GlassDome Selected as Lead Organizer for 'Global Battery Alliance Digital Battery Passport Project'

Response to EU Digital Battery Passport System
Consortium of 13 Companies Including Samsung SDI, SKIET, Ecopro, Lotte Infracell, and SK C&C

Glasdom Korea, a carbon emission data management solution company, announced on the 21st that it has been selected as the lead organization for the 'Digital Battery Passport Project' after receiving approval from the Global Battery Alliance (GBA). Glasdom Korea formed a consortium with a total of 13 companies, including Samsung SDI, SK Innovation Technology (SKIET), Ecopro, and Lotte Infracell, and plans to promote a pilot project to proactively respond to the EU Digital Battery Passport regulations.

The Global Battery Alliance (GBA) was established in 2017 at the World Economic Forum through collaboration among battery manufacturers, raw material mining companies, energy companies, and government agencies. To achieve the goal of carbon neutrality across the entire battery value chain by 2050, it proposed the concept of the 'Digital Battery Passport.' The 'Digital Battery Passport' is a system that tracks and manages the entire lifecycle information and sustainability data of electric vehicle and industrial batteries with capacities of 2kWh or more distributed within the EU, providing this information in the form of a digital passport. It is scheduled to be fully implemented starting February 2027. Accordingly, battery manufacturers and partners must collect and manage key data such as the carbon footprint of battery products, the ratio of recycled materials, and origin history.

Glasdom possesses technology that can manage the carbon footprint lifecycle of products based on real data. Through its self-developed product carbon footprint solution, it provides one-stop support from data collection during the manufacturing process to monitoring and reporting, enabling perfect compliance with global environmental regulations. The Glasdom-led consortium plans to derive accurate product carbon footprints based on real data throughout the entire battery manufacturing cycle through the pilot project, and will also introduce a data transmission compatibility system based on data security between manufacturers and partners.

Ham Jin-ki, CEO of Glasdom Korea, stated, “As the transition from a linear economy to a circular economy accelerates, legal measures to disclose environmental impact information, including product carbon footprints and recycling rates, and to achieve sustainability goals are rapidly strengthening in the global market.” He added, “Glasdom is a global leading company providing commercialized carbon regulation response solutions to its clients, and we will do our best to enhance the export competitiveness of not only large domestic manufacturers but also medium and small partner companies.”
