Introduction to the strategic agreement
Eni, the well-known Italian energy group, recently announced an important collaboration with SERI Industrial, a company specialized in the energy storage sector. This agreement aims to develop the industrial supply chain of electrochemical lithium-iron-phosphate batteries, a significant step for the renewable energy and electric mobility sector. The partnership aims to explore the creation of a joint venture, focused on the production of batteries for storage applications (ESS) and for industrial and commercial electric vehicles

Details of the production facility
The project involves the construction of a plant for the production of stationary electricity accumulators at the Eni site in Brindisi. This plant will not only be responsible for the production of active matter, but will also include a unit dedicated to battery recycling. This initiative will be accompanied by another plant under construction by FIB, controlled by SERI Industrial, in the province of Caserta. The integration of research and development, procurement and marketing activities between the two plants represents a crucial step in optimizing resources and improving production efficiency

Impact on the battery market
This agreement not only represents an opportunity for Eni and SERI Industrial, but it also has the potential to positively influence the battery market in Italy and Europe. As demand for energy storage solutions and electric vehicles increases, the local production of lithium-iron-phosphate batteries could help reduce dependence on imports and promote technological innovation in the sector. In addition, the sustainability of the production process and the recycling of batteries are fundamental aspects that could position Italy as a leader in the renewable energy sector
