Graphene Manufacturing Group is a clean-technology company that has developed and proven its own proprietary production process to manufacture Graphene powder from readily available low-cost feedstock. This process produces high quality, low cost, scalable, ‘tuneable’ and contaminant-free graphene for energy saving and energy storage applications.

Vaulta’s award-winning patented battery casing design architecture eliminates the need for welding, screws and glues, which all contribute to the current lack of repair, re-use and recycling of batteries worldwide. Additionally, Vaulta highly thermally conductive polymer battery packs are electrically insular, meaning heat can be pulled from battery packs without adding design complexity.

The QUT Energy Storage Research Group provides critical support to the battery development industry in Australia.

The demand for batteries is forecast to increase 10x by 2030 with climate change driving the move to renewable energy and electric vehicles. To drive this growth, industry is demanding more energy dense, lighter, faster, environmentally friendly batteries. Li‑S Energy’s new lithium sulfur and lithium metal batteries will power the world’s future energy needs.

Janus Electric is a global leader in battery swap technology for heavy transport, and were the first in the world to have commercial operations on the road. This interview gives a great insight into one of the important routes to decarbonising heavy road transport.

Working between Australia and Europe, Sandrika Ryan is currently leading the expansion of a first of its kind refinery in western Germany, set to annually produce 15,000 tonnes of precursor cathode active material for the EV market. The refinery introduces to the battery market PBT’s (Australian developed) smarter, simpler and cleaner technology, driving sustainability and environmental excellence.
