Life Cycle Assessment of Lithium-Air Batteries: Initial Findings and Strategies
This document outlines the objectives and work plan from the kick-off meeting held in Torino, October 25-26, 2012, concerning the life cycle assessment (LCA) of lithium-air batteries. Key goals include providing valuable insights for design improvements, investigating recycling routes, and reviewing existing LCA studies. Activities over the first six months will focus on literature surveys, informal contacts with ongoing studies, and developing strategies for end-of-life management, including benchmarking against other battery chemistries.

WP 6 Life cycle assessment1st 6 months STABLE kick-off meeting Torino - October 25th- 26th, 2012 Mats Zackrisson
Overall goals To provide input to the design work in WP1-WP5 To verify improvements of the suggested designs To investigate and evaluate recycling routes for lithium-air batteries
Workplan, 1st 6 months Task 6.1 Investigation of existing relevant Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) on lithium air batteries Description of the activities • Literature survey of relevant existing LCAs including safety factor • Informal contacts with on-going LCA studies • Goal and scope and strategy for task 1 • Do we go for all material combinations or selected ones? • How do we select? • Presentation of road map (to the 12 month workshops) at 6 month meeting
Workplan Task 6.4 End-of-life management of Li-air batteries and assessment of their reuse and recycling Description of the activity • Goal and scope and strategy for the study • Identification of key questions • Preparation of examples with other chemistries for benchmark
