Fraunhofer, RWTH Aachen launch Modular Lifecycle Tool to compare battery recycling costs and CO2 emissions
Fraunhofer FFB and RWTH Aachen's PEM Chair have published the Modular Lifecycle Tool, a computational model for comparing lithium-ion battery recycling routes under uniform cost and CO2 assumptions. The modular framework maps the full recycling chain, showing how technology choices affect recovery rates, material quality, and overall economic and environmental performance.
