SHANGHAI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#SolidEnergy--SES Holdings Pte. Ltd. (SES), a global leader in the development and initial production of high-performance hybrid lithium-metal rechargeable (Li-Metal) batteries for electric vehicles (EVs) and other applications, has established the world’s first pilot production line capable of scaling up high-concentration, solvent-in-salt electrolyte production.

The pilot production line is capable of synthesizing SES’s proprietary solvent and manufacturing a high-concentration solvent-in-salt electrolyte formulation designed specifically for SES’s hybrid Li-Metal batteries for automotive use. The facility is currently capable of producing 5 tons of electrolyte per year, with additional production capacity expansion of up to 250 tons of electrolyte per year to meet future hybrid Li-Metal battery demand.

Unlike all-solid-state batteries, SES’s battery technology features high-concentration solvent-in-salt electrolytes with proprietary solvent molecules that have low volatility and are self-extinguishing. SES’s unique electrolyte formulation is stable with Li-Metal and enables hybrid Li-Metal batteries that have high energy density over a wide range of temperature and power requirements, and enhanced cycle life and safety.

“This pilot production capability at our Shanghai facility will ensure that SES will be prepared to meet electrolyte supply needs for our hybrid Li-Metal batteries,” said Qichao Hu, Founder & CEO, SES. “Our electrolyte pilot production capability is a key enabler for SES’s development of automotive-sized hybrid Li-Metal batteries that will power the next generation of electric vehicles.”

Earlier in 2021, SES announced the signing of “A-sample” joint development agreements with General Motors and Hyundai Motor Company. These agreements are a sign of confidence in SES’ hybrid Li-Metal technology as SES is the only company working on Li-Metal technology that has entered into A-sample joint development agreements for Li-Metal technology with major OEMs. The pilot production of electrolyte will help SES accelerate its automotive battery cell development for current and future automotive partners.

Coupled with proprietary and unique AI monitoring software that continually monitors and maintains battery safety, these intelligent batteries are designed to meet the demands of automotive manufacturers looking to introduce energy-dense batteries in long-range EVs.

SES is a next-generation battery technology company spun-off from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Headquartered in Singapore, SES currently operates two battery prototyping facilities in the United States and China.

SES entered into a definitive agreement for a business combination with Ivanhoe Capital Acquisition Corp. (NYSE: IVAN), a publicly listed special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) on July 13, 2021. The transaction will create the first publicly traded hybrid Li-Metal battery company that combines the high energy density of Li-Metal with cost effective manufacturability of Li-ion at scale.

AquaCulture startup is turning seaweed into livestock feed, reducing methane produced by cows by up to 90%

HENDERSON, Nev.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CH4 Global, a pioneer in utilizing seaweed to drastically reduce ruminant methane emissions, today announced that it has raised US$13 million in Series A funding led by DCVC and DCVC Bio with participation from several other investors with a strong interest in climate change.

Today the 1.5 billion cows on the planet produce more than 150 million tons of methane per year. This is the largest single source of methane globally, and the UN cites methane as 86 times more impactful than CO₂ on global warming over the next 20 years. At more than 12.9 billion tons CO₂-e per year (at an average of 100 kg methane/cow), this is a larger GHG output than from the US, the EU, and India combined. CH4 Global has established a leadership position in the development and commercialization of a unique red seaweed (Asparagopsis) which, when added to cattle feed, drastically reduces the animals’ methane emissions by up to 90% as well as improving feed conversion. In addition, Asparagopsis seaweed farming (aka aquaculture) helps to reverse the growing levels of excess CO₂ in the oceans and reduce ocean acidification, thus reinvigorate local marine life.

“The team at CH4 Global is building an extraordinary company and its mission is critically important to dramatically reduce methane from ruminants now and through the coming decade. The company’s strong sense of urgency aligns with recent reports that action in the next ten years is critical for the climate crisis,” said John Hamer PhD, Partner at DCVC Bio, who has joined the CH4 Global board of directors.

Further underscoring the opportunity and impact, the recent May 2021 United Nations report stated that “methane is the single biggest lever for climate change impact in the next 25 years”. In addition, the recent IPCC 6^th report has changed the global conversation on the role of anthropogenic methane in climate change.

Zachary Bogue, Partner at DCVC, will also join the company’s board and added, “The role of reducing anthropogenic methane in this current decade, globally, is pivotal for the world to reduce emissions sufficiently to meet 2030 GHG reduction targets, and we are excited to partner with CH4 Global as the recognized leader in this journey. The fact that CH4 have farmers at the center of their strategy will be a critical element as they commercialize.”

