Building Strategic Value Chains

Creating new markets in Europe and beyond

Unlike mature industries, rapidly developing clean tech industries require a holistic approach in order to succeed. Collaboration across the value chain – from upstream to downstream – is essential. InnoEnergy supports the development of 3 domestic value chains strategic to the energy transition: batteries, solar and low green hydrogen.

Strengthening Europe’s clean industrial strategy

With a mandate from the European Commission, InnoEnergy leads industrial alliances in batteries and solar,  building resilient and sustainable supply chains to reindustrialise Europe. To accelerate the uptake of low-carbon hydrogen projects, InnoEnergy leads its own initiative.

A value chain approach driving growth for our ventures and partners

1

Faster industrial growth

Connecting upstream and downstream stakeholders in new industries helps companies build strategic partnerships – often from InnoEnergy’s own ecosystem – to speed growth and boost resilience.

2

Identify market gaps for new industrial ventures

A value chain is as strong as its weakest link. InnoEnergy identifies inefficiencies that slow production or inflate costs, pinpointing opportunities to build high-impact industrial ventures where there is a market gap.

3

De-risk current and future investments

A deep understanding of new clean tech value chains offers valuable insights for current and future investment strategies to enable both upstream and downstream to continue developing at speed.

4

Ensure sustainable practices

From extraction to end-of-life recycling, integrating sustainability from the get-go for developing value chains builds competitive products for the global market.

Batteries are strategic but we still rely on batteries that are entirely or partly made abroad. We decided to join forces with Member States and the private sector. And so the EBA was born. Soon the most innovative batteries will be Made in Europe”

Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission

Leading industrial alliances

European Battery Alliance (EBA250)

Launched in 2017 by the European Commission, led by InnoEnergy. It brings together more than 800 industrial, financial and innovation actors from mining to recycling with the common objective to build a strong, competitive and resilient European battery industry. EBA works towards quadrupling the European battery cell capacity to between 400 and 500 GWh by 2030. This would meet the Net Zero Industry Act target of 40% domestic manufacturing capacity, thereby empowering the European car industry and other sectors in a more sustainable, competitive, and resilient manner.

European Solar PV Industry Alliance (ESIA)

The alliance aims to accelerate solar PV deployment in the EU by scaling-up to 30 GW of annual solar PV manufacturing capacity in Europe, facilitating investment, de-risking sector acceleration, to support Europe’s decarbonisation targets. Launched by the European Commission in 2022, EIT InnoEnergy is leading the alliance as Secretariat and joined by SolarPower Europe and the European Solar Manufacturing Council on the alliance’s steering committee.

The European Green Hydrogen Acceleration Centre

EGHAC focuses on building the business case for and accelerating the uptake of industrial low-carbon hydrogen projects for specific hard-to-abate sectors such as steel, fertilisers and aviation. Through EGHAC, InnoEnergy builds, derisks and scales new green industrial champions which are customer driven, commercially viable hydrogen projects which apply InnoEnergy’s value chain-driven methodology.
