Elkem has received NOK 10 million in financial support from Enova to fund the initial planning of the potential large-scale battery materials plant in Norway, named Northern Recharge.

STAR BURST™ is a wet jet pulverizing device/high pressure homogenizer utilizing Sugino's original water jet technology.

Electric vehicle powertrains are much more materially diverse than the internal-combustion engine vehicles they replace. As a result, they are putting sudden and unprecedented strain on several raw materials industries.

Most legacy car makers need 15 years to switch to battery electric without collapsing. To keep their ICE cars legal and desirable, 50 are urgently upgrading them to 48V mild hybrids and many plan 48V full hybrids by a further upgrade. Peak sales $500 billion?

Air travel in cities is being strongly researched with about 200 companies developing vertical takeoff and landing VTOL aircraft. Almost all will fail because this is a very difficult, long term task in the face of inadequate batteries, tightening regulations and other impediments.

The world's first 'intelligent' electric vehicle battery was launched to the world by European EV battery producer, InoBat Auto (InoBat) in a groundbreaking announcement delivered by the company's CEO, Marian Bocek.

NAWA Technologies presents the Ultra Fast Carbon Electrode, a breakthrough nano-based innovation that unlocks next-level performance for all types of batteries, particularly those used by electric vehicles.

The new hybrid power system, which has been integrated with Aggreko's existing gas fired power station, is powered by more than 20,000 solar panels and supported by a 2 MW/1 MWh battery system. Once fully operational, it will reduce the mine's fuel consumption by 10-13% - the equivalent of removing 2,000 cars from the road.

IDTechEx attended 2 leading conferences on the impact of AI and autonomy for chemistry and materials science, from both R&D to production.

Hydro power from rivers is the largest zero-emission electricity producer but it is not usually in cities. In addition, it is becoming rather discredited because rivers dry up and the dams cannot be redeployed, they flood trees and vegetation which generates methane - a severe global warmer.

IDTechEx caught up with EnerG2's CEO Dr Kirill Bramnik.

In this first part of a series of articles from IDTechEx, an overview of the flow batteries characteristics is provided, extrapolated from IDTechEx's recent report "Redox Flow Battery 2020-2030: Forecast, Challenges, Opportunities".

Hyundai Motor Company will host a digital premiere event for the launch of XCIENT Fuel Cell, the world's first mass-produced fuel cell heavy-duty truck, at 10 a.m. KST on Oct. 14.

OCSiAl are leading producers of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). IDTechEx spoke with Nikolay Moskvitin (Senior Market Analyst).

Hino Trucks announced, Project Z, the company's development path to zero emissions vehicles, ranging from class 4 to class 8. The live virtual event showcased the most comprehensive line-up of zero emissions trucks, partnering with technology leaders in advanced electrification drive systems.

RWE continues to expand its renewables portfolio in North America, one of the company's strategy focus markets: Cranell wind farm, a 220-megawatt (MW) project, located in Refugio County, Texas, has achieved commercial operation.

Graphenano Group are graphene manufacturers and integrators. IDTechEx spoke with Martin A. de la Vega (CEO).

The rapid growth of the electric vehicle market has driven the development, manufacture and sales of batteries, especially lithium-ion batteries. In the meantime, a number of companies are betting on the next big energy storage technologies. Solid-state batteries are one of them.

In this introduction we look at many of the present and future issues with cities and we introduce some solutions.

The electricity market is evolving to allow a higher integration of variable energy sources and a new class of devices is approaching the market to satisfy this necessity.
