Enpower Greentech Inc.’s Post

In the ever-evolving landscape of renewable energy and technology, a groundbreaking development has emerged from the labs of Novacium SAS, an affiliate of HPQ Silicon Inc. This significant stride in battery technology, which showcases a 14% increase in battery capacity using engineered #SiOx anode material, marks a pivotal moment for the industry. With the stock of HPQ Silicon Inc. fluctuating slightly within the day, closing at an undisclosed figure after opening at $0.21, the focus remains not on the stock market but on the potential this breakthrough brings to the world of energy storage and consumption.

REC Silicon and Sila Nanotechnologies, Inc. (Georgia Institute of Technology startup) signed a Long-Term (till 2031) Silane Supply Agreement. The deal represents the first commercial deal for REC’s SiH4 in the EV battery market and ensures US-supply of silane for production of Sila’s Titan Silicon™ anode material. Under the terms of the agreement, REC will supply Sila with high-quality, US-produced silane for use in the production of Sila’s breakthrough nano-composite silicon anode materials for numerous customers, including Mercedes-Benz AG and Panasonic as well as many additional companies yet to be publicly disclosed. Founded in 2011 with roots and the original technology from Georgia Tech School of Materials Science and Engineering, Sila is a next-generation battery materials company with the mission to power the world’s transition to clean energy. Sila developed and secured key IP and shipped the world’s first commercially available silicon anode for Li-ion batteries in 2021, and has since enabled battery performance enhancements in multiple consumer electronics devices. Sila’s Titan Silicon anode will next power longer-range and faster charging #EVs, including an upcoming version of the Mercedes-Benz #Gwagon electric SUV and will be used within Panasonic Energy’s next-generation Li-ion batteries, which will also serve the automotive industry. Committed to American leadership in clean energy production, Sila is scaling its technology at its manufacturing facility in Moses Lake, Washington. Major financial investors include 8VC, Bessemer Venture Partners, CPP Investments | Investissements RPC, Coatue, Matrix, Sutter Hill Ventures, and funds and accounts advised by T. Rowe Price, among others. #supplychain, #startup, #cleanenergy, #batteries, #silicon, #lithium, #silane

On the 11th of December, Panasonic Energy and Sila Nanotechnologies signed a purchase agreement for next-generation nano-composite silicon anode material. Panasonic Energy will use Sila’s, Titan Silicon TM, high-performance silicon material as anode material for its EV lithium-ion batteries. "We expect more silicon blended anodes to enter the market. The material offers good thermodynamic lithiation potential, increased average voltage, higher volumetric and gravimetric energy capacities leading to higher capacity batteries. The potential for the technology is huge." - Varnika Agarwal Read the article, along with Varnika's evaluation in full here: https://bit.ly/47WdJ1M #EV #EVBattery #RhoMotion

Pioneering innovation in Lithium-ion battery storage and protection from Emtez...

It was an honor to participate to the panel led by Yayoi Sekine (Head of Energy Storage at BNEF), with co-panelists Vanessa Z Chan (Chief Commercialization Officer, Director of the Office of Technology Transitions at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE); Janet Lin (Senior Vice-President, Strategy, Panasonic); and Celina Mikolajczak (Chief Battery Technical Officer, Lyten). Key points: reducing the cost of EV batteries and scaling-up processing of battery materials in North America are critical to meeting the demand for affordable EV, the only EV segment now growing. OneD's SINANODE is the only one that combines large-scale inexpensive silane gas to adding nano-silicon to EV-grade graphite already qualified with EV cell makers. Together with Koch Modular, we are designing the largest silicon-graphite combined factories in North America (phase 1 = 20,000 tons/year; phase 2 = 40,000 tons/year; at lower cost than any other silicon anode technologies). #evbatteries

https://lnkd.in/g9qRSEck The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced the phase-two (the Prove! phase) winners of the Hydrogen Shot Incubator Prize, a multi-phase competition launched by the DOE Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies Office (HFTO) to identify, develop, and test disruptive technologies that reduce the cost of producing clean hydrogen The four winners announced for this phase (the Prove! phase) will each receive $300,000 in national laboratory vouchers and $100,000 in cash to support their demonstration efforts in preparation for the final stage in 2025—phase three (Pitch Day!), in which competing teams will present their innovations to potential investors and commercial partners. In phase one (Propose!), completed in October 2022, nine winning teams each received $60,000( 50000+10000).

Plug Power is on a mission to supply hydrogen fuel at a profit. With the latest 45v H2 Production guidance from the Dept. of Treasury, the company must adapt their plan to execute on a clear path to profitability. Plug Power is a leader in the hydrogen ecosystem that includes everything from production to energy distribution. Their main product, the GenDrive fuel cell, is already being used in warehouses and distribution centers. Amd a great solution in the power hungry P&E space The company's gigafactory in Rochester, New York, and its facility in Slingerlands, New York, will serve as important assets in this endeavor. With several hydrogen plants in the works, Plug Power is set to produce green hydrogen at scale and at a profit. My bet is that Plug Power will adapt to the recenr 45v ruling & execute their plan in 2024. Watch them & this space 🙂 #h2 #hydrogenfuelcell #hydrogeneconomy
