Unlocking the value of the EU battery passport
This document establishes a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the battery passport’s economic, environmental, and social benefits across the value chain. It also describes challenges that stakeholders are likely to face when creating, maintaining, or using the battery passport and provides actionable recommendations for businesses and policymakers to maximise the strategic potential of the EU Battery Passport.

Main Content Guidance
This document provides a detailed perspective on the battery passport content reporting requirements as per the EU Battery Regulation and beyond. It is the first publicly available comprehensive aggregation and interpretation allowing economic operators and other battery value chain players to prepare for the battery passport implementation.
Data Attribute Longlist
The data attribute longlist includes all datarequires (and suggested) for the battery passport alongside definitions as well as further relevant data dimensions. This overview can serve as a first basis for and facilitates the technical demonstration and implementation of the battery passport within the own organisation.
Carbon Footprint Rules
This document provides accounting rules to calculate company-specific carbon footprints of the battery ‘Distribution‘ and ‘End-of-life‘ and rececyling`life cycle stages. The rules are proposed as a complementation to the GBA GHG Rulebook, thus providing a cradle-to-grave Battery Carbon Footprint Rulebook.
EOL Allocation Analysis
This insights report highlights the impact of the methodological choice on the carbon footprint declaration. It includes a comparative assesement of the three main end-of-life allocation approaches and their implication on the carbon footprint in the context of the EU Battery Regulation.
