BATTERY 2030+ starts Next Phase towards a Green Society

Graphical illustration chemistry-neutral approach Battery 2030+ - The European research initiative on Future Battery Technologies, BATTERY 2030+, starts the next phase to develop high-performance batteries for a climate-neutral society. The consortium, consisting of Helmholtz Institute Münster (HI MS) of Forschungszentrum Jülich, MEET Battery Research Center at the University of Münster and other partner research institutions, will coordinate and monitor the specifically determined research activities contributing to the large-scale project now. Four strategic objectives were designed for the second phase of BATTERY 2030+. "In the first phase of BATTERY 2030+ a roadmap to develop the next generation of batteries was successfully designed", says Prof. Martin Winter, scientific leader of HI MS and HI MS explains: "By suggesting European curricula, in electrolyte research for example, we want to contribute to competence building in the battery community." Her colleague Dr. Richard Schmuch from MEET adds: "Communication, dialogue and cooperation on cross-cutting topics between the different actors of the battery value chain are key factors to a successful project." - The strategy of the next phase of BATTERY 2030+ is based on four objectives. Implement and monitor research activities - In collaboration, the partner institutes identify and define Key Performance Indicators (KPI) to monitor the results of the research projects contributing to the BATTERY 2030+ initiative.
