Secondly, environmental impacts arise throughout the lifecycle of battery storage systems, from raw material extraction to end-of-life disposal. Key issues include resource depletion, greenhouse gas emissions, and pollution from mining activities.
While battery storage systems offer environmental benefits by enabling the transition to renewable energy, they also pose environmental challenges due to their manufacturing processes, resource extraction, and end-of-life disposal (Akintuyi, 2024, Digitemie & Ekemezie, 2024, Nwokediegwu, et. al., 2024, Popoola, et. al., 2024).
Battery production facilities generate various types of pollution, including air emissions, wastewater discharges, and solid waste disposal (Adama, et. al., 2024, Ekemezie & Digitemie, 2024, Igbinenikaro, Adekoya & Etukudoh, 2024, Usiagu, et. al., 2023).
Honestly, improving recycling and reuse practices is one of the most important steps we can take to reduce the environmental impact of battery storage. The U.S. battery storage market is booming, and it’s exciting to watch. Plans are in place to almost double the storage capacity by the end of 2024.
