The battery-model carbon footprint declaration required for covered batteries under the EU Battery Regulation.
This declaration reports a battery model's carbon footprint for each manufacturing plant, including the result per kWh of total energy expected over its service life. Article 7 introduces it for covered EV, LMT and rechargeable industrial batteries in stages. The applicable start for each category depends on both the statutory date and the required secondary measure.
A carbon footprint declaration is the battery-model-and-plant-specific statement made under the applicable Article 7 methodology and timing.
Do not substitute an unrelated product-footprint figure or assume all dates have begun.
Battery Regulation Article 7(1) and Annex II set the carbon-footprint declaration for specified battery categories, with a model-per-plant metric and act-dependent timing.
Source-grounded explanatory term, not a formal definition in the cited provisions. Source context is paraphrased, not quoted legal text.
Keep the battery-model and plant identifier, declared metric, life-cycle breakdown, calculation method and supporting data together.
We should version the plant, model, method and supporting calculation together so the declaration can be traced to its inputs.
