Advanced Materials for Batteries for Electro-mobility and Stationary Energy Storage

Context

The future of the battery market is expected to reach a yearly level of €250 billion from 2025 onwards, offering the opportunity of creating 4-5 million jobs. Regional actors are willing to act together to combine their forces to create jobs. The AMBP Partnership aims to take stock of this opportunity and accelerate the volume manufacture and deployment of advanced materials and battery cells with a 2025 Horizon using sustainable and competitive technologies, for mobility and stationary uses. The partnership works toward the generation of a pipeline of business investment projects and build upon existing regional assets to leverage complementary assets across the Partnership. The ambition is to identify and address key missing elements in the regional ecosystem and the industrial value chain to reach out to the end user

Year established: 2018

Mission

The mission of the partnership is to develop joint R&D&I projects on topics of advanced materials, their characterisation, durability, suitable for extreme working conditions with the goal to deploy them in the field of batteries. Batteries are electro-chemical products with the final goal of enabling electro-mobility and enhancing the capacity and performance of stationary energy storage.

Objectives

The Advanced Materials for Batteries Partnership (AMBP) defines its key objectives in the following terms:

  • Advanced materials as one of Key Enabling Technologies identified as a priority for EU industrial policy;
  • Secure access to raw materials and support to battery manufacturing in order to strengthen industrial leadership through joint EU research and innovation support;
  • Bridging the gap between research and industry application in the field of advanced materials for batteries for electromobility and stationary energy storage; and
  • Through the joint innovation eco-systems, contributing to innovation results that enable reduced costs for advanced materials and hence increased development, deployment and adoption of clean energy and clean mobility technologies.

Related projects

Interreg SUDOE IMRPOVEMENT, this project was led by the Spanish National Center of Hydrogen. It includes the integration of combined cooling, heating and power of microgrids in zero-energy public buildings under high power quality and continuity of service requirements. Batteries is one of the elements that is tested.

Latest news and upcoming events

A combined event was organised in November 2022 between the TSSP on sustainable construction and advanced materials for batteries for electromobility and stationary energy storage. During the event, opportunities for partnerships and the new financial instruments were presented.

The partnership was invited to attend the 4th PRI Plenary Interregional Cooperation in December 2022 and the 5th PRI Plenary InterregionalCooperation in February 2023.

The partnership participated as part of the National and Regional Coordination Group in a meeting organised by Batteries Europe and BEPA in February 2023.
