In a double-whammy of NMC battery news, SolarEdge has started shipping cells from its new South Korea gigafactory while Lechlanché has claimed a breakthrough in environmentally-friendly cell production.

Microvast, a Texas-headquartered company manufacturing battery cells and storage systems, has won 1.2GWh battery storage deal.

Lithium-ion battery pack prices have gone up 7% in 2022, marking the first price rise since BloombergNEF began its surveys in 2010.

Could we start seeing ‘third life’ or even ‘fourth life’ energy storage, with EV batteries deployed in multiple different systems in their lifetime?

The mismatch between supply and demand for lithium batteries presents a challenge to the global transition to sustainable energy.

Whilst growing in popularity for stationary energy storage, one project developer tells Energy-Storage.news that LFP batteries deliver lower returns than NMC ones, a claim we then put to battery intelligence firm ACCURE.

FREYR Battery will go ahead with construction of its first battery gigafactory in Norway, which has announced a National Battery Strategy.

Piotr Grudzień, innovation consultant at Bax & Company, proposes a plan to improve the efficiency of Li-ion battery reverse logistics in Europe.

SolarEdge has begun producing test cells for certification at its newly opened lithium-ion cell gigafactory in South Korea.

Rising demand for batteries, largely coming from the electric vehicle (EV) sector, means raw materials prices continue to be volatile.
