Fastmarkets explores two key emerging battery chemistries and whether they have the ability to alleviate battery material supply challenges

China has increased the pace of developing vanadium redox flow battery projects in the past two years, and the trend is likely to last for the next few years, given that the battery appears to be a safer and more reliable solution for the country’s mass energy storage needs

Why the last mile of charging infrastructure is the most challenging

Alternative chemistries to lithium-ion batteries could account for more than 10% of the nascent stationary energy storage market by 2025, according to research group IDTechEx

BHP starts construction of one of the world’s largest off-grid mining solar and battery energy storage systems at two nickel mines

Frequently asked questions about lithium, a key energy transition material

Under pressure to meet rapidly growing demand from EVs and energy storage, the transformation of the lithium supply chain is speeding up.

The steel and metals industries stress that their products are key to enabling solutions to address global environmental priorities. Myra Pinkham gathers international views on progress in ‘green’ transformation and asks what today’s environmental goals imply for industrial production and future demand

Lithium production must quadruple between 2020 and 2030 to meet growing demand, from 345,000 tonnes in 2020 to 2 million tonnes in 2030. That is the biggest challenge and opportunity facing the lithium industry in the next decade

Work is under way in Fredrikstad, Norway, to build a plant that will be key to electric vehicle (EV) transportation in Europe.
