Philippe Hatron "We are proud to join partners across the European battery ecosystem in a joint letter sent to President of the Commission Ursula von der Leyen and Executive Vice-Presidents Stéphane Séjourné and Teresa Ribera in support of balanced, future-proof Local Content Requirements.
The letter is not only a call to action but also a contribution to the Commission based on our experience on how to implement Local Content Requirement to make a difference.
To strengthen Europe’s competitiveness in battery manufacturing, the Industrial Accelerator Act has to include Local Content Requirements that:
🤝 When defining 'local': Europe must boost the production of critical components at home (EU / EFTA). And the further upstream we go, the more the EU will rely on a robust and strategic minerals diplomacy.
⚙️ When defining 'content': start with a minimum number of critical components to be made locally and supplement it with a value-based threshold per component. Orano considers that it is essential to start with CAM, p-CAM and include recycling to build the future closed loop of strategic materials in Europe!
When accounting for recycled content: adapt current rules to ensure that only materials from local operations qualify.
The state of the European battery value chain requires urgent action. Carefully designed, Local Content Requirements must be part of the solution and can contribute to strengthening our industry and electrifying our mobility.
Let's build a battery value chain that is competitive, sustainable, and truly European."
