Siemens Battery Passport

Leading the way to a more transparent and sustainable battery industry.

Battery Passport

As the world transitions from fossil fuels to electrification, the demand for batteries and their materials surges. The EU is taking proactive measures to ensure this change is sustainable. A recent update to the Battery Directive introduces the concept of a Battery Passport, mandatory by 2027 for all electric vehicles, light means of transport, and industrial batteries (> 2 kWh).

What is a Battery Passport?

A Battery Passport functions as a digital record for individual batteries, documenting their entire lifecycle, from the initial sourcing of raw materials throughout refurbishment and recycling. It contains information about the battery's composition, manufacturing, performance, and environmental impact. The information can be accessed for instance, through a QR-code and can help to increase transparency and accountability in the battery industry. Battery Passports promote the sustainable use and recycling of batteries.

While the Battery Passport tracks a battery’s lifecycle, similar Digital Product Passports (DPPs) will soon apply to other industries, such as textiles, electronics, and construction. As part of the EU’s broader strategy for circularity, DPPs are set to become mandatory in the coming years, helping to create a more sustainable and accountable product economy.

The Siemens Battery Passport

Siemens provides a comprehensive Battery Passport to digitally document the complete battery lifecycle, enabling economic operators to create, manage, and export Battery Passports, involve their suppliers to fill in missing data, and ensure regulatory compliance.

The user-friendly interface minimizes training time, while robust APIs and Catena-X connectors ensure seamless data exchange throughout the supply chain. Our Catena-X certified solution, complies with Catena-X principles such as data sovereignty and interoperability, reinforcing its reliability and compatibility in interconnected ecosystems.

While the Battery is the first use case for Siemens Digital Product Passports, the platform is designed to extend beyond battery applications, by incorporating DPP 4.0 submodules, providing a solution that seamlessly adapts to emerging product passport regulations and standards across various industries.
