

end-of-life) The comparison included in this preparatory study is just to check whether 23

the order of magnitude of the results is in the same range 24

In the rechargeable batteries PEF pilot the following four batteries were assessed Li-ion in 25

cordless power tools Li-ion in ICT NiMH in ICT and Li-ion in e-mobility Only the latter is 26

comparable with one of the BCs within this preparatory study ie BC1 the BEV passenger 27

car The only impact category that is directly comparable (same environmental impact and 28

expressed in a similar unit) is the impact category lsquoglobal warmingrsquo (see Annex B) Only the 29

impact caused in the production phase are compared as the scenarios for the 30

distribution use phase and EOL within the MEErP methodology are very different to 31

the one in the PEF pilot 32

Annex B Product environmental footprint compared to MEErP 1

Ecoreport tool 2

3

The Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) method14 was developed by the EURpean 4

Commission as part of the Single Market for Green Products Initiative15 The EURpean 5

Commission proposes the PEF method as a common way of measuring environmental 6

performance of products During several pilot projects16 Product Environmental Footprint 7

Category Rules (PEFCR) were developed for several product groups One of these product 8

groups was the product group of lsquoRechargeable batteriesrsquo 9

10

In 2005 the Methodology for Ecodesign of Energy-using Products (MEEuP) was developed 11

for assessing whether and which ecodesign requirements are appropriate for energy-using 12

products under the Ecodesign Directive Following the revision of the Ecodesign Directive and 13

the extension of its scope to energy-related products in 2009 the Commission reviewed the 14

effectiveness of the MEEuP with a view to extend it to energy-related products The updated 15

methodology MEErP has been endorsed by the Ecodesign Consultation Forum of 20 January 16

2012 and shall be used as basis for ecodesign and energy labelling preparatory studies The 17

MEErP methodology consists of seven tasks of which Task 5 is on lsquoEnvironment and 18

Economicsrsquo For MEErP assessments a reporting tool called EcoReport was developed that 19

facilitates the necessary calculations to translate product-specific characteristics into 20

environmental impact indicators per product 21

22

This annex compares the impact categories used in the PEF methodology and the MEErP 23

methodology (subtask 52 environmental impact assessment) which have both been 24

developed to assess the environmental impact of products 25

26

Environmental impact categories 27

PEF considers 16 environmental impact categories MEErP considers 13 environmental 28

impact categories Table 13 gives an overview of the impact categories considered in both 29

methodologies Common impact categories are lsquoClimate changersquo lsquoParticulate matterrsquo 30

lsquoAcidificationrsquo lsquoEutrophicationrsquo and lsquoWater usersquo Only the impact category climate change is 31

expressed in a common unit 32

The EcoReport tool contains fixed impacts on weight basis for manufacturing of components 5

These data are used in the study The only variable that can be edited in this section is the 6

percentage of sheet metal scrap The default value given by the EcoReport tool is 25 This 7

value is reduced to 10 which is a recommended value for folded sheets mentioned in the 8

MEErP methodology report 9

10

5132 Distribution phase 11

For the distribution phase the Ecoreport tool requires the volume of the final packaged product 12

to be entered as an input Based on this volume the impact of transport of the product to the 13

site of installation is calculated In the distribution phase the final assembly per m3 packaged 14

final product is also taken into account in the EcoReport tool It also includes space heating 15

and lighting of offices executive travels ([row 62] in the EcoReport calculation sheet) per 16

product As in this preparatory study the FU is not 1 product but 1 kWh delivered energy by 17

the product the project team changed the calculations by dividing the calculated impact for 18

[row 62] by the total amount of 28405 kWh delivered energy and multiplying it with the number 19

of productsbatteries (4) 20

In addition replies to the EcoReport key questions regarding the product type and installation 21

were given as follows 22

BC1 (passenger car BEV) 23

bull lsquoIs it an ICT or consumer electronic product less than 15 kgrsquo - No 24

bull lsquoIs it an installed appliancersquo - Yes 25

bull The volume of the packaged battery is assumed to be 04 m3 (2 m 1 m 02 m) In 26

the EcoReport tool this volume is divided by the total amount of 28405 kWh delivered 27

energy and multiplied with the number of batteries (4) to calculate the amount 28

corresponding with the amount of raw materials extracted for manufacturing 29

Aspects of the other BCs to be added in later update 30

31

5133 Use phase 32

The following aspects are taken into account to model direct and indirect losses during the 33

use phase 34

bull Direct losses in the battery and energy efficiency for BC1 (passenger car BEV) 35

Energy efficiency = ŋcoul x ŋv = 96 or 4 direct losses to be applied on the 36

functional unit (includes brake energy recovery) 37

bull Indirect losses in the battery charger for BC1 (passenger car BEV) 38

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

19

Charger efficiency = 95 or 5 direct losses to be applied to the total amount of 1

functional units minus the assumption on brake energy recovery (15 ) 2

bull Indirect losses from the thermal management system for BC1 (passenger car 3

BEV) 4

An indirect loss of 1 is assumed 5

6

Aspects of the other BCs to be added in later update 7

5134 End-of-Life phase 8

Default end-of-life (EOL) values from the MEErP EcoReport tool have been used They are 9

provided in Table 4 In the EcoReport tool end-of-life scenarios are assigned to material 10

categories It is not possible to assign end-of-life scenarios to components 11

For this product group many materials were not available in the EcoReport tool Those 12

materials were added as extra materials In total 539 of the battery weight consists of lsquoextra 13

materialsrsquo The MEErP assigns a default end-of-life scenario to these materials (see column 8 14

in Table 4) The default value for recycling within this material category is 60 10 goes to 15

incineration 29 to landfill and 1 is assumed to be reused The benefits of recycling are in 16

the MEErP EcoReport tool calculated as a percentage of the impacts from production For the 17

material category lsquoExtrarsquo MEErP assumes that the benefits of recycling are 40 of the impacts 18

from the production In other words if the impact of the production of the extra materials equals 19

1 kg CO2 eq in the impact category global warming than the benefits attributed to the recycling 20

of the same amount of extra materials in the impact category global warming are 10604 = 21

024 kg CO2 eq 22

23

Recycling of the different materials which are currently catalogued as lsquoExtra materialsrsquo will be 24

evaluated in more detail in a update of this report 25

For ferro and non-ferro metals the default assumption is that 94 is recycled at EOL 26

528 Critical Raw Materials 3

The Critical Raw Material (CRM) indicator is calculated according to MEErP 2011 There are 4

14 CRMs listed in the MEErP methodology however the number of CRMs for the EU has 5

increased to 27 in 20178 The only9 raw material within battery systems that is seen as a CRM 6

is cobalt Lithium is also used in battery systems but is still assessed as a non-critical raw 7

material by the EC10 The economic importance and the supply risk of lithium was in 2017 still 8

within the criticality threshold The criticality threshold can be passed when the demand for 9

lithium increases Therefore the CRM indicator for lithium is included in this preparatory study 10

The CRM indicator in the EcoReport tool is calculated by multiplying the weight of a CRM with 11

a characterisation factor (CF) For cobalt the CF is 002 kg Sb eq per kg cobalt The 12

EcoReport tool does not include a CF for lithium The factor for lithium can be calculated based 13

on the formula provided in the MEErP methodology report part 2 The formula is as follows 14

kg Sb equivalent per kg CRM = 451 (EU consumption [tonyr] Import dependency rate [] 15

Substitutability [] (1 ndash Recycling Rate [])) 16

All necessary values are given in the EC report lsquoStudy on the review of the list of Critical Raw 17

Materials Non-critical Raw Materials Factsheets 201711rsquo and summarized in the table below 18

55 Comparison with the Product Environmental Footprint 11

pilot 12

This section compares the results of the environmental LCA executed within this preparatory 13

study with the EcoReport 2014 tool according to the MEErP format with the results of the 14

Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) pilot on rechargeable batteries The PEF method was 15

developed by the Institute for Environment and Sustainability (IES) of the Joint Research 16

Centre (JRC) a Directorate General of the EC upon mandate of the EC Directorate General 17

Environment (DG ENV) The PEF is a harmonised methodology for the calculation of the 18

environmental performance of products (ie goods andor services) from a life cycle 19

perspective 20

Annex B contains a comparison of the MEErP environmental impact categories with PEF 21

environmental impact categories Both methodologies apply different principles (eg regarding 22

end-of-life) The comparison included in this preparatory study is just to check whether 23

the order of magnitude of the results is in the same range 24

In the rechargeable batteries PEF pilot the following four batteries were assessed Li-ion in 25

cordless power tools Li-ion in ICT NiMH in ICT and Li-ion in e-mobility Only the latter is 26

comparable with one of the BCs within this preparatory study ie BC1 the BEV passenger 27

car The only impact category that is directly comparable (same environmental impact and 28

expressed in a similar unit) is the impact category lsquoglobal warmingrsquo (see Annex B) Only the 29

impact caused in the production phase are compared as the scenarios for the 30

distribution use phase and EOL within the MEErP methodology are very different to 31

the one in the PEF pilot 32

Annex B Product environmental footprint compared to MEErP 1

Ecoreport tool 2

3

The Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) method14 was developed by the EURpean 4

Commission as part of the Single Market for Green Products Initiative15 The EURpean 5

Commission proposes the PEF method as a common way of measuring environmental 6

performance of products During several pilot projects16 Product Environmental Footprint 7

Category Rules (PEFCR) were developed for several product groups One of these product 8

groups was the product group of lsquoRechargeable batteriesrsquo 9

10

In 2005 the Methodology for Ecodesign of Energy-using Products (MEEuP) was developed 11

for assessing whether and which ecodesign requirements are appropriate for energy-using 12

products under the Ecodesign Directive Following the revision of the Ecodesign Directive and 13

the extension of its scope to energy-related products in 2009 the Commission reviewed the 14

effectiveness of the MEEuP with a view to extend it to energy-related products The updated 15

methodology MEErP has been endorsed by the Ecodesign Consultation Forum of 20 January 16

2012 and shall be used as basis for ecodesign and energy labelling preparatory studies The 17

MEErP methodology consists of seven tasks of which Task 5 is on lsquoEnvironment and 18

Economicsrsquo For MEErP assessments a reporting tool called EcoReport was developed that 19

facilitates the necessary calculations to translate product-specific characteristics into 20

environmental impact indicators per product 21

22

This annex compares the impact categories used in the PEF methodology and the MEErP 23

methodology (subtask 52 environmental impact assessment) which have both been 24

developed to assess the environmental impact of products 25

26

Environmental impact categories 27

PEF considers 16 environmental impact categories MEErP considers 13 environmental 28

impact categories Table 13 gives an overview of the impact categories considered in both 29

methodologies Common impact categories are lsquoClimate changersquo lsquoParticulate matterrsquo 30

lsquoAcidificationrsquo lsquoEutrophicationrsquo and lsquoWater usersquo Only the impact category climate change is 31

expressed in a common unit 32

The EcoReport tool contains fixed impacts on weight basis for manufacturing of components 5

