Euro Manganese (EMN) has become the first high-purity manganese company to join the Global Battery Alliance.
The Global Battery Alliance (GBA) is a partnership from across the battery value chain, academics, governments, and non-government organisations who collaborate to ensure battery production both supports green energy and safeguards human rights, while promoting environmental sustainability.
With its membership now secured, Euro Manganese said it intends to join discussions around battery materials transparency and traceability, particularly as the GBA advances the development of the Battery Passport.
The Battery Passport is a digital representation of an electric vehicle (EV) battery. Batteries which meet strict quality and sustainability standards will be awarded a quality seal, providing customers with assurance of responsible manufacturing processes.
Euro Manganese President and CEO Dr Matthew James said the company is pleased to join the GBA to work alongside peers in assisting the transition to a sustainable, low carbon economy.
“We share the GBA’s goals of circularity, environmental protection, and sustainable development – the Battery Passport will be a valuable resource to measure EV battery quality and improve overall industry sustainability performance,” Dr Matthew James said.
“Our Chvaletice Project in the Czech Republic is the only sizable manganese resource in Europe and will produce fully-traceable high-purity manganese products for the EV industry in an environmentally responsible manner.
“As a unique, waste-to-value recycling and remediation opportunity that involves reprocessing old tailings from a decommissioned mine, our project’s environmental credentials include a low carbon footprint and a net positive benefit from remediation of the historic tailings area.”
