PI-KEM Ltd

Yesterday PI-KEM Ltd had the pleasure of exhibiting at the 1st West Midlands Battery EcoSystem Conference & Expo at THE MTC - ADVANCED MANUFACTURING TRAINING CENTRE LIMITED organised by Dr Michelle Lynch FRSC, CEO of EnabledFuture. We had our stand alongside exhibitors from future-thinking organisations, such as Royal Society of Chemistry, and it was interesting to learn about our areas of industry overlap - Michelle thoroughly encouraged collaboration and crossover, with the common goal of driving material innovation. Alongside the exhibitions, we listened to a range of industry experts conducting both individual talks and panel discussions. Amongst those, it was especially enlightening to hear from Naseer Ahmed, Commercial Director of UKBIC ; Dr Mickey Crozier, Chief Engineer of Component Technologies at the MTC; and Dr Gavin Harper, Research Fellow at the Met4Tech UKRI Interdisciplinary Circular Economy Centre for Technology Metals. Naseer discussed the important work undertaken at the UK Battery Industrialisation Centre (UKBIC), funded by the Faraday Battery Challenge in a push to a greener battery future and net zero. UKBIC fulfills a unique missing link between promising lab prototypes and full-scale production, allowing new designs to be tested and produced in large quantities. Members of our team had the opportunity to visit UKBIC earlier in the year, and saw the vast scale of lab capabilities available to researchers. Mickey and Gavin both discussed the importance of battery recycling, to develop a sustainable circular battery economy, focused on reducing waste, making the most out of raw materials, and designing recycling processes to be green and cost-effective. Of particular interest to PI-KEM was the concept of designing new batteries with recycling in mind, placing this at the start of the process instead of the end. Since we support new battery researchers, we hope this is something we see becoming a more common branch of interest. Finally, we would like to thank everyone who came over to visit our stand to talk to either Colin Rouse or Georgia Wardle. Whether familiar faces, new customers, or people interested in the battery components we had on display, it was great to have the chance to talk about what we do, and learn more about other businesses in the battery space. Thanks again to Dr Michelle Lynch FRSC for hosting us and providing a lovely lunch and a plentiful supply of hot drinks. #PIKEM #WeEnableInnovation #WMBE2024 #Batteries #WestMidlands #Sustainability #BatteryRecycling #CleanEnergy #CircularEconomy

Watch our interview with Jonty Deeley-Williamson, Head of Learning & Development at UKBIC as he discusses the lessons learnt in setting up battery research lines. This excerpt is taken from our full interview 'Why Do We Need To Upskill Within The Battery Industry?' You can watch our full conversation (link in the comments), as Jonty chats openly about the skills challenge within the battery workforce. He also talks about why upskilling is so important, the training opportunities and facilities currently available, the barriers associated with purchasing training equipment, and how third-party suppliers such as PI-KEM Ltd can help. #BatteryResearchLine #BatterySkills #PIKEM #WeEnableInnovation
