At the same time, the Group is aiming to secure the supply of battery cells beyond 2025. Together with partners, we want to have a total of six cell factories up and running in Europe by 2030 thus guaranteeing security of supply. Volkswagen is also vigorously pursuing expansion of the public fast-charging network globally.

The Audi e-gas plant in the city of Werlte in Lower Saxony ( earlier post ) produces CO 2 neutral-fuel (synthetic methane from water, renewable electricity and CO 2 ); it now also contributes toward stabilizing the public power grid. This therefore considerably increases the overall efficiency of the Power-to-Gas/biogas plant.

And Germany isn’t the only country investing in hydrogen technologies. Experts call this Power-to-X (PtX). These applications tend to be strongly clustered in three broad sectors: transportation, heating, and industry, in such segments as manufacturing and processing. All are quite energy intensive.

However, the worldwide demand for energy is expected to increase by 20 percent in 10 years, with a large majority of that demand supplied by sustainable energy sources like wind power. These networks include cables that connect wind farms to the shore and supply electricity to our power grid infrastructure (Figure 3).
