Make gigafactories more energy efficient and sustainable
Gigafactories are under increasing pressure to lower their environmental impact and reduce the cost of manufacturing battery cells. According to BloombergNEF report, more than half of the new passenger vehicles sold worldwide will be electric by 2035. The growing demand for Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) necessitates an increase in battery production, which requires battery manufacturers to improve production efficiency and decrease manufacturing costs.
The white paper, Hybrid Power Distribution in Gigafactory: A Powerful Shift for Sustainability and Energy Savings, explains some of the industry bottlenecks and describes hybrid architectures that could be used in gigafactories to facilitate improvements in sustainability efforts and reductions in manufacturing costs.
