The clusterhub for production of raw materials for batteries from European resources

FREE4LIB is proud to be part of the “Clusterhub for production of raw materials for batteries from European resources”, alongside with eleven other European projects.

The raw materials for batteries clusterhub (www.materialsforbatterieshub.eu) is a knowledge exchange platform, where the partners – all European-funded projects – can exchange on the production of materials for Li-ion batteries, at the heart of their research.

The cluster hub was created in November 2022 and aims at fostering innovations in the field of recycling of batteries and the production of raw materials for battery applications from primary and secondary resources available in Europe.

FREE4LIB is very pleased to be able to exchange freely amongst the scientific and stakeholder community on a subject which is central to its own development. FREE4LIB is thankful for the cluster hub, and its partner projects, to allow such a thriving and rich platform of innovation, on the subject of battery recycling and critical raw materials.
