Collaboration agreements on advanced innovation in the European market

On this occasion the foundation will offer its support to promote a pioneering advanced research project on solutions and improvement methodologies in a circular economy environment for the aluminum battery industry, contributing to transcend Europe’s dependence on critical raw materials.

The role of the Foundation in this project will be mainly to disseminate the development, progress and results of the project and to support the techno-economic, environmental, social and safety assessment and evaluation of the project.

This project aims to move away from dependence on lithium-ion batteries, paving the way for safer, more sustainable, and cost-effective energy storage in favor of the sustainable, green and low-cost production of emerging energy storage technologies, a vitally important objective to enable the energy transition in stationary applications in order to minimise environmental impact.

The use of recycled aluminum can bring significant CO2 saving benefits, making this type of battery technology a viable alternative for battery production in the EU.
