SOLIDBAT and the Path to Affordable, Clean, and Sustainable Energy

The SOLIDBAT project is developing the next generation of solid-state batteries (SSBs) to enable safer, more efficient, and sustainable electrification. By addressing the growing demand for high-performance energy storage, SOLIDBAT directly contributes to multiple United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), accelerating the global transition toward clean mobility and a climate-neutral society.

SOLIDBAT and its Contribution to the SDGs

The project plays a key role in shaping the future of sustainable energy by delivering innovative solutions that support the EU Green Deal, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and foster industrial leadership in Europe’s battery sector. Through its advancements, SOLIDBAT contributes to several SDGs:

SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy

SOLIDBAT develops high-energy-density SSBs (400 Wh/kg, 1000 Wh/L) that combine fast charging, long life, and safety. These advances support renewable integration and electric mobility, enabling affordable and reliable access to clean energy while reducing dependency on fossil fuels.

SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure

By introducing cutting-edge materials such as water-processable nickel-rich NMC cathodes, 3D lithium anodes, and hybrid gel polymer electrolytes, SOLIDBAT fosters technological innovation and strengthens Europe’s battery manufacturing capabilities. The project enhances industrial competitiveness and builds resilient infrastructure through scalable, lithium-ion-compatible production processes.

SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production

SOLIDBAT’s green processing approach eliminates organic solvents and reduces the reliance on critical raw materials (CRMs). This focus on eco-friendly materials and sustainable design practices contributes to more responsible production and reduces the environmental footprint of future batteries.

SDG 13: Climate Action

By enabling the widespread adoption of zero-emission vehicles and supporting the decarbonisation of road, air, and marine transport, SOLIDBAT directly addresses climate change. Its safer and more efficient batteries will reduce greenhouse gas emissions, helping to achieve the targets of the Paris Agreement and the EU’s climate-neutrality goals.

A Step Towards a Cleaner Future

The SOLIDBAT project exemplifies the potential of solid-state battery innovation to support global sustainability objectives. By aligning with SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure), SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), and SDG 13 (Climate Action), SOLIDBAT is paving the way for a safer, greener, and more energy-efficient future.
