Shanghai Metals Market’s Post

I want to highlight a critical development in the field of energy and technology: the recovery of lithium. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) recognizes lithium as essential for energy independence and advancing clean energy technologies, so lithium's significance extends far beyond its commercial value. It is pivotal for the United States' shift towards a greener economy and technological innovation. Efficient and sustainable recovery methods are crucial for reducing reliance on imported resources and ensuring this vital element's steady, reliable supply. I am excited to present our latest study, which delves into reviewing groundbreaking methods for lithium recovery. Our research have reviewed innovative approaches that enhance the efficiency and environmental impact of lithium extraction processes. This work supports broader energy security and technological progress goals by contributing to a more sustainable supply chain. Explore our findings and see how these advancements could shape the future of energy and technology.

How does the future energy system look like? What are the innovative business models enabled by new technologies? What are the most exciting investment opportunities in this changing landscape? I discussed these and many for questions at the New Energy Summit of LCP Delta in Berlin last week representing Future Energy Ventures. Huge shout out to the amazing panel on scaling demand side flexibility and fascinating discussion with Jon Ferris, Emma Hellström, Tamika Balken and Julian Rominger. Key takeaways 👉 Demand side flexibility is an emerging and evolving market. The regulators are still shaping the rules and market design. Early adopters are driving progress and intrerest in flexibility is steadily increasing. 👀 Market participants are looking to understand the value of flexibility over time in different markets including ancillary service market, wholesale, local flex market and capacity market to develop most profitable trading strategies. 🚀 Need for flexibility services in the energy system is huge with sufficient space for both demand side response and utility scale batteries. The challenges to be worked on for full take-off are the following: i) economic - understanding the value of flex, ii) regulatory - clear rules of the game, iii) technical - hardware compatibility to connect to VPPs, iv) organizational - risk aversion to try new solutions in organizations, v) informational - understanding of flexibility space and how to participate in it. The passion, enthusiasm and energy for making it happen is epic, so it is just a matter of time for flexibility to become an integral part of energy system and for asset owners to monetize this opportunity, while contributing to lowering the overall system cost. #flexibility #innovation #futureenergy #investing

🔔 𝑷𝒖𝒃𝒍𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑨𝒍𝒆𝒓𝒕! 📚 Happy to share our (José Guimón, Ido Alon) recent work in Technological Forecasting and Social Change," focusing on the potential of graphene in energy storage technologies over the next two decades. Through a Delphi survey and expert insights, we crafted three evolutionary scenarios for graphene's diffusion into energy storage technologies. Key points: 🚀 Current advancements position graphene as having "nice-to-have" functionalities with limited transformative potential. 🔄 We project a gradual evolution in graphene's role, emphasizing its technical progression and adoption in energy storage devices. ❓ The study challenges the near-term transformative expectations for graphene, highlighting a complex balance between its functionalities and true transformative capabilities. Why it matters: 🚀 This study underscores the importance of strategic foresight in navigating the complex path from scientific breakthrough to practical application. 🌱 It calls for a collaborative effort among policymakers, industry stakeholders, and the scientific community to realize the full potential of graphene in sustainable energy solutions. 💡 It provides actionable insights for policymakers, industry stakeholders, and researchers to foster a conducive ecosystem for graphene's broader application in sustainable energy solutions. https://lnkd.in/gQNrcjRh
