The UK Battery Industrialisation Centre (UKBIC), the UK''s national battery manufacturing scale-up facility, has secured £36 million in funding for the facility''s new Flexible Industrialisation Line (FIL.)
Harnessing power has been at the core of the UK’s industrial success since the Industrial Revolution. Today, the UK is in a global battery race with competitor countries that want to develop their industrial capabilities in the battery sector. China is dominating the race, while the UK lags far behind many of its competitors.
These gaps reflect limits in the scope and scale of the UK government's efforts to act as an ‘entrepreneurial state’ with regard to lithium-ion batteries, particularly in the context of growing competition from Europe and the US in the wake of the US Inflation Reduction Act.
As demand for electrical energy storage scales, production networks for lithium-ion battery manufacturing are being re-worked organisationally and geographically. The UK - like the US and EU - is seeking to onshore lithium-ion battery production and build a national battery supply chain.
Demand for EV battery manufacturing capacity in the UK is expected to be around 100 GWh per annum in 2030 29 (and nearly 200 GWh in 2040) with four-fifths arising from the manufacture of cars and light commercial vehicles (Faraday 2022a; BEIS 2023).
