Executive Summary The ALBATTS project aims to bring the demand and supply side of skills and competencies together to establish a blueprint for the preparedness of future skills across Europe. This desk research contributes to the ALBATTS project's goals by analysing what a large-scale battery manufacturing plant or a so-called Gigafactory consists of in terms of departments and teams. Who works there, and what kind of skills, competencies, and education do they have. Drivers Affecting Battery Manufacturing chapter addresses the factors that will affect the environment in which battery manufacturer’s function. For example, the climate goals, regulations, and environmental challenges are boosting the need for batteries, but at the same time, reducing CO2 emission from the battery manufacturing itself means that the manufacturers need to address sustainability themselves. Globalisation brings such addressable elements as access to raw materials, global regulatory dialogue and restructuring to facilitate the intermittent renewable energy sources. With new technologies, cybersecurity, global technical harmonisation, standardisations, and smart grid will require further development. We also look into the EU framework and EU’s commitment to becoming the first climate- neutral continent globally that translated into the European Green Deal. Finally, we go through the main EU strategies, initiatives, and projects relevant to battery manufacturing, such as New Industrial Strategy for Europe, European Raw Materials Alliance, Horizon Europe, European Battery Alliance, and European Skills Agenda. The Battery Passport is an essential part of the new Batteries Directive proposal to ensure the sustainability and competitiveness of the EU battery value chain. We analyse the background and the implications of the passport to the battery value chain. In the Stakeholders chapter, we investigate the business environment in which battery manufacturers operate. Who manufacture batteries and the emergence of Gigafactories in Europe? In addition to the Gigafactory level manufacturers, we also examine smaller niche manufactures that are researching alternative and new technologies. We also study the global business environment to understand where Europe stands vs the rest of the world in terms of battery manufacturing. One outcome of this analysis is that Europe should focus more on niche markets, present new technologies and develop green batteries.
