ENERGY
July 2022 – June 2026
The PSIONIC project advances the development of all-solid-state battery technology by employing amorphous cross-linked Polyethylene oxide (PEO) laminated on the thin lithium foil at the anode and high voltage cathode coated with a single-ion conductive polymer. This will allow to replace the flammable and unstable (…)
September 2022 – August 2026
The SOLiD project will create a sustainable and cost-efficient pilot scale manufacturing process for a high energy density, safe and easily recyclable solid-state Li-metal battery. We will use roll-to-roll (R2R) dry extrusion coating for the blend of cathode active material, solid polymer electrolyte, and conducting (…)
January 2025 – December 2027
The HyLiST project aims to transform the European battery manufacturing sector by developing next-generation, cobalt-free Solid State Batteries (SSBs) that are cleaner, safer, more efficient, and environmentally sustainable. Over 36 months, the project will focus on creating (…)
December 2024 – November 2028
The SOLIDBAT project aims to develop an advanced solid-state battery with high energy density (>400 Wh/kg), fast charging, long cycle life, and enhanced safety while minimizing environmental impact and production costs. It will feature a high-capacity NMC811 cathode, a 3D-structured lithium metal anode(…)
ENVIRONMENT
December 2022 – June 2026
The general objective of Bio-Uptake project is to ensure a sustainable uptake (increase the use in a 39%) of bioplastic composites through boosting a twin green and digital transformation in the European manufacturing industry. In particular, Bio-Uptake solution will focus (…)
January 2023 – June 2026
REFORM sets out to address the environmental and sustainability challenges around conventional surface mounted and embedded functional electronics. The project aims to accelerate and guide the development of a new European green functional electronics supply chain. (…)
September 2023 – March 2027
CUBIC presents an innovative solution to improve the sustainability and circularity of complex products made of high-tech advanced multi–material composite structures, by developing novel biomaterials. These novel biomaterials are thought to be manufactured (…)
June 2024 – June 2028
The BioPhenom project will exploit biophenols isolated from industrial biomass sidestreams to replace substances of very high concern (SVHC) commonly used in wood, thermoset, and thermoplastic materials, and will also demonstrate their recyclability, thus enhancing their safe, (…)
April 2024 – September 2027
The BLADE2CIRC project aims to revolutionize the design of wind turbine blades (WTBs) by developing a more sustainable, circular approach. The initiative focuses on replacing traditional materials with high-performance, bio-based composites that not only enhance blade (…)
