Expand the possibilities and use the best fit. (zinc, carbon, mechanical, thermal, etc.) Energy storage is not a one size fits all. There is no "Lithium Nirvana". (NMC, LFP, Na+, LTO, etc.)

As this recent TriplePundit article points out, we need a diverse mix of energy storage solutions and chemistries to support the global energy transition. Redox flow batteries are a viable solution for stationary storage but most systems to date rely on vanadium, an expensive critical mineral. Quino Energy's flow battery chemistry uses materials made from abundant sources that can be easily supplied through fully domestic supply chains. As the market explores alternatives to lithium ion and vanadium, our platform is well-positioned to become the leading flow battery chemistry in coming years. Stay tuned for more exciting developments coming soon! #supplychain #madeinUSA #batterychemistry

🔋 U.S. Lithium Brine Projects Get a Major Boost! 🇺🇸 The U.S. Department of Energy is investing $3 billion across the #battery manufacturing sector to accelerate domestic production, including projects focused on #lithium brine and Direct Lithium Extraction technology. This funding supports a broad range of initiatives aimed at reducing reliance on foreign sources and building a robust U.S. battery supply chain. Key projects like SWA Lithium and TerraVolta Resources will utilise #DLE to transform brine into valuable battery materials: https://lnkd.in/g7FAxEhk Mandrake Resources continues to advance its large scale lithium brine project in Utah, contributing to the future of U.S. lithium production. #LithiumBrine #DLE #BatteryManufacturing #CriticalMinerals

If the battery world had awards, lithium-ion would be the MVP, or maybe MVB (for battery). They aren’t perfect, however. There are valid concerns over extracting lithium from environmentally sensitive areas, safety concerns over thermal runaway, the recyclability issue of lithium-ion batteries, and performance limitations.

I recently had a chat with Hümeyra Ayaz about novel lithium resources and extraction technologies, and what's needed for them to become more a significant part of the lithium supply chain. As noted in the article, we have more than enough lithium, and efficient new extraction processes that have many advantages over traditional techniques (shout out to Watercycle Technologies!), but we need to ensure that these new processes and reserves are invested in today to make sure that we don't have a supply shortfall by the end of the decade. Incidentally, this article is hot on the heels of yesterday's musings about a financial mechanism to support the development of new lithium supplies during today's low market prices. https://lnkd.in/ek6VpPju

The recent Lithium Supply and Battery Raw Materials conference 2024 raised interesting insights for the energy storage industry. As a leader in lithium-based energy storage systems, here's my perspective: 💸Price volatility - a blessing in disguise: While the market is bearish now, this allows to offer more attractive prices to customers. However, we're aware of the need for long-term planning beyond current fluctuations. ⛏️ Diversifying supply sources: The expansion into Africa promises supply stability, but the market should be careful and select suppliers that have ethical and environmental standards. ♻️Innovation in recycling: The challenges in the recycling industry highlight the need for smarter solutions.‏ Despite the challenges, I'm optimistic about the future of the energy storage industry. Market changes drive to innovate and improvement. #EnergyStorage #Lithium #Sustainability #EnergyInnovation #BLEnergy #CATL

As I mentioned before, I see Volt Lithium as the fastest path to Lithium production in North America.

Lithium demand is set to sky-rocket, and this company is poised to build the largest refinery of it in Europe at Teeside, UK. It will be able to process feedstock from a variety of sources and produce Li Carbonate and Li Hydroxide - critical minerals for Li-ion batteries and other high-tech electronics.
