Morocco’s Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P) will organize the 13th International Conference on Advanced Lithium Batteries for Automobile Applications (ABAA-13) from October 16-19 in Marrakech.

The international organizing committee of this conference is composed of crucial scientific figures that will elaborate on the latest trends and the next generation of technologies, system design & safety and degradation mechanisms, related to Lithium-ion batteries and Energy Storage systems.

Climate Change Puts Energy Security at Risk

The ABAA-13 conference will help Morocco reinforce its position in the energy sustainability field, accompanied by world-renowned partners, and provide accessible, scalable and clean mobility solutions.

This initiative aims to not only take the university and Morocco to the frontline of the MENA scene, but also to the international one.

According to a study of the Clean Energy Institute of the University of Washington, Lithium batteries have one of the highest energy densities of any battery technology today, while Li-ion battery cells can deliver up to 3.6 Volts, 3 times higher than technologies such as Ni-Cd or Ni-MH.

Lithium batteries are able to provide enough energy for high-power applications. Moreover, the energy stored by lithium is the principal source supporting today’s best electric cars fuel, such as the Tesla Model S.
