Battery Production

Reducing CO₂ emissions and boosting climate neutrality - the transport sector is facing a shift toward greater sustainability in an effort to contribute to climate protection. An increasing number of electric vehicles (EV) are coming onto the market and demand is growing. The need for batteries is also increasing in line with this trend – presenting the process industry with a significant challenge. Plant operators planning to produce battery precursors or components often require a competent and reliable project partner to assist them at all stages of the project lifecycle. Industrial service providers like Bilfinger can offer valuable support for their battery plant projects.

The EV supply chain begins with the engineering and construction of plants for processing the raw materials needed for batteries – including graphite, lithium and manganese – as well as plants for the chemical production of battery components. These primarily include cathodes, anodes and electrolytes, but also so-called separators used to help convert the stored chemical energy into electrical energy. Knowledge from both industries is crucial.

An additional area that is experiencing strong demand for batteries is energy storage. These batteries allow generated (green) energy to be secured for longer and supplied when needed. Bilfinger offers services to support customers on their path toward more responsible and sustainable energy management.
