Integrated battery recycling and repurposing solutions provider Lohum on Monday said it has teamed up with MG Motor India to develop second-life solutions for the car maker's EV batteries. Under the collaboration, Lohum will reuse end-of-first-life batteries of MG electric vehicles to build 2nd-life Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) for a wide variety of clean energy applications in domestic urban and rural markets. 05 Jun, 2023, 02:54 PM IST The company said it has expanded its partnership with EV fleet partners Lithium Urban Technologies, Everest Fleet Pvt Ltd and Moove in order to deploy 25,000 electric cars in India on the Uber platform over the next two years. The company also announced a partnership with SIDBI to unlock Rs 1,000 crore in EV financing. 24 May, 2023, 01:33 PM IST Morgan Stanley has given an 'overweight' rating to Sun Pharmaceuticals, citing several upcoming growth factors. JP Morgan has also rated Exide Industries and Kfin Technologies as 'overweight' and 'neutral', respectively, while Citi has a 'buy' rating on Exide. JP Morgan has given an 'underweight' rating to Pidilite Industries.

Lithium Urban Technologies Private Limited has partnered with Indian software giant Wipro to expand its fleet of electric vehicles (EV) for transporting its employees across its offices in India. The companies plan to roll out the fleet of EVs powered by renewable energy in a phased manner over the next 12-18 months catering to Wipro’s transportations needs across the country. Lithium, a corporate employee transportation (CET) aggregator, said it started its service at Wipro’s Hyderabad campus in June 2018 and has covered over four million kilometers with its electric cars to date, saving about 800 million tons in terms of carbon dioxide emissions in this period. Wipro said 40-50% of the energy used by the company is from renewable energy sources, and it aims to convert 35% of its vehicle fleet to EVs in the next 18 months. It aims to reach 100 million ‘green’ kilometers. “This journey which started in Hyderabad is now being expanded nationally, backed by proven results. We aim to deliver some fantastic results in terms of both cost savings and carbon footprint reduction. It is indeed our privilege to partner with Wipro in serving the nation and saving the planet,” said Sanjay Krishnan, co-founder and CEO of Lithium Urban Technologies. Lithium Urban Technologies says it’s the owner of the world’s largest fleet of EVs outside China. It owns fleets of EVs and associated charging infrastructure with the technology to back it like telematics, fleet management systems, scheduli...

Fraunhofer UMSICHT conducted a Life Cycle Assessment for battery-grade lithium hydroxide monohydrate (LHM) for the German-Canadian company RockTech. They plan to build a Converter in Guben (Lausitz) in order to serve the electromobility sector. The results: The LCA shows a base case carbon footprint of 10.5 kg per kilogram of battery-grade LHM. Under optimal conditions, the LCA also demonstrates potential to further decrease emissions significantly to 5.4 kg. Fraunhofer UMSICHT has assessed the “cradle-to-gate” ecological impact of battery-grade LHM produced at Rock Tech’s Guben Converter with focus on the carbon footprint. The base case for the carbon footprint is calculated to be 10.5 kg CO2-eq/kg LHM including all upstream emissions, and the assumed longest distance of transportation from Australia to Germany. In the three scenarios assessed in the LCA, the main sources of emissions per 1 kilogram of LHM were attributed to the energy supply for the Guben Converter (average grid mix electricity, natural gas, and steam, excl. transport) with 4.3 kg CO 2-eq., mining and concentration of spodumene with 3.8 kg CO 2-eq, and transportation and shipping of spodumene concentrate with 0.7 kg CO 2-eq. The LCA study was additionally subjected to a critical review by DEKRA in accordance with the standards ISO 14071:2006 (section 4.3.3) and ISO 14044:2006 (section 6.2). Potential for lower emissions "From the point of view of the literature, Rock Tech thus achieves a good value in th...