These data are used in the study The only variable that can be edited in this section is the 6

percentage of sheet metal scrap The default value given by the EcoReport tool is 25 This 7

value is reduced to 10 which is a recommended value for folded sheets mentioned in the 8

MEErP methodology report 9

10

5132 Distribution phase 11

For the distribution phase the Ecoreport tool requires the volume of the final packaged product 12

to be entered as an input Based on this volume the impact of transport of the product to the 13

site of installation is calculated In the distribution phase the final assembly per m3 packaged 14

final product is also taken into account in the EcoReport tool It also includes space heating 15

and lighting of offices executive travels ([row 62] in the EcoReport calculation sheet) per 16

product As in this preparatory study the FU is not 1 product but 1 kWh delivered energy by 17

the product the project team changed the calculations by dividing the calculated impact for 18

[row 62] by the total amount of 28405 kWh delivered energy and multiplying it with the number 19

of productsbatteries (4) 20

In addition replies to the EcoReport key questions regarding the product type and installation 21

were given as follows 22

BC1 (passenger car BEV) 23

bull lsquoIs it an ICT or consumer electronic product less than 15 kgrsquo - No 24

bull lsquoIs it an installed appliancersquo - Yes 25

bull The volume of the packaged battery is assumed to be 04 m3 (2 m 1 m 02 m) In 26

the EcoReport tool this volume is divided by the total amount of 28405 kWh delivered 27

energy and multiplied with the number of batteries (4) to calculate the amount 28

corresponding with the amount of raw materials extracted for manufacturing 29

Aspects of the other BCs to be added in later update 30

31

5133 Use phase 32

The following aspects are taken into account to model direct and indirect losses during the 33

use phase 34

bull Direct losses in the battery and energy efficiency for BC1 (passenger car BEV) 35

Energy efficiency = ŋcoul x ŋv = 96 or 4 direct losses to be applied on the 36

functional unit (includes brake energy recovery) 37

bull Indirect losses in the battery charger for BC1 (passenger car BEV) 38

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

19

Charger efficiency = 95 or 5 direct losses to be applied to the total amount of 1

functional units minus the assumption on brake energy recovery (15 ) 2

bull Indirect losses from the thermal management system for BC1 (passenger car 3

BEV) 4

An indirect loss of 1 is assumed 5

6

Aspects of the other BCs to be added in later update 7

5134 End-of-Life phase 8

Default end-of-life (EOL) values from the MEErP EcoReport tool have been used They are 9

provided in Table 4 In the EcoReport tool end-of-life scenarios are assigned to material 10

categories It is not possible to assign end-of-life scenarios to components 11

For this product group many materials were not available in the EcoReport tool Those 12

materials were added as extra materials In total 539 of the battery weight consists of lsquoextra 13

materialsrsquo The MEErP assigns a default end-of-life scenario to these materials (see column 8 14

in Table 4) The default value for recycling within this material category is 60 10 goes to 15

incineration 29 to landfill and 1 is assumed to be reused The benefits of recycling are in 16

the MEErP EcoReport tool calculated as a percentage of the impacts from production For the 17

material category lsquoExtrarsquo MEErP assumes that the benefits of recycling are 40 of the impacts 18

from the production In other words if the impact of the production of the extra materials equals 19

1 kg CO2 eq in the impact category global warming than the benefits attributed to the recycling 20

of the same amount of extra materials in the impact category global warming are 10604 = 21

024 kg CO2 eq 22

23

Recycling of the different materials which are currently catalogued as lsquoExtra materialsrsquo will be 24

evaluated in more detail in a update of this report 25

For ferro and non-ferro metals the default assumption is that 94 is recycled at EOL 26

528 Critical Raw Materials 3

The Critical Raw Material (CRM) indicator is calculated according to MEErP 2011 There are 4

14 CRMs listed in the MEErP methodology however the number of CRMs for the EU has 5

increased to 27 in 20178 The only9 raw material within battery systems that is seen as a CRM 6

is cobalt Lithium is also used in battery systems but is still assessed as a non-critical raw 7

material by the EC10 The economic importance and the supply risk of lithium was in 2017 still 8

within the criticality threshold The criticality threshold can be passed when the demand for 9

lithium increases Therefore the CRM indicator for lithium is included in this preparatory study 10

The CRM indicator in the EcoReport tool is calculated by multiplying the weight of a CRM with 11

a characterisation factor (CF) For cobalt the CF is 002 kg Sb eq per kg cobalt The 12

EcoReport tool does not include a CF for lithium The factor for lithium can be calculated based 13

on the formula provided in the MEErP methodology report part 2 The formula is as follows 14

kg Sb equivalent per kg CRM = 451 (EU consumption [tonyr] Import dependency rate [] 15

Substitutability [] (1 ndash Recycling Rate [])) 16

All necessary values are given in the EC report lsquoStudy on the review of the list of Critical Raw 17

Materials Non-critical Raw Materials Factsheets 201711rsquo and summarized in the table below 18

55 Comparison with the Product Environmental Footprint 11

pilot 12

This section compares the results of the environmental LCA executed within this preparatory 13

study with the EcoReport 2014 tool according to the MEErP format with the results of the 14

Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) pilot on rechargeable batteries The PEF method was 15

developed by the Institute for Environment and Sustainability (IES) of the Joint Research 16

Centre (JRC) a Directorate General of the EC upon mandate of the EC Directorate General 17

Environment (DG ENV) The PEF is a harmonised methodology for the calculation of the 18

environmental performance of products (ie goods andor services) from a life cycle 19

perspective 20

Annex B contains a comparison of the MEErP environmental impact categories with PEF 21

environmental impact categories Both methodologies apply different principles (eg regarding 22

end-of-life) The comparison included in this preparatory study is just to check whether 23

the order of magnitude of the results is in the same range 24

In the rechargeable batteries PEF pilot the following four batteries were assessed Li-ion in 25

cordless power tools Li-ion in ICT NiMH in ICT and Li-ion in e-mobility Only the latter is 26

comparable with one of the BCs within this preparatory study ie BC1 the BEV passenger 27

car The only impact category that is directly comparable (same environmental impact and 28

expressed in a similar unit) is the impact category lsquoglobal warmingrsquo (see Annex B) Only the 29

impact caused in the production phase are compared as the scenarios for the 30

distribution use phase and EOL within the MEErP methodology are very different to 31

the one in the PEF pilot 32

Annex B Product environmental footprint compared to MEErP 1

Ecoreport tool 2

3

The Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) method14 was developed by the EURpean 4

Commission as part of the Single Market for Green Products Initiative15 The EURpean 5

Commission proposes the PEF method as a common way of measuring environmental 6

performance of products During several pilot projects16 Product Environmental Footprint 7

Category Rules (PEFCR) were developed for several product groups One of these product 8

groups was the product group of lsquoRechargeable batteriesrsquo 9

10

In 2005 the Methodology for Ecodesign of Energy-using Products (MEEuP) was developed 11

for assessing whether and which ecodesign requirements are appropriate for energy-using 12

products under the Ecodesign Directive Following the revision of the Ecodesign Directive and 13

the extension of its scope to energy-related products in 2009 the Commission reviewed the 14

effectiveness of the MEEuP with a view to extend it to energy-related products The updated 15

methodology MEErP has been endorsed by the Ecodesign Consultation Forum of 20 January 16

2012 and shall be used as basis for ecodesign and energy labelling preparatory studies The 17

MEErP methodology consists of seven tasks of which Task 5 is on lsquoEnvironment and 18

Economicsrsquo For MEErP assessments a reporting tool called EcoReport was developed that 19

facilitates the necessary calculations to translate product-specific characteristics into 20

environmental impact indicators per product 21

22

This annex compares the impact categories used in the PEF methodology and the MEErP 23

methodology (subtask 52 environmental impact assessment) which have both been 24

developed to assess the environmental impact of products 25

26

Environmental impact categories 27

PEF considers 16 environmental impact categories MEErP considers 13 environmental 28

impact categories Table 13 gives an overview of the impact categories considered in both 29

methodologies Common impact categories are lsquoClimate changersquo lsquoParticulate matterrsquo 30

lsquoAcidificationrsquo lsquoEutrophicationrsquo and lsquoWater usersquo Only the impact category climate change is 31

expressed in a common unit 32

51318 Additional material loss during production phase 4

The EcoReport tool contains fixed impacts on weight basis for manufacturing of components 5

These data are used in the study The only variable that can be edited in this section is the 6

percentage of sheet metal scrap The default value given by the EcoReport tool is 25 This 7

value is reduced to 10 which is a recommended value for folded sheets mentioned in the 8

MEErP methodology report 9

10

5132 Distribution phase 11

For the distribution phase the Ecoreport tool requires the volume of the final packaged product 12

to be entered as an input Based on this volume the impact of transport of the product to the 13

site of installation is calculated In the distribution phase the final assembly per m3 packaged 14

final product is also taken into account in the EcoReport tool It also includes space heating 15

and lighting of offices executive travels ([row 62] in the EcoReport calculation sheet) per 16

product As in this preparatory study the FU is not 1 product but 1 kWh delivered energy by 17

the product the project team changed the calculations by dividing the calculated impact for 18

[row 62] by the total amount of 28405 kWh delivered energy and multiplying it with the number 19

of productsbatteries (4) 20

In addition replies to the EcoReport key questions regarding the product type and installation 21

were given as follows 22

BC1 (passenger car BEV) 23

bull lsquoIs it an ICT or consumer electronic product less than 15 kgrsquo - No 24

bull lsquoIs it an installed appliancersquo - Yes 25

bull The volume of the packaged battery is assumed to be 04 m3 (2 m 1 m 02 m) In 26

the EcoReport tool this volume is divided by the total amount of 28405 kWh delivered 27

energy and multiplied with the number of batteries (4) to calculate the amount 28

corresponding with the amount of raw materials extracted for manufacturing 29

Aspects of the other BCs to be added in later update 30

31

5133 Use phase 32

The following aspects are taken into account to model direct and indirect losses during the 33

use phase 34

bull Direct losses in the battery and energy efficiency for BC1 (passenger car BEV) 35

