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

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

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 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
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

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

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

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

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

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
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

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 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
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

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
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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
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

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 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
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

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

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

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

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

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
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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
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

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

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

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
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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
