What is the core objective of Eni and Seri Industrial's partnership in the Li-ion battery sector?

The core objective is to jointly develop an integrated industrial supply chain for lithium-ion phosphate batteries, including production of cells and modules, assembly of energy storage systems (BESS) for stationary applications and industrial/commercial electric mobility, and exploration of materials recycling, recovery, and active cathode material production.

Where are the key industrial sites for this battery project in Italy, and what are the planned milestones by 2027 and 2029?

The project will be developed between the Teverola production hub near Naples (where a Li-ion phosphate cell production plant is already operational) and the Brindisi site. By the first half of 2027, Eni Storage System SpA will complete an assembly line for utility-scale BESS at the Teverola-Brindisi hub; a second gigafactory producing over 8 GWh/year of cells and modules is scheduled to follow by 2029.
