To dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions and meet ambitious climate goals, we must invest now in scaling electrolyzer manufacturing and green hydrogen production to create a viable zero-emissions ecosystem. We believe green hydrogen will be critical to a decarbonized future, particularly for hard-to-abate sectors.
This process eliminates the acid-leaching of spodumene and the production sodium sulfate waste, which will make Tennessee Lithium one of the world’s most sustainable lithium hydroxide operations, according to the company.
This work is significant as salinity already affects over 20% of the world's agricultural soils, and salinity poses an increasing threat to food production due to climate change. The salt-tolerant gene (known as TmHKT1;5-A) works by excluding sodium from the leaves. Richard James and University of Adelaide student Bo Xu.
CO 2 capture from emission sources is an attractive option for mitigating climate change, but it is an expensive process that harvests a product without commercial value. The research was supported by NASA and the Global Climate and Energy Project. Ripatti et al. 2018.10.007.
Sodium-ion batteries have an equivalent climate impact as their lithium-ion counterparts – without the risk of running out of raw materials. The post Upscaling sodium-ion batteries could prevent a critical minerals shortage appeared first on Innovation News Network.

The three parties consider green hydrogen as vital for reaching climate targets and building a more circular economy—e.g., The recently presented Dutch Climate Law sets a CO 2 reduction target of 49% by 2030 compared to 1990. by combining it with emissions from steel manufacture to make new products.
Researchers from George Washington University and Vanderbilt University have demonstrated the conversion of atmospheric CO 2 into carbon nanofibers (CNFs) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) for use as high-performance anodes in both lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries. times above that of sodium-ion batteries with graphite electrodes.
Yadea , which has claimed the title of the worlds largest electric vehicle maker for seven years running, has just announced a new electric motorbike powered by the companys innovative HuaYu sodium-ion battery technology. But sodium-ion batteries offer many benefits over traditional lithium-ion batteries.
In this process, brine water is pumped into shallow ponds for one-year-long solar evaporation to precipitate out the chlorides and sulfates of K + , Na + , Mg 2+ and Ca 2+ and then treated with excess lime to remove magnesium and finally with sodium carbonate to produce the insoluble lithium carbonate.
But a new way to firm up the world’s electricity grids is fast developing: sodium-ion batteries. Sodium-ion batteries: pros and cons Energy storage collects excess energy generated by renewables, stores it then releases it on demand, to help ensure a reliable supply. Sodium ions are bigger and heavier than lithium ions.

Ultimately, it contradicts the very concept of electric vehicles being an environmentally-friendly and climate-change-favorable type of transport, Nornickel said. Nornickel revised its forecast for a nickel market surplus in 2023 from 110 kt to more than 200 kt, with the bulk of this coming from low-grade nickel.
Sodium ion batteries (SIBs, also known as Na ion batteries or NIBs) have been on the horizon for a while but they weren’t expected to be mature enough for cars for some time yet. SIBs are benign, containing no lithium or cobalt, and sodium is abundant worldwide. Overall, SIBs are around 30% cheaper than lithium ion.
The Motiv system features a TM4 electric drivetrain with 250 kW and 2,300 N·m peak motor and a 127 kWh sodium-nickel battery system. The eMSIL joins other mobile medical initiatives at UCLA Health including a Mobile Stroke Unit, a Mobile Eye Clinic, and the Mobile Clinic Project serving homeless and low-income individuals.
EPA cited the Skyonics Skymine project as an example of captured CO 2 being used in the production of carbonate products—in this case, sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate.
Chloride is the common element in many different types of salts such as sodium chloride (table salt) and calcium chloride (commonly used for road salt). We have made dramatic improvements to acid rain and air quality, and we’re trying to address climate change this way.
The methodology applies to ultramafic rock-hosted mining operations worldwide, is easily scalable, and can be combined with chemical enhancement and subsequent ex-situ carbonation steps to maximize CO 2 sequestration and critical mineral yield to combat climate change and secure the US critical mineral supply. Idaho National Laboratory.
nestled in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, the nuclear energy firm TerraPower plans to retrofit an existing coal plant with a sodium fast reactor. However, there is one project that has made some headway. In Kemmerer, Wyo., The firm is planning to start building its reactor around 2026, hoping to deliver power by decade’s end.
They are also more likely to be affected by adverse weather conditions, especially in colder climates. They do have their disadvantages, especially in terms of energy density, which means less power and range with EVs that utilize these packs. Tesla is just one of the companies working to use LFP cells.
Another approach under development is adding lithium salt to the electrolyte of lithium-ion batteries to reduce flammability. By reducing the use of hard-to-mine and scarce minerals while accelerating the adoption of EVs, battery technology delivers significant promises for reducing carbon emissions and helping to recharge the planet.
Jignesh said, “We’re thrilled to be partnering with Sandiip Bhammer – a veteran clean-tech investor and Founder of early-stage India climate fund Green Frontier Capital. Jignesh is a former CEO at American Lithium Energy and has held executive leadership roles at Hitachi, Intel, and Western Digital.
Professor Figge from Queen’s University Management School said: “Economic crisis, energy crisis, climate crisis and recent global developments have affected the automobile industry like few other sectors. Its sodium oxide value contributions show the worst level of resource efficiency in the entire study.
Therefore, EVs remain a key focus area for India’s efforts to combat air pollution, reduce dependence on fossil fuels, and achieve its climate change goals. They are also required to make a mandatory investment of Rs 225 crore per GWh for committed capacity within two years.
This chemically rearranges seawater molecules (hydrogen, oxygen, and sodium chloride) based on their constituent ions charge, resulting in the production of an acid (hydrochloric acid) and a base (sodium hydroxide). The softened water passes through the electrodialysis unit, which applies a voltage.

Due to this reason, Hyundai Motor, Kia, and Next Hydrogen are looking to improve the price competitiveness of clean hydrogen in consideration of regional climate and environmental characteristics. Alkaline water electrolysis systems electrolyze water using an alkaline electrolyte such as potassium hydroxide (KOH) or sodium hydroxide (NaOH).
Removing them typically involves toxic reagents such as hydrofluoric acid, nitric acid, or sodium hydroxide. Separating the silver conductors also proves challenging because they’re applied in a very thin layer–about 10 to 20 micrometers–that is strongly attached to the silicon. The team at 9-Tech addresses these challenges in two ways.
9,10,11,12] LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) and Sodium-Ion battery packs will not use Cobalt and Nickel. So Indian battery cell manufacturers can easily procure Iron, Phosphate, Silicon and Sodium from the Indian Mining industry or from recycling centers. In LFP packs, Iron, Lithium and Phosphate is used in the Cathode of the cell.
Then there are the new battery chemistries that are not lithium based—for instance, sodium-ion and graphene-based batteries. Other announcements involve significant improvements in rapidly charging lithium-based batteries and making them safer for use in military vehicles.
As IEA executive director Fatih Birol observes , “Today, the data shows a looming mismatch between the world’s strengthened climate ambitions and the availability of critical minerals that are essential to realizing those ambitions.”. This mismatch worries automakers.
