Morrow Batteries is a Norwegian battery manufacturer focused on producing sustainable lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles and energy storage. Founded in 2020, Morrow leverages Norway’s renewable energy to create low-carbon LFP batteries, targeting a 50% lower carbon footprint than traditional batteries. The company is building a gigafactory in Arendal, Norway, with an initial capacity of 3 GWh, scalable to 43 GWh, to supply European automakers and ESS providers. Morrow’s batteries prioritize safety, cost-effectiveness, and recyclability, using LFP chemistry for long cycle life. Backed by strategic investors and partnerships, Morrow is also developing innovative cell designs through its R&D center. The company aims to establish a fully localized European supply chain, reducing reliance on Asian imports and supporting the region’s green transition.

Automotive Cells Company (ACC) is a European EV battery venture created by Stellantis, TotalEnergies/Saft, and Mercedes-Benz to drive Europe’s battery sovereignty. Founded in 2020, ACC is building cutting-edge gigafactories in France, Germany, and Italy to supply next-generation lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles. ACC leverages Saft’s deep battery expertise and the automotive know-how of its shareholders to develop high-performance NMC cells with a focus on cost, energy density, and sustainability. Headquartered in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France, ACC is rapidly scaling – its first plant in France (Douvrin) commenced production, with others to follow, targeting a combined capacity of 120 GWh by 2030. ACC emphasizes using renewable energy and recycled materials to minimize environmental impact. By uniting industry leaders, ACC aims to deliver reliable, world-class batteries to European automakers, accelerating the transition to cleaner mobility.

Solid Power is a leading developer of solid-state battery cells aimed at revolutionizing energy storage for electric vehicles. Originating from Colorado in 2012, Solid Power has created sulfide-based solid electrolyte technology that enables battery cells with higher energy density and improved safety compared to conventional liquid electrolyte lithium-ion cells. The company is known for its collaborations with major automakers Ford and BMW, delivering prototype all-solid-state cells for testing. Solid Power’s cells use high-capacity silicon or lithium metal anodes and nickel-rich cathodes to achieve greater energy content, all while eliminating flammable liquid components for enhanced safety. In 2022, Solid Power began pilot production of 20 Ah solid-state cells on a pre-pilot line and is working to scale up to automotive production volumes. The company has also licensed its cell design and manufacturing know-how to BMW for parallel development. As a publicly traded company, Solid Power has raised significant capital to build out its production capabilities. The technology, although still in development, promises to extend EV driving range and enable faster charging once fully matured. By mastering solid-state chemistry and manufacturing processes, Solid Power aims to be among the first to commercialize automotive-grade solid-state batteries, positioning itself at the forefront of next-generation EV power sources.
