There are real challenges with waste streams—they yield a lot of sulfuric acid and sodium sulfate, which will need to get landfilled. There’s a company in England that announced they’re going to build a hydrochemical processing facility that will produce around a hundred thousand tons of sodium sulfate annually as a byproduct.

Major manufacturers will release new models of heavy-duty trucks and delivery vans. The batteries that use sodium instead of the pricey and rare lithium are the ones that are the closest to being on the market. Making the conversion to electric vehicles is becoming more and more appealing as a result of all these causes.