Energy efficiency = ŋcoul x ŋv = 96 or 4 direct losses to be applied on the 36

functional unit (includes brake energy recovery) 37

bull Indirect losses in the battery charger for BC1 (passenger car BEV) 38

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

19

Charger efficiency = 95 or 5 direct losses to be applied to the total amount of 1

functional units minus the assumption on brake energy recovery (15 ) 2

bull Indirect losses from the thermal management system for BC1 (passenger car 3

BEV) 4

An indirect loss of 1 is assumed 5

6

Aspects of the other BCs to be added in later update 7

5134 End-of-Life phase 8

Default end-of-life (EOL) values from the MEErP EcoReport tool have been used They are 9

provided in Table 4 In the EcoReport tool end-of-life scenarios are assigned to material 10

categories It is not possible to assign end-of-life scenarios to components 11

For this product group many materials were not available in the EcoReport tool Those 12

materials were added as extra materials In total 539 of the battery weight consists of lsquoextra 13

materialsrsquo The MEErP assigns a default end-of-life scenario to these materials (see column 8 14

in Table 4) The default value for recycling within this material category is 60 10 goes to 15

incineration 29 to landfill and 1 is assumed to be reused The benefits of recycling are in 16

the MEErP EcoReport tool calculated as a percentage of the impacts from production For the 17

material category lsquoExtrarsquo MEErP assumes that the benefits of recycling are 40 of the impacts 18

from the production In other words if the impact of the production of the extra materials equals 19

1 kg CO2 eq in the impact category global warming than the benefits attributed to the recycling 20

of the same amount of extra materials in the impact category global warming are 10604 = 21

024 kg CO2 eq 22

23

Recycling of the different materials which are currently catalogued as lsquoExtra materialsrsquo will be 24

evaluated in more detail in a update of this report 25

For ferro and non-ferro metals the default assumption is that 94 is recycled at EOL 26

528 Critical Raw Materials 3

The Critical Raw Material (CRM) indicator is calculated according to MEErP 2011 There are 4

14 CRMs listed in the MEErP methodology however the number of CRMs for the EU has 5

increased to 27 in 20178 The only9 raw material within battery systems that is seen as a CRM 6

is cobalt Lithium is also used in battery systems but is still assessed as a non-critical raw 7

material by the EC10 The economic importance and the supply risk of lithium was in 2017 still 8

within the criticality threshold The criticality threshold can be passed when the demand for 9

lithium increases Therefore the CRM indicator for lithium is included in this preparatory study 10

The CRM indicator in the EcoReport tool is calculated by multiplying the weight of a CRM with 11

a characterisation factor (CF) For cobalt the CF is 002 kg Sb eq per kg cobalt The 12

EcoReport tool does not include a CF for lithium The factor for lithium can be calculated based 13

on the formula provided in the MEErP methodology report part 2 The formula is as follows 14

kg Sb equivalent per kg CRM = 451 (EU consumption [tonyr] Import dependency rate [] 15

Substitutability [] (1 ndash Recycling Rate [])) 16

All necessary values are given in the EC report lsquoStudy on the review of the list of Critical Raw 17

Materials Non-critical Raw Materials Factsheets 201711rsquo and summarized in the table below 18

55 Comparison with the Product Environmental Footprint 11

pilot 12

This section compares the results of the environmental LCA executed within this preparatory 13

study with the EcoReport 2014 tool according to the MEErP format with the results of the 14

Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) pilot on rechargeable batteries The PEF method was 15

developed by the Institute for Environment and Sustainability (IES) of the Joint Research 16

Centre (JRC) a Directorate General of the EC upon mandate of the EC Directorate General 17

Environment (DG ENV) The PEF is a harmonised methodology for the calculation of the 18

environmental performance of products (ie goods andor services) from a life cycle 19

perspective 20

Annex B contains a comparison of the MEErP environmental impact categories with PEF 21

environmental impact categories Both methodologies apply different principles (eg regarding 22

end-of-life) The comparison included in this preparatory study is just to check whether 23

the order of magnitude of the results is in the same range 24

In the rechargeable batteries PEF pilot the following four batteries were assessed Li-ion in 25

cordless power tools Li-ion in ICT NiMH in ICT and Li-ion in e-mobility Only the latter is 26

comparable with one of the BCs within this preparatory study ie BC1 the BEV passenger 27

car The only impact category that is directly comparable (same environmental impact and 28

expressed in a similar unit) is the impact category lsquoglobal warmingrsquo (see Annex B) Only the 29

impact caused in the production phase are compared as the scenarios for the 30

distribution use phase and EOL within the MEErP methodology are very different to 31

the one in the PEF pilot 32

Annex B Product environmental footprint compared to MEErP 1

Ecoreport tool 2

3

The Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) method14 was developed by the EURpean 4

Commission as part of the Single Market for Green Products Initiative15 The EURpean 5

Commission proposes the PEF method as a common way of measuring environmental 6

performance of products During several pilot projects16 Product Environmental Footprint 7

Category Rules (PEFCR) were developed for several product groups One of these product 8

groups was the product group of lsquoRechargeable batteriesrsquo 9

10

In 2005 the Methodology for Ecodesign of Energy-using Products (MEEuP) was developed 11

for assessing whether and which ecodesign requirements are appropriate for energy-using 12

products under the Ecodesign Directive Following the revision of the Ecodesign Directive and 13

the extension of its scope to energy-related products in 2009 the Commission reviewed the 14

effectiveness of the MEEuP with a view to extend it to energy-related products The updated 15

methodology MEErP has been endorsed by the Ecodesign Consultation Forum of 20 January 16

2012 and shall be used as basis for ecodesign and energy labelling preparatory studies The 17

MEErP methodology consists of seven tasks of which Task 5 is on lsquoEnvironment and 18

Economicsrsquo For MEErP assessments a reporting tool called EcoReport was developed that 19

facilitates the necessary calculations to translate product-specific characteristics into 20

environmental impact indicators per product 21

22

This annex compares the impact categories used in the PEF methodology and the MEErP 23

methodology (subtask 52 environmental impact assessment) which have both been 24

developed to assess the environmental impact of products 25

26

Environmental impact categories 27

PEF considers 16 environmental impact categories MEErP considers 13 environmental 28

impact categories Table 13 gives an overview of the impact categories considered in both 29

methodologies Common impact categories are lsquoClimate changersquo lsquoParticulate matterrsquo 30

lsquoAcidificationrsquo lsquoEutrophicationrsquo and lsquoWater usersquo Only the impact category climate change is 31

expressed in a common unit 32

5132 Distribution phase 11

For the distribution phase the Ecoreport tool requires the volume of the final packaged product 12

to be entered as an input Based on this volume the impact of transport of the product to the 13

site of installation is calculated In the distribution phase the final assembly per m3 packaged 14

final product is also taken into account in the EcoReport tool It also includes space heating 15

and lighting of offices executive travels ([row 62] in the EcoReport calculation sheet) per 16

product As in this preparatory study the FU is not 1 product but 1 kWh delivered energy by 17

the product the project team changed the calculations by dividing the calculated impact for 18

[row 62] by the total amount of 28405 kWh delivered energy and multiplying it with the number 19

of productsbatteries (4) 20

In addition replies to the EcoReport key questions regarding the product type and installation 21

were given as follows 22

bull lsquoIs it an ICT or consumer electronic product less than 15 kgrsquo - No 24

bull lsquoIs it an installed appliancersquo - Yes 25

bull The volume of the packaged battery is assumed to be 04 m3 (2 m 1 m 02 m) In 26

the EcoReport tool this volume is divided by the total amount of 28405 kWh delivered 27

energy and multiplied with the number of batteries (4) to calculate the amount 28

corresponding with the amount of raw materials extracted for manufacturing 29

materialsrsquo The MEErP assigns a default end-of-life scenario to these materials (see column 8 14

in Table 4) The default value for recycling within this material category is 60 10 goes to 15

incineration 29 to landfill and 1 is assumed to be reused The benefits of recycling are in 16

the MEErP EcoReport tool calculated as a percentage of the impacts from production For the 17

material category lsquoExtrarsquo MEErP assumes that the benefits of recycling are 40 of the impacts 18

from the production In other words if the impact of the production of the extra materials equals 19

1 kg CO2 eq in the impact category global warming than the benefits attributed to the recycling 20

of the same amount of extra materials in the impact category global warming are 10604 = 21

024 kg CO2 eq 22

23

Recycling of the different materials which are currently catalogued as lsquoExtra materialsrsquo will be 24

evaluated in more detail in a update of this report 25

For ferro and non-ferro metals the default assumption is that 94 is recycled at EOL 26

528 Critical Raw Materials 3

The Critical Raw Material (CRM) indicator is calculated according to MEErP 2011 There are 4

14 CRMs listed in the MEErP methodology however the number of CRMs for the EU has 5

increased to 27 in 20178 The only9 raw material within battery systems that is seen as a CRM 6

is cobalt Lithium is also used in battery systems but is still assessed as a non-critical raw 7

material by the EC10 The economic importance and the supply risk of lithium was in 2017 still 8

within the criticality threshold The criticality threshold can be passed when the demand for 9

lithium increases Therefore the CRM indicator for lithium is included in this preparatory study 10

The CRM indicator in the EcoReport tool is calculated by multiplying the weight of a CRM with 11

a characterisation factor (CF) For cobalt the CF is 002 kg Sb eq per kg cobalt The 12

EcoReport tool does not include a CF for lithium The factor for lithium can be calculated based 13

on the formula provided in the MEErP methodology report part 2 The formula is as follows 14

kg Sb equivalent per kg CRM = 451 (EU consumption [tonyr] Import dependency rate [] 15

Substitutability [] (1 ndash Recycling Rate [])) 16

All necessary values are given in the EC report lsquoStudy on the review of the list of Critical Raw 17

Materials Non-critical Raw Materials Factsheets 201711rsquo and summarized in the table below 18

55 Comparison with the Product Environmental Footprint 11

pilot 12

This section compares the results of the environmental LCA executed within this preparatory 13

study with the EcoReport 2014 tool according to the MEErP format with the results of the 14

Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) pilot on rechargeable batteries The PEF method was 15

developed by the Institute for Environment and Sustainability (IES) of the Joint Research 16

Centre (JRC) a Directorate General of the EC upon mandate of the EC Directorate General 17

Environment (DG ENV) The PEF is a harmonised methodology for the calculation of the 18

environmental performance of products (ie goods andor services) from a life cycle 19

perspective 20

Annex B contains a comparison of the MEErP environmental impact categories with PEF 21

environmental impact categories Both methodologies apply different principles (eg regarding 22

end-of-life) The comparison included in this preparatory study is just to check whether 23

the order of magnitude of the results is in the same range 24

In the rechargeable batteries PEF pilot the following four batteries were assessed Li-ion in 25

cordless power tools Li-ion in ICT NiMH in ICT and Li-ion in e-mobility Only the latter is 26

comparable with one of the BCs within this preparatory study ie BC1 the BEV passenger 27

car The only impact category that is directly comparable (same environmental impact and 28

expressed in a similar unit) is the impact category lsquoglobal warmingrsquo (see Annex B) Only the 29

impact caused in the production phase are compared as the scenarios for the 30

distribution use phase and EOL within the MEErP methodology are very different to 31

the one in the PEF pilot 32

Annex B Product environmental footprint compared to MEErP 1

Ecoreport tool 2

3

The Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) method14 was developed by the EURpean 4

