LiPLANET

The overall objective of the LiPLANET project is to create a European innovation and production ecosystem and reinforce the position of the European Union (EU) in the Lithium battery cell manufacturing market. LiPLANET plans to build a more competitive Lithium battery cell manufacturing ecosystem and increase the production of Li-ion cells towards industrial scale, by bringing together the most relevant European Li-ion cell pilot lines and the main stakeholders of the battery sector. The project LiPLANET lays the foundation for a network of battery cell pilot lines in Europe. This network allows to exploit synergies between pilot line operators, identify knowledge and equipment gaps, organize joint trainings as well as, favor collaboration with industry and academia, and facilitate the access to market. For this purpose, different activities are followed throughout the project:  mapping of the European Li-ion cell pilot lines and implementation of a network,  creation of a standardized legal framework and a data exchange platform for the cooperation between industry, academia and pilot lines,  round-robin test to compare qualification methods,  development of a roadmap for joint strategies of the network towards industrial-scale battery cell production in Europe. This Project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme under Grant Agreement N. 875479
