Balancing clean energy and health: Addressing battery production's environmental impact

Batteries power the clean energy transition, but their production comes at a cost--environmental and human health impacts from critical mineral extraction and processing. In a new study published in Resources, Conservation and Recycling, an international team of researchers along with Dr. Asaf Tzachor, Co-Founder of the Yannay Institute for Energy Security at Reichman University, examined the hidden environmental costs of energy storage technologies.
