ABB supports greenfield battery manufacturers with fast-tracking projects

With the world’s future emission reduction depending on the manufacturing of batteries every government and every industry is working towards a net zero goal. This requires a green energy transition – in which electrification is essential. And as the globe electrifies, the demand for batteries will continue to rise.

Research shows that global demand for Li-ion batteries will grow by around 27 per cent each year – increasing from 700GWh in 2022 to a projected 4.7 TWh by 2030¹.

Whilst battery manufacturers face considerable production challenges, five challenges are the most widely reported—with production efficiency leading the list.

Improving quality while reducing off-spec material
Enhancing throughput and maximizing OEE
Managing cost pressures with decreasing battery prices
Moving from start-up through scale up
Ensuring safety and environmental responsibility

ABB helps design, equip, and operationalize plants, helping improve project execution while also ensuring safety, efficiency, and flexibility at every stage of the lifecycle.
