    Can Norway offer both: Green and competitive batteries to Europe?

    Electric cars may not be the perfect solution for every transportation need, but by investing in a more sustainable manufacturing process for batteries EVs can become a greener option when they do make sense. Norway is one of the strongest use case regions for the technology with cheap renewable power, semi-remote transportation routes outside the cities, and a population with a high sense of responsibility for the environment. And Morrow Batteries is working to bring the benefits of battery electric transportation to more of Europe and do so sustainably. To talk about the development of green battery production in Europe, Frank Johnny Bråthen (Siemens Head of Digital Industries in Norway), Bernd Mangler (Vice President of Solutions at Siemens), Lars Christian Bacher (CEO Morrow Batteries), and Andreas Maier (COO Morrow Batteries) took some time on the stage at Hannover Fair 2024. What you’ll learn:[5:30] Norway’s path to sustainable battery leadership in Europe[9:53] How are companies meeting the KPIs for sustainability?[12:10] Achieving high production yields

    Powering Gigafactories: Siemens & Accenture’s role in cell manufacturing

    The story of battery manufacturing is one of scale. Researchers, manufacturers, and OEMs are working to make batteries lighter, make them in higher numbers, and make them across a wider region. Even the name of these factories alludes to the scale of operation and not just the production capacity of gigawatts. But the process of gaining scale from a laboratory breakthrough to a manufacturing juggernaut is the most important story of scale in the industry. For this episode of the battery podcast, Marc Deyda of Siemens Digital Industries talks with Philipp Wunderlich of Accenture about how companies are staying competitive as they develop more sustainable battery production processes and methodologies. What you’ll learn:[2:25] The challenges of setting up gigafactories[5:20] The role of strong partnerships[8:52] Enabling sustainable battery manufacturing

    Taking battery production glocal to meet net zero targets

    There is a really big shift in the battery industry to bring manufacturing closer to the centers of need and produce locally. But doing this still relies on existing global supply chains, hence the push for glocalization. Making a successful debut in this new mode of operation requires working with the right team and being able to work from great experiential knowledge. But the rewards for this work are worth it in becoming a more sustainable battery manufacturer. For episode 11 of the Battery Podcast we have a discussion of how one company managed this change to the industry – KORE Power – along with voices out of Siemens Financial Services and Siemens Smart Infrastructure. This episode is a little longer than usual, but it was just to great a conversation to leave anything out, so let’s dive into KORE Power’s journey in the US battery market. What you’ll learn:[2:55] What is KORE Power[10:45] The need for glocal manufacturing[14:40] The challenges to creating a strong ecosystem[20:10] Investing in something new

    Battery Ecosystem: Overcoming major obstacles to successful gigafactories

    Ecosystems are critical to every industry. While many established industries may only highlight the relationship between manufacturers and their suppliers, new or growing industries contain many more facets to success. For battery industry, this means research from universities, manufacturing practices from OEMs, optimized equipment from the machine builders, and partners like Siemens. Because of how rapidly the battery industry is growing, we wanted to highlight an amazing conversation with different industry voices for an episode of the Battery Podcast.Moderated by Chris Brow, you will hear from Sebastian Wolf (COO of PowerCo), Dr. Stephan Witt (COO of Jagenberg), Dr. Heiner Heimes (Member of Institute Management RWTH Aachen University), and Michael Thomas (Senior VP of Factory Automation at Siemens). We hope you enjoy this great stage presentation if you couldn’t attend in person.What you’ll learn:[2:55] The challenge of creating new regionalized capacity[9:25] What competition means in a new battery ecosystem[12:50] Proving sustainability in the battery ecosystem[19:50] Hopes for the next year in the battery ecosystem
