Assessing Trade-Offs in Climate Impacts across Various Circular Economy Strategies for Jap

A dynamic assessment framework combines stock-driven material flow analysis with life-cycle-based greenhouse gas accounting to evaluate trade-offs between battery lifetime extension, reuse, and recycling. The analysis projects reusable electric vehicle battery generation reaching 225 GWh by 2050 under an 8-year warranty scenario. The dataset, created by Ziyan He and last updated in May 2026, indicates implementing both reuse and recycling reduces cumulative battery emissions by 20–30% compared to single-strategy scenarios.

Use Cases

• Modeling future secondary battery material supply based on projected reusable battery generation of 225 GWh by 2050.
• Comparing greenhouse gas emissions reductions between battery lifetime extension in vehicles versus reuse in battery energy storage systems.
• Evaluating the impact of warranty periods and recycling regulations on material recovery timelines and carbon benefits.
• Assessing trade-offs between delaying recycling for prolonged use and accelerating material recovery under different policy scenarios.

Strengths

• Includes a specific projection for reusable electric vehicle battery generation (225 GWh by 2050).
• Quantifies emission reduction benefits (20–30%) from combined reuse and recycling strategies.
• Focuses on a specific geography (Japan) and time-evolving demand scenarios for vehicle batteries and solar/wind BESS.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is very small (22.6 KB), suggesting limited scope or highly aggregated results.
