M-BAT

The objectives of the M-BAT project are:

• Demonstrate four innovative processes for the recovery and production of critical battery materials:
  • GRANODE
  • RECO
  • RETAILCO
  • GEOLI
• Produce battery-grade materials from European primary and secondary resources.
• Reduce Europe’s dependence on imported critical raw materials.
• Strengthen circularity and sustainability within the battery value chain.
• Implement a Safe and Sustainable by Design (SSbD) approach throughout the technology development process.
• Validate the produced materials in real battery applications, including NMC811 cathodes and anodes.
• Develop exploitation, replication and valorisation strategies for the project results.

IDENER Research & Development AIE (Spain)

Approximately €11.6 million, funded by the European Union through the Horizon Europe programme.

Battery Cluster Portugal participates as a consortium partner, representing the Portuguese battery value chain and contributing to the exploitation and valorisation of the project results.

BAT’s main role is to lead the exploitation strategy associated with the GRANODE process, supporting the development of business models, identifying market opportunities, and fostering future industrial collaborations to accelerate the uptake of the technologies developed within the project. Battery Cluster also contributes to dissemination, networking and stakeholder engagement activities, helping to connect key actors across the European battery value chain.
