Jaguar Land Rover is developing an energy storage system (ESS) unit powered by second life batteries from its electric vehicles.

Northvolt intends to build its third gigafactory in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany.

‘Simple’ changes at the design stage of batteries could add significantly to their ‘reusability’ before end of life.

Andy Lycett, Sungrow’s country manager for the UK and Ireland, on the trends that might shape the industry in the years to come. 

Ascend Elements will recycle manufacturing scrap from SK Innovation’s lithium battery gigafactories in Georgia, US.

Northvolt has agreed to acquire a site in Sweden where it will develop its planned gigafactory, capable of producing 100GWh of cathode materials.

A US government pledge of US$2.9 billion support for the country’s battery manufacturing and recycling value chain is more like a band-aid than the “major surgery” required to fix the problem. 

European lithium battery industry trade body RECHARGE has warned that some parts of the EU’s Draft Report on Batteries and Waste Batteries may stifle the industry and not deliver on objectives, ahead of today’s vote. 

LG Energy Solution has signed a five-year supply deal for lithium hydroxide from Germany-headquartered Vulcan Energy Resources, which aims to establish carbon emissions-free extraction facilities. 

The company behind what is claimed will be the largest lithium-ion battery recycling facility in North America intends to process as much material as it can from the energy storage system (ESS) industry.
