Solvay is investing at its Livorno, Italy site to launch the company’s first unit of circular highly dispersible silica (HDS) made with bio-based sodium silicate derived from rice husk ash (RHA). Rice husk is an abundantly available agricultural waste. Combustion of rice husk produces RHA, which consists mainly of silica (silicon dioxide, SiO 2 ). Studies have found that pre-treatment of rice husk prior to combustion can deliver purer silica.

Electric car batteries are a crucial component in the development of electric vehicles (EVs) and have seen significant advancements in recent years. For example the volumetric energy density of lithium-ion batteries has increased eightfold since 2008, from around 55 watt-hours/litre to 450 watt-hours/litre in 2020. At the same time the cost of lithium-ion battery packs declined 87% between 2008 and 2021.
