Batteries
MandatoryLegal basis
A battery’s carbon footprint declaration states the footprint per kilowatt hour the battery provides over its service life, and the passport publishes that declaration, so a battery passport must carry the figure.
“the carbon footprint of the battery, calculated as kg of carbon dioxide equivalent per one kWh of the total energy provided by the battery over its expected service life”
