RESiLiTE is a project co-funded by the European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency which aims to increasing the energy density, energy efficiency, operative temperature range, fire safety and sustainability of upcoming battery packs for automotive vehicles and, subsequently, aircrafts.
This project aims to integrate large format cylindrical cells (46xx, like 4680, 4695, etc.) employed by major car manufacturers worldwide within a novel thermoplastic battery housing.
RESiLiTE was conceived in response to a specific topic outlined in a call for projects launched by the European Commission. This topic emerged from the need to enhance widespread electrification of mobile applications to achieve the goals of the European Green Deal.
In order to enable the necessary uptake of electrified mobility applications, a competitive European battery value chain will have to deliver highly performant and safe battery systems
The call for projects focused on developing batteries that are safe and sustainable by design, with reduced size and weight, while delivering the performance required for mobile applications.
Beyond its technical goals, RESiLiTE also contributes to the broader vision of the Batt4EU Partnership (“Towards a competitive European industrial battery value chain for stationary applications and e-mobility”), that aims to establish world-leading sustainable and circular European battery value chain to drive transformation towards a carbon-neutral society.
Batteries will enable the rollout of zero-emission mobility and renewable energy storage, contributing to the European Green Deal and supporting the UN SDGs by creating a vibrant, responsible and sustainable market. Besides climate neutrality, batteries also contribute to other UN SDGs directly and indirectly such as enabling of decentralized and off-grid energy solutions.
The strategic pathway is, on the one hand, for Europe to rapidly regain technological competitiveness in order to capture a significant market share of the new and fast-growing rechargeable battery market, and, on the other hand, to invest in longer term research on future battery technologies to establish Europe’s long term technological leadership and industrial competitiveness
