✈️🔬👩🔬 CustomCells is gearing up to showcase its expertise in the HELENA Project! HELENA is set to propel Europe towards a climate-neutral future, especially as electric aviation prepares for takeoff within the next five to 10 years. With innovations already underway for electric vehicle batteries, HELENA will also reduce Europe's dependence on Asian battery production. Developed by a consortium with deep-rooted European expertise covering the entire battery value chain, HELENA represents a significant step forward. 🔋 About the Technology HELENA, which stands for Halide solid-state batteries for ELectric vEhicles aNd Aircraft, addresses the critical need for safe, high-efficiency, and high-power-density solid-state battery cells. These batteries, part of the 4b generation, utilize a high-capacity Ni-rich cathode (NMC), high-energy Li metal (LiM) anode, and Li-ion superionic halide solid electrolyte, making them ideal for electric vehicles and aircraft. 👩🔬 CustomCells Role CustomCells is at the forefront of scaling up the technology developed by the consortium to an industry-relevant cell size. Our focus lies in developing cell assembly techniques for larger cells, a crucial step in realizing the potential of HELENA. We're currently in discussions with partners to define the parameters and specifications for the necessary equipment, particularly for cell assembly under dry conditions, where processing the halide electrolyte at extremely low humidity presents a unique challenge. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to drive innovation and sustainability in the battery technology landscape! ⚡ #CustomCells #HELENA #Research #BatteryInnovation #Sustainability #Aviation #eAviation #ZeroEmission #BatteryCells #Sustainability #EnergyAtItsBest #EnergyAsAGiven 🌱✈️

⏳ Any #Innovation requires great timing! I did my PhD about variable compression technologies for internal combustions engines. This field which has already been existing since the invention of engines. The oldest patents, I could find about my preferred solution approach dated back to 1887. I optimised this basic concepts with #AI-algorithms to find the best possible variants, that I finally implemented and tested on lastest gasoline engines from 2007 onwards. For decades the focus of development of the car #industry was to generate more torque and power in engines. This pushed development of injection technologies, turbo-charging and variable valve systems. When I started in 2007 the interest in reaching higher efficiency while keeping torque and power of an engine constant was small, but growing and it had mainly been driven by world-wide CO2-regulation. 🇪🇺 🇨🇳 🇺🇸 With the rising pressure of regulations, there suddenly was an option to invest a few hundred euros per engine to get a reduction in CO2-emissions. As the world market had been dominated by gasoline engines, the scale of a 10-20 g CO2 reduction per kilometre would have been massive for Volkswagen Group – the biggest car manufacturer at that time. So the innovation window 🪟had been open around 2012, for the first time, 125 years after invention of variable compression systems. But with this window of opportunity smashed when in 2015 the Diesel crisis enfolded and at the same time it became clear, electric mobility would develop faster than previously expected – benefitting from a zero emission count in the fleet emissions. So finally the technology and its development ended quite instantly and me and my around 130 colleagues who worked on this topic full-time had to reorient themselves. Many dozens of million euros had already been spent, but the opportunity window was closed. This window had been open for just around 3 years -beforehand there was no appreciation for cutting down emissions with such an elaborate and expensive technology and after that there was a superior technology, that got supported of most of the regulation authorities: e-mobility. For me it had been the sign to move on in 2016 – being an environmental engineer it is my goal to leverage technology for enabling sustainability. I then worked on new business models in sustainable mobility and finally founded Footprint Technologies to cut down returns in shoe e-commerce. My core mission of leveraging technology for more sustainability is the same - just the product is quite different. 😉 ✍️ Do you also have great expamples of innovations, that missed their window of opportunity?

🔋 Next year works are expected to begin in Mariestad, where Volvo Group will be building a battery cell factory set to employ 3,000 workers and provide a production output of 300,000 ton per year. Roadmap:  ✔ 2025: start of constructions ✔ 2028: start of production ✔ 2030: large scale series production 🚌 The battery cells will be designed specifically for commercial vehicle applications, supporting the global roll-out of electric trucks, buses, construction equipment and electric drivelines for different applications. 📍 The site in the municipality of Mariestad is close to the Volvo Group’s current powertrain plant in Skövde and will benefit from the region’s existing industrial and logistics infrastructure while having access to Sweden’s rich supply of fossil free energy. 🗣️ “We are committed to provide competitive battery cell technology in a net-zero environment”, stated Fredrik Agelén, Head of Volvo battery Mariestad operations. #volvo #battery #mobility #commercialvehicles #electricbus
