Li-S Energy opens 2-MWh battery cell production facility
Australia's Li-S Energy has opened a 2-MWh lithium sulfur and lithium metal battery production facility in Geelong, Victoria. The company is commercializing technology from Deakin University for lighter batteries, advantageous for drones, electric aviation, and defense. The AUD-10-million facility covers the entire production process, from creating cathode powders to final cell fabrication and testing. The Federal Minister for Industry and Science announced a AUD-1.7-million grant to support the production of high-quality lithium foils and laminates for export.Australia, a major producer of lithium ore, aims to add value to its exports by producing lithium foils domestically. Li-S Energy CEO Lee Finniear sees an opportunity to capitalize on the growing demand for lithium metal foil, which is projected to reach USD 51 billion by 2032. By producing high-value lithium foils locally, Australia can enhance its position in the global market. How is Australia's Li-S Energy capitalizing on the growing demand for lithium foils?

Australia's Next Energy Leap: Hysata Giga-Scale Hydrogen Electrolysers
Australian start-up Hysata has opened a "giga-scale" production plant for an electrolyser technology that claims to be the world's most efficient. The unveiling of the new facility in Port Kembla was made possible with $20.9 million from the Australian Renewable Energy Agency and $3 million from the Queensland government-owned Stanwell Corp. The technology boasts a 95% efficiency rate, far surpassing other electrolyser technologies, and Hysata plans to produce 100MW a year, with a possible capacity for 1GW of production annually. The company has attracted major investors and government funding to develop their 200kW electrolyser and has conditional orders for 9.4GW of capacity. With the reduced waste heat from their more efficient technology, Hysata is well placed to help the world reach its goal of a trillion dollars investment in electrolysers for hard to abate industries. What Benefits Does Hysata's "Giga-Scale" Electrolyser Offer? Hysata’s “Giga-Scale” Electrolyser offers an efficiency rate of 95%, far outperforming other electrolyser technologies. The electrolyser has conditional orders for 9.4GW of capacity and the potential to produce up to 1GW a year. The new production plant was made possible with generous investment from the Australian Renewable Energy Agency and the Queensland government-owned Stanwell Corp. Reduced waste heat from the technology makes it well-suited to hard to abate industries. The technology has attracted major investors and government funding for its development.
