Aunque la ceremonia acaba de anunciarse, trabajar en Schwarzheide<\/a> ya est\u00e1 en marcha desde hace varios meses y los trabajos preparatorios se llevan a cabo all\u00ed desde agosto. Ahora la construcci\u00f3n ha comenzado oficialmente y est\u00e1 previsto que la planta entre en funcionamiento en 2022. Seg\u00fan BASF, la nueva planta producir\u00e1 materiales de bater\u00edas para m\u00e1s de 400.000 veh\u00edculos el\u00e9ctricos al a\u00f1o. En Schwarzheide se procesar\u00e1n precursores procedentes de la planta de BASF en Harjavalta (Finlandia), anunciada anteriormente, con una \"tecnolog\u00eda de proceso l\u00edder en el mundo\".<\/p>\n La simb\u00f3lica ceremonia de colocaci\u00f3n de la primera piedra corri\u00f3 a cargo de J\u00fcrgen Fuchs, Director General de BASF Schwarzheide GmbH, solo ante una c\u00e1mara in situ, tal y como ser\u00e1n las cosas en 2020. Invitados como el ministro alem\u00e1n de Econom\u00eda, Peter Altmaier, el vicepresidente de la Comisi\u00f3n Europea, Maro\u0161 \u0160ef\u010dovi\u010d, el primer ministro de Brandenburgo, Dietmar Woidke, y Peter Schuhmacher, director de la divisi\u00f3n de Catalizadores de BASF, se conectaron por videoconferencia.<\/p>\n \"Apoyamos a nuestros clientes y queremos aprovechar la oportunidad de crecimiento en el mercado de la movilidad el\u00e9ctrica, en r\u00e1pido crecimiento, con nuestras inversiones en materiales para bater\u00edas en Europa\", declar\u00f3 Martin Bruderm\u00fcller, Presidente del Consejo de Administraci\u00f3n de BASF SE. \"La electromovilidad es una de las soluciones clave para aunar el deseo global de movilidad individual y la necesidad de reducir significativamente las emisiones locales. BASF est\u00e1 impulsando la electromovilidad sostenible con materiales de bater\u00edas innovadores y tecnolog\u00eda punta\". Sin embargo, Bruderm\u00fcller no particip\u00f3 realmente en el acto en s\u00ed, ya que \"no pudo asistir con poca antelaci\u00f3n\".<\/p>\n \"Nuestro objetivo es producir en Alemania y en Europa las bater\u00edas de mejor calidad y rendimiento del mundo. Por eso apoyamos la expansi\u00f3n de la fabricaci\u00f3n de bater\u00edas que utilizan los materiales m\u00e1s modernos y respetuosos con el medio ambiente\", declar\u00f3 el ministro alem\u00e1n de Econom\u00eda, Peter Altmaier, en el acto digital. \"En concreto, el Gobierno Federal y el Estado federado aportan aproximadamente 175 millones de euros al proyecto de BASF. Estoy encantado de que BASF pretenda establecer nuevos est\u00e1ndares en Schwarzheide y crear puestos de trabajo con visi\u00f3n de futuro que contribuyan al \u00e9xito del cambio estructural en la regi\u00f3n.\"<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" La empresa qu\u00edmica BASF ha concluido la ceremonia de colocaci\u00f3n de la primera piedra de la planta de materiales cat\u00f3dicos de Schwarzheide, en Brandeburgo.

The EU Commission had approved the funding in December 2019 as an important project of common European interest (IPCEI)<\/a> under the state aid rules.<\/p>\n For this reason, the Vice President of the European Commission, Maro\u0161 \u0160ef\u010dovi\u010d, also attended the event and emphasised the importance of establishing a competitive and sustainable value chain for the production of battery cells in Europe. “The battery value chain is of strategic importance for Europe\u2019s resilience, particularly with respect to clean, sustainable mobility,” said \u0160ef\u010dovi\u010d. “This is even more critical as we seek to jumpstart our economies while accelerating the green transition.”<\/p>\n Production in Lusatia is to take place “with a high proportion of renewable energy”. Together with efficient production processes and short transport routes, BASF wants to reduce the carbon footprint of its cathode arteries by 30 per cent compared with the “conventional industry standard”. Combined with a new recycling process, this figure is set to rise to 60 per cent in the future. A point that Altmaier also praised. “In the past, we used to build a product and later asked ourselves what we would do with it after it was used,” said the Economics Minister. “BASF is already thinking about recycling the products at a later date when it sets up production. These are innovations with which we can achieve the goal of climate neutrality”.<\/p>\n According to Catalysts Manager Schuhmacher, BASF is already thinking about further production lines. “Europe needs ten such plants by 2025 to achieve the Green Deal goals,” says Schuhmacher. There is room for further production lines in Finland as well as in Schwarzheide. However, no expansion has been specifically announced. “With the experience gained at both sites, we will be able to react more quickly in the future with regard to the period between the investment decision and commissioning,” says Schuhmacher in response to an inquiry from electrive. “We are already in talks with potential customers. However, we will only communicate concrete decisions when they are ready for decision”.<\/p>\n Update 30 June 2021<\/strong>:<\/p>\n BASF has now provided some details on the recycling pilot plant in Schwarzheide that was announced in December. The Group says that this will enable the development of operating procedures and technology optimisation to achieve higher recovery of lithium, nickel, cobalt and manganese from end-of-life lithium-ion batteries.<\/p>\n “By investing in battery recycling and our leading process technology for the production of cathode materials, we aim to close the loop while reducing the overall carbon footprint of our cathode materials by up to 60 per cent compared to the industry standard,” said Matthias Dohrn, Senior Vice President Precious and Base Metal Services in BASF’s Catalysts division. “This will enable us to meet the needs of our automotive OEM customers and helps ensure a more sustainable future for us all.”<\/p>\n In Schwarzheide, however, BASF does not only want to recycle end-of-life battery cells: The plant will also recycle metals from products made by cell manufacturers and battery material producers that do not meet product specifications. The investment, which BASF does not quantify more precisely, is expected to create about 35 new jobs in production, with commissioning planned for early 2023.<\/p>\n With reporting by Sebastian Schaal, Germany.<\/em><\/p>\n basf.com<\/a>, press release via email, <\/em>basf.com<\/a> (update)<\/p>\n"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/143752","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/22"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=143752"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/143752\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/143758"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=143752"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=143752"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=143752"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/media\/2020\/11\/basf-schwarzheide-baustelle.jpg\" "\\"\\"")
