Description
JRC report JRC141282 provides methodological guidelines for calculating the carbon footprint of industrial batteries (CFB-IND) with exclusively internal storage and energy storage capacity greater than 2 kWh. Establishes the methodology for calculation and verification of carbon footprint as required under Article 7 of Regulation (EU) 2023/1542. Forms the technical basis for enforcement of carbon footprint declaration requirements applicable to industrial batteries from February 18, 2026.

n adoption by the Commission of another delegated act on industrial batteries with internal storage, addressing the development of a methodology to declare the carbon footprint performance classes based on the CFB-IND rules. Regarding other battery categories falling under Art.7, the JRC will work on the development of a methodology for declaring the CFB of light means of transport (LMT) batteries. ## Related content
