Prepare for battery carbon disclosure with evidence you can defend

The EU Battery Regulation introduces carbon footprint declarations for EV batteries, rechargeable industrial batteries above 2 kWh and, later, LMT batteries. Article 7 dates vary by category and depend on the relevant delegated and implementing acts entering into force; they are not a blanket 2027 deadline. Performance classes and maximum thresholds follow on separate conditional timelines. Battery passports apply from 18 February 2027 to EV batteries, LMT batteries and industrial batteries above 2 kWh. Minviro builds transparent battery LCAs and supports preparation for the requirements that apply to your product. Portable batteries are outside Article 7 carbon footprint scope, and industrial batteries with external storage have a later timetable.

Battery carbon footprints prepared for independent verification

We build ISO 14067 product carbon footprints using primary supplier data and documented assumptions. EF 3.1 reflects the direction of draft PEF-based battery methodology, not a claim that the final delegated methodology is already in force. We distinguish current LCA outputs from future performance-class declarations and support preparation for verification and applicable passport disclosures.

Cathode chemistry comparisons that drive sourcing decisions

LFP versus NMC versus LMFP isn't an abstract trade-off. We model the actual supply chains behind each chemistry — including upstream mining, precursor synthesis, energy mix and manufacturing geography — so the carbon difference between a French-grid LFP cell and an Indonesian-grid NMC cell shows up in numbers your procurement team can act on.

Models that update when your supply chain changes

A battery LCA is not a one-time deliverable. When you switch cathode suppliers, qualify a new electrolyte producer or move cell assembly, your footprint changes. XYCLE keeps the model current for customer disclosure, sourcing decisions and investor reporting.

Build your evidence before the applicable deadline

Preparing primary supplier data and a transparent model now can make future verification and buyer conversations easier. We scope the work to your battery category and track the conditional Article 7 timetable, without assuming a fixed 2027 carbon performance-class deadline.

Turn cathode chemistry choices into a procurement advantage

Turn cathode chemistry choices into a procurement advantage

Most battery makers know LFP and NMC have different footprints. Few can quantify the difference between their LFP supplier and a competitor's, or between an Indonesian-grid NMC cell and a Canadian one. We model the supply chains behind your chemistries in enough detail that procurement decisions become carbon decisions — and carbon decisions become contract-winning evidence.

Reuse your evidence across relevant disclosures

Reuse your evidence across relevant disclosures

Battery passports, PACT exchanges, EPD programmes and OEM data requests have distinct boundaries and information needs. We structure the underlying model for reuse and identify the additional information each destination requires. A product LCA is not, by itself, proof of compliance with every framework.

LET'S WORK TOGETHER

Ready to scope your battery LCA?

Whether you need a single-product LCA for a regulatory submission or a portfolio model that updates as your supply chain evolves, the right starting point depends on your timeline, data and the scrutiny your output needs to survive. A 20-minute call is the fastest way to map that out.
