On March 23 was held in Brussels the European Battery Alliance (EBA) High-Level Industrial Meeting organised and hosted by EBA250-EIT InnoEnergy. This meeting brought together key stakeholders along a battery value chain to take stock of the achievements of the EBA since its launch five years ago. The high-level representatives of the EBA confirmed their […]
Yesterday, the Commission and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced support for a collaboration between the European Battery Alliance and the U.S. Li-Bridge alliance to accelerate development of robust supply chains for lithium-ion and next generation batteries, including the critical raw materials segments. Bolstering the clean energy economy and strengthening the battery value chain
EBA250 team will be present at The Business Booster – the annual sustainable energy innovation event organised by EIT InnoEnergy – together with some of the solutions that are enabling the establishment of a competitive and sustainable battery industry in Europe. Now in its 10th edition, The Business Booster cuts through the noise of the

Big news for the stationary battery storage market. Last week, Australian-based Origin Energy announced its intention to close down Australia’s largest coal-fired power plant before “end of life”. Once power production will cease, the site is expected to host a 700MWh battery storage instead. This means that we have reached a point in sun-rich areas where

At the launch of the European Battery Alliance (EBA) in 2017 there was virtually no cell production capacity in Europe. And Northvolt’s endeavour to build a battery manufacturing plant was seen with a lot of scepticism. Today, Europe’s green industrial revolution is a fact. The EBA has in just 5 years turned Europe into a
French startup Verkor has announced the selection of Dunkirk (Hauts de France) for the construction of its first Gigafactory that will produce low-carbon battery cells designed to support Europe’s net-zero goals. The announcement marks a significant milestone for Verkor, founded in 2020, and for the European battery industry at large. Dunkirk has proven to be

A year ago we reported on a substantial growth in Energy Storage Systems (ESS) projects being established around the world. The largest battery ESS installed is till the Moss Landing facility in California with 400 MW/1200 MWh capacity. There are however several other very large scale projects being announced. Europe is also getting into the
