By 2040, it is forecasted that there will be demand for around 200GWh of battery production in the UK. Presently, we are some way off that target. This presentation from UKBIC will focus on the opportunities available in battery manufacturing. It will discuss what lessons we have learnt during the construction of the Government funded facility, what lessons we have learnt during scaleup of customer product, and what we, as a key part of the Faraday Battery Challenge, the UK Government’s programme to fast track the development of cost-effective, high-performance, durable, safe, low-weight and recyclable batteries, can do to help the sector.
