LOMARTOV recently participated in the second General Assembly of the SOLVE project, hosted by Fraunhofer IKTS in Dresden, Germany. During this productive two-day meeting, partners had the chance to reflect on project progress, discuss challenges openly, and brainstorm future steps. But one of the highlights was an interactive workshop led by LOMARTOV’s Alberto González, which focused on the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology guiding the sustainability work of the project.

SOLVE is a Horizon Europe-funded project dedicated to the development of next-generation All-Solid-State Battery cells that are safer, faster-charging, and manufactured with sustainability and circularity at their core.

LCA as a foundation for sustainable innovation

In the workshop, Alberto walked partners through LOMARTOV’s LCA approach, designed to provide a comprehensive view of the environmental impact of battery technologies across their entire lifecycle — from raw materials and manufacturing to usage and end-of-life. This work is essential not only for assessing environmental performance but also for guiding the project’s ecodesign strategy. By identifying key impact areas early, the consortium can make informed decisions that improve the sustainability profile of the new battery systems.

LOMARTOV’s role in SOLVE

As part of our contribution to SOLVE, LOMARTOV leads efforts in:

  • Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
  • Ecodesign support to steer development toward circular and low-impact pathways
  • Sustainability guidelines that align with EU Green Deal objectives

At LOMARTOV, we believe that breakthrough battery technologies must be designed for sustainability from the start. By working closely with technical partners, we ensure that environmental performance is not an afterthought, but a central innovation driver.

A model for responsible R&D

As consortium partners, at LOMARTOV we believe that workshops like this help bridge the gap between technical excellence and environmental responsibility, creating space for shared understanding, knowledge exchange, and cross-disciplinary collaboration.

We’re proud to support SOLVE in its mission to deliver safer, high-performing, and truly sustainable energy storage technologies for Europe’s clean energy future.
