Turning the page to a new frontier for sodium battery production.
The EPISODE “European Produced sustaInable SODium-ion battEries for stationary applications” consortium will develop, characterise and upscale the production of efficient, resilient and cost-effective modular sodium-ion battery (SIB) systems suitable for household, industrial and grid-supporting stationary storage.
“European Produced sustaInable SODium-ion battEries for stationary applications” – EPISODE
EPISODE’s main mission is to develop Na-ion battery technologies at industrial mass manufacturing scale based on abundant available and low-cost materials. This technology will also be non-toxic, safe, recyclable and durable, with an attractive energy density and power metrics, close to those achieved by LiFePO 4 (LFP)-based batteries. EPISODE will lead to a Na-based modular battery product with favourable CAPEX, OPEX and carbon footprint, enabling energy storage applications, ranging from domestic installations (multiple units of 6.2 kWh/unit) to large utility installations (projection of multiple MWh).

of the total project.
EPISODE started at December 2024 and will run for 42 months.
6,597,981.39€
funding from the European Commission in Horizon Europe program.
and 2 affliliated entities from 7 different countries.
Episode partner UAH will host the 19th Society and Material Conference (SAM-19) on 6th and 7th of May, 2025
