Innovation in battery technology has profound implications. It can shape the relationships between states and global markets. Tesla batteries are now powering homes.
Arguably the largest EV brand today, the Chinese car maker BYD, began life as a battery company.Behind the pace of technological progress, questions remain. The natural earth minerals required to mine for existing EV batteries are rare, and require giant factories to process and scale. Industrial waste is produced at the beginning and end of a battery life-cycle.
Enter Theion, a Berlin based startup creating batteries based on lithium-sulfur, rather than lithium-ion. Compellingly, sulfur is an abundant waste product, particularly in the GCC, where it is one of the outputs from processing oil. Unlike cobalt, manganese or nickel, it doesn’t need to be mined.
A revolution in battery technology can change history.
A revolution in battery technology can change history. Will Theion’s patented delivery system play a role? We connected with Dr. Ulrich Ehmes, the CEO, to find out more.
