#WeKnowBatteryProduction
As a link between science, research and industry, the main objective of the Fraunhofer Research Institution for Battery Cell Production is to establish a research infrastructure for ecological and economical battery cell production.
It intends to accelerate the innovation and commercialization process of production technologies for existing and future cell formats.
The focal points of our work gather in all areas around battery (production): From battery technology and certification of new battery types to process optimization in production, application, battery recycling and further education/ training opportunities.
Fraunhofer FFB has designed, built, and operates production facilities of different sizes. This gives us extensive expertise in production and factory planning. The knowledge and experience we gain will enable the european battery industry to achieve innovative and sustainable production. Interdisciplinary collaboration underpins our decisions and provides new perspectives on old problems.
We focus on meeting the unique production demands of both small-scale laboratory plants for material testing and industrial battery cell production on a gigawatt scale. We conduct research and develop customized solutions to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of these environments.
