Congratulations to Ilika plc on the successful testing of the Goliath D5 prototypes! 👏 "The collaboration is a terrific example of the transfer of knowhow from the Faraday Institution community - in this case at @UCL and the @University of Oxford on the science of battery safety - to deliver impact for a UK battery SME via the Industry Sprint programme." - Professor Martin Freer, The Faraday Institution CEO This is a major milestone for the company as it focuses on delivering on its minimum viable product roadmap, which will underpin licensing opportunities. Ilika news release ➡️ https://lnkd.in/euiPn6U4 #SolidStateBatteries #EV #BatteryTech Paul Shearing James Robinson
Really pleased to announce a further technical milestone achieved for our Goliath #solidstatebatteries. The D5 prototype testing is complete and reinforces that Goliath cells have the potential to provide #electricvehicles with lighter, safer, cheaper #batteries with longer range and faster charging capabilities - relative to lithium-ion equivalent. https://lnkd.in/euiPn6U4 #automotive

⚡ The UK’s electric vehicle battery sector has been supercharged by record levels of venture capital investment ⚡ A new report commissioned by UK Research and Innovation's Faraday Battery Challenge, delivered by Innovate UK and produced by Dealroom.co shows that UK-based electrical vehicle (EV) battery start-ups have raised $2.7 billion in funds from venture capital (VC) investments since 2018. This makes the UK the fourth largest recipient of VC investment in EV batteries in the past five years, following the US, China and Sweden. Faraday Battery Challenge-funded UK EV battery start-ups have raised $1 billion in VC investment since 2018 – those 52 UK battery startups supported by the Faraday Battery Challenge are also valued at over $2 billion.

👀 ⤵ Congratulations to Hinckley Recycling, their investors and Nigerian Ogun State Government on their $5m investment in the first lead-acid and lithium-ion battery recycling facility in Africa, which will create 100 new direct jobs in a high-value industry. 🎉 Kudos to our International R&D Partnerships Manager Andrew Deadman who played a role in bringing together partners (Hinckley, ReLiB Project researchers at the University of Birmingham and the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office Manufacturing Africa Programme) to make this happen. This formed part of the leadership activity of the Ayrton Fund Challenge on Energy Storage in the months following the Transforming Energy Access Annual Forum in Kigali in March 2024, at which Andrew led a session on energy innovation.

Solar and electric vehicles are great… but where do all our used batteries end up? ♻️ It has been fantastic to welcome the British High Commissioner to Nigeria Richard Montgomery to Lagos and Ogun State this week. He joined the Ogun State Governor HE Dapo Abiodun in celebrating a $5 million investment by Hinckley Recycling into Africa’s first lead-acid and lithium-ion battery recycling facility, which will be based in Ogun State, Nigeria. The facility will safely #recycle both #battery types back into chemical form, tackling issues with lead-poisoning from poor management practices in the state, and creating 100 new direct #jobs for Ogun residents in a high-value #export industry. Hinckley cooperated with the University of Birmingham and The Faraday Institution and will bring cutting-edge UK patented #technology. I met Hinckley’s MD Adrian C. at the Transforming Energy Access conference in Kigali earlier this year, when he was trying to figure out how to make this project a reality. I know he’s grateful for the support from Manfacturing Africa (Yasmin Kamara-Osaghae), OgunInvest (Sola Arobieke), and Ogun State Honourable Commissioners Ola Oresanya and Adebola Sofela for working together to take it over the line. Congratulations to Hinckley, their investors and Ogun State Government on this pioneering investment. Naija no dey carry last!
