Sodium-ion Market Updates From the EU & UK
Sodium-ion battery development in Europe is gaining momentum, driven by government support, private investment, and industry partnerships. The EU Green Deal and Sodium-Ion-Battery Deutschland-Forschung are promoting local manufacturing, while Tiamat (5 GWh by 2031) and Altris (1 GWh enabled by its Ferrum facility) are scaling production. Clarios and Altris aim to commercialize low-voltage Na-ion batteries by 2026, while IBU-Tec leads in sodium manganese oxide cathode production for EVs and storage. Northvolt's Chapter 11 filing (Nov 2024) casts uncertainty on its Na-ion plans, though R&D continues. In India, Reliance New Energy Solar (RNES) shifted from a 5 GWh Na-ion plant for Faradion to a 30 GWh battery facility launching in late 2025. Meanwhile, LionVolt's acquisition of AMTE Power raises questions about AMTE's sodium-ion portfolio. Despite industry challenges, Europe remains a key player in Na-ion commercialization.
