In Europe, only the Swedish battery cell manufacturer Northvolt has announced its entry into the sodium-ion battery business.
The sodium-ion battery factory is expected to have an annual capacity of five gigawatt-hours. In the first phase, a capacity of 0.7 gigawatt-hours is targeted by the end of 2025. The plant will be built in Hauts-de-France and is expected to create more than 1,000 jobs.
In China, the big players are increasingly turning to sodium-ion batteries: BYD and Huaihai recently signed a contract to build a plant for sodium-ion batteries in China with an annual capacity of 30 GWh. CATL is also planning to produce sodium-ion cells. The Chinese startup Zoolnasm is also planning to do so from 2024.
Sodium-ion batteries offer a promising solution due to their cost-effectiveness, sustainability, and lower environmental impact. However, to rival lithium-based technologies, significant advancements are required in performance, safety, and scalability.
However, Tiamat is the only player in this list that favours sodium-ion batteries. These are a technology that has re-emerged in recent years and would bring a clear cost reduction in the electric car sector. After all, the low-cost sodium replaces lithium, which has now become very expensive.
