ROADMAP ON  NEW AND EMERGING  TECHNOLOGIES : Batteries Eruope

This roadmap describes a long-term vision of the expected emerging and new battery technologies reaching as far as 2050.The roadmap focuses on:• Developing new battery chemistries and battery concepts (see Figure below) for a diverse range of present • and future applications (Topic 1); Accelerating battery development and concept through the realization of new tools in the new area of digitalization (Topic 2).Today, Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are a key enabler for decarbonisation of world economy. At the same time, the energy transition will create new opportunities for a variety of different battery technologies to match safety, sustainability, circularity, cycle lifetime, performance, and cost requirements.In order to reach these goals, it is recommended to:1. Foster a pan European collaboration to accelerate the next battery chemistries by establishing infrastructure for enhanced cooperation.2. Setup training programmes to help industry in their conversion to novel techniques and emerging technologies.3. Stimulate long-term research to fully exploit new battery chemistries and enable ground-breaking discoveries.4. Research networks to inspire and attract young bright minds and foster education at all levels.5. Facilitate access to key infrastructures and small pre-pilot lines on an European level to accelerate development of new battery technologies.6. Encourage with incentives industry to engage in early-stage research in order to promote technology transfer.7. Specific resources to monitor the achievement of KPIs for new and emerging battery technologies, including actions toward:• Identifying new chemistries for • existing and new applications; Promote among scientists and • facilitate patenting; Identifying technologies ready for industrial development.8. Encourage Member States to support basic research favouring international collaboration.This roadmap is intended to provide guidance and suggestions on the next generation 1 cell technologies beyond the generation 3 and 4 of the SET-Plan[1]