Commission as part of the Single Market for Green Products Initiative15 The EURpean 5

Commission proposes the PEF method as a common way of measuring environmental 6

performance of products During several pilot projects16 Product Environmental Footprint 7

Category Rules (PEFCR) were developed for several product groups One of these product 8

groups was the product group of lsquoRechargeable batteriesrsquo 9

10

In 2005 the Methodology for Ecodesign of Energy-using Products (MEEuP) was developed 11

for assessing whether and which ecodesign requirements are appropriate for energy-using 12

products under the Ecodesign Directive Following the revision of the Ecodesign Directive and 13

the extension of its scope to energy-related products in 2009 the Commission reviewed the 14

effectiveness of the MEEuP with a view to extend it to energy-related products The updated 15

methodology MEErP has been endorsed by the Ecodesign Consultation Forum of 20 January 16

2012 and shall be used as basis for ecodesign and energy labelling preparatory studies The 17

MEErP methodology consists of seven tasks of which Task 5 is on lsquoEnvironment and 18

Economicsrsquo For MEErP assessments a reporting tool called EcoReport was developed that 19

facilitates the necessary calculations to translate product-specific characteristics into 20

environmental impact indicators per product 21

22

This annex compares the impact categories used in the PEF methodology and the MEErP 23

methodology (subtask 52 environmental impact assessment) which have both been 24

developed to assess the environmental impact of products 25

26

Environmental impact categories 27

PEF considers 16 environmental impact categories MEErP considers 13 environmental 28

impact categories Table 13 gives an overview of the impact categories considered in both 29

methodologies Common impact categories are lsquoClimate changersquo lsquoParticulate matterrsquo 30

lsquoAcidificationrsquo lsquoEutrophicationrsquo and lsquoWater usersquo Only the impact category climate change is 31

expressed in a common unit 32

The EcoReport tool contains fixed impacts on weight basis for manufacturing of components 5

These data are used in the study The only variable that can be edited in this section is the 6

percentage of sheet metal scrap The default value given by the EcoReport tool is 25 This 7

value is reduced to 10 which is a recommended value for folded sheets mentioned in the 8

MEErP methodology report 9

10

5132 Distribution phase 11

For the distribution phase the Ecoreport tool requires the volume of the final packaged product 12

to be entered as an input Based on this volume the impact of transport of the product to the 13

site of installation is calculated In the distribution phase the final assembly per m3 packaged 14

final product is also taken into account in the EcoReport tool It also includes space heating 15

and lighting of offices executive travels ([row 62] in the EcoReport calculation sheet) per 16

product As in this preparatory study the FU is not 1 product but 1 kWh delivered energy by 17

the product the project team changed the calculations by dividing the calculated impact for 18

[row 62] by the total amount of 28405 kWh delivered energy and multiplying it with the number 19

of productsbatteries (4) 20

In addition replies to the EcoReport key questions regarding the product type and installation 21

were given as follows 22

BC1 (passenger car BEV) 23

bull lsquoIs it an ICT or consumer electronic product less than 15 kgrsquo - No 24

bull lsquoIs it an installed appliancersquo - Yes 25

bull The volume of the packaged battery is assumed to be 04 m3 (2 m 1 m 02 m) In 26

the EcoReport tool this volume is divided by the total amount of 28405 kWh delivered 27

energy and multiplied with the number of batteries (4) to calculate the amount 28

corresponding with the amount of raw materials extracted for manufacturing 29

Aspects of the other BCs to be added in later update 30

31

5133 Use phase 32

The following aspects are taken into account to model direct and indirect losses during the 33

use phase 34

bull Direct losses in the battery and energy efficiency for BC1 (passenger car BEV) 35

Energy efficiency = ŋcoul x ŋv = 96 or 4 direct losses to be applied on the 36

functional unit (includes brake energy recovery) 37

bull Indirect losses in the battery charger for BC1 (passenger car BEV) 38

Preparatory study on Ecodesign and Energy Labelling of batteries

19

Charger efficiency = 95 or 5 direct losses to be applied to the total amount of 1

functional units minus the assumption on brake energy recovery (15 ) 2

bull Indirect losses from the thermal management system for BC1 (passenger car 3

BEV) 4

An indirect loss of 1 is assumed 5

Aspects of the other BCs to be added in later update 7

5134 End-of-Life phase 8

Default end-of-life (EOL) values from the MEErP EcoReport tool have been used They are 9

provided in Table 4 In the EcoReport tool end-of-life scenarios are assigned to material 10

categories It is not possible to assign end-of-life scenarios to components 11

For this product group many materials were not available in the EcoReport tool Those 12

materials were added as extra materials In total 539 of the battery weight consists of lsquoextra 13

materialsrsquo The MEErP assigns a default end-of-life scenario to these materials (see column 8 14

in Table 4) The default value for recycling within this material category is 60 10 goes to 15

incineration 29 to landfill and 1 is assumed to be reused The benefits of recycling are in 16

the MEErP EcoReport tool calculated as a percentage of the impacts from production For the 17

material category lsquoExtrarsquo MEErP assumes that the benefits of recycling are 40 of the impacts 18

from the production In other words if the impact of the production of the extra materials equals 19

1 kg CO2 eq in the impact category global warming than the benefits attributed to the recycling 20

of the same amount of extra materials in the impact category global warming are 10604 = 21

024 kg CO2 eq 22

23

Recycling of the different materials which are currently catalogued as lsquoExtra materialsrsquo will be 24

evaluated in more detail in a update of this report 25

For ferro and non-ferro metals the default assumption is that 94 is recycled at EOL 26

528 Critical Raw Materials 3

The Critical Raw Material (CRM) indicator is calculated according to MEErP 2011 There are 4

14 CRMs listed in the MEErP methodology however the number of CRMs for the EU has 5

increased to 27 in 20178 The only9 raw material within battery systems that is seen as a CRM 6

is cobalt Lithium is also used in battery systems but is still assessed as a non-critical raw 7

material by the EC10 The economic importance and the supply risk of lithium was in 2017 still 8

within the criticality threshold The criticality threshold can be passed when the demand for 9

lithium increases Therefore the CRM indicator for lithium is included in this preparatory study 10

The CRM indicator in the EcoReport tool is calculated by multiplying the weight of a CRM with 11

a characterisation factor (CF) For cobalt the CF is 002 kg Sb eq per kg cobalt The 12

55 Comparison with the Product Environmental Footprint 11

pilot 12

This section compares the results of the environmental LCA executed within this preparatory 13

study with the EcoReport 2014 tool according to the MEErP format with the results of the 14

Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) pilot on rechargeable batteries The PEF method was 15

developed by the Institute for Environment and Sustainability (IES) of the Joint Research 16

Centre (JRC) a Directorate General of the EC upon mandate of the EC Directorate General 17

Environment (DG ENV) The PEF is a harmonised methodology for the calculation of the 18

environmental performance of products (ie goods andor services) from a life cycle 19

perspective 20

Annex B contains a comparison of the MEErP environmental impact categories with PEF 21

environmental impact categories Both methodologies apply different principles (eg regarding 22

end-of-life) The comparison included in this preparatory study is just to check whether 23

the order of magnitude of the results is in the same range 24

In the rechargeable batteries PEF pilot the following four batteries were assessed Li-ion in 25

cordless power tools Li-ion in ICT NiMH in ICT and Li-ion in e-mobility Only the latter is 26

comparable with one of the BCs within this preparatory study ie BC1 the BEV passenger 27

car The only impact category that is directly comparable (same environmental impact and 28

expressed in a similar unit) is the impact category lsquoglobal warmingrsquo (see Annex B) Only the 29

impact caused in the production phase are compared as the scenarios for the 30

distribution use phase and EOL within the MEErP methodology are very different to 31

the one in the PEF pilot 32

Annex B Product environmental footprint compared to MEErP 1

Ecoreport tool 2

3

The Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) method14 was developed by the EURpean 4

Commission as part of the Single Market for Green Products Initiative15 The EURpean 5

Commission proposes the PEF method as a common way of measuring environmental 6

performance of products During several pilot projects16 Product Environmental Footprint 7

Category Rules (PEFCR) were developed for several product groups One of these product 8

groups was the product group of lsquoRechargeable batteriesrsquo 9

10

In 2005 the Methodology for Ecodesign of Energy-using Products (MEEuP) was developed 11

for assessing whether and which ecodesign requirements are appropriate for energy-using 12

products under the Ecodesign Directive Following the revision of the Ecodesign Directive and 13

the extension of its scope to energy-related products in 2009 the Commission reviewed the 14

effectiveness of the MEEuP with a view to extend it to energy-related products The updated 15

methodology MEErP has been endorsed by the Ecodesign Consultation Forum of 20 January 16

2012 and shall be used as basis for ecodesign and energy labelling preparatory studies The 17

MEErP methodology consists of seven tasks of which Task 5 is on lsquoEnvironment and 18

Economicsrsquo For MEErP assessments a reporting tool called EcoReport was developed that 19

facilitates the necessary calculations to translate product-specific characteristics into 20

environmental impact indicators per product 21

22

This annex compares the impact categories used in the PEF methodology and the MEErP 23

methodology (subtask 52 environmental impact assessment) which have both been 24

developed to assess the environmental impact of products 25

26

Environmental impact categories 27

PEF considers 16 environmental impact categories MEErP considers 13 environmental 28

impact categories Table 13 gives an overview of the impact categories considered in both 29

methodologies Common impact categories are lsquoClimate changersquo lsquoParticulate matterrsquo 30

lsquoAcidificationrsquo lsquoEutrophicationrsquo and lsquoWater usersquo Only the impact category climate change is 31

expressed in a common unit 32

The EcoReport tool contains fixed impacts on weight basis for manufacturing of components 5

These data are used in the study The only variable that can be edited in this section is the 6

value is reduced to 10 which is a recommended value for folded sheets mentioned in the 8

MEErP methodology report 9

5132 Distribution phase 11

For the distribution phase the Ecoreport tool requires the volume of the final packaged product 12

to be entered as an input Based on this volume the impact of transport of the product to the 13

site of installation is calculated In the distribution phase the final assembly per m3 packaged 14

final product is also taken into account in the EcoReport tool It also includes space heating 15

and lighting of offices executive travels ([row 62] in the EcoReport calculation sheet) per 16

product As in this preparatory study the FU is not 1 product but 1 kWh delivered energy by 17

the product the project team changed the calculations by dividing the calculated impact for 18

