Batteries play a key role in the transition to sustainable and smart mobility by providing clean, affordable and safe energy. They also play a crucial role in promoting a clean, circular economy, aligning with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

To successfully achieve sustainability goals, it is imperative that batteries are simultaneously more sustainable, safe, high-performance and affordable. This requires achieving high levels of performance, an extended service life, reliability, safety and environmental sustainability, all while enabling cost-efficient large-scale production.

The successful transition to a carbon-neutral industrial sector brings with it significant opportunities but is a complex challenge.

Decarbonization represents a profound transformation for most companies, characterized by time-consuming processes, high costs in adopting environmentally friendly technologies and difficulties in accessing financing. Moreover, the situation is exacerbated by economic complexities such as inflation, disruptions in energy markets, supply shortages, and rising interest rates.

Both established companies and startups compete in this domain, each leveraging its distinct advantages. To achieve success, companies must create a robust decarbonization strategy, adapt to ever-changing market opportunities and policies, and make agile decisions.
