Stanford team develops sodium-ion battery with performance equivalent to Li-ion, but at much lower cost

Green Car Congress

Stanford researchers have developed a sodium-ion battery (SIB) that can store the same amount of energy as a state-of-the-art lithium ion, at substantially lower cost. The rise of renewable solar and wind power is demanding sustainable storage technologies using components that are inexpensive, Earth-abundant and environmental friendly.

How Umicore is ensuring sustainability in the North American EV battery chain

Charged EVs

This is the case at our gigafactory in Europe, which relies on wind energy, and itā€™s also what we plan for our soon-to-come plant in Canada. Production at every single battery materials plant that weā€™re starting up will be powered by 100% renewable energy sources from day one. Third is the choice of raw materials.
