Description:

Electromobility is a crucial component in the climate transition of the transportation sector. Although recent market trends indicate a deceleration in growth, particularly in Europe, the overall shift toward less CO2-intensive individual mobility remains robust. Electromobility will only provide a true contribution to a climate friendly economy, if making, using and recycling the car are carried out responsibly. This seminar will explore the environmental impact of both petrol-driven and electric passenger cars across various dimensions. Key topics include greenhouse gas emissions during the manufacture of batteries and EVs, the significance of responsible metal mining, and the critical role of recycling within the electromobility framework. Information about the sustainability performance of an EV is vital for consumers to make informed decisions. The presentation will examine the role and potential of Battery Passports to enhance transparency and promote sustainable practices in transportation.
