BATTSi
Valorisation of Industrial Waste Streams for Battery Grade Silicon
What we do
Battery value chains have recently emerged as a vital economic activity in Northern countries. The project aims to position the NPA as a leader in sustainable battery technologies, driving both economic growth and environmental sustainability in the region.
The BATTSi project mobilizes transnational research groups, industry experts, and service providers to enhance innovation capacity for the valorisation of locally available sustainable materials within battery material value chain.
The project pilots technologies for conversion of silicon-rich side and waste streams, such as grain husks and geo-brine, into battery-grade silicon. A comprehensive technology transfer and commercialisation roadmap will be developed, which will detail the specifications for these technologies, along with evaluations of scalability, techno-economic implications, environmental impacts, and key stakeholders. This roadmap will facilitate technology adoption among battery material manufacturers in the NPA.
