Meet the partners: Vrije Universiteit Brussel - EVERGi

“As leader of the WP on Life cycle assessment and recycling, we will support partners in optimizing the carbon footprint of the cell materials, during the design phase. We also assess the future environmental, economic, and social impacts of the developed cobalt-free hybrid solid-state cells. This progress is made possible through the collaboration and commitment of all the partners.”

EVERGi focuses on developing holistic models that include all aspects of the energy and mobility sector for an integrated approach: Electricity, mobility, heat, cooling, water, data, hydrogen, e-fuels, among other. EVERGI has a special attention for the inclusion of key technologies to enable the energy transition such as electric powertrains for vehicles, automation, bidirectional charging infrastructure, digitalisation, Internet-of-Energy, artificial intelligence (machine learning) and several types of assessment. Different levels can be assessed: from specific technological developments to large scale deployment and system consequences. Prospective LCA is also one of the strengths of the group, including process upscaling and temporal developments. Not only capable of performing an environmental LCA, EVERGi can also focus on social LCA, in conjunction with economic assessment.

EVERGi is leading WP9 “Life cycle assessment and recycling”. Their amazing team is composed by Maarten Messagie, Maeva Lavigne Philippot, and and Léa D’amore.
