Funded project ATENA+

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

 

Grant and Funding Details
The ATENA+ (Advanced Technology for Stationary Energy Storage Systems in Sodium-Ion) project, with a total grant amount of €6,999,684.64 (Grant Agreement No. 101192673), is a collaborative effort spanning 48 months.
