The FASTEST project aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by improving battery testing and development. It supports SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure) through advanced testing methods that create safer, longer-lasting batteries. By combining virtual and physical testing, the project reduces waste and resource use, aligning with SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production). Smart testing strategies, including digital twin technology, make battery research more efficient and environmentally friendly.
Additionally, the project aligns with SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy) and SDG 13 (Climate Action) by advancing clean energy solutions. By enhancing battery performance for electric vehicles, energy storage, and other applications, FASTEST promotes the transition to renewable energy. The use of innovative battery materials, such as solid-state and NMC/Si-C chemistries, leads to more efficient and sustainable energy solutions. These advancements support global efforts to reduce environmental impact and create a cleaner, more sustainable future.
