What is a Li-ion battery?What are the active materials inside?
• Anode (= negative)• graphite/carbon
• Separator• Ion permeable inert
membrane
• Cathode (= positive)• Lithium cobaltite and new
generation materials
• Electrolyte• Liquid or gel

During the charge : Li-ions move from cathode to anode
During the discharge : Li-ions move from anode to cathode

EU-based industry of Advanced Materials for clean energy & clean mobility in the EU economy
� Our industry keeps growing driven by EU and mostly foreign markets
� However the development of Advanced Materials remains a long, risky and capital-intensive process
� Umicore supports EMIRI’s advocacy on innovation in fie ld of Advanced Materials for clean energy & clean mobility (the Energy Materials Industrial Research Initiative is an industry-driven grouping of about 60 organizations contributing to shaping EU innovation policies impacting Advanced Materials for clean energy & clean mobility technologies)
� Any appropriate risk-sharing policies & instruments at EU level are more than welcome
EMIRI (the Energy Materials Industrial Research Initiative) is an industry-driven grouping of about 60 organizations contributing to shaping EU innovation policies impacting Advanced Materials for clean energy & clean mobility technologies
11
Collaboration between EMIRI and EU DG R&I led to increased support to Advanced Materialsfor clean energy & clean mobility in Horizon 2020
* EMERIT (Energy Materials for Europe – Research & Industry coming together) is EMIRI’s strategic innovation roadmap (available at www.emiri.eu)
Estimate for Horizon 2020NMBP work programme
� Advanced Materials for renewable energy (36%)
� Advanced Materials for energy storage (stationary & mobility) (35%)
� Advanced Materials for energy-performant buildings (21%)
� Advanced Materials for decarbonization(8%)

EU support still remains moderate in Horizon 2020 despite the key role of Advanced Materials andtheir contribution to EU economy
& But Why?> 50% ↑ ~ 50%
~ 15%
Share of Advanced Materialsin cost structure of clean energy & clean mobility technologies
Share of Advanced Materials industry in EU clean energy &clean mobility jobs
Share of Advanced Materials support in total EU Horizon 2020 funding(for 2018-2020) for clean energy
Without leadership in key enabling technologies suc h as Advanced Materials, EU will not maintain industrial leadership in clean energy & clean mobil ity technologies thereby ...
- Not delivering on Energy Union promises- Not generating the needed economic growth & jobs for citizens- Replacing dependence on fossil fuels from outside EU by dependence on imported technologies
