Dienstag, den 18. Juni 2019 ab 13:30 Uhr in Kleve.
ROCKET Reloaded ist das Nachfolgeprojekt von ROCKET (RegiOnal Collaboration on Key Enabling Technologies).
Das Projekt fördert die Zusammenarbeit zwischen Wirtschaft und Wissenschaft im deutsch-niederländischen
Grenzgebiet zwischen Nordsee und Niederrhein zur Stärkung von Forschung, technologischer Entwicklung
und Innovation. Neben der Vorstellung der aktuellen Innovationsprojekte werden die Möglichkeiten für
Unternehmen erläutert, neue Innovationsprojekte zu starten.
Datum: Dienstag, 18. Juni 2019
Zeit: 14:00 – 17:30 Uhr
Registrierung: 13:30 Uhr
Ort: Euregio-Forum Kleve
Emmericher Straße 24
47533 Kleve

The aim of MBN is to offer new technological
solutions to Powder Metal industry, supporting
customers to improve quality and to innovate
products, helping them to gain competitiveness in
the market.
Products of MBN are innovative powder materials solutions,
which often represent alternative material systems to existing
products.
Thanks to our scientific and technological facilities and
technology, MBN Nanomaterialia develops tailor-made
materials suitable to solve complex technological problems.
Through its own technology, MBN produces a new
generation of ”nanostructured” materials, which

NRW and Europe
Organised at the regional or national level, the aim is to provide
easy access to pilot facilities or open innovation
testbeds, which should focus on industrial
application of new technologies, cover the full
range of value chain services (including services for
modelling, characterisation, safety and business liaison activities)
and provide open access.

for an innovative KET-based industry
Cidetec is an organization for applied research that integrates three
international reference institutes in the fields of energy storage, surface
engineering and nanomedicine.

CIDETEC is located in the Basque Country, one of the regions
with the highest rates of progress and well-being in Europe and
characterized by a solid industrial tradition that currently
represents a quarter of its productive endeavour. It also counts
on a self-government system that allows it to establish its own
economic and fiscal policies.

A central challenge is the integration of the individual technologically diverse process steps
into a robust production chain.
Machine plant manufacturer has expertise in the production process step
Suppliers of machinery equipment
along the process chain of battery cell production
The production chain of a lithium-ion battery cell includes a large number
of technologically very different process steps.
Companies focus on individual process steps or sub-process chains on
the basis of their existing competencies.
There is no machine and plant manufacturer with expertise along
the entire process chain of battery cell production.
The production process of lithium-ion battery cells is highly automated.
A multitude of interdependencies and different interfaces exist between
the individual process steps or machines plants.
An overall understanding of the system and experience are
required for the establishment and operation of competitive
battery cell production.

PEM Cost Model
Cost structure of a battery cell produced in Germany
100% ~ 95 €/kWh
The comparison between the costs of approx. 90 €/kWh and
the market price of approx. 95 €/kWh for battery cells shows:
The production of battery cells in Germany is profitably
possible.
On the assumption that the cost of the material and
production equipment does not differ significantly from
country to country, it can be established that there are no
significant differences in the cost of the material and
production equipment from country to country:
A large part of the costs is location-independent.

Reduction Targets are key motivation for electric mobility Why
Fossil fuel use generates local
pollutants such as nitrogen
oxides, which have negative
health impacts
Global warming is caused by the
burning of fossil fuels
The worlds global oil resources
are finite
Global oil prices are expected to
rise over the next years
Oil is primarily produced in
politically unstable regions

reduction targets
Compared to 1990 greenhouse
gas emissions should be reduced
by 40% by 2030
Government promotes electric vehicles in order to meet reduction targets:
Incentives are provided to boost demand for electric vehicles

Limitations of Battery Electric Vehicles What
https://hydrogeneurope.eu/
https://hydrogeneurope.eu/hydrogen-applications
Battery Electric Vehicles bear several disadvantages for commercial vehicle application: Especially the price,
weight, capacity and charging time constrain the use for long-range and heavy-duty use cases.

Batteries bear several disadvantages for
commercial vehicle applications
High vehicle idle times due to range limitation
and long charging time
Limited freight capacity due to battery weight
and size1
GHG emissions for long distance trips exceed
those of alternative powertrain solutions2
Fixed battery prices result in high long-range-
vehicle costs
Long range buses and trucks are exemplary use
cases where the disadvantages of BEV are
compensated by the advantages of FCEVs

Costs of BEV and FCEV
Source: [HYD17]
The used of FCEV in the commercial vehicle is more advantageous than the used of BEV in terms of the price.
The future cost reduction of the fuel cell technology can make the FCEV more attractive.

Forming of metallic bipolar plates
Metallic BPPs need to be coated to avoid
corrosion and decrease contact resistance
Different approaches for MEA lamination
are available which include coating
Coating needs to be as thin as possible
while also being robust
The IPT can provide expertise with coating
methods, equipment and quality control
