Increasing resource efficiency and sustainability of hard carbon synthesis

Batri是一家总部位于英国的中小企业。Batri寻求与斯旺西大学（SU）的材料和制造研究所合作，以创造一种创新的英国生产的煤硬碳。该项目旨在评估使用煤炭作为硬碳生产的可持续原料的可行性，提供诸如降低电池制造成本和环境影响等好处。通过使用煤炭代替生物质生产阳极，该项目旨在支持目前服务不足的英国采矿业（主要是威尔士和北方英格兰）。这条位于英国的供应链改善了整个行业对硬碳使用的整体可持续性，以及过度依赖和相关的环境影响。通过开发专门针对钠电池技术的新硬碳合成方法，并使用可持续的英国来源材料，这一开创性项目将为电池材料生产的新标准铺平道路。这消除了能源密集型有机碳到硬碳转化的必要性，提供了符合英国净零排放目标的显着碳节约。

Batri is a UK Based SME. Batri seeks to collaborate with the Materials and Manufacturing Research Institute at Swansea University (SU), to create an innovative, UK-produced hard carbon from coal. The project aims to assess the feasibility of using coal as a sustainable feedstock for hard carbon production, offering benefits such as reduced cost and environmental impact of battery manufacturing.By utilising coal instead of biomass for anode production, the project aims to support the now largely underserved UK mining sector (predominantly Wales and Northern England). This UK-based supply-chain improves overall sustainability, and the overreliance and associated environmental impacts, of hard carbon use across the industry.By developing a new hard carbon synthesis method specifically aimed at sodium battery technology and using sustainable UK-sourced materials, this pioneering project will pave the way for a new standard of battery material production. This removes the necessity for energy-intensive organic to hard carbon conversion, providing significant carbon savings in line with UK net zero emissions targets.
