Project description
SAFELOOP's primary goal is to elevate the safety, sustainability, and performance of European Gigafactory scale LIB cells, aligning with the EUCAR Hazard Level 3 standards for mobility applications. This entails pioneering material innovations to improve battery safety, performance, and lifespan, with a target of achieving a 15% increase in cyclability by 2030 and doubling operational lifetime compared to 2019 levels. Moreover, SAFELOOP actively supports European competitiveness across the entire product lifecycle while integrating recycled materials from the closed loop supply chain, in line with the European Parliament's ambitious 2020 material recovery targets. Through comprehensive research, validation, and scalability planning, the project aspires to set new industry benchmarks for battery safety, reduce environmental impact, and advance Gen3 Li-Ion technology, contributing to a more sustainable energy storage landscape.
Co-operation
SAFELOOP consortium is formed to best fit the objectives of the project. Research and innovation-focused, with the aim to respond to actual business needs and to strengthen Europe’s industry competitiveness, it gathers 15 organisations from 3 continents and 11 different countries
