BASQUEVOLT \u2013 officially<\/span><\/span> launched on 10 June 2022 \u2013<\/span><\/span> is a company committed to developing sustainable, safer, and competitive solid-state<\/a> battery technology with the best resources and cells for electric vehicles, heavy transport, renewable energy, stationary energy storage (including hybridisation with hydrogen-gas systems), advanced portable devices, and electronic devices.<\/p>\n The company believes this is possible due to its exclusive composite electrolyte that results from more than ten years of research conducted into solid-state batteries by researchers at the CIC energiGUNE<\/a>, which is one of the top three research centres in Europe in energy storage and batteries.<\/p>\n Electrolyte lithium batteries are reaching a state of maturity, and as such, the next technological breakthrough required to reveal the true capacity of energy storage must come from the solid-state.<\/p>\n The company <\/span>is hopeful that by 2025,<\/span> the development of prototype cells and the commissioning of a pilot production line <\/span>will be underway.<\/span> BASQUEVOLT<\/span>\u00a0also<\/span> intends <\/span>to <\/span>start <\/span>production of<\/span> battery<\/a> cells in 2027, with the aim of reaching a capacity of 10GWh. The novel technology is expected to exceed the energy density of current storage solutions; due to its technological expertise, BASQUEVOLT aspires to become the European leader in the production of solid-state batteries.<\/p>\n The founding consortium of investors in the project, promoted by the Basque Government, includes Iberdrola, CIE Automotive, Enag\u00e1s, EIT InnoEnergy<\/a>, and CIC energiGUNE, whose research has facilitated the formation of this initiative.<\/p>\n Additionally, due to an investment of <\/span><\/span>\u20ac<\/span><\/span>700m<\/span>,<\/span> th<\/span>e company anticipates that through this<\/span> initiative<\/span>,<\/span> a production line <\/span>can be launched <\/span>in four years<\/span>. It is also expected <\/span>to<\/span> generate<\/span> more<\/span> than 800 direct jobs.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nLithium batteries are reaching their maturity<\/h3>\n
