Battery 2030+
The ambition of the Battery 2030+ is to make Europe a world-leader in the development and production of the batteries of the future. These batteries need to store more energy, have a longer life, and be safer and more environmentally friendly than today’s batteries in order to facilitate the transition to a more climate-neutral society. The project is led by Uppsala University, started on 1st of September 2020.
Horizon Europe, the European Union’s research programme, is set to provide up to €220 million funding for projects under Horizon Europe topics for the BATT4EU Partnership, an initiative for developing advanced green battery technology. Over €150 million funding has been awarded to cutting-edge projects which will be coordinated to collaborate by the Battery 2030+ initiative. The new projects are launched under the BATT4EU Partnership and are developed on the basis of the long- term Roadmap for battery research, published by Battery2030+.
Battery 2030+ is a pioneering European research initiative making strides to develop the batteries of the future. Their focus is on green, high- performing, and long-lasting batteries instrumental in the transition to a carbon-neutral society.
The First Phase:
In the first phase, six projects have been implemented between 2020-2023 and are now coming to an end. Moreover, another six new projects have just started with a funding of EUR 28 million. They focus on sensing and self-healing mechanisms for improved battery reliability and performance. Furthermore, they investigate the complex interfaces between the electrolyte and the electrodes (anode and cathode) in the battery.
New Projects:
Additional ten projects are set to start in the next year thanks to the funding of approximately EUR 60 million. In 2025, nine new projects are anticipated with a funding of EUR 60 million. Some of them will include more applied research areas like production and recycling, while others will be more data science driven. Three of the projects will focus on sensing and self-healing mechanisms for improved battery reliability and performance. Another three will investigate the complex interfaces between the electrolyte and the electrodes. The OPINCHARGE project led by LIST (Luxembourg Institute for Science and Technology) is one of the notable ones.
