The Batteries European Partnership’s ambition is to establish by 2030 a world-class innovation ecosystem to boost a competitive, sustainable and circular European battery value chain, driving the transformation towards a carbon-neutral society.

As a co-programmed partnership, BATT4EU brings together the public sector (the European Commission) and the private sector (the European battery R&I stakeholders, BEPA) with the aim to achieve a competitive and sustainable European industrial value-chain for e-mobility and stationary applications.

BEPA already gathers a total of 137 members of which 54 are industrial players, 56 research organisations, 27 associations, and others.

Aside from some general objectives, the Batteries Partnership (BATT4EU) has various measurable, operational objectives:

Operational objectives:

  • Increase battery energy density (+60% compared to 2019 values)
  • Increase battery power density and charging rate
  • Improve cycle lifetime (at least by a factor of 2 compared to 2019 state-of-the-art values)
  • Reduce battery cost (-60% compared to 2019 values)
  • Ensure battery safety in the different targeted application sectors
  • Implement worldwide best available technologies in manufacturing and recycling operations
  • Enhance the sustainability of the main supply chains of battery raw materials and achieve the lowest possible carbon footprint of the supply chain from raw materials extraction through battery manufacturing, use and recycling

Key documents

 

What are partnerships?

Partnerships group the EC and private and/or public partners, to coordinate and streamline the research & innovation initiatives and funding in some selected key domains.

More detailed info Overview of partnerships

How to use partnerships?

  • orientation
    Partnerships publish strategic documents, e.g. outlining the main research and innovation challenges or key focus points.
  • networking
    Partnerships often organise events, such as info days, brokerage events, etc. Meet potential partners and learn about the nuances that are not visible in the official documents.
  • ecosystem analysis
    Partnerships typically have an advisory board, and publish impact studies of previous actions. These are good sources of information to uncover the main R&D&I players in the domain.
  • steering the agenda
    Partnerships collaborate with the EC on outlining the strategy and the future funding opportunities in their domain, based on input from industry, academia, and other stakeholders.

CLARION: Port of Antwerp-Bruges participates in research contributing to shaping a sustainable future for the maritime sector

Funded under Horizon Europe (HORIZON-CL5-2023-D6-01-09), running from 2024 to 2028, CLARION (Building Climate-Resilient Ports for the Future) aims to contribute to shaping a sustainable future for the maritime sector by developing and implementing innovative climate adaptation solutions. Port of Antwerp-Bruges is one of the leading European ports involved in the project. Together with two other Flemish project partners, Brabo Group and the Antwerp Maritime Academy, Port of Antwerp-Bruges is developing demo cases that tackle real-life operational and training challenges posed by climate risks.
