Important results from the project

ZincMate demonstrates a zinc-ion battery energy storage solution that can be used by all EU households, including apartments, for energy savings and renewable energy adoption. Enerpoly advanced key battery components, including a bi-polar cell module design, a multi-modular pack architecture and a battery management system (BMS) optimized to zinc-ion batteries. Integration with EET’s residential storage system and inverter is underway to prototype and test the device.

Expected long term effects

ZincMate advances the commercialization of zinc-ion batteries for residential storage, promoting a safe, sustainable and cost-effective alternative. Standardized energy storage solutions that use European sourced materials align with policies like REPowerEU. Enerpoly’s progress in development and production lays the foundation for industrialization. Insights gained support market entry and investment, positioning zinc-ion as a key technology for the clean energy transition.

Approach and implementation

The ZincMate project integrated EET´s on-grid energy storage device with Enerpoly´s zinc-ion batteries for a safe and sustainable solution. Key activities like component development and integration planning met objectives. However, external factors like the setup of Enerpoly’s new megafactory in Sweden impacted timelines. Despite this, the collaboration was effective, and progress towards the commercialization of a residential energy storage device using zinc-ion batteries continues.
