30 companies want the fördermilliarde
many years of efforts, the berlin policy in vain for a batteriezellenfertigung around here, now swing in the project. more than 30 companies have submitted applications to the ministry of economic affairs to promote such production. the ministry is, overall, a billion euro money in prospect. "our förderaufruf to build a batteriezellenproduktion is a success story and reflects the mood of optimism in the industry reflect this," said minister peter altmaier (cdu). companies along the entire value chain are among the candidates, so car manufacturers and their suppliers, battery producers are raw materials and recycling companies, chemical companies and.
tendering procedure in two stages
according to the ministry, the proposed „projektskizzen with pressure checked ". then, the companies, their applications in a second stage concrete. "it is also the formation of consortia", informed the ministry further. in parallel, will promote the eu commission discussed, so quickly can be started. the promotion of one or more zellenfabriken by the eu as an important project of common european interest (ipcei) is qualified, and even national aid is possible. in general, such projects must be transnational. for example, varta: the swabian batteriezellenhersteller had at the end of last week about his participation in the altmaier call information. this cooperates varta claims with partners from five european countries „entlang the value chain for lithium-ion cells, the industrialization of the batteriezellenproduktion in europe ".
vw and varta are
the listed varta ag is the only company that publicly committed to call. the ministry of economic affairs said monday no names, but in addition to varta is another candidate pretty sure: the battery bmz's together with the producers of electric vehicles e.go and streetscooter in north rhine westphalia, establish a zellfertigung, possibly with the help of the ford in cologne.
volkswagen also strives for the taxpayers' money. we have interest in research funding at the federal ministry for economic affairs and energy expresses, "said the company. the manufacturer cooperates with the south korean ski and wants to build three batteriezellenproduktionen, here is the vw site salzgitter into consideration. volkswagen, the transformation from the combustion to the electric motor as a second manufacturer and takes up to the middle of the next decade, the capacity of at least three major zellenfabriken. it is reported that vw to easter, provide information on the specific projects and sites.
catl builds factory in erfurt
the zellenmarkt is dominated by a half dozen asian manufacturers, the german car companies to supply increasingly investing in europe. samsung, lg chem and ski are building factories in poland and hungary, the chinese catl has a location in erfurt, decided by the bmw supplied also. bmw builds cars in leipzig.
the policy has the zellenfertigung identified as key industry and, therefore, more than half a billion euro in the past ten years invested in research. what is missing here is a zellfertigung for batteries. varta is the world leader in small batteries for hearing aids and headphones, but has no experience with the large sized cells for car batteries.
the federal government finances a forschungsfabrik
"if we have good jobs in the industry and creating new jobs, we must in the innovative batteriezellfertigung leader," said minister altmaier. therefore, a so-called forschungsfabrik with up to 600 million euro. here, too, is currently running the call until the end of june will be decided, where the new device is formed. have applied to dresden, ulm / karlsruhe, munster, do, munich, braunschweig and itzehoe.(徳囯ASK电容器)
