A Coupled Battery Production and Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) Model
Johansen, Dan André (Master thesis, 2021)I et forsøk på å overkomme de stadig mer uunngåelige utfordringene som følge av klimaforandringene, må den globale transportsektoren gjennomgå store endringer de neste tiårene. Elektrifisering av kjøretøy blir sett på som ... -
Analysis of the Li-ion battery industry in light of the global transition to electric passenger light duty vehicles until 2050
Usai, Lorenzo; Lamb, Jacob Joseph; Hertwich, Edgar G.; Burheim, Odne Stokke; Strømman, Anders Hammer (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The decarbonization of the transport sector requires a rapid expansion of global battery production and an adequate supply with raw materials currently produced in small volumes. We investigate whether battery production ... -
A comparative assessment of value chain criticality of lithium-ion battery cells
Manjong, Nelson Bunyui; Bach, Vanessa; Usai, Lorenzo; Marinova, Sylvia; Burheim, Odne Stokke; Finkbeiner, Matthias; Strømman, Anders Hammer (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)As the global transport sector ramps up the transition towards electromobility, the value chain of raw materials for lithium-ion battery (LIB) development is becoming crucial. Assessing the criticality of material value ... -
Comparative Life Cycle Assessment of a Diesel Electric and a Battery Electric Ferry
Galaaen, Julie Sandnes (Master thesis, 2020)Abstract The maritime transport sector contributes to emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) and global warming. Mitigation strategies are needed to limit the climate changes on Earth. One possible measure is electrification ... -
Comparative Life Cycle Assessment of a Diesel Electric and a Battery Electric Ferry
Galaaen, Julie Sandnes (Master thesis, 2020)Maritim transport bidrar til utslipp av drivhusgasser og global oppvarming. Klimastrategier er nødvendige for å begrense klimaendringene på jorden. Et mulig tiltak er elektrifisering av ferger. For å undersøke miljøeffekter ... -
Comparative Life Cycle Assessment of a Novel Al-Ion and a Li-Ion Battery for Stationary Applications
Delgado, Mario Amin Salgado; Usai, Lorenzo; Pan, Qiaoyan; Strømman, Anders Hammer (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The foreseen high penetration of fluctuant renewable energy sources, such as wind andsolar, will cause an increased need for batteries to store the energy produced and not instantaneouslyconsumed. Due to the high production ... -
Comparative life cycle assessment of prospective battery-grade material production in Norway
Bollwein, Maria (Master thesis, 2022)The manufacturing of battery grade materials is electricity intensive and currently dominated by China. Several European countries are exploring options of venturing into locally produced raw materials for battery ... -
Life cycle assessment of fuel cell systems for light duty vehicles, current state-of-the-art and future impacts
Usai, Lorenzo; Hung, Christine; Vasquez Correa, Luis Felipe; Windsheimer, Max; Burheim, Odne Stokke; Strømman, Anders Hammer (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Electric vehicles are a key technology for achieving a significant reduction of greenhouse gas directly emitted by the fleet of light duty vehicles. In the past, the production impacts of alternative vehicle technologies ... -
Life cycle modelling of extraction and processing of battery minerals—a parametric approach
Manjong, Nelson; Usai, Lorenzo; Burheim, Odne Stokke; Strømman, Anders Hammer (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Sustainable battery production with low environmental footprints requires a systematic assessment of the entire value chain, from raw material extraction and processing to battery production and recycling. In order to ... -
Scalable lifecycle inventories of passenger vehicles with different powertrain technologies
Usai, Lorenzo (Master thesis, 2018)In the coming decades the society will shift towards less carbon intensive activities, with the goal of reducing the CO2 emissions, and hence mitigate the climate change phenomena. In 2010 the road tranport accounted for ... -
