Purpose
Embrace the future of sustainable battery management with the Battery Passport software solution, powered by Bosch Semantic Stack.
Growing demand for batteries
The global demand for e-mobility is increasing. While batteries have to be more and more powerful, the raw materials required are becoming scarcer and scarcer. In addition to new methods for the resource- and energy-saving production of batteries, the reuse of the raw materials contained in spent batteries will be particularly important.
As part of its wider regulatory ambitions towards sustainability, the EU is introducing Digital Product Passports (DPPs), the first of which will be required for batteries from 2027.
Legal situation
The European Union’s Battery Regulation (2023/1542) mandates the introduction of digital battery passports (DBPs) for:
-
EV batteries
-
Light means of transport (LMT) batteries
-
Industrial batteries above 2 kWh
Starting in 2027, digital battery passports will provide comprehensive lifecycle information, including performance metrics, chemical composition, material sourcing, and carbon footprint data.
The regulation aims to promote a circular economy by enhancing transparency and enabling better tracking, reuse, and recycling of batteries. While the EU is leading this initiative, global interest is growing.
Standardized data formats and access protocols are expected through delegated acts, fostering interoperability and informed decision-making for stakeholders across the battery value chain.
Turn a challenge into an opportunity
Navigating the complexities of the upcoming digital battery passport regulations also presents a strategic opportunity for organizations.
Transform compliance into a competitive advantage — with the Battery Passport software solution powered by Bosch Semantic Stack.
Leveraging digital twin technology, our software empowers users to create transparency across the entire battery lifecycle, fostering sustainability and enabling data-driven decision-making.
Digital twins
A digital twin in general is a digital representation of a physical asset, such as a battery.
The Asset Administration Shell is a standardized digital twin, fostering interoperability.
For detailed information on how Bosch Semantic Stack uses digital twins for the core tools that Battery Passport is based on, refer to
The Asset Administration Shell (AAS) at Bosch Semantic Stack.
Interoperability: Cross-company data sharing
Battery Passport is based on the Asset Administration Shell industry standard. This provides you with enhanced interoperability, streamlined data exchange, and simplified integration with various systems and platforms throughout the battery value chain.
The standardized approach ensures that information from diverse sources, such as manufacturers, distributors, and recyclers, can be seamlessly combined and accessed. By adhering to the Asset Administration Shell industry standard, Battery Passport facilitates a common understanding of battery data. This enables:
-
Efficient collaboration
-
Informed decision-making
-
Improved transparency across the industry
This ultimately contributes to a more sustainable and circular battery ecosystem.
Enabling large-scale data integration
Battery Passport is your entry into product-centric digitalization.
Through standardized digital twins, you consume data across the entire product lifecycle — for current and future data-driven solutions. For future solutions, avoid recurring efforts for integrating every data source with every new software solution.
With Battery Passport powered by Bosch Semantic Stack, you already use the infrastructure that leverages the benefits and scalability of semantically enriched, standardized digital twins. Easily add more data sources or reuse the existing semantic integrations to enable new use cases, resulting in scalable data-driven software solutions.
