The Digital Battery Passport with CORENATE. Data that makes batteries worth more.

From 18 February 2027, the battery passport is mandatory for EV batteries, industrial batteries above 2 kWh, and batteries for light means of transport.

The same record that satisfies the regulator also proves recycled content, unlocks second life, and shows a carbon footprint that keeps your product on the EU market.

The regulation is not only asking. It is also creating a market.

From 18 February 2027 every EV battery, industrial battery above 2 kWh, and LMT battery needs a passport behind its QR code. That part is well known.

Less well known is what sits behind it. From August 2031, new batteries must contain minimum shares of recycled cobalt, lead, lithium, and nickel. Carbon thresholds will decide what may be sold in Europe at all. Both are proven with data, and the passport is where that data lives.

Battery Passport: Intro

  1. Digital Product Passport The EU standard for transparent product data.
  2. Digital Battery Passport One code on the battery.
  3. February 18, 2027 Mandatory under the EU Battery Regulation.
  4. Who is affected Light means of transport Electric vehicles Industrial batteries above 2 kWh
  5. The foundation EU registry and 8 DPP standards.
  6. One scan opens the passport All battery data in one place.
  7. Digital Battery Passport Identity: DBP-2027-7F3A-0042 Materials: NMC 811 Carbon footprint: 61 kg CO₂e/kWh State of health: 98% Example data
  8. Compliance is only the minimum The same data creates real business value.
  9. Reuse Same purpose: passed on without technical changes.
  10. Remanufacturing Same purpose: cell replacement for at least 90% of the original capacity.
  11. Repurposing New purpose: for example, as a stationary energy storage system.
  12. Recycling Materials such as lithium, cobalt, nickel, and copper can be recovered.
  13. Capture once, use everywhere. Book a demo now or simply request the latest information.

Mandatory Data Points

A single EV battery passport requires over 100 mandatory data attributes (serial number, chemistry, carbon footprint, manufacturer data, etc.) to be recorded in the EU data exchange system.

Compliance Deadline

Starting on February 18, 2027, the digital battery passport becomes mandatory for EV, LMT, and industrial batteries above 2 kWh placed on the EU market, including the QR code requirement.

Demand Growth

The European Commission estimates lithium battery demand will grow more than tenfold by 2030 — underscoring the urgency of scalable data infrastructure now.

Capture once, use everywhere

You capture your battery data once. From then on, the same base feeds every requirement the regulation places on it. Four examples, one foundation.

Digital Battery Passport

Materials, origin, carbon value, and repair information held in one structured record.

Product Carbon Footprint

The footprint draws on the same material and supplier data you already maintain, and it decides market access once the thresholds apply.

Recycled content proof

Declaration becomes mandatory in 2028, the minimum shares in 2031. Both are proven from the same base.

ESG reporting

Your reporting metrics draw on the same source as your compliance records.

Three things this data makes possible

Sell into a mandated market

From August 2031, new industrial, SLI, and EV batteries must contain recycled cobalt, lead, lithium, and nickel. Recovered material is no longer looking for buyers, it has a legal quota waiting.

What it needs is provable origin, and that is a data problem.

Keep your market access

The Commission is setting maximum lifecycle carbon thresholds.

Batteries above them may no longer be placed on the EU market. A carbon footprint you can substantiate stops being a reporting exercise and becomes a condition of sale.

Extend the life of the asset

A traction battery that no longer meets automotive requirements can still work in stationary storage. Cycle history, capacity, and ageing behaviour decide whether that happens.

Without the record, a usable battery becomes waste.

Built on open standards

CORENATE is built on the Asset Administration Shell, the international Industry 4.0 standard for the digital twin. Your battery data is described with clear semantics and moves automatically between systems. The passport fits into the landscape you already run, from ERP and MES to PLM, IoT, and cloud, and stays compatible with Catena-X, Manufacturing-X, and Europe's coming data spaces.

Catena-X named first here, since automotive is the core audience for EV batteries.

The same data, working elsewhere

The record built for the regulator does not stop there.

  • Assess performance and remaining useful life on real data
  • Get through audits and transport compliance faster
  • Support safe operation and lower maintenance cost
  • Give customers and partners something verifiable

Frequently asked questions about the Digital Battery Passport

The key questions, answered briefly.
When does the digital battery passport apply?
From 18 February 2027. Unlike most product groups under the Ecodesign Regulation, this date is already fixed in law through the EU Battery Regulation 2023/1542.
Which batteries are covered?
EV batteries, industrial batteries above 2 kWh, and batteries for light means of transport such as e-bikes and scooters.
What does the passport have to contain?
Material composition and origin of critical raw materials, performance and durability parameters, carbon footprint, certificates and test reports, and information on disassembly, recycling, and reuse. The detail is set out in the regulation and its annexes.
How is the passport accessed?
Through a QR code on the battery, which links to the passport record. Different information is available to different parties, from the general public to authorities and recyclers.
When do the recycled content rules start?
Declaration of recycled content is required from 18 August 2028. The minimum shares themselves apply from 18 August 2031, rising again in 2036.
What is the Asset Administration Shell?
The international Industry 4.0 standard for the digital twin. It describes product data clearly and makes it exchangeable between systems.
Do we have to replace our IT for this?
No. The passport fits into your existing ERP, MES, PLM, IoT, and cloud systems.
How do we best get started?
Get in touch and tell us what you build and where your data sits today. We will take it from there.
