Successful kick off meeting for the H2020 LOLABAT project
The Kick-off Meeting was held in the locals of In Extenso in Paris on the 19th of December 2021. Seventeen project partners from seven countries were reunited to share the project goals, expectations, and results to be achieved during the next three years.
Roles and responsibilities to be carried out were explained by Sunergy, project S&T coordinator, as well as the leaders of the different work packages.
The aim of the LOLABAT project, funded by the European Commission through the Horizon 2020 programme is to demonstrate a new promising Nickel Zinc battery that can complement Europe’s offer of energy storage technologies. Indeed, this technology offers advantages like like high cyclability with 2000 cycles already demonstrated at deep discharge and high C-rate, involving ability to high power, abundance and availability of raw materials, which are non-toxic elements with high recycling potential. Furthermore, it presents no risk of thermal runaway and therefore high safety. Regarding the global environmental issues and pressing energy transition needs, this energy storage technology is ideal for the next-generation battery for stationary energy storage.
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 963576. For more information, click here.
