DPP: Battery Pass

This section outlines the steps required to successfully complete the DPP use case within the Data Space Accelerator study.

The DPP-Battery Pass in Catena-X refers to the Digital Product Passport (DPP) concept specifically designed for batteries within the Catena-X data ecosystem. It provides a standardized digital record of a battery's lifecycle information, including material origin, manufacturing details, technical specifications, and sustainability-related data.

The DSA participant must provide Battery Product Carbon Footprint (BP-PCF) data in accordance with Catena-X standards. This includes setting up a valid BPNS, creating a Digital Twin containing BP-PCF data, and exposing both the data and the Digital Twin through the EDC. The participant must then inform Cofinity-X about the availability of the data.

Prerequisites

  • Completed onboarding to Cofinity-X (see Program Overview)

  • A valid BPNS (site identifier) for the manufacturing site providing the data

  • A suitable Battery Pass solution connected via the Marketplace

  • Your Asset, Access and Usage Policy, and Contract Definition creation flow set up per the Catena-X Industry Core standards

Step 1: Create your BP-PCF Digital Twin

Your data must follow the Battery Pass schema.

Use "digitalTwinType": "PartType" when creating the Digital Twin.

Your shell descriptor's submodelDescriptors must reference your Data Asset ID and your dspEndpoint.

Step 2: Set your DTR Access and Usage Policy

Usage policy must reference FrameworkAgreement: DataExchangeGovernance:1.0 and UsagePurpose: cx.core.digitalTwinRegistry:1.

Step 3: Set your Submodel Data Asset Access and Usage Policy

Usage policy must reference FrameworkAgreement: circulareconomy:1.0, and UsagePurpose: cx.circular.dpp:1.

Access policy must reference Membership: active and grant access to Cofinity-X's BPN: BPNLCOFINITYEZFA.

See the Catena-X ODRL Profile for constraint syntax for both policies above.

Step 4: Notify Cofinity-X

Send an email to [email protected] with your EDC endpoint and BPNL.

Our EDC details (consumer):

  • BPNL: BPNLCOFINITYEZFA

What happens next

Cofinity-X will consume and validate your data against Catena-X requirements. Upon successful validation, the participant is officially recognized as Catena-X DPP ready and can proceed to receive financial reimbursement in the Data Space Accelerator Portal.
