South Korea's POSCO drops plans for Chilean battery material plant SANTIAGO/SEOUL(Reuters) - South Korea’s POSCO has pulled out of a project to build battery parts in Chile, the Asian steelmaker said, little more than a year after winning guaranteed access to cheap lithium from top producer Albemarle. FILE PHOTO: The logo of POSCO is seen at the company's headquarters in Seoul, South Korea, July 20, 2016. REUTERS/Kim Hong-Ji POSCO, together with partner Samsung SDI, won a 2018 Chilean government tender to build a battery-parts factory in the country’s northern desert in exchange for a 27-year supply of low-cost lithium. The problem, POSCO told Reuters, is that the project it proposed requires lithium hydroxide, a type of the metal increasingly favored by makers of batteries for electric vehicles (EV) but one not produced by Albemarle in Chile. Albemarle in Chile primarily produces lithium carbonate, a variety of the metal that is widely used in smaller consumer electronics. Samsung, the world’s largest maker of smartphones, told Reuters that it is still reviewing the project following POSCO’s announcement. POSCO’s decision is the latest in a string of setbacks for Chile, which has struggled to modernize its lithium policies, boost output and develop a domestic battery industry, despite having the world’s largest supplies of the metal and rising global EV demand. Albemarle and the Chilean government in 2016 signed an agreement that allows Albemarle to more than triple its output of lithium, which is critically important for batteries for electric cars. But the deal requires the company reserve as much as 25% of its production for companies seeking to build batteries or their parts in Chile. The agreement does not specify whether Albemarle should produce lithium carbonate or lithium hydroxide at its facilities. Albemarle and Corfo, which leases the company its mining rights in Chile, initially disagreed on how to price the lithium it would provide to the battery makers, but have since come to agreement. Neither has offered details of the settlement. China’s Sichuan Fulin Transportation Group Co and Chile’s privately held Molymet also won access to the discounted lithium in last year’s tender. An Albemarle spokesman confirmed the Posco-Samsung joint venture “was not interested in the lithium carbonate produced by Albemarle in Chile,” but said the company was still in open discussions with Fulin and Molymet. Fulin and Molymet did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the status of their projects. Following last year’s tender, Chile’s government said the three projects together would bring $754 million in investment to Chile, and promised at least 664 jobs would be created. The deals were widely seen as a foot in the door into Chile as countries and global corporations scramble to lock down supplies of key metals used in batteries that power cell phones, tablets and electric vehicles. POSCO last summer said it would build a lithium plant in Argentina to help secure its own supply. That announcement came as POSCO also said it would buy lithium mining rights in Argentina from Galaxy Resource Ltd’s in a deal worth $280 million.

Wahre Durchbrüche in der Batteriewelt sind seltener als Ankündigungen vermuten lassen, aber manchmal ist eine große Innovation ebenso praktisch in der Herstellung wie brillant. Nokia enthüllt 5G-fähigen Lithium-Nanotube-Akku mit 2,5-facher Laufzeit. Die neuen Batterien sind hauptsächlich für stromhungrige 5G-Geräte wie Drohnen, Internet-of-Things-Produkte und vernetzte Elektrofahrzeuge gedacht, könnten aber breiter eingesetzt werden. Die Innovation könnte die Lebensdauer auf 25 Jahre erhöhen oder die Größe der Batterie um über 50% verringern. https://venturebeat.com/2019/06/21/nokia-reveals-5g-ready-lithium-nanotube-battery-with-2-5x-run-time/amp/?__twitter_impression=true

Ach hört auf mit Tesla

So jetzt geht das Geldverdienen für Eigentümer mit der Powerwall los (virtual-power-plant) Tesla ist dem virtuellen Kraftwerk von National Grid beigetreten, um Powerwall-Eigentümern die Möglichkeit zu geben, bis zu 1.000 US-Dollar pro Jahr zu verdienen, damit die Stromversorger einen Teil ihres Stroms nutzen können. „Kunden von National Grid in Massachusetts oder Rhode Island können ihre Powerwall jetzt bei ConnectedSolutions registrieren, einem Programm, das Batterien im gesamten Bundesstaat miteinander verbindet, um ein großes Angebot an nachhaltiger Energie für Spitzenlastzeiten zu schaffen.“ https://electrek.co/2019/06/21/tesla-powerwall-earn-national-grid-virtual-power-plant/amp/?__twitter_impression=true

Ihr könnt euch ja ein Tesla kaufen wenn die Aktie auf 1 euro steht.

Ist ja nicht eindeutig, aber wenn ich an mir runtergucke, bin ich der Meinung, ich bin ein Männchen😂😂😂 Die letzten beiden Buchstaben sind Synonyme für bestimmte Begriffe. Was besseres ist mir damals nicht eingefallen😂

Vielleicht aber auch "divers"🙈😂

Ich dachte immer Dixa wäre eine Frau 🙈 sorry Dixa wenn dem nicht so ist 😊

@ Bull.... bekomme ich auch ein Tesla?😂 Gute Frage.... ein Treffen wird es bestimmt mal geben...

In GB machtt gerade folgender Artikel die Runde: Electric cars could save drivers £41,000 in their lifetime, study says – here’s all you need to know EDF claims that drivers each spend £56,000 on petrol during their lifetime, but that the average cost of charging an electric car is £15,000 https://inews.co.uk/news/business/electric-cars-petrol-cost-money-savings-switch-benefits-study/amp/?__twitter_impression=true
