Innovative lithium solid-state battery on the verge of a breakthrough - development is also progressing in Germany!

Research is being carried out worldwide on an innovative lithium solid-state battery that will outperform the classic lithium-ion battery and replace it in electric car applications. In Germany, the battery start-up “High Performance Battery” is also researching a promising variant of the innovative battery and is on the verge of series production.

First half of 2024 - almost 60% of Germany's energy needs will be covered by renewables!

As part of the energy transition, the expansion of renewable energies in Germany is in full swing - and the first major successes of the expansion can already be seen. According to preliminary calculations, the Center for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research Baden-Württemberg (ZSW) expects around 58% of gross domestic electricity consumption to be covered by renewable energies in the first half of 2024.

The battery of the future? Research into sodium-ion batteries is making progress

Lithium is the most efficient, but by no means the most sustainable or cost-effective material for manufacturing batteries. The most promising alternative for the future is currently sodium - but so far, energy density and battery materials have been the main factors holding back its breakthrough. Recent research projects give hope.

Electromobility in shipping - on the way to a green future?

Electric driving: What has long since arrived in the automotive industry is far from established in aviation and shipping. Although it has long been known that cruises and container ships have enormous CO2 emissions, shipping is still a long way from being environmentally friendly. At present, there are still many challenges, but also hope - a look at the latest developments.

Our logistics have been awarded the CO2 seal

We are very delighted, that we have been awarded the CO2 seal by our partner wirkaufendeinenabfall.de. This seal certifies a number of environmental improvements that we have been able to achieve with the help of the company's baling presses. In this way, we can make our contribution to increasing the recycling rate and reducing our CO2 footprint.

#teamkutter is growing

In the last few months, we have welcomed four new employees to our company. We would like to welcome them to the team!

Industrial partnership between the EU and Norway: New battery raw materials agreement signed

The EU and the Kingdom of Norway agreed the Green Alliance back in April 2023. Around a year later, they have now agreed on a strategic partnership for raw materials and battery value chains. The cooperation defined in the declaration of intent covers five areas.

Lithium from the Upper Rhine - sustainable and promising?

Lithium is also known as “white gold”. This is because it is still essential for the production of smartphones and electric cars, for example, but access to and extraction of this critical raw material are contested. Lithium has also been found in deep layers of rock in the Upper Rhine Graben - a company has now started to extract the precious metal using geothermal energy. But what potential does extraction have here in Germany?

China's green future: On the rise with greentech

China is on the way to establishing its dominance in greentech.

The calcium-air battery: a sustainable alternative to lithium-ion batteries?

Lithium-ion batteries offer enormous advantages thanks to their high energy density and long service life and are therefore widely used worldwide. However, they are repeatedly criticized, particularly due to the scarcity of raw materials, which are difficult to recycle. The search for alternatives is therefore omnipresent. Researchers from China are now working on promising calcium-air batteries.
