The project addressing this “Batteries-2Zero” Joint Call approaches a commonly accepted Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of zero-emission road transport solutions, focusing on zero-emission vehicles and their batteries, as one of their central components, as well as other applications of the same types of battery cells (e.g. industrial, stationary applications etc.). Proposals are expected to provide for coordinated activities on LCA and Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) at vehicle and cell levels, to define and develop a unique and shared approach with common methodologies for both zero-emission vehicles and the battery value chain. The project’s main governance (e.g. Steering Group, Advisory Board) is expected to provide for direct involvement of relevant stakeholders from the automotive and battery sectors, as well as relevant European Commission services. Close cooperation with running EU-funded projects performing LCA in these sectors will also be expected to maximise synergies and reduce duplication of efforts. The award value is EUR 4 000 000.
