The German Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR) funds research on advancing the latest battery systems (e.g. lithium-ion batteries) as well as potentially important new battery technologies that are typically too early in their development for private-sector investment.

The first call for its latest research initiative for battery technologies, “Battery Materials for Future Mobile and Stationary Applications – Battery 2020“ started in August 2014, the second in February 2016, the third in October 2017 under a slightly modified name: “Battery Materials for Future Mobile, Stationary, and Other Industrially Relevant Applications – Battery 2020“, and the fourth in July 2020.

Since then, 112 research projects plus 2 associated research projects from consortia between research facilities and/or industries have been granted funding. Those projects address one of the following topics. Please click the links to find brief descriptions of some example projects.
