Sodium-ion batteries are set to spark a renewable energy revolution – and Australia must be ready – ET Auto

Baua Electric

Solar and wind are clearly now the cheapest form of electricity. The challenges posed by solar and wind generators are real. But a new way to firm up the world’s electricity grids is fast developing: sodium-ion batteries. Sodium-ion batteries are now almost ready to fill the long-term storage gap.

Aqua Metals is building a more sustainable battery recycling ecosystem

Charged EVs

The economic benefits of recycling Li-ion batteries are clear, but at present, only a small percentage of them are recycled. In contrast, lead-acid batteries have a 99% recycling rate in the US. The two main processes for recycling lithium-ion batteries are pyrometallurgy and hydrometallurgy.

Debunking the Lithium "Mining" FUD

Plug In India

The reality is these mines are not even in use by the battery industry and they are not Lithium Mines. Using low-carbon fuels or biofuels as the source of heat energy to process lithium and manufacture li-ion batteries would cut carbon emissions by half as per world banks study. [4] tons of GHG (greenhouse gasses) per electric car [3].

Top Factors Affecting EV Adoption

EV Connect

But as better battery algorithms and new cooling technologies enter the market, expect charging times to come down (and “range anxiety” levels among drivers to drop accordingly). However, market competition, falling battery prices and government incentives are pushing the cost of EVs to parity with gasoline.
