ATENA+
The EU-funded project ATENA+ is a four-year initiative to revolutionise energy storage systems with sustainable, high-performance sodium-ion battery technology.
ATENA+ aims to enhance the competitiveness of Europe’s battery industry by developing and demonstrating next-generation sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) designed for cost-effectiveness, safety, sustainability, and scalability.
Key project goals include:
- Optimising advanced materials such as cobalt-free layered oxides and EU-sourced biobased hard carbon.
- Developing environmentally friendly processes for high-performance electrode production.
- Manufacturing and testing SIB modules with integrated advanced Battery Management Systems (BMS).
- Validating the system’s performance across five real-world energy use cases
