Sunwoda's Digital Battery Passport Solution was a finalist in the Supply Chain and Scope 3 Decarbonisation Project of the Year category at the 2026 edie Energy and Tech Awards. The system links data from raw material sourcing, manufacturing, use, and recycling into one digital record, which helps companies map product carbon footprints, spot emissions hotspots, and prepare sustainability disclosures. The platform launched in October 2025 after pilots in 2024, with six modules covering supply chain management, traceability, carbon footprint, due diligence, passport management, and operations. Sunwoda says it completed five pilots in 2025 and engaged 28 key suppliers in carbon management. The work is timed ahead of the EU Battery Regulation, which requires digital passports for EV batteries, light transport batteries, and industrial batteries above 2 kWh placed on the EU market from February 2027.

Battery passports are one of those things that sound dry until you try to trace a battery's carbon footprint across suppliers. This is a solid writeup on why data standards matter for EU market access. Curious how many of those 78 indicators are actually verifiable vs self reported.

The EU regulation deadline is Feb 2027 for EV and industrial batteries over 2 kWh. That is not far off. Sunwoda getting pilots done in 2025 and engaging 28 suppliers puts them ahead of a lot of companies that are still figuring out where their data lives.

Worth noting the category is Supply Chain and Scope 3 Decarbonisation. That framing matters. The passport is not just a compliance artifact, it is a tool for hotspot analysis. But the real test is whether downstream buyers actually use the data to change purchasing decisions.

Question for anyone closer to this: does the passport cover second life and recycling data in a way that survives a battery changing owners? The article mentions use and recycling, but the hard part is keeping the record alive when the battery moves to a different market or repurposing stream.
