Projects in batteries

In the previous project, we developed and demonstrated a modular battery replacement system for electric-powered agricultural and forestry machinery. In this project, we want to build on the results to take the ecosystem around the battery replacement system step by step towards the market.

Through vehicle-to-grid (V2G), electric vehicles can help balance the power grid, but realizing this potential requires an understanding of drivers’ willingness and ability to make their batteries available. In this project, we use measured real world driving patterns to study individual drivers’ o…

The FreeLIB (Fluorine-free Lithium-ion Batteries) project explores how PFAS and other hazardous fluorinated compounds form and are released during lithium-ion battery recycling and investigates methods to effectively reduce these emissions.

Battery housings for heavy trucks face a complex and challenging set of requirements. They must be circular in terms of servicing, upgradability, and material recycling. At the same time, they need to be weatherproof and capable of withstanding mechanical loads. Also, they must be resource-efficien…

The project's goal is to develop, evaluate and compare solutions for joining, disassembly and reassembling joints in battery packs to enable circularity. The project is a collaboration between RISE, Volvo Cars, Polestar, Stena Recycling, Atlas Copco, ABB, Swerim and University West.

Sweden's electric car fleet, largely owned by single-family households, has potential to contribute to stabilising the electricity grid through frequency regulation. This project explores driving forces and conditions for single-family households to participate in frequency regulation through V2G a…

Next generation technologies for battery systems in transport electrification based on novel design approach to increase performance and reduce carbon footprint.

RISE coordinates the project SOURCE which is a European funded initiative bringing together key industry partners to create sustainable solutions for producing battery-grade synthetic graphite.

The EU just passed a new law on more sustainable and circular batteries to support the EU’s energy transition. It is vital that biobased feedstocks be identified and tested for their potential to contribute to battery materials. Spent coffee grounds are an abundant (over 18 million tons per year) s…

Making batteries to store clean energy is a dirty process - or was – with NoVOCs unique approach. A consortium of 17 partners will develop manufacturing technology for next-generation lithium-ion batteries, that can eliminate the volatile organic compounds from the lithium-ion b…

Can a battery storage system, intended for the system service market, be used to power parts of critical infrastructure in an island operation mode? How can renewable electricity production extend resilience? This project will analyze stationary battery storage as a potential emergency preparedness…

Physics and data-based battery management by multi-domain digital twins (BATMAX) sets out to pave the way for advanced next-generation data-based and adaptable battery management systems capable of fulfilling the needs and requirements of various mobile and stationary applications and use cases.

Lithium-ion battery cells with conventional active materials reach their limits in terms of energy density and suffer from safety problems.To enable large-scale manufacturing of solid state batteries that can solve these problems, the PULSELiON project presents new pulsed laser deposition-based tec…

Sustainable and digitalized GIGAfactory for BATtery production with made-in-Europe machinery.

SågFlex has developed knowledge on how sawmills and suppliers can contribute with flexible operations to support the electricity grid. The project has shown how demand flexibility, battery systems (BESS), and smart charging of electric vehicles can be used for increased profitability.

Using additive manufacturing, LAMBADA aims to develop an ultra-lightweight and scalable battery pack with improved cooling capacity.
