El consorcio TerraE, que hab\u00eda previsto crear una mega producci\u00f3n de c\u00e9lulas de bater\u00edas en Alemania, ha fracasado porque ninguna de las empresas implicadas estaba dispuesta a asumir la inversi\u00f3n, informan los medios alemanes. TerraE sigue as\u00ed a otros actores del pa\u00eds que siguen haciendo caso omiso del llamamiento del gobierno para que aporten su granito de arena.<\/p>\n
Aun as\u00ed, Peter Altmaier, Ministro Federal de Econom\u00eda, no se ha dado por vencido y ha anunciado la presentaci\u00f3n de un nuevo consorcio de producci\u00f3n de pilas el 13 de noviembre, seg\u00fan informa\u00a0Tagesspiegel<\/em> peri\u00f3dico. Se ha dicho que Varta Microbattery Systems y Ford forman parte del consorcio, pero a\u00fan no se ha confirmado.<\/p>\n Y hubo noticias a\u00fan m\u00e1s extra\u00f1as de que el ministro supuestamente hab\u00eda prometido a la compa\u00f1\u00eda el\u00e9ctrica RWE una considerable cantidad de dinero si constru\u00eda una f\u00e1brica de bater\u00edas y renunciaba por fin a la miner\u00eda del carb\u00f3n. Esto \u00faltimo ha sido el motivo de una disputa en curso entre activistas medioambientales y RWE por una zona boscosa llamada Hambacher Forst.<\/p>\n Pero volvamos a TerraE<\/a> - el conglomerado formado por 20 empresas, desde productoras a especialistas en qu\u00edmica, pasando por BMZ y StreetScooter, ha fracasado. Inicialmente planearon instalar una planta de bater\u00edas no muy diferente a la Gigafactor\u00eda de Tesla cuando se reunieron en mayo de 2017. La idea era aumentar la capacidad hasta alcanzar los 34 GWh en 2028. Sin embargo, el proyecto no se llev\u00f3 a cabo porque ninguna de las empresas quiso realizar la considerable inversi\u00f3n necesaria.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" El consorcio TerraE que hab\u00eda planeado establecer una mega producci\u00f3n de c\u00e9lulas de bater\u00eda en Alemania ha fracasado ya que ninguna de las empresas implicadas estaba dispuesta a<\/p>","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":84749,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9927],"tags":[10230,10914,2098,9961,5066,16137,354,1224,450,494,8676,515,936],"class_list":["post-100982","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-battery-fuel-cell","tag-batteries","tag-battery-production","tag-bmz","tag-germany","tag-litarion","tag-mw","tag-manz","tag-peter-altmaier","tag-rwe","tag-streetscooter","tag-terrae","tag-thyssenkrupp","tag-varta"],"acf":{"inhalt_teil2":" In this they are not unlike the rest of the (German) industry reportedly<\/a>. Bosch had estimated it would require 20 billion euros to set up a meaningful factory and still it would be uncertain if it would be enough to compete with established suppliers in Asia (we reported<\/a>).<\/p>\n The German government however, has moved having cell production facilities in the country up the agenda regardlessly. Only last month, Minister Altmaier proposed<\/a> the construction of two large-scale factories, funded with a billion euro each. His call echoes the European Commission that has started to shape a European Battery Alliance (EBA<\/a>) not unlike Airbus earlier this year.<\/p>\n While the EC is vaguely calling for a “green battery” that adheres to EU standards in order to set it apart from Asian competitors, the industry is pointing to a technological solution, namely solid-state batteries. The German government has reserved funding for this as well. 16 million euros are to form a new research cluster reportedly<\/a>.<\/p>\n Yet, if Germany will ever become big in batteries is uncertain. On the European level, players such as\u00a0Northvolt<\/a>\u00a0of Sweden or Saft of France, that set up a cooperation with Siemens, Manz and Solvay are moving ahead and want to develop (solid-state) batteries with EU funding (we\u00a0reported<\/a>). Moreover, it is the big companies from China and Korea such as CATL<\/a> and SK Innovation<\/a> that are installing local battery cell production on the continent, for now.<\/p>\n
