GIGAGREEN Project

Italy · Research Services

GIGAGREEN proposes a structured research plan to develop and scale-up novel electrode and cell component manufacturing processes that follow a Design to Manufacture (DtM) approach. This is, seeking the minimum environmental impact and energy consumption, cell designs which facilitate the re-use and disassembly, an increase in the cost-efficiency and safety of processes and products, and high-throughput technologies able to be easily scaled up and automated in the context of industry 4.0/5.0 giga-factories. Supported by a vibrant and experienced consortium of academic and industrial partners, GIGAGREEN will follow two alternative R&I trajectories. The first one, based on N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP)-free wet processing, is designed for a quick scale-up and market uptake of optimised wet coating systems in current industrial setups. The second one, based on dry processing, will explore breakthrough technologies, paving the path for upcoming R&I experiences to continue scaling up the most promising dry processing techniques.
