The Bühler Group, a pioneer in battery technology, announced that Britishvolt, which is constructing the UK's first battery gigafactory, has chosen Bühler's proven mixing technology for its battery manufacturing process. In line with Britishvolt's environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles and commitments, this technology will achieve a 95% reduction in waste and a 50% reduction in energy consumption. The joint project with Britishvolt clearly demonstrates Bühler's strategy to develop and scale sustainable solutions for its customers. The battery slurry plant, with an annual production capacity of 20 gigawatt-hours (GWh), will achieve energy savings equivalent to the annual energy consumption of approximately 1,000 single-family homes through reduced land use and process efficiency. As e-mobility becomes a global megatrend, Britishvolt, which has set clear global goals, is making significant investments in building new production capacity. The Bühler Group will support the industry with solutions that enhance battery performance while making battery production more efficient and sustainable.
