The impacts of subsidy policies and channel encroachment on the power battery recycling of new energy vehicles February 2021 International Journal of Low-Carbon Technologies 16(3)
The first ETS was set up in the European Union (EU) in 2005. The underlying principle of an ETS is “cap and trade,” in which a (shrinking) cap is set on the total amount of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and individual firms receive relatively small free allowances and trade on the carbon market to buy (sell) allowances if their emissions are larger (smaller)
At present, China''s new energy vehicle enterprises and power battery enterprises have not invested heavily in building factories in the United States, so signing the IRA into law has a relatively limited impact on China''s new energy vehicle and
Lu et al. (2019) proposed a provincial-level adjustment plan for atmospheric pollutant tax rates, offering a new perspective for tax Since the main taxation objects of the environmental protection tax law are enterprises in the heavy-polluting industry, this paper sets enterprises in the heavy-polluting industry as the experimental group (the value of the “treat” is
Independent innovation means the procedure of achieving the value of new products by using the specific core technology embedded with independent intellectual property rights . It refers to enterprises developing new technologies and intellectual property autonomously rather than acquiring or licensing foreign technologies [30,31]. For the
Support enterprises to set up a waste power battery recycling system, the power battery recycling will be given a recycling reward of no more than 20 RMB per kilowatt-hour. Liucheng: 2022: Power battery recycling is subsidized according to battery capacity, with a subsidy rate of 20 RMB per kilowatt-hour. Wuyi: Hezhou: So far, government all over the world
Recently, China has advocated for the comprehensive implementation of the new development concept and the enhancement of the national governance system and capacity, particularly in the area of ecology and environmental management. Environmental fee and tax reform has improved China''s modern environmental governance system and deepened the
3 Research design 3.1 Selection of the research sample and data sources. This research uses data from Chinese A-share-listed new energy companies from 2000 to 2021 as samples and uses the multi-temporal double-difference approach to investigate the impact of ESG ratings on the “incremental quality improvement” of green innovation in enterprises.
In an effort to accelerate the advancement of green and low-carbon development, China introduced the extended producer responsibility (EPR) system in 2016, mandating producers to assume responsibility for waste recycling. Notably, power battery enterprises emerged as a primary focal point within the EPR system. Consequently, the
Consequently, the interplay between this system and the green technological innovation of enterprises has a substantial impact on the sustainable development of power battery companies. To

Considering the supply chain composed of a power battery supplier and a new energy vehicle manufacturer, under the carbon cap-and-trade policy, this paper studies the different cooperation modes between the manufacturer and the supplier as well as their strategies for green technology and power battery production. Three game models are constructed and
In 2023, the EU Batteries and Waste Batteries Regulation (henceforth referred to as the EU Batteries Law) was enacted, establishing regulations governing the use of batteries and waste batteries. The EU Battery Law, which came into force, sets out strict access requirements for batteries, including their carbon footprint. China''s automotive and power
Against the backdrop of increasingly serious global carbon emissions and environmental challenges, new energy vehicles (NEVs), as important low-carbon means of transport, play a crucial role in reducing carbon emissions, enhancing energy efficiency, and promoting sustainable development. However, green technological innovation is under
Optimising the decision-making of a power battery closed-loop supply chain (CLSC) and establishing a well-organised recycling system of waste power batteries are key to avoiding environmental pollution and wastage of resources, as well as realising green and sustainable development of a power battery CLSC. Combined with game theory and system

With the implementation of “carbon peaking and carbon neutrality” in China, new energy enterprises, as the vanguard in this strategy, have entered a new era of innovation-driven development. However, enterprises at different lifecycle stages will face different internal and external conditions, and there are differences in their internal mechanisms and business
The status of NEVs in China. NEVs are vehicles that consume new energy rather than traditional fuel. The hybrid vehicle (HV), battery electrical vehicle (BEV), fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV), hydrogen engine vehicle (HEV), and dimethyl ether vehicle (DEV) are all NEVs (Yuan et al. 2015).Similar to the development of many other new industries, the NEV
Today, with the number of waste power batteries and consumers'' awareness of low-carbon both increasing, a new closed-loop supply chain model in which the node enterprises of reverse supply chains are being constructed. These are responsible for the recycling, echelon utilization and low-carbon innovation of waste power batteries. This provides a new way for the
This article provides a critical reflection on the new EU legislation, analysing the content, opportunities, and challenges as it seeks to transform the battery industry by
Alongside the Critical Raw Materials Act, the EU regulations will tend to disfavour producer states that are unable to comply with new norms and procedures for reporting and verification. The European Union's new battery regulations represent an ambitious effort to regulate the full lifecycle of global battery production.
Although the EU battery regulations are relatively quiet on trade and investment, they are part of a broader geopolitical environment that has become increasingly concerned about the security of energy and critical mineral supply chains (Petitjean and Verheecke, 2023; Riofrancos, 2023; Torjesen, 2024).
These new guidelines introduce significant changes poised to impact battery producers across the globe, with companies in China and Taiwan being at the forefront of these challenges. Key Highlights of the New Regulations: Beginning in 2027, any power batteries destined for European markets will mandatorily require a "Battery Passport."
A new EU battery regulation, Regulation 2023/1542, was recently approved, and it will not only replace Battery Directive 2006/66/EC but also introduce requirements in many new areas of sustainability and safety of batteries and battery-operated products.
For many articles and chapters, the battery regulation directs the EC to prepare delegated acts, guidance or clarifications. Secondary legislation is expected for carbon footprint calculation methodologies, recycling efficiency and material recovery calculation methodologies, removability, replaceability and many more.
The path to this legislation has spanned three years, witnessing Asian battery companies transition from initial apprehensions to active participation, and ultimately, acceptance of the impending paradigm shift. Upon the new battery law's enforcement, Asian battery producers exporting to Europe will confront three primary challenges:
