2BoSS Project

Kicking off the 2BoSS project meeting in Berlin! 🇩🇪 What better way to start our in-person meeting than with a social dinner in the heart of Berlin? - Last night, Cleopa GmbH welcomed the other project partners from Italy, Spain and France for some German food, craft beer, and great conversations 🍻.   The 2BoSS project is all about #sustainable battery innovation, but behind the #tech and #science, there’s a strong team working together across borders to make it happen 💪 . For us, building these connections outside the meeting room is just as important as our technical discussions.   But today, it’s time to get to work! - We’re diving into project updates, discussing recent advancements, and planning next steps. Cleopa GmbH team members are excited to host partners from IREC - Institut de Recerca en Energia de Catalunya (andreu cabot, Jordi Jacas Biendicho, HAO LI, Sunday LI), Commissariat a l'Energie Atomique et aux Energies Alternatives & CEA Grenoble (Pascale Chenevier, Michael Carboni), and Politecnico di Torino (gian andrea blengini, Giulia Pezzin, Elisa Accorsi). On the Cleopa side, their dedicated team - Bianca Olschewski, Pauliina Harrivaara and Laura Martinez Garcia is ensuring a smooth meeting while also leading insightful discussions on the different work packages.   Stay tuned for highlights from today’s meeting! 🔜

As the #battery industry grows, so does the need for #sustainable practices and environmental transparency. The 2BoSS project has tackled this challenge by developing a detailed Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) 📄 for lithium-sulfur (LiS) batteries, providing critical insights into the materials, #energy, emissions, and waste involved in the battery production🔋. These reliable datasets will contribute to reduce uncertainties and to improve data quality of LCAs in the battery field, providing a solid foundation to obtain meaningful impact assessment results for the industrial-scale production. So, what does our LCI work, led by Politecnico di Torino with partners CEA Grenoble, IREC - Institut de Recerca en Energia de Catalunya and Cleopa GmbH, entail?

Last week, the annual BATTERY 2030+ conference was held in Grenoble🇫🇷 , and it was a privilege to be part of such an important event! Many thanks to the organizing teams and BATTERY 2030+ members Simon Perraud, Alain Ali Fouladkar, Frederic Chandezon, and Sandrine Lyonnard. Over 320 participants from across #Europe gathered to collaborate on creating the sustainable #batteries of the #future and to share their innovative ideas 🔋 💡. The 2BoSS project was well-represented with two posters: one showcasing the silicon #anode developed by Commissariat a l'Energie Atomique et aux Energies Alternatives senior research scientist Pascale Chenevier, and another highlighting a #sustainable new #businessmodel within the #circulareconomy framework ♻️, presented by IREC - Institut de Recerca en Energia de Catalunya andreu cabot, Jordi Jacas Biendicho and Cleopa GmbH Alessandra Manzini. IREC’s young scientists and researchers were notably active during the poster sessions. The conference featured industrial presentations, keynote speeches, young scientists’ sessions, poster pitches, and #networking 👥 opportunities during coffee breaks ☕️. Additionally, we had the chance to engage with manufacturers, start-ups, European associations, project coordinators, and more. The discussions were inspiring and the ecosystem was prominent, with key players including BATTERY 2030+, BEPA - Batteries European Partnership Association, Batteries Europe, EMIRI, InnoEnergy, EIT InnoEnergy, and others. Mathieu MORCRETTE (Centre national de la recherche scientifique) introduced the battery valley in northern France and highlighted the major French players such as Syensqo, Umicore, Verkor, Tiamat Energy, and SOLiTHOR. Thank you to everyone who contributed to making this event so interesting and successful! ✨👏🏼
