The world is in a chip-making crisis. But reasonably soon, the shortage will be over, and a very different, equally gargantuan opportunity will come into focus: We are going to need batteries — massive numbers of batteries. According to a forecast last week by BloombergNEF, a clean energy research firm, the world is going to require...Continue Reading
As we say goodbye to nuclear power plants, three new gas generators and battery storage will provide sufficient capacity and stability respectively on the Belgian electricity network. Source : De Standaard https://www.standaard.be/cnt/dmf20210430_94880867Continue Reading
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
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
