GIGAGREEN Project
The context
Batteries are a strategic issue for the European Union's energy transition, and the EU has set itself the goal of becoming a world leader in the market, encouraging the sector to develop cutting-edge, competitive technologies while ensuring sustainable and resilient production.
The concept
GIGAGREEN aims to develop the next generation of lithium ion battery electrodes and cells, by proposing technological innovations in design, materials and manufacturing processes that will improve the environmental and economic performance of the industrial production of these components, thereby positioning Europe at a global leader:
GIGAGREEN will pursue three main goals :
- shift from high environmental impact solvants such as N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) to alternate materials
- develop new manufacturing processes enabling scale-up to an industrial level
- deploy an optimisation strategy based on "Design to Manufacture" approach
Our role
ALPhANOV's mission is to develop an innovative laser-based electrode processing to improve the performance of batteries and the environmental impact of their production.
