Tenova is an Italian conglomerate that has developed direct lithium extraction (DLE) processes using solvent extraction technology. This profile will cover its technology and recent market and project developments.

SLB is an oil & gas multinational developing membrane-based technologies for direct lithium extraction (DLE).

The vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) technology is the most commercially deployed flow battery chemistry. However, high electrolyte costs have inhibited the wider market penetration of the technology, especially since Li-ion battery energy storage system (BESS) costs continue to fall. Vanadium electrolyte leasing models may help to reduce upfront cost to some degree, though the commercialization of cheaper, alternative flow battery chemistries will also drive global flow battery market growth. This article examines the current state of VRFBs and the evolving commercialization of alternative redox flow battery (RFB) technologies.

Beam Global is a provider of infrastructure solutions for electrification of transport and energy security. IDTechEx spoke to BeamGlobal to learn about its developments in AllCell phase change materials for thermal management and fire protection in EV applications.
