Technology Evaluation for Batteries

In the topic "Technology assessment for batteries", we analyze and evaluate materials, processes and technologies over the entire life cycle of a battery. Our aim is to determine the best and most sustainable technology option by taking economic, ecological and social effects into account, taking specific boundary conditions into account. Our expertise is aimed at industrial enterprises, companies and research institutions.

We are working intensively to develop new technologies and processes for the efficient and cost-effective production of battery cells on an industrial scale. Our research includes comprehensive techno-economic and ecological assessments of technology options. Through detailed process modeling and material flow analyses, we analyze existing standard processes as well as innovative and new approaches.

Our direct contact with experts enables us to evaluate various processes from laboratory to pilot scale. We are also active in the field of battery recycling, developing innovative recycling processes and working on the recovery of valuable and critical raw materials.
