ProLogium, known for its innovation in next-generation lithium ceramic batteries, has achieved significant milestones in its expansion efforts by securing both a construction permit and an environmental permit for its gigafactory located in Dunkirk, France. This development is a testament to ProLogium's dedication to clean energy and its ability to navigate the complexities of the electric vehicle industry. The achievement also demonstrates the company's commitment to its expansion plans and its capability to meet its goals, despite the challenges faced in the industry.
The construction of the Dunkirk Gigafactory is planned to proceed in three phases, with the commencement of construction slated for 2025 and mass production expected to begin in 2027. The factory's output will be adjusted in response to market demand, indicating a flexible approach to production.
The process leading to the acquisition of these permits involved extensive planning and community engagement, including the completion of 13 public hearings within six months from the announcement of the site selection in May 2023. The applications for the necessary permits were submitted in May 2024, with public consultations wrapping up in October 2024.
The successful securing of the permits within seven months of application highlights the effective collaboration between ProLogium's teams in Taiwan and France, along with considerable support from the French government and local stakeholders. The company has expressed appreciation for the support received throughout this process.
This project not only signifies a crucial phase in ProLogium's strategy for global expansion but also underscores the growing momentum within the green energy sector globally. ProLogium's successful steps forward in this venture showcase the company's resilience and forward-thinking approach in the face of industry challenges. Further updates on the project and related developments are anticipated as the company progresses with its plans.
