Powering Green Transition
CHARGE project focuses on policies that promote the innovative, safe, and sustainable development, production, reuse and recycling of batteries, supporting the implementation of the new EU Batteries Regulation. This initiative aims to drive the transition to a low-carbon circular economy, with batteries playing a crucial role in storing renewable energy, powering electric vehicles, and reducing fossil fuel reliance and carbon emissions.
Fostering a sustainable battery industry and engaging key stakeholders throughout the battery lifecycle, the project aims to develop regional and interregional policy solutions that support the EU Batteries Regulation. CHARGE facilitates interregional exchange to identify best practices and novel solutions, enhancing policy instruments to foster networking and collaboration among regional innovation actors, companies, and research institutes, thereby enabling them to enter international markets and develop new products and services.
The interregional learning process in CHARGE aims to create a society where batteries are developed, produced, reused, and recycled sustainably. It addresses, for example, the following regional development and innovation policy questions:
- Solving regional energy consumption, carbon emissions and transportation challenges with green energy and logistics.
- Promoting a low-carbon circular economy of batteries.
- Improving the capacity of companies and research institutes to innovate and comply with the EU Batteries Regulation.
CHARGE provides a platform for interregional and regional stakeholder cooperation, strengthening regional battery value chains and ecosystems and promoting connections and learning among regional battery ecosystems and their stakeholders. The project has a strong Europe-wide partnership representing regions from seven countries, committed to interregional learning and investing in resource-efficient circular economies, green logistics, sustainable energy and the development of battery technologies and ecosystems.
