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

How Catena X empowers SMEs globally with Siemens and Audi
The complexity and globalization of automotive development brings challenges to businesses of all sizes. But for Small to medium sized enterprises, the impact can be much more acute as they do not necessarily have the established structures to best work within the established industry processes. And this story is incredibly important for the battery industry as it works to become more competitive in the realm of transportation. To talk about how businesses around the world are overcoming this challenge with digitalization and strong partnerships, Claus Cremers of Siemens AG and Frank Göller of Audi AG discuss to growing role of Catena X as an industry group for the automotive industry. What you’ll learn:[2:00] What challenges are companies working to overcome by working with Catena X[7:10] The role of the ecosystem in automotive[12:40] The ecosystem goes beyond the enterprise with the Battery Passport

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

The future of batteries in Europe
Batteries are playing a role in electrification around the world and manufacturing is growing to meet that demand, both quantitatively and regionally. Manufacturers and innovators like Skeleton Technologies are working to create industry knowledge outside of the traditional centers for battery manufacturing. Digital tools and integrated processes are part of the solution.In this episode of the Battery Podcast, Marc Deyda sits down with Taavi Madiberk, the CEO and Co-Founder at Skeleton Technologies to talk about battery manufacturing in Europe. They walk through the challenges and successes of growing from a small research lab to what Skeleton Technologies is doing today.What you'll learn:[1:37] Why manufacture batteries in Central Europe?[5:03] Making a niche in a growing industry[9:13] The role of IoT in successful battery manufacturing[18:30] Hardware and software are inseparable
