What is the Open Battery Passport?
The Open Battery Passport is a blockchain-based digital record of a battery designed by Minespider specifically to address the requirements of the EU and other upcoming battery regulations.
Our Aim
To enable stakeholders to make more informed decisions and ensure traceability, transparency and compliance - by providing a reliable and secure tool for recording and sharing information from every stage of the battery’s life cycle.
Manage Battery Models
Add your Battery Model data only once. Then complement it with more individual battery data for Battery Passports once needed:
Integrate the Battery Model creation with your legacy systems
Customize it based on the applicable plant manufacturing details - for the EU conformity declaration, carbon footprint details, etc.
Leverage Battery Passports
Add specific individual battery data to the Battery Model information for seamless Battery Passport creation:
Create Battery Passports quickly and easily
Choose whether you want the data to be private or public
Battery Handling & End-of-Life
Include battery updates for a more transparent, traceable record. Some options include:
Battery repairs - include details on what has been repaired and update your Battery Passport
End-of-life treatment - update the battery status and issue new Battery Passports based on treatment activities
What will you get
Unparalleled Transparency
Gain complete visibility into your EV battery's life cycle, enabling continuous improvements.
Regulatory Compliance
Meet the requirements of EU and other upcoming battery regulations with ease.
ESG Metrics & Carbon Tracking
Monitor and report on crucial environmental, social, and governance factors, carbon emissions data and percentage of the recycled content.
Easy Integration
Swiftly create Battery Passports using our open API, templates, and customizable data fields.
Circular Economy Enabler
Empower responsible handling of batteries and boost recycling efforts, promoting a sustainable future.
Unlimited Use
The Open Battery Passport includes an unlimited number of passports, accounts, and API calls.
