Awarded via the Faraday Battery Challenge, the funding will support the High Value Manufacturing Catapult at Warwick Manufacturing Group<\/a> (WMG) and CPI at the North East Technology Park (NETPark) in advancing UK supply chains of EV battery materials<\/a>.<\/p>\n The funding will see the development of the new Advanced Materials Battery Industrialisation Centre (AMBIC), which aims to bridge the gap between academic research and battery production.<\/p>\n Thomas Bartlett, Challenge Deputy Director for the Faraday Battery Challenge, explained: “AMBIC will bring together two emerging regions of battery innovation and manufacturing, the North-East and Midlands, under one facility to de-risk and accelerate battery materials scale-up in the UK.<\/p>\n “Through the Faraday Battery Challenge’s \u00a312m investment in the High Value Manufacturing Catapult, we will establish a truly world-class facility to support the growth of a battery materials supply chain.<\/p>\n “With AMBIC and previous investments in cell, module and pack scale-up at UKBIC and R&D in the wider ecosystem, the UK will now be in a position to support businesses from ‘powder to pack’ and from lab to commercial scales.”<\/p>\nReducing the costs of EVs<\/h3>\n
