His company has created a groundbreaking battery technology that could transform energy storage.Unlike traditional batteries that rely on mined metals like lithium or cobalt, SorbiForce's revolutionary non-metal battery is composed entirely of renewable raw materials, including agricultural waste and salts from desalination processes—waste that providers would otherwise pay to dispose of.“We do not need to use mining processes, no mining anymore. So we already mine much more than enough. We should use all those materials that already exist,” Serhii explained.This innovation could have far-reaching impacts. With locally sourced materials, the batteries reduce dependency on mining, simplify supply chains, and lower environmental risks while cutting costs. Additionally, SorbiForce's batteries are inherently safe, non-toxic, and non-flammable. They can even endure physical damage during operation without the risk of fire or explosion.Currently, the company is focusing on stationary energy storage applications. “We were focused from the very beginning on big industrial applications...data centers, critical infrastructure, utilities,” Serhii shared. The batteries have potential for use in home energy storage systems, EV charging stations, and even hospitals, where safety is paramount.Beyond the technology itself, SorbiForce embodies Serhii's decentralized vision for energy independence. He explained, “I think that energy should be decentralized. We are living in an architecture of dependence...crowdfunding, I think, is the most natural way for fundraising for our technology.”SorbiForce has already raised funds through multiple successful investment crowdfunding campaigns. Details of the company's most recent campaign can be found at s4g.biz/sorbiforce, offering a unique opportunity for investors to support this groundbreaking development.A safer, cleaner, and more affordable future in energy storage is no longer a distant idea. SorbiForce is at the forefront of this revolution, paving the way for a world powered by true energy independence.tl;dr:Serhii Kaminsky of SorbiForce leads the development of safer, non-metal batteries from waste products.The batteries are eco-friendly, locally sourced, and eliminate the need for mining processes.Applications include industrial energy storage, critical infrastructure, and home battery systems.Serhii sees decentralization as key and successfully crowdfunds to empower community involvement.His work is driven by a philosophy of freedom to solve global energy challenges sustainably.How to Develop Pursuit of Freedom As a SuperpowerSerhii's superpower is his constant drive for freedom and independence, shaping his approach to solving challenges. “My superpower is a feeling of freedom, you know...to avoid any dependence,” Serhii shared. This passion inspired him to create technology that minimizes reliance on mining, global supply chains, and centralized systems. “It's about creating something new and ending the lack of freedom,” he explained. His philosophy extends beyond batteries to a vision of energy independence that empowers individuals, communities, and nations.When faced with the geopolitical and logistical challenges of energy dependence in Ukraine, Serhii used his love of freedom to mobilize a team of scientists in his homeland to create an entirely new battery architecture. Despite operating in a war-torn region, Serhii emphasized that his team's work represents more than innovation—it symbolizes resilience. As he explained, “Under this pressure...we solve problems for the future. It's not just a battery. It's a new philosophy.”Tips for Developing This Superpower:Step out of your comfort zone to challenge dependency and ignite creativity.Look for solutions that address structural problems rather than temporary fixes.Embrace a long-term vision and focus on empowering others with independence.Let pressing challenges drive you to create meaningful, sustainable solutions.By following Serhii's example and advice, you can make the pursuit of freedom a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Stay Cool This Summer!Guest ProfileSerhii Kaminskyi (he/him):CEO, SorbiForce, Inc.About SorbiForce, Inc.: SorbiForce builds a non-metal battery architecture that combines real-time power stabilization with energy storage in one system. Using carbon materials and a water-based electrolyte, it is non-flammable, sustainable, and designed for local manufacturing in the U.S. The system acts as a “volatility absorber” for AI data centers, utilities, and commercial sites—stabilizing power, storing renewable energy, and ensuring reliable operation of critical infrastructure.Website: sorbiforce.comCompany Facebook Page: facebook.com/sorbiforceInstagram Handle: @sorbiforceOther URL: republic.com/sorbiforce2026Biographical Information: Serhii Kaminskyi is an industrial engineer, inventor, and founder of SorbiForce, where he is building a non-metal battery architecture for modern energy infrastructure.