[row 62] by the total amount of 28405 kWh delivered energy and multiplying it with the number 19

of productsbatteries (4) 20

In addition replies to the EcoReport key questions regarding the product type and installation 21

were given as follows 22

BC1 (passenger car BEV) 23

bull lsquoIs it an ICT or consumer electronic product less than 15 kgrsquo - No 24

bull lsquoIs it an installed appliancersquo - Yes 25

bull The volume of the packaged battery is assumed to be 04 m3 (2 m 1 m 02 m) In 26

the EcoReport tool this volume is divided by the total amount of 28405 kWh delivered 27

energy and multiplied with the number of batteries (4) to calculate the amount 28

corresponding with the amount of raw materials extracted for manufacturing 29

The following aspects are taken into account to model direct and indirect losses during the 33

use phase 34

bull Direct losses in the battery and energy efficiency for BC1 (passenger car BEV) 35

Energy efficiency = ŋcoul x ŋv = 96 or 4 direct losses to be applied on the 36

5134 End-of-Life phase 8

Default end-of-life (EOL) values from the MEErP EcoReport tool have been used They are 9

provided in Table 4 In the EcoReport tool end-of-life scenarios are assigned to material 10

categories It is not possible to assign end-of-life scenarios to components 11

For this product group many materials were not available in the EcoReport tool Those 12

materials were added as extra materials In total 539 of the battery weight consists of lsquoextra 13

materialsrsquo The MEErP assigns a default end-of-life scenario to these materials (see column 8 14

in Table 4) The default value for recycling within this material category is 60 10 goes to 15

incineration 29 to landfill and 1 is assumed to be reused The benefits of recycling are in 16

the MEErP EcoReport tool calculated as a percentage of the impacts from production For the 17

material category lsquoExtrarsquo MEErP assumes that the benefits of recycling are 40 of the impacts 18

from the production In other words if the impact of the production of the extra materials equals 19

1 kg CO2 eq in the impact category global warming than the benefits attributed to the recycling 20

of the same amount of extra materials in the impact category global warming are 10604 = 21

024 kg CO2 eq 22

23

Recycling of the different materials which are currently catalogued as lsquoExtra materialsrsquo will be 24

evaluated in more detail in a update of this report 25

For ferro and non-ferro metals the default assumption is that 94 is recycled at EOL 26

528 Critical Raw Materials 3

The Critical Raw Material (CRM) indicator is calculated according to MEErP 2011 There are 4

14 CRMs listed in the MEErP methodology however the number of CRMs for the EU has 5

increased to 27 in 20178 The only9 raw material within battery systems that is seen as a CRM 6

is cobalt Lithium is also used in battery systems but is still assessed as a non-critical raw 7

material by the EC10 The economic importance and the supply risk of lithium was in 2017 still 8

within the criticality threshold The criticality threshold can be passed when the demand for 9

lithium increases Therefore the CRM indicator for lithium is included in this preparatory study 10

The CRM indicator in the EcoReport tool is calculated by multiplying the weight of a CRM with 11

a characterisation factor (CF) For cobalt the CF is 002 kg Sb eq per kg cobalt The 12

EcoReport tool does not include a CF for lithium The factor for lithium can be calculated based 13

on the formula provided in the MEErP methodology report part 2 The formula is as follows 14

kg Sb equivalent per kg CRM = 451 (EU consumption [tonyr] Import dependency rate [] 15

Substitutability [] (1 ndash Recycling Rate [])) 16

All necessary values are given in the EC report lsquoStudy on the review of the list of Critical Raw 17

Materials Non-critical Raw Materials Factsheets 201711rsquo and summarized in the table below 18

55 Comparison with the Product Environmental Footprint 11

pilot 12

This section compares the results of the environmental LCA executed within this preparatory 13

study with the EcoReport 2014 tool according to the MEErP format with the results of the 14

Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) pilot on rechargeable batteries The PEF method was 15

developed by the Institute for Environment and Sustainability (IES) of the Joint Research 16

Centre (JRC) a Directorate General of the EC upon mandate of the EC Directorate General 17

Environment (DG ENV) The PEF is a harmonised methodology for the calculation of the 18

environmental performance of products (ie goods andor services) from a life cycle 19

perspective 20

Annex B contains a comparison of the MEErP environmental impact categories with PEF 21

environmental impact categories Both methodologies apply different principles (eg regarding 22

end-of-life) The comparison included in this preparatory study is just to check whether 23

the order of magnitude of the results is in the same range 24

In the rechargeable batteries PEF pilot the following four batteries were assessed Li-ion in 25

cordless power tools Li-ion in ICT NiMH in ICT and Li-ion in e-mobility Only the latter is 26

comparable with one of the BCs within this preparatory study ie BC1 the BEV passenger 27

car The only impact category that is directly comparable (same environmental impact and 28

expressed in a similar unit) is the impact category lsquoglobal warmingrsquo (see Annex B) Only the 29

impact caused in the production phase are compared as the scenarios for the 30

distribution use phase and EOL within the MEErP methodology are very different to 31

the one in the PEF pilot 32

Annex B Product environmental footprint compared to MEErP 1

Ecoreport tool 2

3

The Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) method14 was developed by the EURpean 4

Commission as part of the Single Market for Green Products Initiative15 The EURpean 5

Commission proposes the PEF method as a common way of measuring environmental 6

performance of products During several pilot projects16 Product Environmental Footprint 7

Category Rules (PEFCR) were developed for several product groups One of these product 8

groups was the product group of lsquoRechargeable batteriesrsquo 9

10

In 2005 the Methodology for Ecodesign of Energy-using Products (MEEuP) was developed 11

for assessing whether and which ecodesign requirements are appropriate for energy-using 12

products under the Ecodesign Directive Following the revision of the Ecodesign Directive and 13

the extension of its scope to energy-related products in 2009 the Commission reviewed the 14

effectiveness of the MEEuP with a view to extend it to energy-related products The updated 15

methodology MEErP has been endorsed by the Ecodesign Consultation Forum of 20 January 16

2012 and shall be used as basis for ecodesign and energy labelling preparatory studies The 17

MEErP methodology consists of seven tasks of which Task 5 is on lsquoEnvironment and 18

Economicsrsquo For MEErP assessments a reporting tool called EcoReport was developed that 19

facilitates the necessary calculations to translate product-specific characteristics into 20

environmental impact indicators per product 21

22

This annex compares the impact categories used in the PEF methodology and the MEErP 23

methodology (subtask 52 environmental impact assessment) which have both been 24

developed to assess the environmental impact of products 25

26

Environmental impact categories 27

PEF considers 16 environmental impact categories MEErP considers 13 environmental 28

impact categories Table 13 gives an overview of the impact categories considered in both 29

methodologies Common impact categories are lsquoClimate changersquo lsquoParticulate matterrsquo 30

lsquoAcidificationrsquo lsquoEutrophicationrsquo and lsquoWater usersquo Only the impact category climate change is 31

expressed in a common unit 32

Default end-of-life (EOL) values from the MEErP EcoReport tool have been used They are 9

provided in Table 4 In the EcoReport tool end-of-life scenarios are assigned to material 10

categories It is not possible to assign end-of-life scenarios to components 11

For this product group many materials were not available in the EcoReport tool Those 12

materials were added as extra materials In total 539 of the battery weight consists of lsquoextra 13

materialsrsquo The MEErP assigns a default end-of-life scenario to these materials (see column 8 14

in Table 4) The default value for recycling within this material category is 60 10 goes to 15

incineration 29 to landfill and 1 is assumed to be reused The benefits of recycling are in 16

the MEErP EcoReport tool calculated as a percentage of the impacts from production For the 17

material category lsquoExtrarsquo MEErP assumes that the benefits of recycling are 40 of the impacts 18

from the production In other words if the impact of the production of the extra materials equals 19

1 kg CO2 eq in the impact category global warming than the benefits attributed to the recycling 20

of the same amount of extra materials in the impact category global warming are 10604 = 21

024 kg CO2 eq 22

23

Recycling of the different materials which are currently catalogued as lsquoExtra materialsrsquo will be 24

evaluated in more detail in a update of this report 25

For ferro and non-ferro metals the default assumption is that 94 is recycled at EOL 26

528 Critical Raw Materials 3

The Critical Raw Material (CRM) indicator is calculated according to MEErP 2011 There are 4

14 CRMs listed in the MEErP methodology however the number of CRMs for the EU has 5

increased to 27 in 20178 The only9 raw material within battery systems that is seen as a CRM 6

is cobalt Lithium is also used in battery systems but is still assessed as a non-critical raw 7

material by the EC10 The economic importance and the supply risk of lithium was in 2017 still 8

within the criticality threshold The criticality threshold can be passed when the demand for 9

lithium increases Therefore the CRM indicator for lithium is included in this preparatory study 10

The CRM indicator in the EcoReport tool is calculated by multiplying the weight of a CRM with 11

a characterisation factor (CF) For cobalt the CF is 002 kg Sb eq per kg cobalt The 12

EcoReport tool does not include a CF for lithium The factor for lithium can be calculated based 13

on the formula provided in the MEErP methodology report part 2 The formula is as follows 14

kg Sb equivalent per kg CRM = 451 (EU consumption [tonyr] Import dependency rate [] 15

Substitutability [] (1 ndash Recycling Rate [])) 16

All necessary values are given in the EC report lsquoStudy on the review of the list of Critical Raw 17

55 Comparison with the Product Environmental Footprint 11

pilot 12

This section compares the results of the environmental LCA executed within this preparatory 13

study with the EcoReport 2014 tool according to the MEErP format with the results of the 14

Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) pilot on rechargeable batteries The PEF method was 15

developed by the Institute for Environment and Sustainability (IES) of the Joint Research 16

Centre (JRC) a Directorate General of the EC upon mandate of the EC Directorate General 17

Environment (DG ENV) The PEF is a harmonised methodology for the calculation of the 18

environmental performance of products (ie goods andor services) from a life cycle 19

perspective 20

Annex B contains a comparison of the MEErP environmental impact categories with PEF 21

environmental impact categories Both methodologies apply different principles (eg regarding 22

end-of-life) The comparison included in this preparatory study is just to check whether 23

the order of magnitude of the results is in the same range 24

In the rechargeable batteries PEF pilot the following four batteries were assessed Li-ion in 25

cordless power tools Li-ion in ICT NiMH in ICT and Li-ion in e-mobility Only the latter is 26

comparable with one of the BCs within this preparatory study ie BC1 the BEV passenger 27

car The only impact category that is directly comparable (same environmental impact and 28

expressed in a similar unit) is the impact category lsquoglobal warmingrsquo (see Annex B) Only the 29

impact caused in the production phase are compared as the scenarios for the 30

distribution use phase and EOL within the MEErP methodology are very different to 31

the one in the PEF pilot 32

Annex B Product environmental footprint compared to MEErP 1

Ecoreport tool 2

3

The Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) method14 was developed by the EURpean 4

