Ratingen, 11. Mai 2022 – Das deutsch-kanadische Unternehmen Rock Tech Lithium ist ab sofort Mitglied der European Battery Alliance (EBA). Maro efovi, Vizepräsident der europäischen Kommission, hat die Interessensvertretung 2017 ins Leben gerufen. Der EBA gehören rund 700 private Unternehmen und staatliche Institutionen an. Zu den Mitgliedern zählen unter anderem der amerikanische Lithium-Produzent Albemarle, die deutsche BASF, welche unter anderem Kathoden für Akkus produziert, oder das Fraunhofer Institut.

Ziel der EBA ist es, in Europa einen sichereren Verkehr mit umweltschonenden Fahrzeugen und nachhaltigeren technologischen Lösungen zu gewährleisten. Dieses Ziel soll durch die Schaffung einer wettbewerbsfähigen und nachhaltigen Wertschöpfungskette für die Herstellung von Batteriezellen in Europa erreicht werden. Die EBA rechnet damit, dass der entsprechende Markt bis 2025 auf ein Volumen von 250 Milliarden Euro wachsen wird.

Zum Beitritt von Rock Tech Lithium zur EBA meinte Dirk Harbecke, Chairman des Unternehmens: Für uns stellt die EBA eine fantastische Plattform dar, um unser Netzwerk aus Unternehmen der Batterie-Wertschöpfungskette, Wissenschaftlern und politischen Entscheidungsträgern weiter auszubauen. Wir freuen uns auf den Austausch mit den anderen Mitgliedern.
