SECURING THE UK's VEHICLE BATTERY MATERIAL SUPPLYIn the UK and all over the world governments and industries are building huge 'gigafactories' to make batteries for electric vehicles. The dramatic expansion of this entirely new battery market is causing concern amongst industry specialists, who worry about the looming shortage of key battery raw materials.Net Zero Scientific Ltd. (NSZ) has discovered and is developing a novel and very green way of producing on a large scale one major battery ingredient, high purity aluminium oxide (HPA), from low-value manufacturing and other wastes. The process creates no emissions and is a unique source of truly 'net zero' HPA, a strategic raw material with no UK source at all. The world market for this material, first mined as bauxite clay far away then refined and processed using energy intensive and polluting methods is forecast to expand from 25,000 tonnes a year to over 250,000 tonnes a year by 2030, while the average price is expected to hover around £38,000/tonne through the decade. The NZS technology promises good profits, creates a secure domestic supply, cuts waste by boosting the circular economy, and makes a serious contribution to the UK's task of achieving net zero .HPA is already used for making LED lights, flat-screen TV's and synthetic gemstones, but its usefulness in both current lithium and next-generation sodium vehicle batteries is based on trials that show using HPA for coating material for plate-separators in batteries improves almost every aspect of their performance, they can be charged and discharged faster, have less need for battery cooling systems, and have a longer life. So EV's get cheaper and still more efficient and durable.Net Zero Scientific's proprietary technology can make the UK entirely self-sufficient in zero-carbon HPA, thus giving us a local source of material for battery manufacture, one not dependent on trade deals and long-haul shipping. Thus it will reduce the need for imports, cut costs and emissions and help to reduce both land-fill and the export of 'difficult' waste for dumping in the developing world.

在英国和世界各地，政府和行业正在建造巨大的“千兆工厂”，为电动汽车生产电池。这一全新的电池市场的急剧扩张引起了行业专家的担忧，他们担心关键电池原材料的短缺迫在眉睫。Net Zero Scientific Ltd.（NSZ）已经发现并正在开发一种新颖且非常绿色的方法，可以从低价值的制造和其他废物中大规模生产电池的主要成分之一高纯氧化铝（HPA）。该工艺不产生任何排放，是真正“净零”HPA的独特来源，HPA是一种战略原材料，根本没有英国来源。这种材料的世界市场，首先作为铝土矿粘土开采，然后使用能源密集型和污染性方法进行精炼和加工，预计到2030年将从每年25，000吨扩大到每年超过250，000吨，而平均价格预计在十年内徘徊在38，000英镑/吨左右。NZS技术承诺良好的利润，创造安全的国内供应，通过促进循环经济减少浪费，并为英国实现净零的任务做出了重大贡献。HPA已经用于制造LED灯，平板电视和合成宝石，但它在目前的锂和下一代钠汽车电池中的实用性是基于试验，试验表明使用HPA作为板的涂层材料，电池中的隔板几乎改善了电池性能的各个方面，它们可以更快地充电和放电，对电池冷却系统的需求更少，并且寿命更长。Net Zero Scientific的专有技术可以使英国在零碳HPA方面完全自给自足，从而为我们提供了一个本地的电池制造材料来源，而不依赖于贸易协议和长途运输。因此，它将减少对进口的需求，降低成本和排放，并有助于减少填埋和出口“困难”废物倾倒在发展中国家。
