CIC energiGUNE, one of the European reference centres in battery research and development

Posted on December 30, 2022December 31, 2022 by info

CIC energiGUNE, a leading Basque research centre in energy storage specialising in batteries, thermal energy solutions and hydrogen technologies, and a member of the Basque Research & Technology Alliance-BRTA, has been recognised as an “outstanding example” in the field of battery research and development by the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC).

In its recent report “Batteries for Energy Storage in the European Union”, the continent’s main executive body reviews the current state of the battery industry in Europe, as well as its main trends and technological challenges. In this context, the study points to CIC energiGUNE as one of the benchmark R&D centres at both national and EU level, thanks to the work carried out to date in the different branches of scientific research associated with energy storage and batteries.

In this way, the Basque centre, a strategic initiative supported by the Basque Government and the Provincial Council of Alava, has been highlighted alongside other major public institutions such as the Atomic Energy and Alternative Energies Commission (France), the National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Economic Development (Italy) and the Fraunhofer Gesells Alliance (Germany).

These entities are highlighted in the publication thanks to their lines of research into the innovation and development of energy storage technologies, which are expected to contribute to building a competitive European battery manufacturing industry based on the principles of clean energy and circular economy.

In fact, all of them are part of important scientific programmes such as Horizon Europe, highlighted by the Commission in its report and where CIC energiGUNE participates in different initiatives, leading some as relevant as the HELENA project, which aims to establish the development of the future generation of batteries based on solid electrolyte.
The report itself highlights this solid-state technology as one of the major future trends in the industry, together with another series of advances such as cobalt-free batteries (with NMC, NCA or NMCA cathodes) or solutions based on LFP cathodes. All of these are alternatives in which the work of CIC energiGUNE stands out.

The Commission also highlights the importance of the activity of this type of centre in the current race between Europe and other geographical areas such as North America and Asia. The latter region leads (through China, Japan and South Korea) in battery technology development and innovation through various publications and patents. Hence the importance that the study attributes to the R&D activity carried out by research centres such as CIC energiGUNE.

CIC energiGUNE, uno de los centros de referencia europea en investigación y desarrollo de baterías

CIC energiGUNE, centro de investigación vasco referente en almacenamiento de energía y especializado en baterías, soluciones de energía térmica y tecnologías del hidrógeno, y miembro de Basque Research & Technology Alliance-BRTA, ha sido reconocido como un “destacado ejemplo” en el campo de la investigación y desarrollo de baterías por parte del Centro Común de Investigación (JRC) de la Comisión Europea.

En su reciente informe “Batteries for Energy Storage in the European Union”, el principal órgano ejecutivo del continente repasa el estado actual de la industria de las baterías en Europa, así como sus principales tendencias y desafíos tecnológicos. En este contexto, el estudio señala a CIC energiGUNE como uno de los centros de referencia en I+D tanto a nivel estatal como comunitario, gracias al trabajo realizado hasta la fecha en las diferentes ramas de investigación científicas asociadas al almacenamiento de energía y baterías.

De esta manera el centro vasco, iniciativa estratégica apoyada por el Gobierno Vasco y la Diputación Foral de Álava, ha sido destacado junto a otras grandes instituciones públicas como la Comisión de Energía Atómica y Energías Alternativas (Francia), la Agencia Nacional de Nuevas Tecnologías, Energía y Desarrollo Económico Sostenible (Italia) o la Alianza Fraunhofer Gesells (Alemania).

Estas entidades son resaltadas dentro de la publicación gracias a sus líneas de investigación en torno a la innovación y desarrollo de tecnologías de almacenamiento de energía, que se espera que contribuyan a construir una industria europea competitiva de fabricación baterías basadas en los principios de energía limpia y economía circular.

De hecho, todas ellas forman parte de importantes programas científicos como Horizonte Europa, destacado por la Comisión en su informe y donde CIC energiGUNE participa en diferentes iniciativas, liderando algunas tan relevantes como el proyecto HELENA, que aspira a asentar el desarrollo de la futura generación de baterías basadas en electrolito sólido.

El propio informe resalta esta tecnología de estado sólido como una de las grandes tendencias del futuro de la industria, junto a otra serie de avances como las baterías libres de cobalto (con cátodos NMC, NCA o NMCA) o aquellas soluciones basadas en cátodos LFP. Todas ellas alternativas en las que sobresale el trabajo de CIC energiGUNE.

Igualmente, la Comisión pone de relieve la importancia de la actividad de este tipo de centros en la carrera actual de Europa con otras zonas geográficas como Norteamérica o Asia. No en vano, esta última región lidera (a través de China, Japón y Corea del Sur) el desarrollo e innovación tecnológica en torno a las baterías a través de diferentes publicaciones y patentes. De ahí la importancia que el estudio atribuye a la actividad de I+D desarrollada por centros de investigación como CIC energiGUNE.
