Demand for battery metals is set to skyrocket in the coming years Battery minerals are vital for the clean energy transition. They power cost-effective, on-demand energy systems and are at the core of decarbonizing transportation. But battery-powered EVs have a major emissions challenge of their own: production of the batteries themselves is a highly carbon-intensive process. Indeed, producing the large lithium-ion batteries used to power EVs is the biggest source of embedded emissions for both electric cars and trucks, accounting for about 40 to 60 percent of total production emissions, according to McKinsey & Co estimation. In other words, making batteries can generate as much emissions as producing all the other materials that go into making an EV—or even more. As pressure to decarbonize increases and as demand for EVs picks up globally, manufacturers are racing to address this emissions challenge. The good news is that steep reductions in the carbon emissions from EV battery production are possible in the next five to ten years. #sustainable #sustainability #fonds #akiten #rohstoffe #vermögensverwaltung #kapitalanlage #assetmanagement #portfoliomanagement

BASF Halts Battery Project Amid Challenges in European EV Sector BASF announced on Friday, July 26, that it will pause its battery materials project until "cell capacity build-up and EV adoption rate in Europe regain momentum." This decision comes amidst a challenging environment for the European electric vehicle (EV) battery industry, characterized by delays and cancellations of key projects. Earlier this year, BASF had to suspend the development of its precursor battery materials plant in Harjavalta after the Vaasa Administrative Court's ruling on February 21. This delay reflects broader issues in the sector, where fluctuating battery metal prices and escalating project costs have dampened confidence. For instance, Li-Cycle's planned major operation in Rochester, New York, has experienced cost overruns. In Europe, the EV battery manufacturing landscape has been particularly volatile. Several proposed battery factories, including Italvolt and Britishvolt, have been cancelled, while projects such as the ACC plants in Germany and Italy have been put on hold. These setbacks have resulted in a lower than expected availability of input feedstock for recyclers, posing a significant challenge for the industry's growth. Despite the limited generation of battery scrap in Europe, the region has seen substantial investments in facilities to shred batteries and produce black mass—a precursor material for recycling. However, the operational capacity to process black mass into usable materials remains low. Many companies, including BASF, have only progressed to the pilot or demonstration stages in developing post-processing technologies. BASF, for instance, has initiated operations at a prototype metal refinery for lithium-ion battery recycling in Schwarzheide, Germany. The oversupply of materials in Europe has also led to lower payables for black mass compared to Asia. As of July 24, Fastmarkets reported that the payables for black mass containing nickel and cobalt in Europe were 55-60% of the London Metal Exchange (LME) nickel cash official price and Fastmarkets' standard-grade cobalt price, respectively. In contrast, the payables in Southeast Asia were higher, at 66-70% for both nickel and cobalt. These economic challenges underline the need for stronger market signals and infrastructure development to support the growing EV sector in Europe. BASF's decision to pause its project underscores the uncertain future of EV battery manufacturing and recycling in the region.

"In the energy transition, batteries play a crucial role. However, with the mining of critical metals, it is not always a sustainable solution. The startup Rivus Batteries wants to change that." Thank you Göteborgs-Posten for an in-depth article shining light on our work to develop truly green, metal-free batteries for large-scale stationary energy storage! Read the full article (in 🇸🇪): https://lnkd.in/duBH4eNF Some glimpses from the article: The demand for batteries is extensive in Sweden and globally, as companies and governments shift to sustainable alternatives. Rivus' organic flow batteries use organic molecules instead of critical metals like lithium and vanadium. Their technology has been demonstrated on a small scale and at the end of the year a pilot will be installed at HSB Living Lab together with Bengt Dahlgren AB, a Sweden-based engineering firm with 700 employees. - It’s exciting to be part of this project and learn about the new technology. We see potential applications for a range of projects, says Andreas Fränne, energy engineer from Bengt Dahlgren AB. - There are growing opportunities within large-scale energy storage, where the price pressure is big but where the scalability that flow batteries, of which Rivus’ metal-free batteries are a variant, offers a great advantage, says Patrik Johansson, Professor in Physics at Chalmers University of Technology. To bring their solution to the market Rivus' needs to raise additional investments. Despite the ongoing global economic headwinds, Rivus' CEO Cedrik Wiberg is optimistic for the future. - We aim to prove to investors that that our batteries have a long lifespan, between 15 and 20 years, and then scale up quickly.

Oxylus Energy raised a $4.5 million seed round led by Toyota Ventures and Azolla Ventures with participation from Earth Foundry and Connecticut Innovations. The funding will go toward building a production-scale reactor which the company hopes will help prove its aggressive price targets. Oxylus Energy’s technology bypasses the need for green hydrogen by using a cobalt-based catalyst to facilitate the chemical reaction needed to produce methanol. The catalyst sits inside an electrolyzer, which uses electricity to split water and carbon dioxide molecules. Once the hydrogen, oxygen and carbon atoms are separate, they combine to form methanol (CH3OH) and oxygen (O2). All of this happens at standard room temperature and pressure, helping to keep costs down. https://lnkd.in/eQ3M3Vxu

𝗦𝗼𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗽𝘆𝗿𝗼𝗹𝘆𝘀𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘆𝗰𝗹𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘂𝗺-𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗯𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗳 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁 One of the hurdles for #Concentrated #Solar #Thermal energy to decarbonize heat-based industrial processes is that most of these industries, from steel and cement making to chemicals and food processing, have been around for a hundred years or more, and fossil-fueled heat grew up with them over that century, and so fossil heat became the entrenched technology. But lithium-ion battery recycling using heat (pyro-metallurgy) presents an opportunity for concentrated solar heat to get in on the ground floor of a new industrial process and compete with fossil-fueled heat while both are at a more similar, relatively nascent stage. Pyro-metallurgy is one of the two ways batteries are being recycled. (The other uses chemicals, hydro-metallurgy). Research at PROMES CNRS laboratory, led by Gilles Flamant, has just confirmed the feasibility of a solar-driven pyro-metallurgical process to recycle the lithium, nickel, cobalt, and other valuable components from lithium-ion batteries. His teams at PROMES do groundbreaking work in industrial decarbonization with very high-temperature solar heat. #CSP
