CHARGE - Powering Green Transition
Driving forward Europe's electrification
Global demand for batteries is increasing rapidly. The EU is responsible for 17% of global demand. With nine partners from seven European countries, CHARGE is building strong battery ecosystems through knowledge sharing, collaboration and a shared commitment to sustainable development. Together, we are driving Europe's clean energy future - one battery at a time.
About the project
CHARGE is an EU-wide initiative to promote an innovative, safe and sustainable battery policy in support of the new EU Battery Regulation. As batteries are at the heart of the green transition - from storing renewable energy to powering electric vehicles - CHARGE is helping to build a low-carbon circular economy across Europe.
By bringing together key stakeholders from across the battery value chain, CHARGE supports smarter regional and interregional policy development. The project brings together policy makers, companies and research institutes to foster innovation, improve recycling and reuse practices and accelerate market access for new battery technologies.
CHARGE focuses on promoting interregional learning and cooperation. It helps regions to share best practices, solve local energy and mobility problems and strengthen their capacity to innovate and comply with EU regulations. Whether it's reducing emissions through green logistics or enabling a circular battery economy, CHARGE empowers regions to lead the way.

Was macht CHARGE genau – und wer ist beteiligt?
Das neue Einführungsvideo gibt einen kompakten Überblick über die Ziele des Projekts, die beteiligten europäischen Regionen und die gemeinsamen Aktivitäten im Bereich nachhaltiger Batteriepolitik, Kreislaufwirtschaft und Innovation.
Interregional cooperation
Learning visits are carried out in the partner regions over the course of the project. Intermediaries and stakeholders in the field of battery recycling will be networked and informed about current developments. In this way, all partners can benefit from developments and know-how in other European countries.
Is your company or institution active in the battery ecosystem and can you imagine benefiting from networking with our European partners?
