Lyten Announces Plans to Build the World’s First Lithium-Sulfur Battery Gigafactory in Nevada Lyten, the supermaterial applications company and global leader in Lithium-Sulfur batteries, today announced plans to invest more than $1 billion to build the world’s first Lithium-Sulfur battery gigafactory. The facility will be located near Reno, Nevada, and will have the capability to produce up to 10 GWh of batteries annually at full scale. Phase 1 of the facility is scheduled to come online in 2027. Lyten’s factory will manufacture cathode active materials (CAM) and lithium metal anodes and complete assembly of lithium-sulfur battery cells in both cylindrical and pouch formats. Lyten has been manufacturing CAM and lithium metal anodes and assembling batteries at its semi-automated pilot facility in San Jose, Calif., since May 2023. Lyten’s Lithium-Sulfur cells feature high energy density, which will enable up to 40% lighter weight than lithium-ion and 60% lighter weight than lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries. Lyten’s cells are fully manufactured in the U.S. and utilize abundantly available local materials, eliminating the need for the mined minerals nickel, cobalt, manganese, and graphite. Lyten’s use of low cost, local materials make Lyten lithium-sulfur a lower cost battery than lithium-ion at scale.

🇰🇷 BATTERIES: "Solus Advanced Materials poised to lead EV copper foil market: CEO" 🇨🇦 🇨🇳 🇺🇸 🔋 Once its C$750 million plant in Quebec is up and running by 2026, it expects to benefit from the IRA tax breaks. Solus Advanced Materials Co. is lesser known among ordinary drivers of electric vehicles. However, the South Korean company is a little giant to global automakers and battery manufacturers. It supplies copper foil, a core material used to make batteries, to big names, such as Tesla Inc. and LG Energy Solution Ltd., the world’s No. 2 battery maker. Formerly Doosan Solus Co., Solus Advanced Materials is the only Korean company building a huge copper foil manufacturing plant in Canada to benefit from tax breaks under the US Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). Nevertheless, Chin Dae-je, the company's chief executive, says business conditions are getting tougher, although his company has a competitive edge. “The battery-related industry is in a game of chicken.

The global future of EV batteries market size was valued at USD 48.7 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 71.5 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 6.6%, during the forecast period 2024-2035. Changes in lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery chemistry are leading to more efficient electric vehicles (EVs) as the industry switches from toxic metals such as nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) to lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP). The rapid progress made in EV battery technology has played a huge role in the emergence of this EV battery market. Electric vehicles are still in high demand due to increasing consumer interest in more sustainable and efficient #transportation options. Manufacturers and researchers are constantly working to improve battery technology by solving problems related to energy density, charging time, cost, cleaner #materials, and safety issues. As the demand for electric vehicles grows, so does the need for these scarce and often geopolitically sensitive resources. By extracting these valuable components from batteries nearing the end of their beneficial lives, #recycling gives a sustainable alternative to relying on risky mining practices and unstable global supply chains. This helps to maintain material sources and promotes a circular economy by reusing materials continuously, improving resource efficiency, and lowering the carbon impact of producing new batteries. The major players in Future of EV Batteries market include #CATL(China), #BYDCompany Ltd. (China), #LGEnergySolution Ltd. (South Korea), #PanasonicHoldingsCorporation (Japan), and #SKInnovation Co., Ltd. (South Korea). #battery #batteries #batterytechnology #electricvehicles #evs #energystorage #energy For more info :- https://lnkd.in/gRBxrQfV

This will change everything for newer investments! World’s (& China’s) leading integrated battery players CATL and BYD are further lowering down the productions costs of Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) batteries. This will create an early price war between China and other countries but would benefit EV manufacturers around the globe. Pricing trend in China for EV battery: - Feb 2023 €110/kWh - Aug 2023 €77/kWh - Oct 2023 €64/kWh - Feb 2024 €51/kWh - Dec 2024 (expected) €40/kWh #china #evbattery Source: read below insightful article
