According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), nickel batteries produce more carbon emissions than lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries.

The IEA measured these emissions across the entire production process, from raw mineral mining and processing, to electrode production (electrically conductive material), complete battery manufacturing, and other related processes.

The IEA notes that the production of high-nickel batteries, specifically nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) types, generates 101.5 kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalent per kilowatt-hour (kg CO2-eq per kWh).

The majority of these emissions come from mineral processing (54%) and electrode production (25%).

On the other hand, LFP battery production only generates 69.1 kg CO2-eq per kWh.

Emissions from LFP batteries primarily originate from the complete battery manufacturing stage (46%) and mineral processing (34%), with details as shown in the graph.

"LFP battery emissions per kWh are one-third lower than NMC batteries," stated the IEA in its *Global EV Outlook 2024* report.

"In the context of carbon pricing, battery and electric vehicle manufacturers may be incentivized to prioritize LFP batteries over NMC batteries, which produce significantly more emissions," it continued.

The global trend shows a decline in the use of nickel batteries for electric vehicles, overtaken by LFP batteries.

Between 2021 and 2023, the market share of high-nickel batteries decreased from 61% to 54%, while LFP batteries increased from 28% to 40%.
