Li-ion cells

OGO Energy will manufacture battery packs incorporating its battery management system and battery cells with improved longevity and heat-resistance made possible by noco-noco’s X-SEPA separators.

E-waste recycler Eco Recycling (Ecoreco) will use the technology developed by the Centre for Materials for Electronics Technology (CMET), under India’s Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology (MeitY), to recover valuable elements from end-of-life lithium batteries.

With battery storage such a crucial aspect of the energy transition, lithium-ion (li-ion) batteries are frequently referenced but what is the difference between NMC (nickel-manganese-cobalt), LFP (lithium ferro-phosphate), and LTO (lithium-titanium-oxide) devices and their underlying chemistry?

The renewable energy technology action platform will initially focus on green and clean hydrogen, wind energy, long-duration energy storage, and exploration of geothermal energy, ocean/tidal energy and other emerging technologies.

Mukesh D Ambani, the chairman and managing director of Reliance Industries, says the company aims to open a fully integrated solar gigafactory by the end of 2025. It also plans to initiate megawatt-level sodium-ion cell production by 2025.

The Ministry of Heavy Industries has appointed Engineers India Ltd (EIL) as independent engineers to monitor the progress of the advanced-chemistry battery cell projects awarded under the production-linked incentives (PLI) Scheme. 

Exide Energy Solutions, which is building a 6 GWh lithium-ion cell manufacturing facility in Karnataka, has sought additional 40 acres of land for expansion to 12 GWh in the state.

C4V, a New York-headquartered lithium-ion cell technology company, has tied up with UAE-based Trot Solutions to develop green ports in India. The alliance has started to discuss with the port operators for its first green port project at Jawaharlal Nehru Port Terminal in India. 

The Ministry of Heavy Industries (MHI) will retender the 20 GWh advanced chemistry battery cell capacity that was left unallocated after Hyundai Global Motors Co., one of the winners of the 50 GWh PLI tender, withdrew from the scheme last year.

Tata Group will build a 40 GWh battery factory in the UK to produce batteries for Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) and other EV manufacturers in the UK and Europe.
