04 October 2023 – Kaiserslautern

The German Federal Ministry for the Environment is funding a new plant of E-Lyte Innovations GmbH for the production of electrolyte solutions for innovative battery and other energy storage technologies. The project will enable significant chemical savings, lower waste volumes and a reduction in waste air containing (fluorine) hydrocarbons. The pilot project is being funded with almost 800,000 euros from the Federal Environment Ministry’s Environmental Innovation Program and will be implemented at the company’s headquarters in Kaiserslautern (Rhineland-Palatinate).

11 July 2023 – Kaiserslautern/Germany

Last week, the construction work for our outdoor tank farm started! Initially, there will be 4 x 100 m³  solvent tanks with 2 x 50 m³ chambers each! We transfer the solvents from the tanks directly and automatically controlled into our reactors!  And this is only a small part of our new and innovative production plant!

14 June 2023 – Kaiserlautern/Germany

Today, 2.4 tons of our high-quality electrolyte in 200 L barrels found their way to one of our European customers! And that was just the beginning! We are proud to be able to contribute an important part to the development of the European battery ecosystem with our electrolyte production!

!!!Exciting news!!! We are doubling our planned production capacity. Instead of the planned 4,000 tons per year, our new plant will be able to produce 8,000 tons per year! Construction is in full swing. Recently two 20m³ storage tanks for our electrolytes were delivered.

To meet the high demand for tailor-made electrolyte solutions, our production plant, which was already designed for scaling in the initial planning, is now being completed for a throughput of at least 8,000 tons of electrolyte solution per year. The plant is on track to start production in early 2024 and is expected to be expanded by 2026. Furthermore, what is special about our plant is that due to its unique flexible design and high degree of digitalization, the plant is not limited to specific electrolyte formulations! Part of our mission is to produce the perfect electrolyte for each energy storage system. We will remain true to this mission also with our large-scale production!

Since the beginning of this year, our pilot plant in Kaiserslautern, where high-quality electrolytes are produced in a unique process, has been running at full speed.

In an interview in “Wir.Hier – Die Chemieunternehmen in Rheinland-Pfalz” (Wir.Hier – Chemical Companies in Rhineland-Palatinate), our Managing Director Ralf Wagner, PhD, answers the question of how his early vision of founding a company made it possible for E-Lyte to grow from a small electrolyte manufacturer to an internationally competitive large-scale producer within a very short time.

Following the recent announcement of the commissioning of a pilot plant and the future establishment of large-scale production for high-performance electrolytes, E-Lyte Innovations GmbH (E-Lyte) and FUCHS LUBRICANTS GERMANY GmbH (FLG) are now taking the next joint step by also joining forces at the personnel level.

One ton of high performance electrolyte for batteries per day!

From mid-October, the first pilot line for the production of high-performance electrolytes will start in Germany! Due to the participation of the world-renowned producer of high-performance lubricants FUCHS LUBRICANTS GERMANY GmbH in E-Lyte, which was only completed in May, a state-of-the-art and flexible pilot plant can start operation at the company’s site in Kaiserslautern within a very short construction period.
