EU Battery Passport deadline: February 2027

Verify supply chains with physics, not paperwork

MantleGraph validates critical mineral supply chain claims against stoichiometric, thermodynamic, and processing constraints — catching impossible claims that blockchain alone cannot detect.

// The problem

Existing traceability records claims. It doesn't verify them.

Blockchain-based supply chain systems accept whatever companies report. A supplier could claim 10 kg of input produced 1,000 kg of output — and the system would record it without complaint.

No Mass Balance Validation

EPCIS records input and output quantities as independent, unvalidated numbers. There are zero stoichiometric constraints — no chemical formulas, no molecular weights, no conservation checks.

Customer-Defined Rules

Leading traceability platforms let customers define their own expected yields. A sophisticated actor can configure plausible-looking rules that don't reflect actual chemistry.

No Transformation Chemistry

No commercial system validates that a claimed conversion — ore to concentrate to cathode — follows physically achievable pathways with feasible energy requirements.

// Supplier claims: spodumene concentrate → battery-grade LiOH (single step, 98% recovery) { "alert_id": "FRD-LI-2026-0047", "severity": "CRITICAL", "violations": [ { "constraint": "CHEMISTRY_FEASIBILITY", "error": "Invalid single-step transformation — 3 intermediate steps required" }, { "constraint": "STOICHIOMETRIC_YIELD", "error": "Claimed 98% recovery exceeds theoretical max of 85%" }, { "constraint": "ENERGY_INTENSITY", "error": "8.5 kg CO₂e/kg claimed vs 25.0 kg CO₂e/kg minimum feasible" } ], "recommendation": "REJECT — multiple constraint violations indicate fabricated provenance" }
// How MantleGraph works

Four verification gates. Zero physically impossible claims.

Every supply chain claim passes through physics-constrained validation before it enters your compliance record.

Stoichiometric Mass Balance

Computes mass balance from input/output chemical formulas. Flags claims where output mass exceeds what chemistry allows.

Yield Feasibility Gate

Compares claimed yields against theoretical maximums derived from reaction stoichiometry and industrial benchmarks.

Chemistry Pathway Validation

Checks material class transitions against allowable transformation pathways. You can't skip from ore to battery material in one step.

Energy Intensity Bounds

Validates claimed carbon and energy intensities against minimum feasible thresholds. Suspiciously low footprints trigger alerts.

// Regulatory coverage

Built for the compliance deadlines that matter

Four overlapping regulations converging in 2027 create mandatory demand for verified supply chain data. MantleGraph provides comply-once, satisfy-many infrastructure.

FEB 2027

EU Battery Passport

Regulation 2023/1542 mandates digital passports for EV and industrial batteries — carbon footprint, recycled content, and supply chain due diligence, all verified.

ACTIVE — EXPANDING

UFLPA Enforcement

Lithium, copper, and steel added as high-priority sectors. "Clear and convincing evidence" standard requires material verification, not just paper trails.

MID-2027

CSDDD

Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive requires companies to identify and address human rights and environmental impacts across value chains.

LATE 2027

EU Forced Labour Regulation

Prohibits products made with forced labour from the EU market. Enforcement requires verifiable provenance data with auditable evidence chains.
