Battery Live Talk: “Sodium Ion Batteries – A solution to dependency on critical supply chains?”

Welcome to the Battery Live Talk organised by the team of the Accompanying Research for Battery Cell Production on behalf of the German Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action.

“Sodium Ion Batteries – A solution to dependency on critical supply chains?”
Thursday 27th of October 2022, 16:30 – 17:15  (CEST)

In this Battery Live Talk, moderator Dr. Kerstin Zehbe, VDI/VDE-IT, will discuss with her guests Andreas Bergfelt, Altris, and Anselm Lorenzoni, EDAG Production Solution, how Europe can keep up in the sodium battery technology, especially as the first mass productions are already starting in China.

Sodium ion batteries are promising: They can operate well in colder temperatures, and sodium is cheap and abundant. Sodium based batteries will be more environmentally friendly and even less expensive than lithium ion batteries are becoming now. Thus, Europe should not miss out on this technology.

Join the coming Battery Live Talk to dive into the topic, find out what needs to be done to keep up pace, listen to insightful presentations and participate in the interactive panel discussion.

What will be addressed?

• Sodium ion batteries – More of a challenge than an opportunity for the EU?
• Will sodium ion batteries replace lithium?
• Is Europe too late to keep up with the development in this new technology?
