Abstract

The transition from the ‘Holocene-like’ interglacial state towards the Anthropocene epoch, driven by human activities, poses risks of triggering tipping points of the Earth system. Such risks create the need for target-based product design strategies, that are aligned with the environmental carrying capacities, such as the planetary boundaries framework. In this study, we introduce a stepwise approach to determine absolute environmental sustainability targets during the product development process. The approach integrates top-down factors such as planetary boundaries, IPCC carbon budgets and sharing principles shaping these targets. Furthermore, we assess the influence of bottom-up factors such as the selection of raw material suppliers and production location in achieving them. The application of the approach is illustrated for the case study of a traction battery. The potential future applications and limitations of the proposed stepwise approach are discussed.

逐步确定电动汽车电池绝对环境可持续性目标的方法

在人类活动的推动下，从 "类全新世 "间冰期状态向 "人类世 "过渡，有可能触发地球系统的临界点。这种风险要求我们制定与环境承载能力相一致的、基于目标的产品设计战略，如行星边界框架。在本研究中，我们介绍了一种逐步式方法，用于在产品开发过程中确定绝对的环境可持续性目标。该方法整合了自上而下的因素，如行星边界、IPCC 碳预算和塑造这些目标的共享原则。此外，我们还评估了自下而上的因素对实现这些目标的影响，如原材料供应商的选择和生产地点。我们以牵引电池为例，说明了该方法的应用。我们还讨论了所建议的分步式方法在未来的潜在应用和局限性。电动汽车；可持续发展；绝对可持续性
