This year will be a pivotal one for the operations at Farasis Energy Europe, the European division of the high-performance battery maker. Farasis, headquartered in China where it has most of its R&D, manufacturing and supply chain, is accelerating the ramp up of its Siro joint venture gigafactory in Turkey, where it started producing battery modules and packs in March …
Batteries Europe is the platform bringing together all relevant stakeholders in the European batteries research and innovation ecosystem in order to develop and support a competitive battery value chain in Europe.
Statutory collection and recycling quotas, the expansion of the European battery industry and the production scrap in cell manufacturing are further stimulating the development of the recycling industry. End-of-life (EoL) traction batteries, which currently still often come from pilot and test vehicles, are also contributing to this.
In addition, recycling will increasingly contribute to local supply availability over the next decades, provided that Europe succeeds in creating a closed loop system. Overall, Europe will continue to be reliant on foreign imports of battery metals to the extent of around 30% to 65% by 2030, depending on the metal.
Following its first analysis of Europe’s battery value chain development vis-a-vis the US Inflation Reduction Act in 2023 , the report provides an update on the progress made, including an in-depth industry analysis, along with a toolbox of industrial policies for Europe to secure a resilient and sustainable battery supply chain domestically. 2.
The European battery recycling ecosystem is developing quickly — driven by the need to recycle battery scrap and supported by a strong regulatory framework. Competition will be intense, with partnerships, ambition, and funding all required for success. Thus, players need to take the following actions:
Europe should double-down on scaling recycling and metallurgical recovery capacities to ensure valuable battery waste is turned into new battery cells locally and not exported to Asia. This means prioritising integrated recyclers as strategic projects under CRMA, and limiting end-of-life battery and black mass exports outside of Europe.

As most of the batteries'' management facilities are located in the centre of Europe, this study assesses whether using a decentralised model to handle batteries from EVs is more sustainable...
However, more capacities are also being announced in Eastern Europe. Proximity to battery material producers, battery cell producers or car manufacturers is a recognizable driver for the selection of recycling infrastructure locations, e.g. in central and eastern Germany, Hungary, northern France or on the Scandinavian coast.

To achieve this, the EU is advancing two key legislative acts — the Net Zero Industry Act and the Critical Raw Materials Act — to foster industrialization and secure raw materials for the emerging battery industry. Both acts are setting local production capacity targets for 2030.
Sustainable and efficient battery recycling is essential for the European Li-ion battery value chain and aligns with the Battery Partnership''s objectives under Horizon Europe. The EU-funded ReUse project aims to improve the sustainability of low-value LFP battery waste. It will develop new recycling processes to recover input elements and components from the entire waste stream. …
As most of the batteries'' management facilities are located in the centre of Europe, this study assesses whether using a decentralised model to handle batteries from EVs is more sustainable and economical than using a centralised model where most of the EVs batteries are handled and prepared for a 2 nd life usage or recycling in a bigger and unique facility in …

Samsung''s first European EV battery plant opened in 2018, in its former plasma display panel (PDP) factory. It was capable of producing batteries for 50,000 electric vehicles per year. However, due to a significant lift in demand, Samsung bought a neighboring plot, tripling the capacity of its Hungary operations, lifting cell production from six million to 18 million per …
With our current assumptions, which include decreasing mineral intensity and the uptake of new chemistries, recycling can cover an increasing share of European EV batteries material demand for cobalt, nickel and lithium. But most of the input will still need to be mined, as demand is growing exponentially.
Flash Battery is among the 17 European companies engaged in the Important Project of Common European Interest (IPCEI Summer on Batteries) which aims to strengthen the EU capacity in the industrial production of next-gen lithium batteries and support the environmental sustainability of the battery value chain. Flash Battery will develop an advanced …

The product group comprises batteries mainly used as power sources for the starter of a combustion engine, as well all the electrical components of a vehicle. Main …
End-of-Life batteries and scrap from battery gigafactories in Europe have potential to provide 14% of all lithium, 16% of nickel, 17% of manganese, and a quarter of cobalt demand by 2030 already. These materials will be enough to build between 1.3 and 2.4 million EVs locally in 2030, up to 10 mln in 2035, and up to 15 mln EVs by 2040.
Swedish battery manufacturer Northvolt, once the poster child of Europe''s green industry and battery independence, has narrowly avoided bankruptcy prompted by a liquidity crunch – despite a remarkable $55 billion order book and $15 billion raised in debt, equity, and subsidies. Now Northvolt''s near-death experience is raising serious concerns about the …
