Audio Interview: Lithium-ion battery value chain in Europe

Oct 22, 2024

Ron Hesse speaks with Dr. Wolfgang Bernhar
In the 11-minute Audio Interview, Dr. Bernhart discusses these questions:

  • Given the recent announcements of OEMs in Europe to slow down the transition towards BEV, what does that mean for Cell demand and demand for Cathode materials?
  • Various prospective European cell manufacturers, e.g. PowerCo, ACC, and Northvolt announced to postpone their expansion plans or plans for additional factories. Can you comment on that?
  • Who will supply LFP cells then?
  • What about the impact of carbon footprint?
  • What does this all mean for the establishment of the value chain in EU?
