Stanford Energy recently hosted its StorageX International Symposium Industrial Panel virtually. The panel included top battery experts, such as JB Straubel, one of the co-founders at Tesla who left after years as CTO to start Redwood Materials; Celina Mikolajczak of Panasonic; and Heiko Urtel of BASF.
Autoblog has reported that Tesla cofounder and longtime CTO J.B. Straubel has big plans for the battery industry. We already knew that, but we have some new perspective from the recent reporting.
Redwood Materials, the battery and e-waste recycling company started by JB Straubel, has secured a major investment from Amazon’s Climate
Redwood Materials has a plan to recycle lithium ion batteries so their component materials can be used to make new batteries at lower cost.
Tesla hasn’t officially released a Master Plan, Part Trois, but we could pretend this is essentially what Tesla Battery Day is. Sean Mitchell from All Things EV believes that this will reveal a strategy for more affordable energy.
Battery recycling allows the components inside lithium-ion batteries to be reclaimed for use in new batteries — an important part of the transition to zero emission energy.
