“Recent LCAs for natural and synthetic graphite reported values of 9.6 (Engels et al., 2022) and 20.6 (Surovtseva et al., 2022) kg CO 2 -eq kg -1 , respectively, which are much higher than earlier-reported numbers.”
From Think global act local: The dependency of global lithium-ion battery emissions on production location and material sources (2024) · cites this paper as Engels et al., 2022
In the citing paper
“However, as both materials are known to drive the CF of batteries5,24,34, it was decided to include their emission ranges in the battery CF Monte Carlo simulation based on country-specific secondary literature.”
From Carbon footprint distributions of lithium-ion batteries and their materials (2024) · cites this paper as [34]
In the citing paper
“The production of battery-grade raw materials also contributes substantially to the carbon footprint of LIBs (e.g., 5%-15% for lithium and about 10% for graphite).”
From Decarbonizing lithium-ion battery primary raw materials supply chain (2024) · cites this paper as [11]
In the citing paper
“Synthetic and natural graphite have the highest on-site electricity consumption, at 36 and 8.7 kWh kg 1 , respectively, primarily due to electrified high-temperature processes like graphitization (3,000 C) and coating (1,300 C).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
