EVE Power’s Debrecen plant is being built according to schedule

As reported, EVE Power Hungary Kft., which is building a battery factory in Debrecen, signed a letter of intent with the Bay Zoltán Research Center, a member institution of HUN-REN (Hungarian Research Network), as part of the China-Hungary Innovation Day.

The company’s head of public relations, Ádám Kovács, told Médiacentrum Debrecen that the cooperation agreement with the Bay Zoltán Research Center will facilitate the industrial implementation of a Hungarian innovation in the battery industry.

“We are proud that EVE can join as a partner in the development of such an innovative solution, the essence of which is that the solvent called NMP is neutralized biologically, not with chemicals. This means a technological and sustainability advantage for us, while opening up new research and innovation opportunities. This partnership strengthens the position of Hungary and Debrecen in the international market of green and innovative battery technologies,” added the expert.

Ádám Kovács explained that the construction of their Debrecen plant is progressing according to preliminary schedules, and its completion is expected by 2027, and more than a thousand new high-value-added jobs will be created. He highlighted that EVE Power is a strategic supplier of the BMW Group, providing the latest sixth-generation, high-energy-density lithium-ion cells to BMW’s new Neue Klasse models. Their 28-megawatt-hour plant, based on the most modern technology, will be built in the neighborhood of the BMW factory on a 45-hectare area in the spirit of sustainability.

“The partnership operating on the ‘door-to-door’ principle minimizes the logistical distance and drastically reduces carbon dioxide emissions from the transport of goods,” emphasized Ádám Kovács.

The expert phrased that the most modern, closed-system battery cell production technology is used, which minimizes the environmental impact. The production process uses grey water, which is a mixture of purified wastewater and surface water. Thus, no groundwater will be used at all.

Eve Power has included greywater technology in its environmental usage permit from the very start.

“We are creating a closed air and material flow system that prevents any material from escaping into the environment. The plant’s energy needs are reduced by renewable energy sources. As a result, our Debrecen plant will be one of the most modern examples of sustainable industrial production in Europe,” concluded the company’s public relations manager.
