Batteries and renewables
Every cell, every component, every origin claim. Proved before it counts.
From 18 February 2027 every electric-vehicle battery and every industrial battery above 2 kWh placed on the EU market needs a digital passport. Intelicap gives the data behind it a signed origin, so the passport shows what the supply chain can prove.
01 · The problem
A passport is only as good as the data poured into it.
Mine, refiner, cathode plant and cell maker each send files and certificates. The pack maker publishes them in the passport and carries the liability. A developer bidding in a wind or solar auction has to prove where its main components come from. An audit report says what one auditor saw, once.
Why now
18 February 2027. The battery passport becomes mandatory for electric-vehicle and light-transport batteries, and industrial batteries above 2 kWh.
18 August 2027. Due diligence duties apply to cobalt, lithium, nickel and natural graphite.
Since 30 December 2025, at least 30 % of auctioned renewable energy capacity, or 6 GW a year, is subject to non-price criteria including resilience, cybersecurity and responsible business conduct.
14 December 2027. Products made with forced labour can be banned from the EU market.
02 · The passport
Every claim signed by the party that made it.
Each lot, cell batch and main component gets a record. Origin, audit, carbon value and every handover are signed by the party that did it. A cell batch names its input lots, so recycled content and origin are arithmetic anyone can repeat.
The buyer, auditor or authority with the mandate decides whether the signed evidence meets its conditions. The passport provider keeps the passport and its format.
Intelicap keeps the proof of each claim. The party with the mandate decides. Intelicap holds no goods, no funds and no rights.
03 · The claim
Every condition met by a signed entry, or the claim waits.
- Origin signed. mine
- Refining signed. refiner
- Cell batch signed. cell maker
- Audit signed. auditor
- Passport field backed. passport provider
04 · Alerts
Spot the gap. Hold the claim.
Supply-chain claims fail in the gaps between tiers. On the record, each gap is an entry.
- Detect. A lot claimed twice, output above signed inputs, a signer outside its mandate.
- Anchor. The alert is an entry with its time and source.
- Hold. The claim or shipment pauses.
- Decide. The buyer, auditor or authority with the mandate decides.
- Record. Cleared or refused, with the reason.
05 · Who gains
Every honest party wins.
Battery and vehicle makers
A passport you can defend
Every field backed by a signed entry from the tier that knows it.
Energy storage suppliers
Ready for 18 February 2027
Industrial batteries above 2 kWh carry their proof from cell to installation.
Wind and solar developers
Origin that wins the auction
Main components signed by their makers, ready for resilience criteria.
Mines and refiners
Responsible supply that travels
Your audits and origin stay with every lot, so buyers can rely on them.
Auditors and notified bodies
A signature that travels
What you verify is signed once in your name and read unaltered downstream.
Passport providers
Evidence behind every field
Signed entries through the standard interface you already support.
06 · The first step
One battery, made provable.
One battery model or storage system and its main suppliers. Your passport provider and your systems stay as they are. A shadow run ahead of 18 February 2027, measured in passport fields backed by signed evidence and in time to answer an authority's question.
