How can the industry achieve transparency in the supply chain while considering the legitimate interest keeping critical business information confidential?
In this Live Talk we will discuss the requirements to roll out a global digital battery passport. We will try to clarify the roles and interests of the industry and look at how data in the value chain can be exchanged securely.
For these issues, we welcome Torsten Freund (BASF, Project Lead GBA Battery Passport) and Daniel Miehle (BMW, IT Project Manager Catena-X). The Global Battery Alliance aims to develop a battery passport, a global solution for sharing harmonised information and standardised data to prove responsibility and sustainability to consumers, while enabling resource efficiency across the battery life cycle. Catena-X strives to create the conditions for the development of an open ecosystem for the efficient and secure exchange of information between companies in the automotive industry. Both initiatives share the vision of continuous data exchange for all participants in the value chain.
What will be addressed?
- Does the industry have an interest in transparent supply chains?
- What are the premises to implement a digital product passport for sustainable batteries?
- What are the main hurdles when it comes to data sharing?
This discussion format is free of charge and opens a channel for critical reflection on important questions that arise within the Important Project of Common European Interest (IPCEI) European Battery Innovation. The IPCEI aims to move the whole value chain to Europe to make Europe a global market player. The event is organised by the accompanying research of the IPCEI (managed by VDI/VDE Innovation + Technik GmbH on behalf of the German Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy). The team promotes the establishment of battery production in Germany and Europe, connects the funded projects with actors of this ecosystem, supports political decision-making processes and moderates stakeholder dialogues.
