Abstract

"European battery chemicals production - why it is needed and how it will be built"

-Europe’s battery sector faces limited local production and heavy reliance on imports from Asia. Kemira, with over a century of experience in various chemistries and proven expertise in metal salts for water treatment, is applying this knowledge to develop chemicals for battery applications. With its European wide production network, Kemira supports the battery value chain from mining and refining to cell production and recycling. This presentation will discuss how Kemira’s portfolio and R&D enable regional production and strengthen Europe’s position in the global battery market.
