BatWoMan | Carbon Neutral European Battery Cell Production with Sustainable, Innovative Processes and 3D Electrode Design to Manufacture

Summary
BatWoMan develops new sustainable and cost-efficient Li-ion battery cell production concepts, paving the way towards carbon neutral cell production within the European Union. This is realized via the following technological efforts: 1) energy-efficient, no volatile organic compounds (VOCs) processed electrodes, with slurries of high dry mass content; 2) innovative dry room reducing concept with improved electrolyte filling; 3) low-cost and energy-efficient cell conditioning, namely wetting, formation and ageing.

The above stated technological improvements will be supported digitally via creating an AI-driven, innovative platform for smart re-tooling, constantly monitoring the sustainability and efficiency of the proposed individual production steps and developing a battery data space providing relevant cell background data.

This way, BatWoMan will lead to estimated cell production cost reduction of 63.5% and cell production energy consumption reduction by 52.6% and therefore enable a European leadership position in sustainable battery production.
