Major projects and planned studies :
– CCTT involved: CNETE, CEPROCQ, SEREX
– Summary: The aim of this project is to identify energy-intensive, water-intensive, GHG-emitting processes using chemicals, and to carry out a technical and economic study. It includes the development of a library of MCS-selective bacterial outputs and a supercritical phase extraction process, and the development of a library of specific advanced biobased or recycled adsorbents (Hydromet).

– CCTT involved: CEPROCQ, SEREX, Innofibre, Coalia, CNETE
– Summary: The aim of this project is to replace certain SCMs with more available and less expensive materials: anode, cathode, separators, including inactive materials, etc. (e.g. biomass-based binder and anode to replace graphite or elements easily found in nature such as sodium) in order to reduce the environmental impact and production costs of mining operations. This will reduce battery costs, which are linked to materials (73% for NMC batteries, 85% for LFP batteries).

– CCTT involved: CEPROCQ, CTTEI, COALIA, CNETE
– Summary: This project aims to develop new processes such as solvometallurgy (selective extraction of metals and rare earths), supercritical CO2 (extraction and recycling of organic compounds) and hydrothermal oxidation (destruction of plastics and liberation of metals from electronic boards).

– Summary: The aim of this project is to identify and pool battery resources linked to the CCTT and other research players, in order to optimize the structure of value chain elements, from mine to battery, as well as the recycling of starting materials for greater circularity in the industry.

– CCTT involved: IMAR, UQAR, Polytechnique
– Summary: The aim of this project is to instrument service vessels (Canadian Coast Guard, tugs, pilot boats, research vessels, tugs, etc.) in order to measure their energy expenditure under different operating profiles and to define energy consumption models to identify the best vessel hybridization scenarios. GHG emissions reduction for hybrid ships between 5% and 40%.

– CCTT involved: IVI, CNETE, ITMI
– Summary: The multi-center, inter-order Pôle Batterie center will bring together expertise and know-how from centers such as IVI and universities such as Concordia. Placing this laboratory close to the user industries will speed up the turnaround rate for technological iterations and homologation iterations of the various batteries submitted. The sum of the battery assembly and qualification laboratories will enable Quebec to join the production chain that complies with international norms and standards. To this end, CNETE collaborates with French laboratories, including CRITM2A (performance) and INERIS (safety), to ensure laboratory compatibility with current standards.

7 studies planned
Comparison of battery chemistries, advantages, disadvantages, NMT, technological challenges, identification of missing equipment
Study of training needs for 1st and 2nd transformation of MCS, study of supply, gaps, needs for adaptation of existing training courses and new training courses (battery engineering, battery safety, recycling).
Study on the technological, commercial and competitive positioning of the battery and battery materials qualification laboratory
Study on the energy efficiency of the industry
End-of-life battery study: potential reuses, description of tests to be carried out and decision-making parameters to be taken into account, mapping of the reuse, reconditioning, repair and recycling ecosystem. Decision support tool for EV battery end-of-life: channel, state of health of the battery, reuse options, etc. (taking into account the parameters of the study).
Study of technologies and pilot project on battery qualification and traceability: including the development of tools for estimating emissions associated with the battery sector.
Inventory of R&D equipment available in Qc in the centers and strategy for pooling existing equipment.
