To this end, a probabilistic life cycle assessment (LCA) was performed using a Monte Carlo simulation of the energy community of South Korea. The results of this study demonstrated that reusing batteries as ESS in buildings could further improve the overall environmental sustainability of the ESS compared to using new batteries.
Moreover, because this study only dealt with the environmental impact of extending the lifespan of batteries in terms of GWP, future research needs to comprehensively consider various other environmental impacts, such as acidification, eutrophication, and resource depletion, as well as economic and social impacts.
This study assesses the environmental impact of using used lithium-ion batteries. A probabilistic life cycle assessment was conducted using Monte Carlo simulation. Reuse of expired electric vehicle batteries can improve environmental sustainability. Battery usage purpose with efficiency should be considered during entire lifecycle.
The environmental assessment analysis considering all functions of batteries in the transportation and building sectors demonstrated the potential environmental benefits of circular economy strategies.
A probabilistic life cycle assessment was conducted using Monte Carlo simulation. Reuse of expired electric vehicle batteries can improve environmental sustainability. Battery usage purpose with efficiency should be considered during entire lifecycle. This study can contribute to crafting rational environmental impact policies.
Products are reused even after their lifespan, minimizing resource use and waste generation. In line with this, only a small part of end-of-life EV batteries (i.e., about 80 % SoH) are recycled and repurposed as stationary ESS installed in buildings and RES, allowing the SoH value to reach about 60 % of the initial capacity [22, 23].
