Extreme fast charging battery technology company StoreDot announced a partnership with Circulor, which offers battery supply chain traceability. They will track the provenance and CO2 emissions of the raw materials used in StoreDot’s battery cells and manufacturing cells process.
The work with Circulor aims to create transparent battery supply chains.
StoreDot and Circulor are implementing Circulor’s traceability solution to follow upstream battery material production and the corresponding embedded carbon emissions. Full traceability for global car manufacturers will help them meet regulatory requirements, it said.
Information gathered will be made available to electric vehicle OEM customers and regulators for ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) efforts.
StoreDot CEO Dr Doron Myersdorf said: “It is essential that StoreDot offers its automotive OEM customers and investors full transparency of CO2 emissions, as well as the materials and components of our extreme fast charging ‘100in5’ battery cells.”
StoreDot is aiming to develop cell technology capable of delivering 100 miles on a five-minute charge by 2024. These ~ 300Wh/kg silicon cells are set to be produced as part of a series.
StoreDot has also joined the German government’s “Battery Pass” project as an associate member alongside Circulor. The two companies will continue to work within the project to strengthen industry collaboration and prepare for the enactment of the EU Battery Regulation.