Commission as part of the Single Market for Green Products Initiative15 The EURpean 5

Commission proposes the PEF method as a common way of measuring environmental 6

performance of products During several pilot projects16 Product Environmental Footprint 7

Category Rules (PEFCR) were developed for several product groups One of these product 8

groups was the product group of lsquoRechargeable batteriesrsquo 9

10

In 2005 the Methodology for Ecodesign of Energy-using Products (MEEuP) was developed 11

for assessing whether and which ecodesign requirements are appropriate for energy-using 12

products under the Ecodesign Directive Following the revision of the Ecodesign Directive and 13

the extension of its scope to energy-related products in 2009 the Commission reviewed the 14

effectiveness of the MEEuP with a view to extend it to energy-related products The updated 15

methodology MEErP has been endorsed by the Ecodesign Consultation Forum of 20 January 16

2012 and shall be used as basis for ecodesign and energy labelling preparatory studies The 17

MEErP methodology consists of seven tasks of which Task 5 is on lsquoEnvironment and 18

Economicsrsquo For MEErP assessments a reporting tool called EcoReport was developed that 19

facilitates the necessary calculations to translate product-specific characteristics into 20

environmental impact indicators per product 21

22

This annex compares the impact categories used in the PEF methodology and the MEErP 23

methodology (subtask 52 environmental impact assessment) which have both been 24

developed to assess the environmental impact of products 25

26

Environmental impact categories 27

PEF considers 16 environmental impact categories MEErP considers 13 environmental 28

impact categories Table 13 gives an overview of the impact categories considered in both 29

methodologies Common impact categories are lsquoClimate changersquo lsquoParticulate matterrsquo 30

lsquoAcidificationrsquo lsquoEutrophicationrsquo and lsquoWater usersquo Only the impact category climate change is 31

expressed in a common unit 32

528 Critical Raw Materials 3

The Critical Raw Material (CRM) indicator is calculated according to MEErP 2011 There are 4

14 CRMs listed in the MEErP methodology however the number of CRMs for the EU has 5

increased to 27 in 20178 The only9 raw material within battery systems that is seen as a CRM 6

is cobalt Lithium is also used in battery systems but is still assessed as a non-critical raw 7

material by the EC10 The economic importance and the supply risk of lithium was in 2017 still 8

within the criticality threshold The criticality threshold can be passed when the demand for 9

lithium increases Therefore the CRM indicator for lithium is included in this preparatory study 10

The CRM indicator in the EcoReport tool is calculated by multiplying the weight of a CRM with 11

a characterisation factor (CF) For cobalt the CF is 002 kg Sb eq per kg cobalt The 12

EcoReport tool does not include a CF for lithium The factor for lithium can be calculated based 13

on the formula provided in the MEErP methodology report part 2 The formula is as follows 14

kg Sb equivalent per kg CRM = 451 (EU consumption [tonyr] Import dependency rate [] 15

Substitutability [] (1 ndash Recycling Rate [])) 16

All necessary values are given in the EC report lsquoStudy on the review of the list of Critical Raw 17

55 Comparison with the Product Environmental Footprint 11

pilot 12

This section compares the results of the environmental LCA executed within this preparatory 13

study with the EcoReport 2014 tool according to the MEErP format with the results of the 14

Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) pilot on rechargeable batteries The PEF method was 15

developed by the Institute for Environment and Sustainability (IES) of the Joint Research 16

Centre (JRC) a Directorate General of the EC upon mandate of the EC Directorate General 17

Environment (DG ENV) The PEF is a harmonised methodology for the calculation of the 18

environmental performance of products (ie goods andor services) from a life cycle 19

perspective 20

Annex B contains a comparison of the MEErP environmental impact categories with PEF 21

environmental impact categories Both methodologies apply different principles (eg regarding 22

end-of-life) The comparison included in this preparatory study is just to check whether 23

the order of magnitude of the results is in the same range 24

In the rechargeable batteries PEF pilot the following four batteries were assessed Li-ion in 25

cordless power tools Li-ion in ICT NiMH in ICT and Li-ion in e-mobility Only the latter is 26

comparable with one of the BCs within this preparatory study ie BC1 the BEV passenger 27

car The only impact category that is directly comparable (same environmental impact and 28

expressed in a similar unit) is the impact category lsquoglobal warmingrsquo (see Annex B) Only the 29

impact caused in the production phase are compared as the scenarios for the 30

distribution use phase and EOL within the MEErP methodology are very different to 31

the one in the PEF pilot 32

3

The Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) method14 was developed by the EURpean 4

Commission as part of the Single Market for Green Products Initiative15 The EURpean 5

Commission proposes the PEF method as a common way of measuring environmental 6

performance of products During several pilot projects16 Product Environmental Footprint 7

Category Rules (PEFCR) were developed for several product groups One of these product 8

groups was the product group of lsquoRechargeable batteriesrsquo 9

10

In 2005 the Methodology for Ecodesign of Energy-using Products (MEEuP) was developed 11

for assessing whether and which ecodesign requirements are appropriate for energy-using 12

products under the Ecodesign Directive Following the revision of the Ecodesign Directive and 13

the extension of its scope to energy-related products in 2009 the Commission reviewed the 14

effectiveness of the MEEuP with a view to extend it to energy-related products The updated 15

methodology MEErP has been endorsed by the Ecodesign Consultation Forum of 20 January 16

2012 and shall be used as basis for ecodesign and energy labelling preparatory studies The 17

MEErP methodology consists of seven tasks of which Task 5 is on lsquoEnvironment and 18

Economicsrsquo For MEErP assessments a reporting tool called EcoReport was developed that 19

facilitates the necessary calculations to translate product-specific characteristics into 20

environmental impact indicators per product 21

22

This annex compares the impact categories used in the PEF methodology and the MEErP 23

methodology (subtask 52 environmental impact assessment) which have both been 24

developed to assess the environmental impact of products 25

26

Environmental impact categories 27

PEF considers 16 environmental impact categories MEErP considers 13 environmental 28

impact categories Table 13 gives an overview of the impact categories considered in both 29

methodologies Common impact categories are lsquoClimate changersquo lsquoParticulate matterrsquo 30

lsquoAcidificationrsquo lsquoEutrophicationrsquo and lsquoWater usersquo Only the impact category climate change is 31

expressed in a common unit 32

528 Critical Raw Materials 3

The Critical Raw Material (CRM) indicator is calculated according to MEErP 2011 There are 4

14 CRMs listed in the MEErP methodology however the number of CRMs for the EU has 5

increased to 27 in 20178 The only9 raw material within battery systems that is seen as a CRM 6

is cobalt Lithium is also used in battery systems but is still assessed as a non-critical raw 7

material by the EC10 The economic importance and the supply risk of lithium was in 2017 still 8

within the criticality threshold The criticality threshold can be passed when the demand for 9

lithium increases Therefore the CRM indicator for lithium is included in this preparatory study 10

The CRM indicator in the EcoReport tool is calculated by multiplying the weight of a CRM with 11

a characterisation factor (CF) For cobalt the CF is 002 kg Sb eq per kg cobalt The 12

EcoReport tool does not include a CF for lithium The factor for lithium can be calculated based 13

on the formula provided in the MEErP methodology report part 2 The formula is as follows 14

kg Sb equivalent per kg CRM = 451 (EU consumption [tonyr] Import dependency rate [] 15

Substitutability [] (1 ndash Recycling Rate [])) 16

All necessary values are given in the EC report lsquoStudy on the review of the list of Critical Raw 17

Materials Non-critical Raw Materials Factsheets 201711rsquo and summarized in the table below 18

55 Comparison with the Product Environmental Footprint 11

pilot 12

This section compares the results of the environmental LCA executed within this preparatory 13

study with the EcoReport 2014 tool according to the MEErP format with the results of the 14

Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) pilot on rechargeable batteries The PEF method was 15

developed by the Institute for Environment and Sustainability (IES) of the Joint Research 16

Centre (JRC) a Directorate General of the EC upon mandate of the EC Directorate General 17

Environment (DG ENV) The PEF is a harmonised methodology for the calculation of the 18

environmental performance of products (ie goods andor services) from a life cycle 19

perspective 20

Annex B contains a comparison of the MEErP environmental impact categories with PEF 21

environmental impact categories Both methodologies apply different principles (eg regarding 22

end-of-life) The comparison included in this preparatory study is just to check whether 23

the order of magnitude of the results is in the same range 24

In the rechargeable batteries PEF pilot the following four batteries were assessed Li-ion in 25

cordless power tools Li-ion in ICT NiMH in ICT and Li-ion in e-mobility Only the latter is 26

comparable with one of the BCs within this preparatory study ie BC1 the BEV passenger 27

car The only impact category that is directly comparable (same environmental impact and 28

expressed in a similar unit) is the impact category lsquoglobal warmingrsquo (see Annex B) Only the 29

impact caused in the production phase are compared as the scenarios for the 30

distribution use phase and EOL within the MEErP methodology are very different to 31

the one in the PEF pilot 32

Annex B Product environmental footprint compared to MEErP 1

Ecoreport tool 2

3

The Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) method14 was developed by the EURpean 4

Commission as part of the Single Market for Green Products Initiative15 The EURpean 5

Commission proposes the PEF method as a common way of measuring environmental 6

performance of products During several pilot projects16 Product Environmental Footprint 7

Category Rules (PEFCR) were developed for several product groups One of these product 8

groups was the product group of lsquoRechargeable batteriesrsquo 9

10

In 2005 the Methodology for Ecodesign of Energy-using Products (MEEuP) was developed 11

for assessing whether and which ecodesign requirements are appropriate for energy-using 12

products under the Ecodesign Directive Following the revision of the Ecodesign Directive and 13

the extension of its scope to energy-related products in 2009 the Commission reviewed the 14

effectiveness of the MEEuP with a view to extend it to energy-related products The updated 15

methodology MEErP has been endorsed by the Ecodesign Consultation Forum of 20 January 16

2012 and shall be used as basis for ecodesign and energy labelling preparatory studies The 17

MEErP methodology consists of seven tasks of which Task 5 is on lsquoEnvironment and 18

Economicsrsquo For MEErP assessments a reporting tool called EcoReport was developed that 19

facilitates the necessary calculations to translate product-specific characteristics into 20

environmental impact indicators per product 21

22

This annex compares the impact categories used in the PEF methodology and the MEErP 23

methodology (subtask 52 environmental impact assessment) which have both been 24

developed to assess the environmental impact of products 25

26

Environmental impact categories 27

PEF considers 16 environmental impact categories MEErP considers 13 environmental 28

impact categories Table 13 gives an overview of the impact categories considered in both 29

methodologies Common impact categories are lsquoClimate changersquo lsquoParticulate matterrsquo 30

lsquoAcidificationrsquo lsquoEutrophicationrsquo and lsquoWater usersquo Only the impact category climate change is 31

expressed in a common unit 32

528 Critical Raw Materials 3

The Critical Raw Material (CRM) indicator is calculated according to MEErP 2011 There are 4

