We are part of several innovative projects

The LION-HD project

ABCR Laboratorios, S.L. is one of the members of the consortium of the LION-HD project "Industrial research on strategic materials for energy-dense, cost-optimised lithium-ion batteries for sustainable electromobility".

The main objective of this project is to significantly improve the energy density, cost and sustainability of lithium-ion batteries through novel research into advanced active and inactive materials and their synergistic combinations for the different components of the electrochemical cell (anode, electrolyte and cathode), overcoming their current limits, thus facilitating the evolution and transformation of the transport sector towards sustainability, decarbonisation and a drastic reduction in emissions.

The LION-HD project has been financed by the Centre for the Development of Industrial Technology (CDTI) and is co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), in the 2019 call of the MISSIONS Programme, within the framework of the State Programme for Business Leadership in R&D&I, of the State Plan for Scientific and Technical Research and Innovation 2017-2020, with the support of the Ministry of Science and Innovation.

Estimated total budget of the project: 5.775.157,00 €.
Total aid granted for the project: 4.143.878,45 €.
Project implementation period: From October 2020 to December 2023.
Location: Forcarei

The ECO-SMART BATT project

ABCR Labs participates in the project called "ECO-SMART BATT: Sustainable manufacturing 4.0 of nanocomposites and ionogels for high energy density batteries (IN854A 2020/04)".

The main objective of the project is to significantly improve the energy density, cost and sustainability of lithium-ion batteries thus facilitating the transformation of the transport sector towards sustainability, decarbonization and emission reduction.

This objective will be achieved through:

  • Novel research in sustainable and smart manufacturing of advanced active and inactive materials and their synergistic combinations for the different components of the electrochemical cell (anode, electrolyte, and separators) and,
  • Research in monitoring, control and simulation technologies that allow the design of new, more efficient, and profitable production processes for the different materials and electrochemical cells that will be obtained during the project.

The ECO-SMART BATT consortium is formed by five Galician entities:

  • ABCR LABORATORIOS, S.L.
  • FERROGLOBE INNOVATION S.L.
  • ENSO INNOVATION S.L.
  • ARTABRO TECH S.L.
  • CETIM TECHNOLOGICAL CENTRE

TOTAL PROJECT BUDGET: 2.752.750,98 €.

This project is subsidized by the Galician Innovation Agency within the framework of the 2020 call of the Factory of the Future, smart and sustainable factory of Industry 4.0 aid program. The grants awarded under this program have been co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) under Axis 1 (Promoting research, technological development, and innovation) of the ERDF Galicia 2014-2020 operational program.  The project is supported by the Second Vice-Presidency and the Regional Ministry of Economy, Enterprise, and Innovation.

DOUTORAMENTO INDUSTRIAL 2022

ABCR Laboratorios participates in the project called “Doutoramento Industrial 2022”.

The main objective of the project is to create, generate and retain talent to address the social and digital challenges and the digital and sustainable transformation of the region of Galicia.

This objective will be achieved through:

  • Promote effective collaboration and the transfer of knowledge between the universities of the Sistema Galego Universitario (SUG) and the business fabric through the signing of conventions or agreements that regulate the development of an industrial research project.
  • Promote the recruitment of young researchers so that they develop research projects in the companies that hire them and that allows them to obtain an industrial doctorate in sectors of regional strategic interest.
  • Enable the incorporation of young doctoral staff into companies, once the aid ends and, in this way, open up new career paths for them.
  • Strengthen the collaboration between the companies and the universities of the SUG.

TOTAL PROJECT BUDGET: 1.890.000,00 €

This project is financed by the First Vice-presidency and Department of Economy, Industry and Innovation, through the Galician Innovation Agency and the Department of Culture, Education, Vocational Training and Universities.
