The EU Battery Regulation (2023/1542) is setting new standards to ensure that only sustainable, traceable and circular batteries are placed on the European market. While carbon footprint requirements were expected earlier, key methodological and calculation rules are still evolving and under political discussion.

Join Sphera’s experts to learn how to prepare for and navigate this uncertainty. This session will break down the latest regulatory developments, highlight key methodological considerations and address common pitfalls in carbon footprint calculations.

We will also share practical insights from our customer Exide Technologies, a leading manufacturer of lead-acid battery solutions. Learn how they are approaching upcoming reporting requirements and addressing real-world implementation challenges.

Key takeaways:

  • Prepare production data and company-specific inputs for calculating battery carbon footprints in line with Article 7 of the EU Battery Regulation
  • Apply the Circular Footprint Formula and interpret results in a regulatory context
  • Identify common methodological pitfalls and avoid costly rework
  • Streamline data collection, modeling and documentation processes
  • Prepare compliant and audit-ready carbon footprint reports
  • Translate evolving regulatory requirements into scalable processes, supported by Sphera’s LCA solutions and expertise