14 CRMs listed in the MEErP methodology however the number of CRMs for the EU has 5

increased to 27 in 20178 The only9 raw material within battery systems that is seen as a CRM 6

is cobalt Lithium is also used in battery systems but is still assessed as a non-critical raw 7

material by the EC10 The economic importance and the supply risk of lithium was in 2017 still 8

within the criticality threshold The criticality threshold can be passed when the demand for 9

lithium increases Therefore the CRM indicator for lithium is included in this preparatory study 10

The CRM indicator in the EcoReport tool is calculated by multiplying the weight of a CRM with 11

a characterisation factor (CF) For cobalt the CF is 002 kg Sb eq per kg cobalt The 12

EcoReport tool does not include a CF for lithium The factor for lithium can be calculated based 13

on the formula provided in the MEErP methodology report part 2 The formula is as follows 14

kg Sb equivalent per kg CRM = 451 (EU consumption [tonyr] Import dependency rate [] 15

Substitutability [] (1 ndash Recycling Rate [])) 16

All necessary values are given in the EC report lsquoStudy on the review of the list of Critical Raw 17

55 Comparison with the Product Environmental Footprint 11

pilot 12

This section compares the results of the environmental LCA executed within this preparatory 13

study with the EcoReport 2014 tool according to the MEErP format with the results of the 14

Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) pilot on rechargeable batteries The PEF method was 15

developed by the Institute for Environment and Sustainability (IES) of the Joint Research 16

Centre (JRC) a Directorate General of the EC upon mandate of the EC Directorate General 17

Environment (DG ENV) The PEF is a harmonised methodology for the calculation of the 18

environmental performance of products (ie goods andor services) from a life cycle 19

perspective 20

Annex B contains a comparison of the MEErP environmental impact categories with PEF 21

environmental impact categories Both methodologies apply different principles (eg regarding 22

end-of-life) The comparison included in this preparatory study is just to check whether 23

the order of magnitude of the results is in the same range 24

In the rechargeable batteries PEF pilot the following four batteries were assessed Li-ion in 25

cordless power tools Li-ion in ICT NiMH in ICT and Li-ion in e-mobility Only the latter is 26

comparable with one of the BCs within this preparatory study ie BC1 the BEV passenger 27

car The only impact category that is directly comparable (same environmental impact and 28

expressed in a similar unit) is the impact category lsquoglobal warmingrsquo (see Annex B) Only the 29

impact caused in the production phase are compared as the scenarios for the 30

distribution use phase and EOL within the MEErP methodology are very different to 31

the one in the PEF pilot 32

3

The Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) method14 was developed by the EURpean 4

Commission as part of the Single Market for Green Products Initiative15 The EURpean 5

Commission proposes the PEF method as a common way of measuring environmental 6

performance of products During several pilot projects16 Product Environmental Footprint 7

Category Rules (PEFCR) were developed for several product groups One of these product 8

groups was the product group of lsquoRechargeable batteriesrsquo 9

10

In 2005 the Methodology for Ecodesign of Energy-using Products (MEEuP) was developed 11

for assessing whether and which ecodesign requirements are appropriate for energy-using 12

products under the Ecodesign Directive Following the revision of the Ecodesign Directive and 13

the extension of its scope to energy-related products in 2009 the Commission reviewed the 14

effectiveness of the MEEuP with a view to extend it to energy-related products The updated 15

methodology MEErP has been endorsed by the Ecodesign Consultation Forum of 20 January 16

2012 and shall be used as basis for ecodesign and energy labelling preparatory studies The 17

MEErP methodology consists of seven tasks of which Task 5 is on lsquoEnvironment and 18

Economicsrsquo For MEErP assessments a reporting tool called EcoReport was developed that 19

facilitates the necessary calculations to translate product-specific characteristics into 20

environmental impact indicators per product 21

22

This annex compares the impact categories used in the PEF methodology and the MEErP 23

methodology (subtask 52 environmental impact assessment) which have both been 24

developed to assess the environmental impact of products 25

26

Environmental impact categories 27

PEF considers 16 environmental impact categories MEErP considers 13 environmental 28

impact categories Table 13 gives an overview of the impact categories considered in both 29

methodologies Common impact categories are lsquoClimate changersquo lsquoParticulate matterrsquo 30

lsquoAcidificationrsquo lsquoEutrophicationrsquo and lsquoWater usersquo Only the impact category climate change is 31

expressed in a common unit 32

528 Critical Raw Materials 3

The Critical Raw Material (CRM) indicator is calculated according to MEErP 2011 There are 4

14 CRMs listed in the MEErP methodology however the number of CRMs for the EU has 5

increased to 27 in 20178 The only9 raw material within battery systems that is seen as a CRM 6

is cobalt Lithium is also used in battery systems but is still assessed as a non-critical raw 7

material by the EC10 The economic importance and the supply risk of lithium was in 2017 still 8

within the criticality threshold The criticality threshold can be passed when the demand for 9

lithium increases Therefore the CRM indicator for lithium is included in this preparatory study 10

The CRM indicator in the EcoReport tool is calculated by multiplying the weight of a CRM with 11

a characterisation factor (CF) For cobalt the CF is 002 kg Sb eq per kg cobalt The 12

EcoReport tool does not include a CF for lithium The factor for lithium can be calculated based 13

on the formula provided in the MEErP methodology report part 2 The formula is as follows 14

kg Sb equivalent per kg CRM = 451 (EU consumption [tonyr] Import dependency rate [] 15

Substitutability [] (1 ndash Recycling Rate [])) 16

All necessary values are given in the EC report lsquoStudy on the review of the list of Critical Raw 17

55 Comparison with the Product Environmental Footprint 11

pilot 12

This section compares the results of the environmental LCA executed within this preparatory 13

study with the EcoReport 2014 tool according to the MEErP format with the results of the 14

Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) pilot on rechargeable batteries The PEF method was 15

developed by the Institute for Environment and Sustainability (IES) of the Joint Research 16

Centre (JRC) a Directorate General of the EC upon mandate of the EC Directorate General 17

Environment (DG ENV) The PEF is a harmonised methodology for the calculation of the 18

environmental performance of products (ie goods andor services) from a life cycle 19

perspective 20

Annex B contains a comparison of the MEErP environmental impact categories with PEF 21

environmental impact categories Both methodologies apply different principles (eg regarding 22

end-of-life) The comparison included in this preparatory study is just to check whether 23

the order of magnitude of the results is in the same range 24

In the rechargeable batteries PEF pilot the following four batteries were assessed Li-ion in 25

cordless power tools Li-ion in ICT NiMH in ICT and Li-ion in e-mobility Only the latter is 26

comparable with one of the BCs within this preparatory study ie BC1 the BEV passenger 27

car The only impact category that is directly comparable (same environmental impact and 28

expressed in a similar unit) is the impact category lsquoglobal warmingrsquo (see Annex B) Only the 29

impact caused in the production phase are compared as the scenarios for the 30

distribution use phase and EOL within the MEErP methodology are very different to 31

the one in the PEF pilot 32

batteries G version - April 2017 (downloadable from

httpecEURpaeuenvironmenteussdsmgpPEFCR_OEFSR_enhtm) By taking the share of the life

cycle stages ie 585 and 34 (sheet lsquoMost relevant LCSrsquo) and multiplying them with the total life

Annex B Product environmental footprint compared to MEErP 1

Ecoreport tool 2

3

The Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) method14 was developed by the EURpean 4

Commission as part of the Single Market for Green Products Initiative15 The EURpean 5

Commission proposes the PEF method as a common way of measuring environmental 6

performance of products During several pilot projects16 Product Environmental Footprint 7

Category Rules (PEFCR) were developed for several product groups One of these product 8

groups was the product group of lsquoRechargeable batteriesrsquo 9

10

In 2005 the Methodology for Ecodesign of Energy-using Products (MEEuP) was developed 11

for assessing whether and which ecodesign requirements are appropriate for energy-using 12

products under the Ecodesign Directive Following the revision of the Ecodesign Directive and 13

the extension of its scope to energy-related products in 2009 the Commission reviewed the 14

effectiveness of the MEEuP with a view to extend it to energy-related products The updated 15

methodology MEErP has been endorsed by the Ecodesign Consultation Forum of 20 January 16

2012 and shall be used as basis for ecodesign and energy labelling preparatory studies The 17

MEErP methodology consists of seven tasks of which Task 5 is on lsquoEnvironment and 18

Economicsrsquo For MEErP assessments a reporting tool called EcoReport was developed that 19

facilitates the necessary calculations to translate product-specific characteristics into 20

environmental impact indicators per product 21

22

This annex compares the impact categories used in the PEF methodology and the MEErP 23

methodology (subtask 52 environmental impact assessment) which have both been 24

developed to assess the environmental impact of products 25

26

Environmental impact categories 27

PEF considers 16 environmental impact categories MEErP considers 13 environmental 28

impact categories Table 13 gives an overview of the impact categories considered in both 29

methodologies Common impact categories are lsquoClimate changersquo lsquoParticulate matterrsquo 30

lsquoAcidificationrsquo lsquoEutrophicationrsquo and lsquoWater usersquo Only the impact category climate change is 31

expressed in a common unit 32

55 Comparison with the Product Environmental Footprint 11

pilot 12

This section compares the results of the environmental LCA executed within this preparatory 13

study with the EcoReport 2014 tool according to the MEErP format with the results of the 14

Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) pilot on rechargeable batteries The PEF method was 15

developed by the Institute for Environment and Sustainability (IES) of the Joint Research 16

Centre (JRC) a Directorate General of the EC upon mandate of the EC Directorate General 17

Environment (DG ENV) The PEF is a harmonised methodology for the calculation of the 18

environmental performance of products (ie goods andor services) from a life cycle 19

perspective 20

Annex B contains a comparison of the MEErP environmental impact categories with PEF 21

environmental impact categories Both methodologies apply different principles (eg regarding 22

end-of-life) The comparison included in this preparatory study is just to check whether 23

the order of magnitude of the results is in the same range 24

In the rechargeable batteries PEF pilot the following four batteries were assessed Li-ion in 25

cordless power tools Li-ion in ICT NiMH in ICT and Li-ion in e-mobility Only the latter is 26

comparable with one of the BCs within this preparatory study ie BC1 the BEV passenger 27

car The only impact category that is directly comparable (same environmental impact and 28

expressed in a similar unit) is the impact category lsquoglobal warmingrsquo (see Annex B) Only the 29

impact caused in the production phase are compared as the scenarios for the 30

distribution use phase and EOL within the MEErP methodology are very different to 31

the one in the PEF pilot 32

Annex B Product environmental footprint compared to MEErP 1

Ecoreport tool 2

3

The Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) method14 was developed by the EURpean 4

