Air Liquide and BASF have signed a new long-term contract for the supply of oxygen and nitrogen to one of BASF’s largest and most innovative European sites, located in Schwarzheide, Germany. Air Liquide will invest around 40 million euros in the construction of a state-of-the-art Air Separation Unit (ASU) at this flagship site for the […]
Molten salt metal air battery could electrify transportation
Researchers have designed a rechargeable molten salt metal air battery that may provide an alternative to lithium-ion batteries and could help accelerate the shift to electrified transportation. Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries can lose energy over time and under certain conditions they overheat while working or charging, which can degrade battery life and reduce miles per charge. […]
U.K. on Cusp of Battery Boom to Boost Renewable Power Supply
Developers of batteries in the U.K. have projects on the go that would increase the country’s capacity more than 14 times what it is today. Batteries are crucial to complement renewable power by storing electricity from wind and solar farms. As the U.K. works to quadruple its offshore wind farm capacity this decade, the growing […]
The Battery Is Ready to Power the World
After a decade of rapidly falling costs, the rechargeable lithium-ion battery is poised to disrupt industries Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries were first commercially used in hand-held camcorders in 1991. Laptops soon followed. A decade later, batteries enabled the rise of tech titans such as Apple Inc. by powering smartphones and wearable devices, then made their way […]
Zinc-ion batteries could reach higher energy densities by avoiding a traditional anode
Revel, the company best known for electric-moped sharing, says it is about to embark in a new direction by launching one of the largest hubs for quickly charging electric vehicles in New York City this spring. The facility will be located at the site of the former Pfizer building in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and would have […]

Fishermen adopt the use of solar lamps on lake to boost catch
As the sun sets over the waters of Lake Victoria in Usenge Beach, Siaya County, the soft sound of the lapping waves is drowned by the hum of motorboats splitting the oranges and blues of the twilight sky. At first only one or two appear, but soon the few become many, a fleet spreading over […]
Two lithium battery plants to come up in Karnataka
Two lithium battery manufacturing plants will be started in the State with the objective of promoting e-vehicles and reducing air pollution, said Deputy Chief Minister C.N. Ashwath Narayan here on Saturday. He launched an e-vehicle rally, organised by the Rotary Club, at the Vidhana Soudha and said two units would be established in the Hubballi […]
Debut of the Solar Energy and Flow Battery Combination Amidst Increasing Energy Storage System Solutions
Numerous power plants have chosen to work with energy storage systems in order to store the excess power of renewable energy and achieve stable power grids, including the common and the rapid responding lithium ion battery energy storage system, though there are additional choices, such as pairing up solar and tidal power plants with vanadium […]
EV Battery Company Gegadyne Raises $5 Mn From V-Guard
EV Battery Startup Gegadyne Raises $5 Mn From V-Guard Gegadyne claims to have developed ‘game-changing’ and eco-friendly alternatives to conventional lithium-ion batteries Gegadyne’s batteries charge from 0 to 100% in around 15 minutes, unlike lithium-ion batteries that take hours to charge This investment will enable the startup to scale up operations and further enhance research […]