Lithium-manganese-rich (LMR) batteries could offer a rare combination in energy storage: high energy density at lower costs. They swap much of the expensive nickel for abundant, affordable manganese. But technical hurdles — like poor cycle life, voltage decay, and long formation time — kept them on the sidelines. Now GM says it's solved these challenges. In May, it announced plans to mass produce LMR batteries starting in 2028. In energy density, the new chemistry would land between the two major alternative chemistries in the U.S., NMC and LFP. So what does this new entrant mean for the U.S. battery market? In this episode, Shayle talks to Kurt Kelty, VP of battery, propulsion, and sustainability — and a 30-year battery industry veteran who led Tesla's battery development for over a decade. Shayle and Kurt cover topics like: What parts of the U.S. battery supply chain to on-shore or near-shore The tradeoffs between LFP, LMR, and high-nickel chemistries The roles that Kurt sees for all three in the market  Shifting production lines and supply chains from NMC to LMR Why LFP may still outcompete LMR in the stationary market Resources: General Motors: Why LMR batteries will change the outlook for the EV market AutomotiveDive: GM, LG Energy target commercializing manganese-rich batteries for EVs  WSJ: An Ex-Tesla Engineer Is Turning EVs Into Affordable Family Cars Catalyst: What happened at Northvolt?

Amid extreme drought affecting Rio Grande tributaries, Mexico is struggling to make water deliveries to Texas as required by a treaty. How the situation is linked to climate change and farmer livelihoods in both the US and Mexico.  Also, carbon-intensive industries like steel and chemical manufacturing require a lot of heat to operate, most of which comes from burning fossil fuels. Now engineers are working on turning electricity from renewable sources into heat with something called a thermal battery. And in 2021 the “Wild Coast” of eastern South Africa was targeted by Shell for oil exploration, raising concerns for the local Mpondo people about impacts to wildlife and possible contamination of land and water. Environmental activists Nonhle Mbuthuma and Sinegugu Zukulu mounted a campaign and secured a victory from the High Court revoking Shell's permit. They shared the 2024 Goldman Environmental Prize for Africa. -- We rely on support from listeners like you to keep our journalism strong.

You could make the argument that last year was the worst year in human history for climate change. The Earth experienced its hottest day on record over and over and over again. Air surface temperature anomalies set a record in September. Ocean heat set a record too. The number of wildfires in Canada? Another record high. But you don't have to squint too hard to see the good news. U.S. and European carbon emissions have actually declined this century. The rate of global deforestation is going down. And investment in clean energy technology—particularly solar and batteries—is smashing records and changing the world. Those glimmers of hope come from an epic annual report from Nat Bullard, an independent, Singapore-based climate researcher who spent several years at Bloomberg. In today's episode, Nat and I discuss the twin pillars of the global clean energy revolution (solar and storage), how these two technologies have consistently beat expert predictions, how they're reshaping energy generation around the world, and what stands in the way of a clean energy future based around sunshine and batteries.

Where is Michigan (and America) at with electric vehicles and battery technology? Gabrielle Coppola, a journalist at Bloomberg, joins me for a conversation on the Daily Detroit podcast. Coppola wrote a very interesting piece, “America's long, tortured journey to build EV batteries,” and it caught my eye because A123 systems — a Michigan company — was bought out of bankruptcy by Chinese investors and their cutting edge tech now is used over there. Over here? Americans are left having to license technology we created. This conversation is about more than that, though. It's about the immense change happening to the automotive industry, and what the challenges and opportunities really are for American automakers to compete in the EV and battery space.

Alex Holmes, COO of Nano One Materials, a Canadian company developing cathode technology for lithium-ion batteries, announced a new collaboration and investment from Sumitomo Metal Mining. Sumitomo is investing nearly $17 million CAD for a 5% stake in Nano One. The companies have been collaborating over the past 9 months, with Sumitomo testing and validating Nano One's materials. Sumitomo sees potential in Nano One's differentiated process for producing cathode materials with a lower environmental footprint and competitive costs.The collaboration will focus on tailoring materials to Sumitomo's customer specifications, especially in the Japanese auto ecosystem. The end goal is licensing agreements and joint ventures for both LFP and nickel-rich NMC cathode materials. Holmes explained Nano One's hybrid business model - large auto plants would likely license the technology to avoid capex, while smaller plants like for grid storage may do JVs where Nano One provides technology and Sumitomo provides capital.Nano One recently acquired the only LFP cathode plant in North America and has retooled it for their process. They are now producing large samples to send to customers. Validation takes time, going through iterative samples from small to large scale. Holmes believes they are well positioned in North America where production is currently zero but will scale up significantly. Their team provides operating expertise that new entrants lack. The new funding will help complete plant conversions and trials to get large samples to customers.
