The Battery Innovation Research Excellence Cluster is an interdisciplinary research team working to create robust and sustainable battery technology to help accelerate the net-zero transition in Canada.
Canada’s ambitious climate target—to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050—is a commitment that will support a brighter, greener future for all Canadians. Our research team recognizes that batteries play a significant role in the future of renewable, clean energy, which is a key part of achieving this climate goal.
To fight against climate change and reduce emissions, we are taking a holistic approach to creating renewable all-solid-state lithium batteries that meet the increasing demand for environmentally responsible energy sources. This technology has the potential to outperform current batteries with more power capacity packed into a smaller, safer design with a longer lifespan, supporting the move away from an economy that relies heavily on fossil fuels.
