Echion Technologies

We are so pleased that you could join us Laura Scur Queiroz to help us celebrate this important milestone.

Rho Motion Seminar Series: London 2024 | Battery technology roadmaps “New technologies are complementary not competitive, in order to reach the demand of the future, emerging technologies are needed.” In this session, Benchmark Mineral Intelligence’s Rory McNulty explored some of the newer battery technologies hitting the market, before Echion Technologies’ David Keating provided an update on the development of the company’s niobium-based anode material, XNO.  Some of the key discussion topics included: • Emerging battery materials aim to push boundaries by targeting optimisation for specific performance metrics  • Lithium, nickel and cobalt markets are expected to reach a supply deficit in the mid-term, emerging technologies could bridge this gap  • Niobium-based anode material can be key to tackling issues with total cost of ownership  • Echion and CBMM’s new production facility in Brazil Click the link in the comments below to request the recording of this session. #RhoMotionSeminarSeries #EVConference #EVBattery #EnergyTransition #EnergyStorage #EVCharging 

👋 Meet Ceri Neal, Chief Financial Officer at Echion Technologies! With 20 years of experience and an ICAEW qualification, Ceri brings deep financial expertise to the team. After starting out with Grant Thornton UK, she took on key roles within tech SMEs, focusing on financial growth and strategy. Prior to joining Echion in late 2022, Ceri was pivotal in driving scale-up efforts at Blighter Surveillance Systems. Thank you for everything you do, Ceri! We’re thrilled to have you steering our financial future. #LifeAtEchion #BatteryTechnology

As we get closer to the completion of our hybrid Land Cruiser project, the more detailed the work becomes. Our video series that plots the progress of the Switch Technologies and Echion teams takes you to the heart of what is going on. This week the important task of laser welding is featured. Highlights below, full video here: https://lnkd.in/eUwYQCU9 #niobiumanodes #miningvehicles #XNOanodematerial #batterymodules

We’re thrilled to announce that we have secured a further £10 million in investment from Barclays Sustainable Impact Capital and BGF to help accelerate our commercial growth. This funding will enable us, alongside our partners, to speed up production of commercially available cells that use our XNO® anode material, seeing our technology utilised in more real-world applications, at volume. Our CEO, Jean de La Verpilliere said: “This investment by Barclays and BGF is strong recognition of the value delivered by XNO®. By utilising XNO®, cell manufacturers can deliver the most-innovative, sustainable, and high performing batteries to facilitate the effective electrification of heavy-duty vehicles. “It is gratifying to have some of the world’s leading investors support our ambitions and cement their belief in XNO® by investing significant capital. Their investment will enable us to take the next major step forward in our fast-moving company journey.” Read more about this exciting news: https://lnkd.in/eDBcXm9i #EchionTechnologies #XNO #Investment #Niobium #BatteryInnvation #niobiumanodes

How does XNO® boost opportunity charging in mining? Opportunity charging is where a battery can be recharged wherever and whenever the power is available. In mining, this means vehicles will spend less time charging at a more convenient time, instead of having to wait for the batteries to be fully discharged. This reduces downtime and improves operational efficiency – making electrification a more viable option for mining. But how does XNO® help?

Ever wondered what makes XNO® anodes so fast? ⚡ Phillip Johns, Head of Cell Development, explains how its unique crystal structure sets XNO® apart from traditional materials, delivering faster charge and discharge speeds. #BatteryTechnology

This week marks a groundbreaking moment in our journey. The Echion team, in partnership with CBMM, has officially opened the first XNO® manufacturing facility in Araxá, Brazil. The plant has a production capacity of over 2,000 tons of XNO® per year - equivalent to 1 GWh of lithium-ion batteries – enabling us to meet the scale of demand of XNO® with a robust supply chain. Our XNO® anode technology delivers fast charging, high energy density, with outstanding safety and performance, even in extreme conditions. With a cycle life of over 10,000 charges, XNO® is optimised to power electrified heavy-duty, industrial, and mass-transport vehicles with maximum efficiency and cost-effectiveness. CEO, Jean de La Verpilliere, said: “XNO® is already having a positive impact on our cell manufacturing customers, downstream OEMs, and end-users. Echion is beginning to trade at scale, and that is a major milestone for company growth.” Read more about this unique facility here: https://lnkd.in/epXbERU7 #EchionTechnologies #XNO #BatteryInnovation #Niobium #SustainableEnergy #niobiumanodes

How do you develop a battery that suits a 200-tonne tugboat and a 220,000-tonne cargo ship? Simple – use XNO® anodes which deliver performance for every requirement. Discover more in our article below ⬇️ #BatteryTechnology #Electrification
