Li-ion batteries play a crucial role in Europe''s energy transition, yet production dominance lies with China, Korea, and Japan. To counter this dependency, Europe plans to establish 25 new gigafactories amounting to EUR 35 billion by 2030. However, defects are anticipated to occur at rates ranging from 15 % to 30 % during the initial ramp-up ...
The development and production of batteries has become a strategic imperative for the EU, enabling the clean energy transition and as a key component of the competitiveness of the automotive sector. To help the EU become a global leader in sustainable battery production and use, in 2018 the Commission published a strategic action plan on batteries.
To help the EU become a global leader in sustainable battery production and use, in 2018 the Commission published a strategic action plan on batteries. It covers the different stages of the value chain, identifies a number of strategic goals and proposes a range of tools to achieve them.
The European Union's new battery regulations represent an ambitious effort to regulate the full lifecycle of global battery production. However, questions have been raised about their ability to regulate the social and environmental performance of mining and battery manufacturers.
42 By 2030, if companies implement the announced projects successfully, the EU could reach battery production capacity in the range from 714 GWh to 1 200 GWh. Annex III provides a breakdown of current production capacity per member state and of planned capacity for 2025 and 2030.
Overall, since 2014, the EU budget provided at least €1.7 billion in grants and loan guarantees, which add to state aid of up to €6 billion to the European battery industry notified by member states and authorised by the Commission between 2019 and 2021.
33 Crucially, the Commission does not monitor EU production of battery cells sufficiently. Eurostat currently reports on quantities (units) of batteries produced44 regardless of their energy capacity in Watt-hours, which is the essential market indicator.

Energy batteries* differ in their capacity, i.e. the amount of energy they can store and release after recharging. Capacity is defined as the amount of power that the battery can release in one hour and is measured in kWh. A battery capacity usually ranges from 15 to 100 kWh. The larger the size of a battery and the higher its energy density, the greater its capacity**. The production …
In total, more than 40 cell manufacturers have announced plans to build battery factories in Europe. According to Fraunhofer ISI, this means that in 2030, around 1.5 TWh and thus around a quarter of global battery cell production capacity will be located in Europe. Germany will produce the most battery cells at 395 GWh. It is followed by the ...
