| Abstract | This report presents the results of a study into the environmental conditions of lithium ion batteries shipping. It follows the 2016 report “Lithium Batteries Market Data Collection and Analysis” presenting the results of a lithium batteries market survey and the 2016 report “Review of Environmental Conditions during Freight Transportation” presenting a review of past research and analysis of the applicable and relevant regulations and standards. The study was carried out mainly on transportation routes between Western Canada and Asia. Other routes with Europe, Middle-East, and North America were assessed for reference and comparison. Two packages sizes (5kg, 32kg), and different dangerous goods markings (non-DG, DG) were evaluated. |
