Lithium-free batteries: what opportunities for a sovereign, sustainable industry in France?

Description

Europe is lagging far behind in mature lithium battery technologies, and is actively trying to catch up. However, other lithium-free chemistries are proving particularly relevant for a wide range of applications, and French players are leading the way in terms of innovation. What are these alternatives? What challenges still need to be met in order to move from R&D to industrialization, while maintaining this lead? The aim of this round table is to take a clear-sighted look at the concrete opportunities and points to watch out for, in order to build a sovereign and sustainable industry.

Resume

La réglementation européenne sur les batteries vise à assurer la traçabilité des matériaux, l'empreinte environnementale, et la transparence des batteries. Un cadre réglementaire stable est crucial pour favoriser l'innovation et l'investissement, tout en protégeant les chaînes de valeur stratégiques pour l'indépendance énergétique de l'Europe. La formation et le développement des compétences sont essentiels pour soutenir l'essor de la filière des batteries en Europe. Ce résumé a été généré par une IA.
