“Climate change is the single greatest threat to a sustainable future but, at the same time, addressing the climate challenge presents a golden opportunity to promote prosperity, security and a brighter future for all.”
- Ban Ki-Moon, Former Secretary-General of UN
The Electrification Revolution is well underway as the world transitions from its multi-decade dependence on Fossil Fuels to a fully electrified society. Global warming has finally been recognized as a major threat to our existence and the health of the planet.
Storage is a key enabler to human prosperity and well-being. Just think about it, if we were not able to store food then humans would have to spend a large amount of time gathering food. Energy Storage enables a myriad of things we can do if we our energy storage solution is sound.
Energy Storage, Lithium-ion batteries and C4V: The Winners
Why Energy Storage?
We all know that the wind doesn’t always blow and the sun doesn’t always shine. Renewable energy all share the same weakness; intermittency. Cost effective and efficient storing of that energy is a major underpinning of the Electrification Revolution.
Why Lithium ion batteries?
Lithium-ion based batteries have been declared the winner based on the hundreds of US$ billions invested by various Auto Manufacturers around the world. Cost, efficiency, weight, and performance all lead to choosing Lithium-ion batteries as the Energy Storage solution of choice.
Why C4V?
Lithium-ion battery technology is our core competency and drives our competitive advantage. However, our business model, which includes forming these Joint Venture Gigafactories, give us a very unique view of the entire Lithium Ion Battery Value Chain from mine to chemistry to manufacturing to end user. We experience it all with a keen focus on the end game; the world’s continued transition to Electrification.
