Description

This upload provides the full supplementary information and the MS-Excel based cell dimenioning tool used in the underlying publication (Environmental impacts of Sodium-Ion Batteries – Advances in production, use and recyclability)

It is based on the BatPac-Tool created by Argonne National Laboratories, but with some substantial modifications:

  • Reduction to dimensioning on battery cell leve, with no need to define a whole vehicle battery pack
  • Inclusion of a detailed and cell-chemistry specific recycling model
  • Automatic generation of inventory tables for life cycle assessmen

The tool is free to use and to update as long as the underlying original publication is cited properly

In addition, the inventory data used for calculating the results are also provided as JSON-LD files for direct import into openLCA and in ILCD format for import into other LCA software. The LCI is based on ecoinvent 3.7; use with other ecoinvent versions might require re-linking of flows.
