Swiss Battery Passport Platform

Project Idea Metadata

Project Idea Description

Context:

The EU Battery Passport legislation, set to be implemented in 2027, aims to establish a standardized system for tracking and managing the lifecycle of batteries within the European Union. Under this legislation, all batteries placed on the market must be accompanied by a digital passport containing essential information such as composition, energy capacity, and environmental impact. This passport will enable efficient monitoring of battery usage, recycling, and disposal, promoting sustainability and reducing environmental harm associated with battery waste. Manufacturers will be required to adhere to stringent guidelines regarding battery design, labeling, and end-of-life management to ensure compliance with the legislation's objectives. The EU Battery Passport is poised to revolutionize the battery industry, fostering transparency, accountability, and responsible stewardship of resources across the EU.

Project objectives:

The objective of the project is to develop a Battery Passport Platform before 2027, with a Swiss entity overseeing its implementation. This platform will primarily focus on collecting and managing first-life data of batteries, ensuring comprehensive tracking and documentation of battery information throughout their lifecycle.

Additionally, the project aims to implement a standardized data format (BFH-Statistical DataFrame) to streamline data handling and facilitate interoperability.

The project seeks to enable seamless data sharing between entities within Switzerland and potentially within the European Union, fostering collaboration and promoting the adoption of sustainable battery management practices across borders.

Project value creation:

A Swiss company handling the legislation ensures that knowledge and expertise remain within Switzerland, enhancing resiliency and retaining control over data management at the national level. This uniformization and simplification benefit Swiss entities, SMEs while also opening avenues for potential advancements in AI/ML.

By focusing on the entire lifecycle of batteries, from production, first life and beyond, the project enhances competitiveness and facilitates rapid development upon implementation of the lesgislation.

Moreover, it contributes to climate goals by improving circularity, identifying CO2 emissions and life cycle assessment impacts, enhancing first-life usage, increasing second-life conversion rates, and facilitating recycling efforts.

This project aims to develop a Battery Passport Platform by 2027, focusing on collecting and managing battery data throughout their lifecycle. This initiative creates value by developing expertise in Switzerland, fostering collaboration, and ensures resilience and control over Swiss data.


The project also contributes to climate goals by optimizing first-life usage, increasing second-life conversion rates, and facilitating recycling.
