Clean Energy Wire. German carmaker Opel, a subsidiary of French PSA, plans to manufacture enough battery cells for half a million e-cars annually in a new factory in western German Kaiserslautern from 2024. Opel revealed details of the planned factory at a press event and said up to 2,000 jobs would be created and two billion euros
Other forms of storage – batteries, electric cars, flywheels, hydrogen, chemical storage - are either minimal, or at a very early stage of development. The Commission would like to give more attention to the issues around energy storage with a view to addressing
Commodity Insights'' latest forecast puts the UK as Europe''s largest market for grid-scale energy storage by 2030, with 12.5 GW of capacity, followed by Germany with 8.1 GW and Spain with 5.1 GW. The group''s February outlook for the UK was 6.5 GW. Part of the UK''s leadership on battery storage is down to it being an early mover.
China''s growing presence in Europe''s auto industry is a result of deals to supply car manufacturers in the region, where electrification is being driven by ambitious decarbonisation plans
Meanwhile, over 90 percent of clean energy transition-related additions to battery capacity in the EU in 2021 were related to electric vehicles (Bielewski et al, 2022). European electric vehicle
In the document "A Clean Planet for all" [], European Commission presented a long-term strategy to direct EU toward a competitive and climate-neutral economy.According to this document, energy storage will have an important role in reaching CO 2 neutrality by 2050. neutrality by 2050.
The German energy storage market has experienced a mas-sive boost in recent years. This is due in large part to Ger-many''s ambitious energy transition project. Greenhouse gas emissions are to be reduced by at least 80 percent (compared to 1990 levels) up until 2050.
The factory – Hungary''s largest greenfield investment project ever – is being built by Chinese manufacturer CATL, which controls nearly two-fifths of the world''s electric vehicle (EV
These developments are propelling the market for battery energy storage systems (BESS). Battery storage is an essential enabler of renewable-energy generation, helping alternatives make a steady contribution to the world''s energy needs despite the inherently intermittent character of the underlying sources. The flexibility BESS provides
The UK is a leader in Europe with respect to energy storage projects. Harmony Energy Ltd.''s battery energy storage system (BESS), which went live in the United Kingdom in November 2022, was reported to be Europe''s largest BESS in megawatt hours (MWh) so far. The UK is also moving forward with funding new storage
Kia Europe has announced a tie-up with German start-up Encore to reuse electric car batteries for energy storage. The two firms'' first energy storage facility at
The Chinese battery cell manufacturer Eve Energy will build its first European factory in Debrecen, Hungary, to supply BMW with large round cells for new-class electric cars. This had been hinted at before – and is now officially confirmed. According to Hungarian media reports based on official statements by Hungary''s Foreign
The Berlin plant will be Tesla''s first major production facility in Europe, and its fourth so-called gigafactory – others already operate in Nevada, New York and Shanghai.
To cut emissions, last year, the European Union adopted a law to make all new cars and vans sold in Europe zero-emission from 2035 . Already in 2023, battery
Maersk''s current specialised EV battery storage facility in Teplice, Czech Republic, for example, sits within close proximity of car makers and suppliers in the country, as well as major manufacturers in
The firm will start making the compounds in Schwarzheide, Germany, in 2022. To help local firms catch up, the European Commission recently approved almost $3.5 billion in funding for the electric

After a decade of rapid growth, in 2020 the global electric car stock hit the 10 million mark, a 43% increase over 2019, and representing a 1% stock share. Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) accounted for two-thirds of new electric car registrations and two-thirds of the stock in 2020. China, with 4.5 million electric cars, has the largest fleet

The goal of this unique pilot project is to stabilize the supply of electricity in cities by using electric cars as buffers in the form of storage facilities outside the power grid. The technology will allow the vehicles to share energy with the grid and will transform them into a potentially valuable resource for the national grid in Turin, which is operated
Energy storage can stabilise fluctuations in demand and supply by allowing excess electricity to be saved in large quantities. With the energy system relying increasingly on renewables, more and more energy use is electric. Energy storage therefore has a key role to play in the transition towards a carbon-neutral economy.
The challenge of finding somewhere to rapidly charge electric vehicles on a long journey could become a thing of the past thanks to a multi-million-pound investment from National Highways.
Europe''s first gigafactory for battery storage systems is being put into operation in Lutherstadt Wittenberg, Germany. Tesvolt, a manufacturer of energy storage systems for industry and commerce, is working to establish new production facilities for lithium storage systems with an annual production capacity of over 1 GWh.
This report is an output of the Clean Energy Technology Observatory (CETO). CETO''s objective is to provide an evidence-based analysis feeding the policy making process and hence increasing the effectiveness of R&I policies for clean energy technologies and solutions. It monitors EU research and innovation activities on clean
The batteries used in electric cars will quickly become more sustainable, and many concerns about their CO2 footprint are overblown, says Hans Eric Melin,
Energy storage. Storing energy so it can be used later, when and where it is most needed, is key for an increased renewable energy production, energy efficiency and for energy security. To achieve EU''s climate and energy targets, decarbonise the energy sector and tackle the energy crisis (that started in autumn 2021), our energy
Europe''s largest energy storage facility has begun operating in the Belgian province of Wallonia, as the continent aims to secure its energy supply. The 40
Four test chambers will be retrofitted and will be used to perform electrical, mechanical and thermal abuse tests of cells (and batteries) with an energy content up to 450 Wh. These tests will include: • External and internal short circuit test. • Over-charge and over-discharge test. • Crush test.
The Chinese battery manufacturer Farasis Energy and the Turkish electric car manufacturer Togg have sealed a 50:50 joint venture called Siro. Siro will develop and produce batteries that will be used in Togg''s entire product range. While Siro''s headquarters are in Bilisim Vadisi in northwestern Turkey, series production of the
