Blue Solutions, established in 1997, is a specialized manufacturer of solid-state batteries with extensive experience in developing advanced energy storage solutions. The company has proven its technology through more than 600 million kilometers powered by its batteries in various global applications. As a subsidiary of the Bolloré Group, Blue Solutions has dedicated over 30 years to research and development in lithium metal and polymer electrolyte technology, making it an exclusive producer of solid-state batteries for more than 15 years.

Battery Technology

Blue Solutions’ primary innovation is its proprietary lithium metal polymer (LMP®) battery technology. These solid-state batteries differ from traditional lithium-ion batteries by utilizing a solid electrolyte instead of liquid components. This design choice offers multiple advantages, including enhanced safety through elimination of thermal runaway risks, improved energy density for extended range, and superior durability with over 3,500 charge/discharge cycles.

The company’s latest GEN4 battery technology represents significant progress in solid-state battery development. These batteries are specifically engineered for multiple applications, including transportation, aircraft, and consumer goods. The design eliminates the need for cobalt, nickel, or cadmium, making it an environmentally conscious choice. The manufacturing process emphasizes sustainability, with over 90% of lithium recovered from used batteries being reintegrated into production.

Recent Projects

In 2024, Blue Solutions announced a €2.2 billion investment plan to develop new-generation solid-state batteries, with plans to create 1,500 jobs by 2032. The company also formed a strategic partnership with Foxconn to develop solid-state battery solutions for electric two-wheelers, initially targeting the Indonesian market. Additionally, Blue Solutions has collaborated with CNRS, Collège de France, and Sorbonne University to advance solid-state battery research and development.

Investors

Blue Solutions operates as part of the Bolloré Group, its primary investor and parent company. In 2021, Total (now TotalEnergies) acquired a stake in the company, though specific details of this transaction remain private. The company maintains strong financial backing through these established industrial partnerships, enabling continued innovation and expansion in the battery sector.
