Hopes are rising for the commercialisation of batteries that are boosted by the inclusion of platinum and palladium following the engagement of an innovation centre to drive the next generation of battery chemistries to market. Collaboration between the Florida International University-linked Lion Battery Technologies of the US and the Battery Innovation Center of Newberry, Indiana, will include creating prototypes for commercialisation consideration next year. Lion's target is to develop batteries with specific energies that are 20% to 100% higher than current technologies while matching or beating present cycle lives. Established four years ago by the Toronto- and New York-listed Platinum Group Metals and the Johannesburg-listed Anglo American Platinum, Lion has been developing the next-generation battery technology using platinum and palladium since 2019. Anglo Platinum has the Mogalakwena, Amandelbult and Mototolo platinum group metals (PGM) operations in South Africa's Bushveld Complex, and the North American Platinum Group Metals, headed by CEO Frank Hallam, is the discoverer and operator of a bulk underground PGM deposit in South Africa's Waterberg, which is being developed with joint venture partners Impala Platinum, Mnombo Wethu Consultants, Japan Organisation for Metals and Energy Security, and Hanwa. Successful commercialisation would mean that the extension of PGMs beyond use in the exhaust systems of internal combustion engines and ensuring the zero-emission advantage of fuel cell electric vehicles, to also making an energy-enhancing and weight-reducing entry into battery electric vehicles. Since inception, the Lion team has focused on the development of proprietary lithium sulphur technology and enhancing the performance of existing commercial lithium-ion or NMC chemistries. Lion has a sponsored research agreement with Florida International University, including exclusive rights to intellectual property developed and will lead the commercialisation efforts. On top of that, the Battery Innovation Center will now collaborate with commercial enterprises, universities, government agencies, and industry leaders to focus on the rapid development, testing, and commercialisation of safe, reliable, and lightweight energy storage systems for commercial and defence customers. The mission of the Battery Innovation Center is to accelerate innovation in the field of battery technology by providing access to the entire spectrum of research and development to commercialisation, including low volume production, in a single 40 000 square foot facility. Under an agreed scope of work, the Battery Innovation Center – which works with clients including BrightVolt, Rolls Royce, DuPont, Valvoline, GE Global Research, and Cummins – is to conduct independent small-scale and large-scale trials to validate Lion's PGMs-based based electrode composition, slurry, and films in lithium-sulphur and lithium-ion coin and pouch cells.

Decarbonizing power is a team sport. Today, there is still a billion people in the world without electricity. A tremendous amount of power is needed to electrify the world, and it grows about a 1.5% growth rate yearly. By 2050 the world will need approximately 42,000 terawatt hours (TWh) of electricity, adding about 400 TWh of additional power every year: twice as much electricity as California generates today. Can this all be done by renewables? Renewables over the last 20 years have seen a massive growth. This continued growth could lead to wind and solar being 50% of total electricity generation by 2050. But where will the other 50% come from?In this episode Brian and Jeff explore this paradox with Vic Abate, GE's Chief Technology Officer and the CEO of GE Research. >Meet Vic Abate bio: https://www.ge.com/research/people/vic-abate>GE Global Research website: https://www.ge.com/research/   For more information, please visit www.ge.com/power/gas and follow GE's Power business on Twitter (https://twitter.com/GE_Power) and LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/company/gepower/).

Experience designers and researchers are working on their most ambitious challenge yet that represents a new frontier in user interfaces: creating a constellation of systems, machines, and people — including wearable gadgets, tablets, smart phones, and appliances — that can communicate with one another in an autonomous fashion. We are constantly adding new functions to gadgets and new devices to the ecosystem without much thought as to their totality or cumulative complexity. In the coming era of ubiquitous sensors and miniaturized mobile computing, designers need to think about how to weave the digital world into our lives at work so seamlessly that we don’t even notice. Already we’re seeing a groundswell of new technologies that insinuate themselves seamlessly into users’ personal lives like the voice and gesture-controlled Xbox, but this is just the beginning. At GE, we want to apply the same embedded intelligence to the world of big iron and people at work to create disruptive experiences, not just products or interfaces, by connecting people with people and people with machines and data. In this talk you will learn how GE Global Research is pursuing new opportunities in analytics visualization, the future of field engineering, wearables, robotics, semiautonomous vehicles, and agents that can be applied to the industrial Internet.
