Driving the Future
of Europe’s
Battery Sector

By tackling challenges like critical raw material reliance and inefficiencies in recycling, the project introduces advanced solutions such as AI-driven lifecycle management and groundbreaking battery design.

Driving Innovation and
Sustainability Forward

CIRCUBATT aims to optimize the entire battery lifecycle—from design and manufacturing to second-life applications and recycling—while promoting circular economy principles. Through collaboration, cutting-edge research, and strategic integration, the project seeks to enhance environmental sustainability, reduce reliance on critical raw materials, and empower Europe’s transition to cleaner energy solutions.

The Challenge

The growing demand for cleaner energy, electric vehicles, and renewables has made batteries indispensable. However, multiple hurdles persist:

Reliance on critical
raw materials (CRMs)

Materials like lithium, cobalt, and nickel are often sourced from geopolitically sensitive regions, posing economic and environmental risks.

Lack of
circularity

Battery reuse, recycling, and second-life solutions are not fully optimized, leading to resource inefficiency and increased waste.

High infrastructure
and processing costs

As battery production and recycling capacities scale, the current infrastructures are often inadequate for the volume and complexity of battery waste.
