GranuGoIn Project Boosts Germany's Battery Production Towards Sustainability

The GranuGoIn project, a collaborative effort between academia and industry, is driving Germany's battery value chain towards sustainability and competitiveness. Led by the Technical University of Brunswick, the project aims to refine battery production processes, enhancing performance and affordability.

The project's core objective is to ready its innovative process for market use. This involves fine-tuning process parameters, perfecting granulate dosing, and integrating inline measurement technology for rigorous quality control.

The new approach boasts improved granulate storage stability, enabling more flexible, decoupled production and superior electrode quality. This is achieved through a semi-dry production process for electrodes, developed by the Technical University of Brunswick. This process uses granulate-based material with minimal solvent, significantly reducing energy-intensive drying processes and production costs.

The GranuGoIn project, involving Remex, THEODOR SCHMIDT GROUP, Fraunhofer IKTS, and Bauhaus Luftfahrt, seeks to scale this semi-dry production process for industrial use, benefiting both anodes and cathodes.

By advancing this innovative production process, the GranuGoIn project fosters Germany's technological and economic competitiveness. More efficient and affordable batteries will expand electric mobility and ensure a stable power supply from renewable energy sources, marking a significant stride towards a sustainable future.
