According to the World Bank, clean power minigrids are the least-cost electrification solution for 300 million people in sub-Saharan Africa. However, the high upfront CAPEX cost of minigrid systems, uncertain customer demand, and restrictive financial ecosystem significantly impede sector growth and sustainability. Within this framework, batteries are a m...

Aceleron has developed lithium batteries that employ compression technology in place of the traditionally used spot welding, this enables the batteries to be the world's most maintainable battery on the market. However with the innovation in the design comes some hesitation in the industry, Aceleron must now test and demonstrate the capabilities of the co...

The need for a resilient, agile and reliable energy storage is critical for the growth of the economy and its decarbonisation of infrastructure. Developed and developing countries both have their own challenges to address; while the cost of battery packs are significant for developed countries, reliable energy access is what developing countries require t...

Our project will develop an innovative digital platform to size, finance, locally source, and lease advanced batteries (like li-ion variations and flow batteries) to sustain expandable minigrid systems, providing long-term, affordable energy access. Streamlining this battery expansion value chain can lower CAPEX and support commercial scalability for mini...

In order for rural communities in the developing world to access productive uses like welding or flour milling, they require access to minigrid-scale power (typically \>10kwp). Yet minigrids are notoriously commercially unsustainable, due to the capital expenditure required, and difficulties in efficiently matching loads and supply throughout the day and ...

The decarbonisation of the transport sector in the UK, will see the migration from solely internal combustion powered vehicles to electric or hybrid vehicles only, as early as 2030\. This will result in the exponential growth of spent Electric Vehicle (EV) batteries stockpiled, as they must be replaced every 7-10 years. After this period, the EV batteries...

Awaiting Public Project Summary

The Ethiopian Minigrid Extension and Energy Storage (EMEES) project will further develop an innovative biomass conversion technology (PyroPower) which received Energy Catalyst funding (grant 105268). The project is effectively a Feasibility Study which will assess the viability of setting up an in-country demonstration plant in Ethiopia. The project defin...

"The growth in the electrification of transport, including electric vehicles (EVs), has been driven by lithium-ion batteries. However, to make the next-generation of vehicles cheaper and more efficient, we need to be able to monitor, diagnose and respond to batteries in real-time. This project aims to combine new types of sensors to feed data into a batte...

"Project VALUABLE's key objectives are to develop commercially viable metrology and test processes as well as new supply chain concepts for recycling, reuse and remanufacturing of automotive lithium-ion batteries to create a complete End-of-Life (EoL) supply chain network within the UK. The consortium's vision is to 1) increase the value-add of the batter...

The Clean+Cool Mission to Silicon Valley raised several key improvements which could be made to ACE investor pitch as well as the need to follow up with some of key potential investors. This project will help ACE to address the key feedback received from the US investors, including better understanding the market requirements, proving the performance of s...
