Studies carried out by MOL show that Hungary may have lithium-rich geothermal deposits, thus, in the future, it may be able to meet at least domestic demand and play a role in the production of quality raw materials suitable for battery production.
In March 2025, a major step of increased solidarity was the cooperation of eight mayors and cities against the – once already banished, but later returned - battery recycling plant (Andrada) in Sóskút.

Hungary has just switched on its largest battery energy storage system (BESS) to date, stepping up its role in Central Europe''s growing grid-scale energy transition.
The new facility supports a growing push to green Hungary’s power grid. Hungary has just switched on its largest battery energy storage system (BESS) to date, stepping up its role in Central Europe’s growing grid-scale energy transition.
Today, Samsung SDI and SKI Innovation operate several giant factories in Hungary, whose total production will potentially grow to 47.3 GWh by 2025 and up to 87.3 GWh by 2030. GS Yuasa also produces automotive lithium-ion starter batteries, while Inzi Control also manufactures battery modules.
Hungary isn’t alone in stocking up on battery backup as it charts its green energy path. In neighbouring Bulgaria, a massive 124 MW/496 MWh battery energy storage system went live in Lovech earlier this year.
Many of the significant suppliers of the battery industry in Hungary are located directly near the main car manufacturing plants. Since 2016, a total of HUF 1,903.8 billion (EUR 5.29 billion) and approximately 13,757 jobs have been created as a result of working capital investments in the battery industry.
Hungary is ideally located on the European battery map, thanks to its central geographical location, investments in cell and battery production facilities, the presence of large car manufacturers and its extensive supplier industry.
The current battery production facilities in Hungary, together with the growing number of end-of-life electric vehicles, offer good opportunities to develop innovative and sustainable recycling processes of the valuable battery materials. 6. Strengthening international co-operation
