Farasis Energy Europe GmbH

As a leading global producer of lithium-ion batteries, we have one goal: to shape the future of battery-based energy supply as a top tier technology partner for the electric vehicle, industrial machine fabrication, and energy storage sectors.  

We offer sustainable energy storage solutions that are researched, developed, manufactured, and trusted world-wide. As a driver in the field of battery technology, we think lithium-ion batteries further. We combine long range and fast charging with sustainable production, offer tailor-made cells and modules, responsible end of life management, and adjacent services along the entire value chain.

In short: we do everything to provide you with the best possible solution. Among our main strategic partners are major companies such as Daimler, Geely, and Togg.

Why Orange?

You wonder why you keep seeing the word ‘orange’ again and again? Here’s the (shortened) story behind ‘Battery Goes Orange’:

Yellow is the color of energy, which is the key to battery performance, and red is the color of passion, which is the key to our diligent and dedicated work on battery solutions. Orange is the vibrant, joyful combination of both. In terms of sustainability, we are green. But to us, sustainability is a prerequisite in contemporary battery production. Our commitment to the environment and sustainability has led us to the slogan „Battery goes orange“. Orange is the new green!

Pioneering Battery Recycling

In addition, Farasis has a proprietary direct recycling process for lithium-ion batteries. This process is the result of more than 10 years of pioneering research and development in the field of lithium-ion battery recycling. It reduces waste and conserves resources by recovering and reusing valuable lithium-ion battery materials, notably the cathode powder, from used batteries, and cell manufacturing scrap for new production – all whilst maintaining cell performance.

Our Direct Recycling process

Value retention

The cathode material is one of the most expensive components in cell production. We have found a way to directly recover the active cathode material powder without the need for re-synthesis, thus retaining the high value of the original cathode material. This results in both cost and energy savings. In addition, the inclusion of scrap material in cell manufacturing can increase the cathode powder utilization efficiency to over 99 percent.

Mining

The extraction of raw materials is an important factor that needs to be considered when talking about the ethical implications of vehicle batteries. We are a member of the RCI (Responsible Cobalt Initiative), which aims to advance compliance with ethical standards in cobalt mining, and we are committed to implementing the IRMA standard for lithium and cobalt mines.
