Energy storage: the key to a decarbonised future

Setec Powerr

We are transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources such as wind and solar, and the use of energy storage is becoming more widespread. Others solid battery types are nickel-cadmium and sodium-sulphur, while zinc-air is emerging. SETEC POWER is keenly aware of market demand and industry changes.

Aqua Metals is building a more sustainable battery recycling ecosystem

Charged EVs

Aqua Metals has a pilot line up and running, and is selling materials to customers in the metals industry. That’s not to say that over the coming years, as we build a brand-new closed-loop recycling industry, that that doesn’t start to verticalize a little bit more. But one of the things the pyro process doesn’t recover is lithium.

Hydro-Québec and Technifin form partnership to license lithium titanate spinel oxide (LTO) technologies for Li-ion battery applications

Green Car Congress

The first group, the Technifin patents, cover the basic use in lithium-ion cells of the LTO anodes invented in 1994 by Dr. Michael Thackeray (currently an Argonne Distinguished Fellow at the US Argonne National Laboratory) while at the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) in South Africa.

Promising EV Trends to Lookout For in 2023

Get Electric Vehicle

In this article let us look at some of the trends that are being caught in the EV industry now and for the years to come. The batteries that use sodium instead of the pricey and rare lithium are the ones that are the closest to being on the market.

MIT and Moscow State collaborating on advanced batteries, metal-air batteries and reversible fuel/electrolysis cells

Other work focuses on sodium as an earth-abundant alternative to lithium, but while it could lower cost, sodium ions also carry just a single charge. Because solar and wind energy are intermittent, producing energy only when the sun shines or the wind blows, a method to capture and store energy for later use is needed.
