Will a lithium battery factory be built in Portugal?
According to the latest report on February 21st, battery manufacturer CALB will invest 2 billion euros (approximately Yuan 15.1684 billion) in Sines, Portugal to build a lithium battery factory aimed at providing high-performance energy storage batteries for the European electric vehicle industry.
Why should Portugal invest in a battery factory?
“Our factory will not only create new jobs but will also place Portugal at the forefront of the production of batteries for electric vehicles in Europe,” he highlights. According to CALB, “this strategic investment” aims to “reinforce its presence in the European market for electric vehicles (EV) and energy storage systems (BESS)”.
Can Portugal build a fully integrated lithium supply chain?
Alongside Spain, Portugal is leveraging its abundant lithium deposits to build a fully integrated supply chain, covering: Strengthening Europe’s battery ecosystem by reducing reliance on Chinese manufacturers will enhance supply chain security and create a more resilient local production network for lithium-ion batteries.
Why is CALB establishing a manufacturing base in Portugal?
By establishing a manufacturing base in Portugal, CALB aims to enhance market reach, overcome trade barriers, and improve supply chain efficiency, all while aligning with EU sustainability goals and strengthening its competitive position in the evolving global battery industry.
Will Sines contribute to the future of green energy in Portugal?
For the president of the Board of Directors of CALB, Liu Jingyu, quoted in the statement, the project planned for Sines will contribute “to the future of green energy in Portugal” and will support “the transition of the European automotive sector to electric vehicles”
Is Europe ready for energy storage?
Europe is expected to deploy over 90 GWh of utility-scale battery energy storage projects by 2030, and we are well positioned to support this demand along with the wider EMEA region’s rapid energy storage growth,” said Powin CEO, Jeff Waters.

Energy Storage Product Implementation Standards
The U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability Energy Storage Systems Program, with the support of Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) and Sandia National Laboratories (SNL), and in collaboration with a number of stakeholders, developed a protocol (i.e., pre-standard) for measuring and expressing the performance characteristics for energy storage systems. [pdf]FAQS about Energy Storage Product Implementation Standards
Does industry need standards for energy storage?
As cited in the DOE OE ES Program Plan, “Industry requires specifications of standards for characterizing the performance of energy storage under grid conditions and for modeling behavior. Discussions with industry pro-fessionals indicate a significant need for standards” [1, p. 30].
What safety standards affect the design and installation of ESS?
As shown in Fig. 3, many safety C&S affect the design and installation of ESS. One of the key product standards that covers the full system is the UL9540 Standard for Safety: Energy Storage Systems and Equipment . Here, we discuss this standard in detail; some of the remaining challenges are discussed in the next section.
Should energy storage safety test information be disseminated?
Another long-term benefit of disseminating safety test information could be baselining minimum safety metrics related to gas evolution and related risk limits for crea-tion of a pass/fail criteria for energy storage safety test-ing and certification processes, including UL 9540A.
Does energy storage need C&S?
Energy storage has made massive gains in adoption in the United States and globally, exceeding a gigawatt of battery-based ESSs added over the last decade. While a lack of C&S for energy storage remains a barrier to even higher adoption, advances have been made and efforts continue to fill remain-ing gaps in codes and standards.
Can the energy storage industry access critical tools for 100 mw projects?
The DOE sponsored an effort to gather input from traditional risk products and finance providers serving more established technologies (e.g., wind, gas generation) to identify how the energy storage industry can access critical tools needed for 100 MW or larger scale projects. The resulting report, published in 2019, is a best
How can energy storage C&S help the development of ESS projects?
The resulting report, published in 2019, is a best 311] on how energy storage C&S can help facilitate the use of risk and financial tools needed for the development of larg-er ESS projects. Another financial example comes from the experiences of solar photovoltaic (PV) installation.
