GreenSPEED therefore gives us valuable know-how for the further development of our technology and puts LeydenJar on the map among European automotive manufacturers.’ 3 Mins FebruThe Leyden jar is variously called a condenser or capacitor, and the reasons for those two names become obvious when one understands the logic of its operation. Christian Rood, CEO of LeydenJar: ‘In this project, we work together with leading partners in the European automotive ecosystem. The anodes increase energy density by 70%, lowers carbon emissions by 85% and holds fast charging capabilities. LeydenJar produces its silicon anodes in Eindhoven via a high-throughput plasma deposition process. And with the recent decision that all new cars sold in the EU from 2035 may not emit any CO 2, the demand will only increase. Demand for EV batteries is therefore high.
#LEYDEN JAR SERIAL#
The serial production of battery electric vehicles is in full swing. The application also reduces the CO 2 emissions from anode production by 85%, with potential further benefits of dry cathode electrode production. EV batteries with silicon anodes from LeydenJar give electric cars a much larger action radius. In addition to its unique silicon anode, LeydenJar is contributing sustainable production know-how.
In total, 11 parties are involved in greenSPEED. The consortium combines a mix of leading expertise from the automotive industry, specialised technology companies, research institutes and knowledge centres from Germany, France, the Netherlands, Austria and Luxembourg. The partnership project is known as greenSPEED and runs until 2025. LeydenJar is also closely involved in the integration. These will be integrated in the EV battery, with the other innovative battery components. LeydenJar develops and supplies the pure silicon anode foils. The project main target is developing a battery cell that aims at significantly increasing energy density while reducing energy consumption by almost a third and production costs up to 20% as compared to state-of-the-art Li-ion cells. Together with partners including BMW and VARTA, LeydenJar is working on the development of European-made sustainable batteries for electric vehicles (EVs).
