CHARGE – Powering Green Transition

Project summary

CHARGE focuses on policies that promote the innovative, safe and sustainable development, production, reuse and recycling of batteries, supporting the implementation of the new EU Batteries Regulation. This initiative aims to drive the transition to a low-carbon circular economy, with batteries playing a crucial role in storing renewable energy, powering electric vehicles and reducing fossil fuel reliance and carbon emissions.

Fostering a sustainable battery industry, and by engaging key stakeholders in the battery lifecycle, the project aims to develop regional and interregional policy solutions supporting the EU Batteries Regulation. CHARGE facilitates interregional exchange to identify good practices and novel solutions, improving policy instruments to enhance networking and collaboration among regional innovation actors, companies and research institutes, enabling them to enter international markets and develop new products and services.

The project is funded by the EU Interreg Europe Programme.
