NoVOC Year 2 General Assembly meeting in Braunschweig
NoVOC partners reunited for the Year 2 General Assembly meeting in Braunschweig, Germany On September 17 and 18 we held our Year 2 General Assembly meeting hosted by the Institute of Particle Technology at the Technical University Braunschweig in Braunschweig, Germany. We had two days of project updates, engaging discussions and inspiring working sessions, where we generated a clearer picture and key criteria for more sustainable battery production processes as well as key performance parameters. One of the highlights was also a site visit at the Battery Lab Factory as well as the relatively new CircularLab. For more info on the NoVOC project, follow us on LinkedIn and X.
Consolidated requirements for the NoVOC cells available
Empowering the Future of Sustainable Battery Manufacturing As we continue to push the boundaries of innovation, the NoVOC project is making significant strides in ensuring that the future of battery manufacturing is not only efficient but also sustainable from start to finish. In one of our first deliverables, we've defined critical requirements for designing batteries that align with the European Battery Regulation. Our focus? A cradle-to-grave life cycle that enhances both manufacturing efficiency and recyclability. Key highlights include: Compliance with the new European Battery Regulation, ensuring mandatory recycled content in batteries. Innovative approaches to improve the recyclability of NoVOC batteries, focusing on safer, simpler processes. Practical insights for integrating these sustainable practices right from the battery design phase. This deliverable serves as an interactive guide for all our partners, helping us move closer to a fully closed-loop battery life cycle, making a lasting impact on the environment and the future of electric vehicles. A special shoutout to our WP leader Romain Chane Ki Chune at SNAM and the whole WP5 team including experts at our coordinating entity RISE. Learn [...]

Month 18 virtual General Assembly meeting
The NoVOC team met again to discuss the project progressOn February 13 and 14, 2024, we had our second General Assembly meeting and virtually met for 2 half days to discuss our project progress since we last saw each other in October last year ad the premises of Cidetec in beautiful San Sebastián, in Spain.The leaders of our scientific work packages, Mattia Giuliano, Guiomar Hernández, Syed Muqurrab Ali Zaidi, Dr. Nicolas Bucher, and Romain Chane Ki Chune, provided updates on their teams' progress and we engaged in enlightening discussions on various topics including coating, wet and dry processing, silicone and graphite availability, and more. We've also spent some time catching up and reconnecting with our glorious peers.As always, we welcomed NoVOC "newbies" to the team, who introduced themselves at the beginning of the meeting and were warmly greeted and integrated to our group.
First NoVOC public deliverable submitted and accepted
