1. 6. Conditions for Circular Electric Vehicle Battery Value Chains : Exploring Opportunities for Circular Economy Implementation in the Value Chain of Electric Vehicle Batteries in Nairobi, Kenya

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Industriell miljöteknik

   Author : Johanna Hegenbart; Sofie Rosmark; [2023]
   Keywords : Circular Economy; Electric Vehicle Batteries; Sustainability; Ecosystem;

   Abstract : To reduce the negative impacts of climate change, electric vehicles (EVs) have emerged as a viable solution in the mobility sector, leading to an increase in battery production and use. For electric vehicle batteries (EVBs) to be sustainable, the total impact of the supply and value chain has to be as low as possible, making the implementation of circular economy (CE) principles a key element in the transition.

3. 7. Servicing or Buying New? Estimating the Environmentally Optimal Time for Car Replacement in Sweden – an LCA Approach.

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Larissa Patricia Wissert; [2022]
   Keywords : Sustainable Development; Life Cycle Analysis LCA ; Vehicle Replacement; ICEV; BEV; GHG Emissions;

   Abstract : Purpose. Road transportation is one of the major sources of GHG emissions today. Technological improvements in fuel consumption, as well as the electrification of vehicles can reduce emissions from road transportation. This study aims to investigate the optimal time for vehicle replacement in Sweden for an ICEV to minimise GHG emissions. READ MORE

4. 8. Circular Business Models for the Second Life Cycle of Electric Vehicle Batteries: Opportunities and Barriers

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

   Author : Sadaf Milani; Zahra Besharat; [2022]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : There is an incremental trend in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) demand due to more demand for electric vehicles (EVs) in the next decade. Although electric vehicle EV batteries’ capacity reduces at their end-of-life (EOL) in vehicles, they are still valuable for other applications. READ MORE

5. 9. Techno-economic study of second-life EV batteries as alternative energy storage and comparison with lead-acid and new Li-ion batteries in off-grid PV systems

   University essay from Högskolan Dalarna/Institutionen för information och teknik

   Author : Vijay Arumugam; [2022]
   Keywords : Second-life EV batteries; PV off-grid systems; HOMER; comparison of batteries in off-grid systems; repurpose the retired EV batteries.;

   Abstract : The global EV stock is expected to increase from 7.2 million in 2019 to nearly 140 million vehicles by 2030. So, the demand for the battery also increases due to the increase in the number of EVs. READ MORE

6. 10. SAVINGS OF MATERIAL RESOURCES AND CARBON EMISSIONS WHEN CONVERTING FOSSIL FUEL CAR TO ELECTRIC : A CASE STUDY FOR SWEDEN

   University essay from KTH/Integrated Transport Research Lab, ITRL; KTH/Elkraftteknik

   Author : Daniel Hiller; [2022]
   Keywords : LCA; carbon emissions; material resources; fossil fuel vehicles; battery electric vehicles; carculator; Sweden; LCA; Kohlenstoffemissionen; Materialressourcen; Fahrzeuge mit fossilen Brennstoffen; batterieelektrische Fahrzeuge; carculator; Schweden;

   Abstract : Transportation in Sweden currently accounts for one-third of domestic GHG emissions. Thereof more than 90 % are allocated to road traffic with passenger cars being the largest contributor. Hence, the Swedish government adopted stringent climate policies to cut transport emissionsby 70 % (compared to 2010) latest until 2030. READ MORE
