Juan Pablo Esquivel Bojórquez, Ikerbasque Research Associate at BCMaterials, presents the EDNA research project, funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation, though the ‘Generación de conocimiento’ programme.

The objective of project EDNA is the ecodesign, integration and characterization of biodegradable secondary Na-ion batteries. EDNA plans to implement a tailor-to-the-application strategy, meaning that the developed batteries’ life cycle will be coupled with the device they are powering, i.e. devices for precision agriculture. In this sense, the batteries are being designed, prototyped and tested according to the requirements of agricultural applications, adapting the energy and power requirements; and hence, the type and amount of materials. Furthermore, EDNA will ensure the implementation of cost and energy-efficient manufacturing methods and will validate the suitability for decentralized battery production, thus minimizing the environmental impact associated to the manufacturing and distribution life cycle stages.

BCMaterials takes part in this project, along with the following partners in the consortium:
UPV/EHU
UNIVERSITAT AUTONOMA DE BARCELONA
GAIKER
