She is right in so many ways. I like her view on, not just 1 battery in the portfolio, but many battery chemistry makeups in the portfolio. To meet demands at particular needs, in cost and functionality.
I agree with her in regards of the US DOE putting up a competition on a Battery Innovation Prize. It would be awesome to see what would come out of the wood work with the chemistry’s that have been approached in making, “energy storage systems.”
I am going to throw some more money at GMGMF, I think she is on to something there with manufacturing cost. GMGMF has so far got a great lead in the market on the concept.

We are delighted to announce the winner of the 2023 Energy Storage Materials Award: Dr. Y. Shirley Meng, Ph.D, University of Chicago, United States of America.
Told ya.
Cover the ones they know are dead wells or no brine bearing wells.
That way they look like the good guys while sneaking a DLE onto the wells that are good.
Opinion, waste of time and resources. Taking those funds and pushing them into SSB development is the answer.
But some of those companies are so heavily invested at this point, they keep going, to recoup some of their cost.

the life cycle of a well
Chevron plans for the full life cycle of our wells, retiring them with the same emphasis on safety and the environment as when they were operational.
It’s up to Eliason and her team—as well as several other teams within Chevron—to properly restore the land surrounding decommissioned wells. By the time they’re through removing equipment and restoring the landscape, the land is prepared for its next chapter.
And John is sitting around upper 90’s percentage wise, in returned brine, no inorganic material.
He can master that with oil producers, he has cornered a market opportunity then.

Amprius introduces new commercially available silicon anode battery platform targeting electric mobility: SiCore
17 January 2024
https://www.greencarcongress.com/2024/01/20240117-amprius.html
Steve LeVine posted today a very interesting article on LFP mass-adoption. To add to his excellent article, please find here one of the reasons for the recent increase in LFP from China in the USA and European cell and EV factories.
The key LFP patents were held by four companies that made the decision a decade ago to let Chinese producers use the IP for free as long as they did not export. This started the large production ramp-up inside China for domestic uses. However, the key patents expired in 2021, opening the floodgates to exporting inexpensive LFP.

BHP can and will play the long game on their strategic foresight driven investment into hashtag#transition metals.
Since getting back into work after the holidays- it’s clear though from conversations across our clients that everyone is now focused on trying to understand what’s happening with the accelerated Chinese investment into the Indonesian hashtag#nickel sector- from hashtag#mining through to hashtag#smelting. What will be the hashtag#carbon, hashtag#ghg, hashtag#sustainability and hashtag#esg profile of that hashtag#commodity and hashtag#metal flow? Will price always be the key buyer criteria?
Quote from the article by James Thompson:
“But we shouldn’t miss what BHP is saying here in calling out a structural change in the market. To be clear, the view inside the company has not changed in terms of nickel’s long-term demand story. But there is a clear sense that the industry, and BHP, have been surprised by the pace at which Indonesia’s supply has increased, and the rate at which technological changes have allowed this lower-quality Indonesian nickel to infiltrate the part of the supply chain that BHP targets with its nickel sulphide.”

CATL has put into operation a new battery production base capable of producing an average of one cell every one second with the help of highly automated production lines in Guian New District, China.
The production base, with a total land area of about 1,435 mu (0.95 square kilometers), is being built in two phases with a planned combined annual capacity of 60 GWh, the first of which has already been officially put into operation.
The first phase of the project uses an advanced production line with an automation rate of 95 percent, featuring a high production pace and high flexibility, CATL said.
From material feeding to finished product output, the base can realize the speed of producing one cell in one second and one battery pack in 2.5 minutes, the company said.

