The path to this legislation has spanned three years, witnessing Asian battery companies transition from initial apprehensions to active participation, and ultimately, acceptance of the impending paradigm shift. Upon the new battery law's enforcement, Asian battery producers exporting to Europe will confront three primary challenges:
The resurgence of interest in aluminum-based batteries can be attributed to three primary factors. Firstly, the material's inert nature and ease of handling in everyday environmental conditions promise to enhance the safety profile of these batteries.
This strategic move is tailored to ensure seamless battery trade relations between China and the EU. It's pivotal to note China's overwhelming presence in the battery production landscape, holding a staggering 77% of the global market share.
Further exploration and innovation in this field are essential to broaden the range of suitable materials and unlock the full potential of aqueous aluminum-ion batteries for practical applications in energy storage. 4.
China's robust growth in power battery exports has elevated them to the status of one of the "new three items" in the country's exports, alongside electric passenger vehicles and solar batteries. The EU's Regulation is poised to exert significant influence on Chinese battery manufacturers, effectively compelling them to conform to standards.
