NOVONIX Anode Materials LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of NOVONIX Limited, was formed in 2017. Such a plant would feed a 50,000 metric ton per year conversion plant to produce battery grade lithium hydroxide to support domestic manufacturing of the lithium-ion battery cells to power 750,000 electric vehicles per year.

Cellulases (enzymes) deconstruct lignocellulosic biomass for conversion to biofuels such as cellulosic ethanol and biochemicals. However, lignin, an organic polymer in biomass that binds to and strengthens plant fibers, inactivates the cellulase enzymes via non-productive binding interactions. Whitehead, Chandra K. 7b01202.

Combing these benefits with a low-cost precursor currently in development, the result can be a carbon fiber product that is 40% less expensive to manufacture than current commercial products. Oxidation is the most time-consuming phase of the multistep carbon fiber conversion process.

The drive unit’s high efficiency means low costs of ownership: Fuel costs compared with an equivalent gasoline engine are much lower, at around €4 (US $4.70) per 100 kilometers (62.1 mi) (Germany, as of: August 2017). In gasoline mode, these figures are 5.6 liters per 100 kilometers (42.0 seconds (A4 Avant g-tron: 8.5
