Building a European battery industry
The future is electric. In the massive migration from fossil to electric, the availability of capable batteries is a major issue. The need for efficient batteries – for transport, power and industrial applications – is growing fast and at an increasing pace.
The European Commission launched the European Battery Alliance in October 2017 to address this industrial challenge. The annual market value is estimated at €250 billion from 2025 onwards. For Europe, the establishment of a complete domestic battery value chain is imperative for a clean energy transition and a competitive industry.
The industrial development programme of the European Battery Alliance, the EBA250, is managed by EIT InnoEnergy. Today, EBA250 is a project-driven community which brings together more than 700 industrial and innovation actors, from mining to recycling, with the common objective to build a strong and competitive European battery industry.
A European Value Chain
Our goal:
Build a strong pan-European battery industry to capture a new market worth 250B€/year in 2025.
A unique open ecosystem
An independent
meeting place:
More than 700 members throughout the value chain have joined EBA250. The members come from the industrial, academic and financial worlds, from mining to recycling.
Project-driven
Our actions’ DNA:
Competitiveness, sustainability, significant impact, objective focus, urgency, concrete, project-driven, sharing, investment.
