Battery Cluster Portugal
Description: Vasco da Gama CoLAB is a Portuguese collaborative laboratory for the research and development of energy storage solutions. VG CoLAB develops innovative energy storage technologies through functional prototypes, focusing on battery cell scale-up, battery modules, and power electronics.
Vasco da Gama CoLAB is a collaborative laboratory, supported by the Portuguese Agencies for Science and Technology (FCT) and Innovation (ANI). VG CoLAB was established in 2019 in Porto as a non-profit private association, and the associates include public and private partners from academia and industry.
VG CoLAB develops innovative system-oriented technological solutions applying energy storage to enable the energy transition. Fuelled by industrial and services sectors, it delivers mid-TRL prototypes and business support services scaling up relevant and novel scientific research findings.
It is positioned in the centre of the electrochemical energy storage value chain, developing innovation activities, such as pro totypes , proto-products of Hybrid Energy Storage Systems, and other high-valued services to associates and partners. VG CoLAB works with Sodium-ion batteries (SIB) – being re sponsible for the first sodium-ion cell in Portugal, and currently creating a pilot production line to test sodium-ion batteries –, redox flow batteries, supercapacitors, battery pack and module assembly, a
