EIT RawMaterials invests in E-magy to accelerate European silicon anode production
Broek op Langedijk, The Netherlands – 9 April 2026– The European Institute of Innovation & Technology (EIT) RawMaterials has made a strategic investment in E-magy B.V., a European developer and manufacturer of high-performance silicon anode materials, to support the scale-up of locally sourced and manufactured anode materials for next-generation batteries.
In the program, E-magy is scaling its industrial pilot plant to a capacity of 50 tons per year by 2028 (enabling 0.4 GWh of battery capacity), whilst preparing for full industrial production to deliver silicon anode material for more than 1 million electric vehicles per year.
The investment comes at a pivotal moment for the European battery industry, as demand grows for high-energy, fast-charging, and sustainable battery technologies alongside the continued expansion of gigafactory capacity across the continent.
E-magy’s proprietary nanoporous silicon anode technology enables increased energy density and improved charging performance, while being produced in the Netherlands to support shorter supply chains, lower emissions, and greater strategic autonomy.
E-magy CEO Casper Peeters, said:
With the support of EIT RawMaterials, we can further industrialise our nanoporous silicon anode technology and strengthen Europe’s battery materials supply chain.
”Producing advanced anode materials locally is essential for reducing emissions, improving supply security, and enabling the next generation of batteries,”
The investment will support E-magy’s continued scale-up and early market adoption in applications such as drones and consumer electronics, while laying the foundation for broader deployment across electric mobility and beyond.