Founded in 2019, GH4 Global has made progress over the last two years in passing proof of concept and scaling toward full commercialization. With offices in the US, Australia and New Zealand, the company will use this new funding to establish a new research and production facility in Adelaide, South Australia and bring its first commercial product to market in 2022. The company will also focus on supply chain optimization to develop reliable, repeatable manufacturing capabilities to scale production in 2023 and beyond. This work is fueled by the company’s sense of urgency that we must act quickly if we are to be able to avoid a climate tipping point.

“What we've developed at CH4 Global is the hatchery, aquaculture, processing and formulation capability for Asparagopsis to reduce the methane output of those 1.5 billion cows,” said Steve Meller, PhD, co-founder and CEO, CH4 Global. “We are formulating our unique feed supplement products to meet the specific needs of each cattle market segment including for feedlot operations, dairies, as well as for remote and generally unattended cattle around the world. Our initial focus is Australia and New Zealand, the native home of Asparagopsis, as we plan to have our first product ready for market in 2022 from our market demonstration facility in Adelaide Australia.”

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Fuel Cell - Hydrogen Policy and Regulations by Key Countries" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The Paris Accord of 2015 is a major landmark for global climate action and move toward a zero-carbon society. Understandably, this has led to a vast interest in renewable power across the globe. However, this alone is not enough to decarbonize the global community.

Hydrogen is fast becoming a key component in the transition from a petroleum economy to a low-carbon society, and governments across the globe have been active in investments in both renewable energy and hydrogen production using this renewable energy.

Another interesting aspect is the potential for hydrogen to be applied across industries, including steel manufacturing, fertilizers, heating and power for buildings, and mobility. As such, many countries have come up with a hydrogen strategy prioritizing their targets and have committed to investments running into billions over the next decade.

While some countries have prioritized production and export, others have made domestic and foreign investments to ensure future supply. There are also specific targets relating to production, in terms of cost or quantity, or specific areas that are being targeted for decarbonizing, such as industries, heating and power, or mobility.

For hydrogen to be able to truly decarbonize, however, it is essential that the power used for producing hydrogen also has low or zero emissions. When using renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind, and hydropower that are zero-emission solutions, the hydrogen so produced is classified as 'green' hydrogen. While other low-carbon solutions, such as using Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) are often termed as 'blue' hydrogen or the one produced using nuclear power is called 'purple' hydrogen.

The demand for decarbonization, increasing investments into renewable energy, and hydrogen's potential for wide application areas make hydrogen key in achieving a low-carbon society. While the investments into the hydrogen ecosystem are only just beginning, they are poised for rapid growth in the coming years.

The PG&E Corporation Foundation Funding Scholarships Totaling $250,000 to Students Pursuing Higher Education in California

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) today announced that 40 students from hometowns across its service area will receive scholarships totaling $250,000 from the 2021 Better Together STEM Scholarship Program.

The PG&E Corporation Foundation (The Foundation) funds the scholarships. This year, The Foundation is funding 20 scholarships of $10,000 each and 20 scholarships of $2,500 each. The scholarships are given to students pursuing a degree in the Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) disciplines. STEM education fosters ingenuity, creativity, and experimentation, leading to new ideas, innovations, and technological advancements that can have global impact.

Jose Ochoa of Mendota is attending the University of California, Berkeley.

“I am extremely honored to have been selected as the recipient of the PG&E STEM Scholarship. Receiving this award encourages me to keep on persevering, making my family proud, and breaking boundaries. Your generosity is greatly appreciated and inspiring to me. I hope to one day be able to do the same for the youth of the next generation,” said Ochoa.

Scholarship winner Amirlan “Amy” Erdenedalai of Alameda is a sophomore at the University of California, Irvine, pursing a degree in environmental engineering. Erdenedalai hopes to work in the hydrology field to improve universal water quality and promote sustainability.

“When I first saw the email declaring that I was one of the scholarship recipients, I was beyond thrilled and filled with joy. I was practically dancing in line for my school ID. Thanks to PG&E’s extremely generous scholarship, I will be the first in my family to be studying and graduating from a college in the United States. This scholarship has further motivated me to value my college education and granted me the power to make my dreams and goals a reality,” said Erdenedalai.

Scholarships are awarded based on academic achievement, demonstrated participation and leadership in school and community activities, and financial need.

“All of us at PG&E and The Foundation are focused on California’s future and supporting inclusive programs that assist the next generation of creators and innovators in STEM-based fields,” said Robert Kenney, PG&E Senior Vice President, Regulatory and External Affairs, and Chair of The PG&E Corporation Foundation Board of Directors.

Winners must plan to enroll in full-time undergraduate study for the entire 2021-2022 academic year and be seeking their first undergraduate degree at an accredited four-year institution in California.

