The Battery Technology Podcast | Episode 43 | Achieving Sustainability in the Battery Industry | TDI Sustainability
One of the subjects I’ve been wanting to explore in more depth is the concept of sustainability. Just how does an industry that requires the extraction of metals and minerals, come to terms with achieving this in a sustainable way.
In this episode I’m delighted to be joined by Assheton Carter, Executive Chair of TDI Sustainability, to discuss exactly what sustainability means in the context of the battery industry and how it might be achieved.

The concept of circularity is central to the global Net Zero objective. Ensuring batteries are directed to their best use after serving their original purpose, when up to 80% of their energy capacity is still available, is critical to achieving to that goal.
But circularity won’t happen by itself – potential buyers and sellers need confidence in the market, with data, traceability and transparency. That requires a whole ecosystem of technology to make the market function efficiently.
I'm joined by William Bergh, CEO and Founder of Cling Systems to discuss the innovation necessary to enable battery circularity.

The descent of Northvolt into Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection came as a major shock to the battery technology industry.
Seemingly overnight Northvolt went from Europe's best hope of a globally competitive homegrown EV battery manufacturing play, to life support.
What are the lessons to be learnt from the Northvolt experience and do they sound the death knell for hopes of a European battery manufacturing.
In a personal opinion piece, I try to identify the issues that brought Northvolt to its knees.
