With the Orion project, Limatech wishes to accelerate the market launch of its 28V lithium battery range, enabling it to address the largest aeronautic battery market, replace toxic batteries, and generate savings of 1M tons of Co2 within the next 8 years. Limatech develops lithium batteries for cleaner yet safe energy that can revolutionize the aviation sector. Led by a female CEO, Limatech originates from the CEA (French national research laboratory) and benefits from the expertise of an experienced researcher. At a time of commitment to fighting pollution, and the use of toxic products in particular, European directive 2006/66/EC encourages the replacement of dangerous substances in batteries (Cadmium & Lead) by less polluting products. Lithium batteries are currently one of the most relevant responses for replacing these harmful substances. They are also 3 times lighter, last twice as long and require little maintenance. Limatech has succeeded in meeting the challenge of securing lithium batteries for aviation, by developing protective electronics that integrate all the safety functions required with exceptional reliability and precision. Awarded the Airbus Aeronautical Innovation Award in 2019, the technology is now being demonstrated in a real environment and several patents have been filed. The Lithium starter battery is a first strategic step, which will then help decarbonize aviation via the transition to hybrid or electrically-powered aircraft. This innovative technology is highly anticipated by key players in the aviation industry, as it represents a real challenge for European technological sovereignty. Targeting the global market for low-voltage aeronautic batteries, estimated at 850 M€/year, Limatech has already generated significant interest from major European clients. Through the EIC project and our unique selling points, we offer our clients a return on investment in under 1 year and contribute to their carbon reduction objectives. ver más
