Global Organization
The development and production of batteries has become a strategic imperative for the EU, enabling the clean energy transition and as a key component of the competitiveness of the automotive sector. To help the EU become a global leader in sustainable battery production and use, in 2018 the Commission published a strategic action plan on batteries.
BYD’s Blade Battery Factory in Chongqing Located in the city’s Bishan District, the factory is currently the only production base for the Blade Battery. It possesses a highly demanding production environment and much of BYD's self-developed Blade Battery production equipment.
The manufacturing process begins with building the chassis using a combination of aluminium and steel; emissions from smelting these remain the same in both ICE and EV. However, the environmental impact of battery production begins to change when we consider the manufacturing process of the battery in the latter type.
Targeted production volumes range from 7 to 76 GWh. Fig. 1. Selected battery cell manufacturing plants announced for 2025 (see Appendix for related references). 2.3. Cell manufacturing and roll-to-roll processes
To produce today’s LIB cells, calculations of energy consumption for production exist, but they vary extensively. Studies name a range of 30–55 kWh prod per kWh cell of battery cell when considering only the factory production and excluding the material mining and refining 31, 32, 33.
This can be derived from Fig. 1 that provides an overview of selected projected lithium-ion battery production capacities for the year 2025. Targeted production volumes range from 7 to 76 GWh.