Commission as part of the Single Market for Green Products Initiative15 The EURpean 5

Commission proposes the PEF method as a common way of measuring environmental 6

performance of products During several pilot projects16 Product Environmental Footprint 7

Category Rules (PEFCR) were developed for several product groups One of these product 8

groups was the product group of lsquoRechargeable batteriesrsquo 9

10

In 2005 the Methodology for Ecodesign of Energy-using Products (MEEuP) was developed 11

for assessing whether and which ecodesign requirements are appropriate for energy-using 12

products under the Ecodesign Directive Following the revision of the Ecodesign Directive and 13

the extension of its scope to energy-related products in 2009 the Commission reviewed the 14

effectiveness of the MEEuP with a view to extend it to energy-related products The updated 15

methodology MEErP has been endorsed by the Ecodesign Consultation Forum of 20 January 16

2012 and shall be used as basis for ecodesign and energy labelling preparatory studies The 17

MEErP methodology consists of seven tasks of which Task 5 is on lsquoEnvironment and 18

Economicsrsquo For MEErP assessments a reporting tool called EcoReport was developed that 19

facilitates the necessary calculations to translate product-specific characteristics into 20

environmental impact indicators per product 21

22

This annex compares the impact categories used in the PEF methodology and the MEErP 23

methodology (subtask 52 environmental impact assessment) which have both been 24

developed to assess the environmental impact of products 25

26

Environmental impact categories 27

PEF considers 16 environmental impact categories MEErP considers 13 environmental 28

impact categories Table 13 gives an overview of the impact categories considered in both 29

methodologies Common impact categories are lsquoClimate changersquo lsquoParticulate matterrsquo 30

lsquoAcidificationrsquo lsquoEutrophicationrsquo and lsquoWater usersquo Only the impact category climate change is 31

expressed in a common unit 32

The Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) method14 was developed by the EURpean 4

Commission as part of the Single Market for Green Products Initiative15 The EURpean 5

Commission proposes the PEF method as a common way of measuring environmental 6

performance of products During several pilot projects16 Product Environmental Footprint 7

Category Rules (PEFCR) were developed for several product groups One of these product 8

groups was the product group of lsquoRechargeable batteriesrsquo 9

10

In 2005 the Methodology for Ecodesign of Energy-using Products (MEEuP) was developed 11

for assessing whether and which ecodesign requirements are appropriate for energy-using 12

products under the Ecodesign Directive Following the revision of the Ecodesign Directive and 13

the extension of its scope to energy-related products in 2009 the Commission reviewed the 14

effectiveness of the MEEuP with a view to extend it to energy-related products The updated 15

methodology MEErP has been endorsed by the Ecodesign Consultation Forum of 20 January 16

2012 and shall be used as basis for ecodesign and energy labelling preparatory studies The 17

MEErP methodology consists of seven tasks of which Task 5 is on lsquoEnvironment and 18

Economicsrsquo For MEErP assessments a reporting tool called EcoReport was developed that 19

facilitates the necessary calculations to translate product-specific characteristics into 20

environmental impact indicators per product 21

22

This annex compares the impact categories used in the PEF methodology and the MEErP 23

methodology (subtask 52 environmental impact assessment) which have both been 24

developed to assess the environmental impact of products 25

26

Environmental impact categories 27

PEF considers 16 environmental impact categories MEErP considers 13 environmental 28

impact categories Table 13 gives an overview of the impact categories considered in both 29

methodologies Common impact categories are lsquoClimate changersquo lsquoParticulate matterrsquo 30

lsquoAcidificationrsquo lsquoEutrophicationrsquo and lsquoWater usersquo Only the impact category climate change is 31

expressed in a common unit 32

pilot 12

This section compares the results of the environmental LCA executed within this preparatory 13

study with the EcoReport 2014 tool according to the MEErP format with the results of the 14

Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) pilot on rechargeable batteries The PEF method was 15

developed by the Institute for Environment and Sustainability (IES) of the Joint Research 16

Centre (JRC) a Directorate General of the EC upon mandate of the EC Directorate General 17

Environment (DG ENV) The PEF is a harmonised methodology for the calculation of the 18

environmental performance of products (ie goods andor services) from a life cycle 19

perspective 20

Annex B contains a comparison of the MEErP environmental impact categories with PEF 21

environmental impact categories Both methodologies apply different principles (eg regarding 22

end-of-life) The comparison included in this preparatory study is just to check whether 23

the order of magnitude of the results is in the same range 24

In the rechargeable batteries PEF pilot the following four batteries were assessed Li-ion in 25

cordless power tools Li-ion in ICT NiMH in ICT and Li-ion in e-mobility Only the latter is 26

comparable with one of the BCs within this preparatory study ie BC1 the BEV passenger 27

car The only impact category that is directly comparable (same environmental impact and 28

expressed in a similar unit) is the impact category lsquoglobal warmingrsquo (see Annex B) Only the 29

impact caused in the production phase are compared as the scenarios for the 30

distribution use phase and EOL within the MEErP methodology are very different to 31

the one in the PEF pilot 32

Annex B Product environmental footprint compared to MEErP 1

Ecoreport tool 2

3

The Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) method14 was developed by the EURpean 4

Commission as part of the Single Market for Green Products Initiative15 The EURpean 5

Commission proposes the PEF method as a common way of measuring environmental 6

performance of products During several pilot projects16 Product Environmental Footprint 7

Category Rules (PEFCR) were developed for several product groups One of these product 8

groups was the product group of lsquoRechargeable batteriesrsquo 9

10

In 2005 the Methodology for Ecodesign of Energy-using Products (MEEuP) was developed 11

for assessing whether and which ecodesign requirements are appropriate for energy-using 12

products under the Ecodesign Directive Following the revision of the Ecodesign Directive and 13

the extension of its scope to energy-related products in 2009 the Commission reviewed the 14

effectiveness of the MEEuP with a view to extend it to energy-related products The updated 15

methodology MEErP has been endorsed by the Ecodesign Consultation Forum of 20 January 16

2012 and shall be used as basis for ecodesign and energy labelling preparatory studies The 17

MEErP methodology consists of seven tasks of which Task 5 is on lsquoEnvironment and 18

Economicsrsquo For MEErP assessments a reporting tool called EcoReport was developed that 19

facilitates the necessary calculations to translate product-specific characteristics into 20

environmental impact indicators per product 21

22

This annex compares the impact categories used in the PEF methodology and the MEErP 23

methodology (subtask 52 environmental impact assessment) which have both been 24

developed to assess the environmental impact of products 25

26

Environmental impact categories 27

PEF considers 16 environmental impact categories MEErP considers 13 environmental 28

impact categories Table 13 gives an overview of the impact categories considered in both 29

methodologies Common impact categories are lsquoClimate changersquo lsquoParticulate matterrsquo 30

lsquoAcidificationrsquo lsquoEutrophicationrsquo and lsquoWater usersquo Only the impact category climate change is 31

expressed in a common unit 32

The Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) method14 was developed by the EURpean 4

Commission as part of the Single Market for Green Products Initiative15 The EURpean 5

Commission proposes the PEF method as a common way of measuring environmental 6

performance of products During several pilot projects16 Product Environmental Footprint 7

Category Rules (PEFCR) were developed for several product groups One of these product 8

groups was the product group of lsquoRechargeable batteriesrsquo 9

10

In 2005 the Methodology for Ecodesign of Energy-using Products (MEEuP) was developed 11

for assessing whether and which ecodesign requirements are appropriate for energy-using 12

products under the Ecodesign Directive Following the revision of the Ecodesign Directive and 13

the extension of its scope to energy-related products in 2009 the Commission reviewed the 14

effectiveness of the MEEuP with a view to extend it to energy-related products The updated 15

methodology MEErP has been endorsed by the Ecodesign Consultation Forum of 20 January 16

2012 and shall be used as basis for ecodesign and energy labelling preparatory studies The 17

MEErP methodology consists of seven tasks of which Task 5 is on lsquoEnvironment and 18

Economicsrsquo For MEErP assessments a reporting tool called EcoReport was developed that 19

facilitates the necessary calculations to translate product-specific characteristics into 20

environmental impact indicators per product 21

22

This annex compares the impact categories used in the PEF methodology and the MEErP 23

methodology (subtask 52 environmental impact assessment) which have both been 24

developed to assess the environmental impact of products 25

26

Environmental impact categories 27

PEF considers 16 environmental impact categories MEErP considers 13 environmental 28

impact categories Table 13 gives an overview of the impact categories considered in both 29

methodologies Common impact categories are lsquoClimate changersquo lsquoParticulate matterrsquo 30

lsquoAcidificationrsquo lsquoEutrophicationrsquo and lsquoWater usersquo Only the impact category climate change is 31

expressed in a common unit 32

Annex B Product environmental footprint compared to MEErP 1

Ecoreport tool 2

3

The Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) method14 was developed by the EURpean 4

Commission as part of the Single Market for Green Products Initiative15 The EURpean 5

Commission proposes the PEF method as a common way of measuring environmental 6

performance of products During several pilot projects16 Product Environmental Footprint 7

Category Rules (PEFCR) were developed for several product groups One of these product 8

groups was the product group of lsquoRechargeable batteriesrsquo 9

10

In 2005 the Methodology for Ecodesign of Energy-using Products (MEEuP) was developed 11

for assessing whether and which ecodesign requirements are appropriate for energy-using 12

products under the Ecodesign Directive Following the revision of the Ecodesign Directive and 13

the extension of its scope to energy-related products in 2009 the Commission reviewed the 14

effectiveness of the MEEuP with a view to extend it to energy-related products The updated 15

methodology MEErP has been endorsed by the Ecodesign Consultation Forum of 20 January 16

2012 and shall be used as basis for ecodesign and energy labelling preparatory studies The 17

MEErP methodology consists of seven tasks of which Task 5 is on lsquoEnvironment and 18

Economicsrsquo For MEErP assessments a reporting tool called EcoReport was developed that 19

facilitates the necessary calculations to translate product-specific characteristics into 20

environmental impact indicators per product 21

22

This annex compares the impact categories used in the PEF methodology and the MEErP 23

methodology (subtask 52 environmental impact assessment) which have both been 24

developed to assess the environmental impact of products 25

26

Environmental impact categories 27

PEF considers 16 environmental impact categories MEErP considers 13 environmental 28

impact categories Table 13 gives an overview of the impact categories considered in both 29

methodologies Common impact categories are lsquoClimate changersquo lsquoParticulate matterrsquo 30

lsquoAcidificationrsquo lsquoEutrophicationrsquo and lsquoWater usersquo Only the impact category climate change is 31

expressed in a common unit 32
