Battery value chain

Energy storage technologies, such as lithium-ion batteries, will be key to the energy transition. Portugal and Galp may develop a local and integrated value chain, benefiting from the country's geographical location and its availability of renewable resources and lithium spodumene, as well as the company's experience and skilled labour.

In 2022, Galp and Northvolt set up the Aurora joint venture to develop one of Europe's largest lithium conversion plants in Portugal, in line with the European Union's ambitions to develop a sustainable battery value chain. The plant will be able to produce up to 35,000 tonnes of lithium hydroxide a year - enough for 50 GWh of batteries or 700,000 electric vehicles.

In addition to lithium processing, Galp is also evaluating the possibility of entering other stages of the battery value chain, such as battery recycling.

Corporate Venture Capital

Galp evaluates venture capital investment opportunities in the entrepreneurship and innovation ecosystem for the energy transition. As well as being financially attractive, venture capital investment exposes the company to new technologies, new opportunities, and new business models.

After investing in the platform Energy Impact Partners and the producer of advanced materials 6K, in 2023 Galp invested five million dollars in Verdagy to accelerate the development and commercialisation of an electrolyser module that is less dependant on raw materials than comparable technologies.
