Aqua Metals has a pilot line up and running, and is selling materials to customers in the metals industry. Aqua Metals works with companies that are really good at collecting, safely transporting, storing, crushing and separating spent lithium-ion batteries. But one of the things the pyro process doesn’t recover is lithium.

In North America, a high-profile hybrid locomotive product faced a serious setback in the mid-2000s (the Green Goat from Railpower) that still haunts the industry today. Hybrid locomotives are an emerging alternative to these approaches that utilized stored energy from batteries.

We need new storage technologies if more renewables are to be used on the electrical grid; similarly, the electrification of transport requires much cheaper and longer-lasting batteries. They call for the launch of significant research efforts in the field in order to develop such passive, non-destructive and usable in-industry methods.

After years of anticipation, sodium-ion batteries are starting to deliver on their promise for energy storage. But so far, their commercialization is limited to large-scale uses such as storing energy on the grid. Sodium-ion batteries just don't have the oomph needed for EVs and laptops.

The shelf-life of stored charge in rechargeable devices does not scale linearly with maximum SP and has led to trends referred to as ‘range-anxiety’, ‘compulsive charging’, etc. This limits the current application of RFBs to backup in grid balancing; they are not being widely considered for mobile applications.

Meanwhile, the EV charging industry continues to innovate and attract new investment. Smart EV charging delivers reliable, safe, renewable, and cost-effective energy to EVs while meeting the needs of drivers and local grids. It depends on sophisticated back-end software that captures data from EVs, networked chargers, and the grid.
