Siemens announces that its new battery cell research plant in Münster is currently under construction. It will be the largest German and European competence center for developing and testing battery cell production.
Siemens reports that an important milestone has just been reached in Münster on April 30, 2024, with the commissioning of innovative European machine technology for the ' FFB PreFab ', which will focus on digitization, enabling flexible planning, control, optimization and evolution of its production processes.
As a reminder, a study by the Fraunhofer Institute estimates that battery production capacity in Europe alone will quadruple by 2025, from 124 gigawatt-hours in 2022 to over 500 gigawatt-hours. By 2030, this figure should increase tenfold to 1.5 terawatt-hours.
