Benchmark: global battery industry needs to invest $514B to meet demand in 2030; $920B by 2035

Green Car Congress

This includes spending on renewables such as wind and solar as well as grid and other infrastructure. To put the scale of the lithium challenge into context, more lithium will be needed in 2030 than was mined between 2015 and 2022, according to Benchmark’s Lithium Forecast. trillion in 2022, IRENA said.

Connected Energy and Renault to collaborate on energy storage and EV charging technology; second-life batteries in E-STOR

Green Car Congress

With increasing EV sales—97,687 EVs were sold in Europe in 2015, up 48% on 2014—so is the requirement in energy to charge them. This can be used, for example, to store energy generated from on-site renewable generation resources such as solar panels and wind turbines, and then release it as needed at a later time.

GWU team demonstrates one-pot process for optimized synthesis of controlled CNTs from CO2; coupling cement and C2CNT

Green Car Congress

Until recently, CNTs had not been produced at low energies, nor had they been produced in high yield from CO 2. In 2015 we introduced the efficient transformation splitting of CO 2 by electrolysis in molten carbonates to form carbon nanotubes and nanofibers at high yield. Licht (2017).
