Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda
The vision
The vision of BATT4EU is to establish in Europe by 2030 world’s best innovation ecosystem to boost a competitive, sustainable and circular European battery value chain and to drive the transformation towards a carbon-neutral society. It will do so by preparing and equipping Europe to commercialise the next-generation battery technologies by 2030, which will enable the rollout of zero-emission mobility and renewable energy storage.
To achieve this objective and the goals set up by the European Commission, BATT4EU has developed a Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA). This strategic document is regularly updated within BEPA Technical Working Groups.
The current SRIA details six key R&I areas that need to be addressed in order to improve the competitiveness and sustainability of the European battery sector:
- R&I Area 1: Raw materials and Recycling
- R&I Area 2: Advanced materials and manufacturing
- R&I Area 3: Battery end-uses and applications
- R&I Area 4 – Cross-cutting: Safety
- R&I Area 5 – Cross-cutting: Sustainability
- R&I Area 6 – Cross-cutting: Coordination.
