The development and use of a robust evaluation framework, including sustainability assessment and rigorous decision-making processes for stakeholders involved battery deployment is critical for pre-emptively minimizing negative environmental and social impacts of new energy technologies.
Decisions regarding the deployment of battery technologies are made by a variety of parties in a range of circumstances. For example, battery manufacturers decide what materials to procure from what supplier to produce a battery system. Battery system vendors decide which technologies and system designs to construct and market for that application.
