EU Battery Regulation 2023: Key Aspects, Implementation Dates, and Industry Impacts Discussed in Clean Batteries Session

Gunther Kellermann, from the German Federation of the Electronic and Digital Industry, introduces a session on the EU Battery Regulation 2023. The regulation covers every aspect of batteries' lifecycle—from production to disposal—and is crucial for manufacturers, consumers, and OEMs. Key points include obligations for economic operators and new roles in waste management. A notable feature is the introduction of a "battery passport," which serves as a model for future product regulations in the EU. The regulation applies universally across all battery categories without grandfathering provisions, meaning non-compliant models cannot enter the market post-implementation date (August 18th, 2024). Gunther will provide an overview before handing over to Thomas Timke from SOLARWATT GmbH discussing performance criteria for industrial batteries under Article 10; Tilmann Vahle from Systemiq GmbH presenting results on battery passports; and Dr. Nam Truong exploring issues around reuse and remanufacturing. Gunther Kellermann emphasizes understanding one's relevant battery category—key due to varying requirements per category—and identifying one’s role within this regulatory framework since responsibilities differ accordingly.

Talk of session: Clean Batteries - EU Battery Regulation 2023 - What Does it Mean for the Industry?

The transition to a clean and CO2-neutral energy supply requires the use of components that meet these requirements. The CO2 footprint and environmental impact of battery production must be reduced to acceptable levels. With the new EU Battery Regulation, a comprehensive set of requirements has recently been published, that will have a major impact on the battery industry. What are the implications of the new EU Battery Regulation? By when must each requirement be implemented? What are the critical points of this regulation?
