The new Advanced Materials Battery Industrialisation Centre (AMBIC) will provide innovation capability for the synthesis and processing of immediate and next generation battery materials. This will allow companies and researchers to scale their innovations from the laboratory to commercially relevant scale and enable ‘powder to cell’ support.
The facility will be delivered and operated by HVM Catapult member organisations the Centre for Process Innovation (CPI) and the Warwick Manufacturing Group (WMG), and will pool their respective expertise in in chemicals processing and cell development.
Thomas Bartlett, Deputy Director of FBC said: “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. Through the Faraday Battery Challenge’s £12m 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.”
The centre will be the latest addition to a burgeoning open-access UK battery development ecosystem which also includes the UK Battery Industrialisation Centre and it’s new Flexible Industrialisation Line.
