, EIT InnoEnergy
“An accelerated European Battery Alliance could frontload 1million new jobs and over EUR
200 billion of new business for Europe in the next 30 months.”
BASF
“BASF supports the agenda of the European Commission to foster a European battery
production value chain. BASF is investing in new battery materials production plants in
Harjavalta, Finland, and Schwarzheide, Germany. With an industry leading energy mix and
innovative recycling solutions, BASF will further contribute to a competitive and sustainable
battery value chain.”
, E-bility
“We are delighted to join forces with key players of the mobility sector as well as the EU to
work on solutions towards a more sustainable mobility system, in which electric two-
wheelers will be one of the main drivers.”
, EDF
“EDF, following its long-lasting low-carbon engagement, is looking forward to support the
decarbonisation of the battery value chain in Europe, while it forecasts a large deployment
of storage in the next years, widely based on this industry.”
, Forsee Power
“Accelerating an industrialisation of the battery value chain is of outmost importance for the
decarbonisation of transport and it needs to be supported by an ambitious plan to electrify
public transport to pull the demand. Moreover, developing a Buy Europe Act would allow us
to apply the same rules as our global competition.”
, Infinity Lithium
“Europe’s new lithium industry can make us independent from China. It could generate
20,000 thousands jobs, EUR 4 billion of revenues per year and it could support many
communities.”
, Northvolt
“This is an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to use the current global sense of urgency and
apply it towards accelerating electrification and getting rid of our fossil fuel dependence
once and for all. But it is going to require major contributions from politicians and businesses
alike. We need to invest heavily in the green industries, we need to create a sustainable
legislative framework, and we need to bring new innovative products based on clean
technology to the consumers. And we need to do it now.”
Orano Group
“Recycling strategic battery materials in Europe is key to the whole supply chain and Orano
is bringing its metallurgical expertise to support it.”
, Schneider Electric
“Accelerating the battery manufacturing in Europe is a key element to achieve a proper
energy transition and support the deployment of green jobs. Schneider Electric is fully behind
the initiative.”
, Umicore
“Umicore will continue its commitment to build a European battery industry. An ambitious
Innovation Roadmap combined with active material, battery cell and metal recycling
capabilities will be the cornerstone for Europe’s future, sustainable transportation model,
fulfilling the ambitious CO2 emission targets.”
, Vulcan
“Europe’s battery industry can lead the world with zero-carbon lithium.”
, Volkswagen
“We at Volkswagen remain fully committed to our huge EV and decarbonisation program.”
