TAIPEI, Jan. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- ProLogium, a global leader in next-generation lithium ceramic batteries, announced that its Gigafactory in Dunkirk, France, has successfully obtained a construction permit on December 16, 2024, and an environmental permit on December 18, 2024.
This milestone underscores ProLogium's commitment to clean energy, highlighting its execution capability and leadership in the industry. Despite challenges in the EV industry, ProLogium has stayed on course, advancing steadily and demonstrating its determination to deliver on its promises.
Since announcing its site selection in May 2023, the company has worked tirelessly, completing 13 public hearings in the first phase within six months under the oversight of local communities. In May 2024, the company submitted applications for construction and environmental permits, with public consultations concluding in October. Within seven months, both permits were successfully secured—an achievement made possible by the joint efforts of ProLogium's Taiwan and French teams and the strong support of the French government and stakeholders. ProLogium extends its heartfelt gratitude to all who have supported this endeavor.
The Dunkirk Gigafactory will be built in three phases, with construction set to begin in 2025 and mass production planned for 2027, reaching full capacity based on market demand. This project marks a pivotal step in ProLogium's global expansion and injects renewed confidence into the global green energy industry.