Tesla’s New Lithium Refinery Plant is located near Corpus Christi, Texas!
I was able to head down to the Corpus Christi Lithium Refinery Plant construction site, almost four months since the official groundbreaking event took place on 8 May 2023.
Wow, there has been a TON of work and changes since then, with a large area having been earth worked, footings, trenching, ponds, construction trailers and Tesla office trailers, sprung structures, and even vertical construction with concrete pours!
Timestamps:
Drone flight overview with discussion & illustration: 0:06 to 3:51
Drone flight footage & infographics: 4:18 to 20:43
The flight began with some gulf-coast fog, but it was already clearing when I started the flight and eventually became sunny with great visibility. You'll note this transition in both the images above and the video itself.
Despite the fog, we get to see a lot of details around the site, with some very interesting large equipment assembly, active concrete pours, the iconic "Tesla Lithium" sign used during the groundbreaking and much more!
Since this is my first flight here as well, I took the opportunity to do a perimeter flight around most of the areas with construction and major changes since the groundbreaking and then closer views of the main refinery construction site itself.

The companies plan to invest as much as $3 billion combined and each hold 30% stakes in the as-yet-unnamed venture, which will open in a little over three years. It will be scaled to churn out 21 gigawatt-hours of lithium-iron-phosphate, or LFP, battery cells annually at a factory site that hasn’t yet been determined, Cummins CEO and President Jennifer Rumsey told Forbes. Chinese battery maker EVE Energy will share its LFP cell technology with the venture and own a 10% stake.
Amprius’ State-of-the-Art Gigawatt-Hour Scale Factory in Colorado Passes Major Milestone
Amprius On Track to Operationalize its Growth Engine to Serve Strong Customer Demand for High-Performance Silicon Anode Lithium-Ion Batteries and Fuel the Electric Mobility MarketFREMONT, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Amprius Technologies, Inc. (“Amprius” or the “Company”) (NYSE: AMPX), a leader in next-generation lithium-ion batteries with its Silicon Anode Platform, today announced that the Brighton City Council approved an ordinance to rezone an approximately 103 acre site, including an existing 1,278,455 square foot facility, to allow, among other matters, the Company to manufacture its next-generation lithium-ion batteries. This marks a significant milestone clearing the path for Amprius to establish its state-of-the-art gigawatt-hour scale factory site to meet growing customer demand.
"This approval from the Brighton City Council marks an important step towards our goal to begin operations at Amprius Fab in the first half of 2025,” said Dr. Kang Sun, Chief Executive Officer of Amprius. “Establishing the first silicon anode battery production facility in Brighton, Colorado, represents a pivotal milestone for the United States in building a local ecosystem that advances electric mobility. We thank the City of Brighton staff and City Council for all their dedicated work and efforts in handling the rezoning application. Additionally, we extend our appreciation to the community members who participated in the process.”
With this project, Amprius aims to repurpose a significant portion of Colorado’s largest single-story industrial building and transform it into a state-of-the-art lithium-ion battery manufacturing facility. This factory site is expected to greatly increase Amprius’ manufacturing capacity, with an initial 500 megawatt-hours (MWh) and the potential of up to 5 gigawatt-hours (GWh) available within the existing footprint. The projected timeline for the factory site is between 18–24 months.
It will take about 20 years for Canada and its most populous province to break even on the billions of dollars in public money promised to lure Stellantis NV and Volkswagen AG to the country, a spending watchdog concluded.
Canada and Ontario have pledged a total of C$28.2 billion ($20.8 billion) to the two auto manufacturers to subsidize production at electric-vehicle battery plants through the end of 2032, with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government footing two-thirds of the bill at C$18.8 billion and the province paying one-third, or C$9.4 billion.
20 years, throw that $28.2 billion into a CD over the next 20 years and you are waaaaaaaay ahead.
New synthetic graphite production operations in the United States, including Anovion’s $800 million plant in Bainbridge, Georgia, and Novonix’s $160 million plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee, will benefit from U.S. incentives included in the IRA and the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, executives said.
Vianode, jointly owned by Norsk Hydro and battery maker Elkem, aims to build synthetic graphite facilities in both Europe and North America, with enough capacity to supply up to 2 million EVs a year by 2030.
Gotta watch these three.
I don’t know who they tested.
There are so many lithium developers in China and Japan.
Wouldn’t know who they use until a tear down is done.
Toyota, is testing QS.
Thank Toyota for those change of plans
