#Battery
chemistry is definitely my favorite battery topic and I learned so much today at International Conference on Niobium Based Batteries. Encouraged to see researchers and companies across the globe are actively exploring the colorful battery chemistry world.

Interesting! What I know is
#BYD
hasn’t finalised the specifications of their sodium-ion
#energystorage
products. I found the LinkedIn post quoted in the article has disappeared.

Wow!
#Eenergystorage
system integrator Fluence marks its first profitable full year since inception. It believes a strong energy storage demand ahead in the 🇺🇸 and it will not be significantly impacted by change in political landscape.

"Northvolt had billed itself as central to ending European reliance on Chinese production for

, with
#CATL
and
#BYD
. A new type of container with multiple safety measures has been deployed to reduce potential risks. Now 🔋 are mainly transported in China via road vehicles.

🇪🇺Brussels is planning to require 🇨🇳Chinese businesses to have factories in Europe and share technological knowhow in return for EU subsidies. New requirements will apply to

Agree. Of the EU-homegrown battery factory initiatives, Northvolt has had the best conditions to grow and succeed. They have made mistakes of course, but have laid bare just how hard it is to grow this industry when Asia (esp. China) is already so dominant

Why I’m optimistic about the energy transition: Humans tend to underestimate the pace of innovation and overestimate the inertia of incumbent technologies. Clean energy technologies have scaled much more rapidly than predicted by modellers

A group urged Trump not to kill tax credits for
#electricvehicle
sales and production “tax credits are critical to actually compete to win against
#China
