You read that right, over $1 billion in investments! It's great to see the work Orbia is doing to lead global sustainability goals within the EV battery sector. #Orbia #Koura #EVTransition #SustainableDevelopment #CleanEnergyInnovation
Did you know Orbia is investing over $1 billion in developing advanced battery materials to accelerate the EV transition? EVs are essential to achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals for decarbonization and the energy transition, requiring continuous improvement and growth of the EV battery supply chain. Orbia is solving these challenges while building the battery materials supply chain in North America. For example: • We received a grant from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for a planned project to build the first LiPF6 manufacturing plant in North America. LiPF6 is critical electrolyte salt that is used in all lithium-ion batteries. Our plant’s manufacturing capacity is expected to support domestic production of more than one million full electric vehicles each year. • We expanded our R&D facilities to deepen our focus on developing high performing, critical battery materials. • We invested more than $10 million in Ascend Elements and have a partnership to commercialize their patented Hydro-to-Anode graphite recycling technology in the U.S. which generates 99.9% pure graphite from used lithium-ion batteries. • In April we broke ground on the largest EV battery materials facility in North America with our partner Syensqo (formerly Solvay) where Orbia will supply materials to manufacture PVDF, a crucial material for EV batteries.

Big steps for refrigerant technology at Herrick Conferences 2024. Here's a recap of the peer-reviewed papers our Koura refrigerants team presented: 📏 Measurement techniques of fluid properties & industry first measurements: these focused on the effects of elevation on flammability limits of mildly flammable 2L refrigerants for safety standards development (ASHRAE Standard 15). 🚗 Future offerings for automotive electric vehicles: with internal test results on R-444A materials compatibility testing, which continues to move the industry to a zero, or de minimis, level of TFA production. ♨️ Koura's next generation blends for hot water heat pumps: enabling manufacturers to extend higher efficiency and lower environmental impact solutions to all other products. A big thanks to this amazing team for sharing their expertise. Koura is committed to leading the way in technical conferences as we expand our product line with the goal of Advancing Life around the World. #Orbia #Koura #Refrigerants #HerrickConferences #Innovation
