.Decarbonizing Lithium-Ion Batteries
We are redefining the global lithium-ion battery supply chain to accelerate battery decarbonization by redirecting capital, cutting-edge nanotechnology, and manufacturing capacity to regions abundant in critical minerals, biobased carbon-negative resources, and the world's most dynamic, rapidly expanding economies and workforces.
Rising Global Demand for Battery Power
The world is on the cusp of a battery revolution, with global demand for battery power expected to skyrocket to a staggering 1-6 terawatt-hours (TWh) per year.
Lithium-ion batteries, which continue to be the industry standard for EVs, depend on five critical minerals: graphite, cobalt, lithium, manganese, and nickel.
Unprecedented Market Opportunity
The global silicon lithium-ion battery market is set for explosive growth, with a projected CAGR of 64.0% from 2021 to 2034. This remarkable expansion is driven by increasing demand for electric vehicles, renewable energy storage solutions, and high-performance portable electronics.
Critical Need to Decarbonize
The global demand for battery power is anticipated to soar to between 1 and 6 terawatt-hours (TWh) annually,
Decarbonization Pathways
Significant reductions in emissions from lithium-ion battery production are feasible within the next 5-10 years through:
Next Gen Batteries: Silicon Anodes for Lithium-Ion Batteries

WEST & CENTRAL AFRICA RICE HUSK WASTE
The recalcitrant structure of rice husk waste requires high temperatures for decomposition, well beyond that of agricultural burning. This results in accumulation of large volumes of waste or partial burning. Both scenarios pose significant risks to human health, the environment, and climate underscoring the need for innovative and sustainable management solutions
The unique nanostructure and resilient qualities of rice husk that make it difficult to manage have shown amplified performance of silicon anodes, extending their life cycle by 3 X. This advantage, significant on its own, confers broader social, environmental, and energy security benefits through reduced lithium content requirements.
West & Central Africa, home to 17% of the world's population, consume 32% of the world's rice production. 40% of domestic consumption needs are imported. This imbalance creates trade, food, economic, and national security risks. A 10-year initiative to double rice production in the region is underway.
