Illuminating Global Electric Vehicle Battery Supply Chains using Hyperleger Fabric – Coenraad van Deventer, Circulor
Complex global supply chains underpin the critical minerals necessary to make electric vehicle batteries. These minerals come with a host of responsible and sustainable sourcing challenges including child labour, sanctioned countries, environmental damage and a massive inherited carbon footprint. Traceability helps auto manufactures see into their supply chains to the source of the minerals so that they can drive improvement. The Circulor platform, built using Hyperledger Fabric, traditional database and and machine learning tools is used to create supply chain traceability and digital product passports for electric vehicles. The platform, which is the most mature solution of its kind globally, is currently being used by numerous auto OEMs at scale to underpin US EV tax credits as well as EU battery passports.
