We want to build a future where batteries are fully integrated into a circular economy, minimizing environmental impact and making energy storage sustainable for generations to come.
REBORN wants to design a sustainable, scalable, and circular value chain for second-life lithium-ion batteries. This is achieved by developing smart, safe and cost-efficient battery systems that extend battery life, reduce waste, and support Europe’s competitiveness in the industrial battery value chain.
We aim to create modular, scalable battery systems that optimise energy storage and can be adapted for applications in energy storage and electric vehicles, promoting battery reuse and ensuring compatibility with the battery passport initiative.
The project promotes the circular economy by developing technologies that extend the lifecycle of batteries, reduce raw material extraction, and decrease battery waste.
We work with reputable partners from academia, industry, and policy-making to ensure our solutions are scalable and have long-term socioeconomic impact, supporting Europe’s competitiveness in the battery industry.
REBORN focuses on increasing the energy efficiency of storage systems through AI-driven technologies and innovative design to support reconfiguration and disassembly for 2nd life.
REBORN will help reduce battery waste, contributing to the reduction of carbon emissions by repurposing batteries and ensuring they stay in use for longer periods, boosting materials circularity.
By making battery systems safer, more affordable and reducing the need for new raw materials, REBORN will lead to cost savings in the energy storage industry.
Through community engagement and education, REBORN will help raise awareness about 2nd life battery benefits, and promote environmentally conscious practices in the energy sector.
Our modular BMS ensures batteries are optimally managed for long-term performance and safety, while extending their lifetime and reducing the environmental impact of battery use.
We leverage AI and real-time data to optimise battery performance, increase efficiency, and predict maintenance needs, ensuring maximum lifecycle of the batteries.
REBORN’s modular systems make battery components easily adaptable, promoting their reuse and thus reducing the need for new raw materials.
All of our technologies are designed with sustainability in mind, reducing waste and promoting the circular economy.
The REBORN project will be present at the Batteries2030+ Annual Conference, taking place on 7–8 May 2026 in Turin, Italy. This flagship event of the European battery research community brings together scientists, engineers and industry stakeholders to exchange the latest advances in next-generation battery technologies.
