– CCTT involved<\/strong>: CNETE, CEPROCQ, SEREX
– Summary<\/strong>: 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).<\/p>\n

– CCTT involved<\/strong>: CEPROCQ, SEREX, Innofibre, Coalia, CNETE
– Summary<\/strong>: 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).<\/p>\n

– CCTT involved<\/strong>: IVI, CNETE, ITMI
– Summary<\/strong>: The multi-center, inter-order P\u00f4le 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.<\/p>\n
