=====Methods=====
The research method involved constructing a "base case" to model material flows, emissions, and value flows for the battery value chain. Levers to positively influence GHG emissions and value flows were identified, and their impact estimated. Quality and feasibility tests were conducted on developed scenarios, focusing on lithium-ion batteries and their application in transport, energy storage, and consumer electronics. The analysis used proprietary databases, models, stakeholder perspectives, research papers, and expert interviews.\\
