Dormant Reserve in Lithium-Ion Batteries Detected
Lithium iron phosphate is one of the most important materials for batteries used in electric vehicles, stationary energy storage systems, and tools. It is durable, relatively inexpensive, and does not pose a risk of self-ignition. Its energy density is also making steady progress. However, the scientific community still puzzles over why lithium iron phosphate batteries […]
Start-up shows new solution for recycling e-car batteries
Electric cars are a building block in the transition to sustainable mobility. But what happens if such an electric car is damaged or reaches the end of its life? Components such as the bodywork, seats, dashboards and the like can still be easily recycled. The batteries, on the other hand, are real power packs […]
Styria becomes part of the first European hydrogen valley for industrial applications
The projects within the Hydrogen Valley cover the entire value chain – from the production and transportation to the storage and use of green hydrogen. New plants are planned to produce more than 10,000 tons of hydrogen per year in the three federal states. The Hydrogen Valley will thus make a significant contribution to the […]
Siemens Energy triples production area for wind power transformers
Transformers that can convert electrical voltage into a higher or lower voltage have been manufactured in Weiz for more than 130 years. The production of these transformers can only be automated to a very limited extent and requires specialized personnel. The plant is a leader in transformers for use in wind turbines on the high […]
88,000 tons of waste, a Terminator and expertise from Green Tech Valley
In 2022, before the Styrian waste specialist Komptech gets involved, people in Caotun imagine themselves in a different world. Because too much groundwater is being used, the soil in the community of 100,000 inhabitants in Nantou County in Taiwan is sinking. The construction of the 600 million euro artificial lake “Niaozueitan” is intended to provide […]
Battery4Life: New COMET center under the leadership of TU Graz
It is a great success for the Graz University of Technology (TU Graz) and proof of the outstanding expertise of its researchers in the future-oriented field of battery technology: the Austrian Research Promotion Agency FFG has approved the application for the new COMET-K1 center “Battery4Life”. Together with international partners from science and industry, a team […]
