Role within INERRANT

Within the framework of INERRANT, Pleione Energy has the responsibility of the work package that focuses on the ‘Up-scaling and demonstration of the developed technologies at “Gigafactory”-relevant manufacturing scale’, with significant impact on transferring the technologies developed throughout the activity from lad scale to an industrial level. Pleione is responsible for the successful integration of the developed Gen 3 Lithium-ion battery technologies in a safe and efficient battery cell and for the successful exploitation of these technologies in co-operation with the battery industry. One of the primary goals is also to define the LIB cell design, outline its features, and set also the benchmark for the developed battery cells. Pleione Energy provides also support on WP1, WP2 and WP3, with the preparation of battery cells utilizing the novel materials developed in this activity and the electrochemical characterization of the cells. Finally, Pleione is leading Task 7.4 and is responsible for the establishment of exploitation and the delivery of viable business cases for the developed technologies within INERRANT in a strong co-operation with partners of the project.
