The operating life of the batteries is a major factor in the reliability and cost of energy storage systems such as those used as backup power supplies or for the reduction of generated power fluctuations from renewable energy sources. Current Lithium-Ion batteries however have other disadvantages: * Protection required – Lithium-ion cells and batteries are not as...Continue Reading
A battery that has a life time of 1.000.000 cycles (or 45 years), does not burn, has a fast charge & discharge rate… This patented technology is about to replace Lithium batteries. The batteries will be release in Q1 2021 and distributed in different sizes. The first models will be targeted for industrial applications (rack-format)...Continue Reading
To reach its climate goals, energy storage becomes paramount in Europe’s energy strategy. Asia is currently leading the pack in battery innovations but Europe is catching up gradually, and has to, to act independently in this important pillar of the economy. Source : EuroporterContinue Reading
Manufacturing Them Leaves Massive Carbon Footprint Once in operation, electric cars certainly reduce your carbon footprint, but making the lithium-ion batteries could emit 74% more CO2 than for conventional cars. Just to build each car battery—weighing upwards of 500 kilograms (1,100 pounds) in size for sport-utility vehicles—would emit up to 74% more C02 than producing...Continue Reading
