The growing use of batteries will play an essential role in ensuring the transition towards a climate neutral economy.ĮU Competitiveness of batteries and renewable hydrogen production through water electrolysis Support the creation & retention of skilled jobs in the EU.Bolster Europe’s resilience and strategic autonomy in critical industrial sectors.Retain the EU as global centre for automotive & energy storage innovation and competitiveness.Help companies become world leaders in clean products and technologies.Reduce transport emissions by 90% in 2050.The European Battery Alliance integrates with the Commission’s interests. In line with the European Green Deal, the Circular Economy Action Plan and the Industrial Strategy, we are working on a competitive, circular, sustainable and safe value chain for all batteries placed on the EU market. The alliance has attracted the industrial participation of some 440 actors and around €100 billion in investment commitments according to InnoEnergy. We expect that production in the EU will match demand by 2025. We only accounted for around 3% of the world market and faced a future with a mostly foreign-supplier-dependent EU. When launching the alliance, Europe had almost no battery cell manufacturing at scale. The alliance’s main aim is to build up battery technology and production capacity in the EU, which is crucial for low-emission mobility, energy storage, and Europe’s economic strategy. In October 2017, Vice President Maros Šefčovič launched the European Battery Alliance together with EU countries and industry. It sets out a comprehensive framework of regulatory and non-regulatory measures to support all segments of the battery value chain and includes the 6 priority areas below.
In 2018, the Commission adopted a strategic action plan for batteries. The European Battery Alliance aims to develop an innovative, competitive and sustainable battery value chain in Europe. Importance of compliance with EU competition law What the alliance does ĮU regions interested in collaboration on battery-related projects can join the Smart Specialisation Platform on Advanced Materials on Batteries.
In addition, InnoEnergy's business investment platform provides information and improves transactions between investees and investors.Ĭompanies and organisations can get more information and join the alliance via the EBA250 contact page. In total, 440 industrial and innovation actors have already joined the alliance. EIT InnoEnergy organises stakeholder involvement in the alliance on behalf of the Commission. The Commission holds meetings with interested EU countries and oversees the work of the European Battery Alliance and the implementation of the strategic action plan for batteries. Supported by the Commission and the European Investment Bank ( EIB ), the European Battery Alliance (EBA) brings together EU national authorities, regions, industry research institutes and other stakeholders in the battery value chain.