TYLER, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Field Service joins the list of VME’s services. With the acquisition of Cortex Process Equipment, VME now combines the power of advanced engineering and lean fabrication with the hands-on expertise of a field-service team.

“Adding Cortex to our line-up fills a void for many of our customers,” says Brad Stinson, VME’s Vice President – Onshore Division. “The reality is, field conditions are not perfect. They aren’t 100-percent predictable. Well site facilities inevitably need adjustments or repairs. Now, instead of our customers having to work around a third-party service company, they can come to us – the people who already know their equipment and operations inside-out.”

Not only does Cortex have the right technical qualifications – they also align with VME’s Core Values of Integrity, Fairness, Responsibility, and Clarity.

“When we found Cortex,” Stinson says, “we quickly learned that they have it all: the right people, the right instincts, and the right customer-focused personality.”

Cortex founder Brandon Plumb agrees. He says, “We both care about people and seeing a job well-done through to completion. Our company missions align, our people align, and we each fill something of a void that the other needed to serve our customers more comprehensively.”

Accessing VME’s field services happens in two ways.

1. An extension of engineering and fabrication. It’s offered as a final step of all new engineering and fabrication projects. Every project is eligible for installation, commissioning and start-up as part of our commitment to our customers’ success.
2. After Market services. New customers who need current well-sites serviced can contact Cortex at (833) 646-2513 or This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

Since only January 2020, the relationship has already benefited customers from both companies:

• VME’s customers are getting well-site problems solved quickly and on-site. Cortex’s field experts are diagnosing problems, and VME’s engineers are drawing up the plans for fabrication.
• Cortex customers are dreaming bigger and better. There are no limits now that they have not only the custom surface equipment and field service they’ve trusted for years, but they also have engineers and increased manufacturing capacity.

Stinson adds, “They’re exactly what we needed to become the one-stop shop that our customers have been asking for.”

In addition to being boots-on-the-ground field experts, Cortex specializes in custom surface equipment.

This means, VME also offers:

• Spare Parts
• Start-up & Commissioning
• Process optimization
• Debottlenecking
• Environmental Compliance
• Safety Compliance
• Preventative Maintenance

VME’s acquisition of Cortex gives customers more control over their projects – from the beginning all the way through to production.

Customers Save Money and Reduce Pollution with PG&E Energy Efficiency Resources and Programs

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) is promoting ways to protect the planet, save energy and use it more efficiently in recognition of National Energy Efficiency Day (EE Day) today October 6, 2021. This annual national event that began in 2016 recognizes energy efficiency as the quickest and cleanest way to meet energy needs, reduce pollution, and cut utility bills.

“We continue to empower customers with relevant energy efficiency tips, tools and programs to better understand how much energy use goes into heating, cooling, water heating and specific appliances such as refrigeration, EV charging and lighting. This valuable information allows customers to make informed choices when it comes to meeting their energy needs, product purchases and reducing usage,” said Marlene Santos, PG&E executive vice president and chief customer officer.

Technology continues to play a significant role in supporting PG&E and the state’s ambitious decarbonization goals. For example, PG&E’s Home Energy Report program (HER) offers tailored information on how households use energy and compares with similar homes in the neighborhood, along with savings tips and details on energy saving programs.

Today, the HERs reach 2.9 million customers, more customers than any other PG&E energy-efficiency program. The amount of energy saved because of the reports is greater than that saved through any of the utility’s other efficiency programs. In 2020 alone, the energy savings from HERs translated into approximately $42 million in customer bill savings.

In addition to helping customers save energy, HER customers also report a high level of satisfaction and engagement. In a recent customer survey, more than 87 percent of PG&E customers reported actively reading the HERs and more than half said the reports motivated them to reduce energy use.

As we celebrate National EE Day, PG&E asks customers to consider the following ways to make sustainable choices, lower energy use, and bills, this fall.

• Visit pge.com/myrateanalysis to see rate options and learn more about the best rate plan based on energy use in the last 12 months.
• Learn more about PG&E’s Energy Savings Assistance program which provides qualified customers with energy-saving improvements at no charge.
• Take shorter showers to reduce water-heating costs. Turn on a 5-minute playlist for each shower then challenge yourself to finish before the music does. Encourage others in your home to take this approach.
• Don’t waste money on electronics or appliances that aren’t in use. Turn off and unplug unused televisions, computers, phone chargers, coffee makers and other devices.
• Give your refrigerator “breathing room.” Clean the coils and don’t set the thermostat too low. Keep the refrigerator between 38 F and 42 F and the freezer between zero- and five-degrees F.
• Wash full loads of laundry using cold water. Modern detergents work great in cold water, and about 90 percent of the energy used by clothes washers goes to water heating.
