Efficient and long-duration stationary energy storage with Lithium-ion batteries plays a key role in the transition towards a carbon-neutral economy within the booming increase of electrical vehicle (EV) market. A new generation of Zn batteries is offering sustainable, cheaper and safer technological alternative. In the project ZnOrgBAT a Zn stationary battery prototype with an outstanding energy density within the range 350 – 825 Wh/kg will be developed and tested in a relevant environment.

The proposal promotes training of PhD students in academia and industry in the EIT RM field of Sustainable discovery and supply of mineral resources. It tackles challenges in mining industry caused by e.g., energy transition and climate change mitigation. ADMA3 educates experts to industry and academia, gives models and skills to establish enterprises, and helps to foster sustainable development (SD) and businesses, think up innovations, and handle ethics related problem-solving.
