Vision & Mission | EMPHASIS

About

The European research project EMPHASIS focuses on developing next-generation supercapacitors (SCs) optimised for consumer use. Researchers pursue sustainable energy storage solutions in two areas that are paramount to cover the needs demanded by our modern lifestyle: electromobility and the emerging field of smart clothing.

EMPHASIS’ innovative approach will focus on developing novel materials derived from natural resources, improving design processes and advancing design architectures for energy storage solutions beyond the technical status quo.

Vision

By focusing on defining and generating a credible approach for next-generation supercapacitors using ‘green’ materials, EMPHASIS aim to boost the transition towards a novel climate-neutral energy system. The goal is to make great strides at all levels of the design process, which will provide viable solutions for high-energy/high-power density and safe storage devices.

Mission

EMPHASIS aspires to reach the technical and economic targets of the European Commission’s SET plan for 2030. By focusing on defining and generating a credible approach for next-generation supercapacitors using ‘green’ materials, EMPHASIS can boost the transition towards a novel climate-neutral energy system.
