Objective
The main mission for EPISODE is to develop a non-lithium battery technology based on abundant available low-cost materials, with attractive energy density and power metrics (close to that of LFP-based Li-ion batteries counterparts), that are durable (> 15 years and > 5,000 cycles), have a high round-trip efficiency (>95%), are non-toxic, non-critical, intrinsically safe and recyclable. A further aspect of this mission is that the production processes for the anode, cathode, electrolyte solutions and binders as well as cell production will be sustainable, energy-efficient and demonstrated at industrial mass manufacturing scale. Combining all of this leads to a non-lithium modular battery system with favourable CAPEX (< 150 €/kW storage capacity), OPEX (approx. 0.03 €/kWh/cycle) and carbon footprint (<100kgCO2eq/kWh), enabling energy storage applications, ranging from domestic installations (multiple units of 6.2 kWh/unit to be demonstrated in the project with projections towards large utility installations of multiple MWh. As a consequence, this will establish a European-based, globally competitive battery supply- and value chain that supports economic prosperity and the net-zero transition. The integrated material-manufacturing and sustainability assessment approach in EPISODE will transform the existing (Li) battery manufacturing process into a sustainable one to meet the future needs of the sustainable and resilient EU battery industry.
In EPISODE, the project objectives will be achieved by a strong alliance among physics, chemistry and materials science researchers from both academia and industry (ARK, UPC, ISE), academic battery cell producers (CID, WMG) and industrial module manufacturers (FAAM), end-users (EGP, EnelX, EnBW, Senec) as well as expertise in environmental assessments (UAH, KIT) and experts in project management and communication and dissemination activities (UNR).

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
