Teeside tech firms to accelerate domestic lithium supply chain

Many years ago, there was a TV advertisement shot in the kitchen of a family home. All was well until the oven disappeared, then the refrigerator and the kettle. Then the cutlery from the table vanished

Essential to the energy transition, lithium is such a precious resource that it has been dubbed “white gold”. In 2022, it was mostly extracted by three countries: Australia (47% of global production), Chile (26%) and China

Batteries have a critical role to play in the transition to net zero, with the rapid rise of electric vehicles (EVs) demonstrating how far the technology has evolved in just a few years. In a new

The North East is set for a year of 10,000 jobs and soaring ambitions as major new projects start taking shape that will change the lives of families across the region. After a 2022 full of amazing previews

Lithium, widely used in the manufacture of batteries for the automotive industry, has in just a few years become an essential and strategic raw material for meeting the challenge of the energy transition. Lithium is a

Lithium is but one piece in the complex and interwoven battery supply chain. As the US seeks to onshore manufacturing, the landscape for lithium and other battery components will continue to evolve. At the recent Advanced Automotive

Demand for lithium-ion batteries in energy storage systems and electric vehicles is set to skyrocket and the West must step up its recycling efforts if it is to escape China’s chokehold on the supply chain, says

This week’s Sunday Roast shines a spotlight on Alkemy Capital Investments, a visionary company embarking on ambitious projects critical for powering the global battery industry. With its shares making waves on the London and Frankfurt Stock

Electrically conductive, temperature-resistant and a good heat conductor, dimensionally stable, lightweight and more – graphite has numerous positive properties. This makes it the ideal material for a wide range of applications and industries, such as tool

Lithium is quite unique as a material in that it is very light with the lowest reduction potential of  any chemical element which allows batteries based on lithium to have unbeatable performance. The other advantage is

New statistics have made the Teesside Freeport the best performing Freeport in the UK. The data from the Department for Levelling Up, Housing, and Communities show the Teesside Freeport to be outperforming the other eight zones in terms

The demand for lithium is skyrocketing because of its wide applicability across a variety of industries. Lithium batteries now power most electronics, and by 2030, 95% of lithium demand is projected to be for batteries. Smartphones, tablets, and

The graphite price might not reflect it, but there are serious concerns about how the forecast demand growth for the anode material for lithium ion batteries will be met in coming years. The concerns go beyond
