While batteries for stationary storage are a key element to deploy renewable and stable electricity generation, the high costs and safety concerns of Lithium-ion batteries limit their usage.

GMT has developed several breakthrough solutions allowing the construction of a cost-effective and safe Aluminum ion battery.

A crucial innovation in this context is the use of the carbon nanotube thin films as cathode for aluminum battery produced alongside the clean hydrogen.

Implementation Concept

Battery production comprises three steps: Component production, cell manufacturing and battery assembly. The core know-how in the cell manufacturing process lies in the formation step and is crucial for  production of high-quality cells.

Production of AIBs is very similar to LIB or SIBs.
AIBs can therefore be used as drop-in technologies requiring only minor changes to existing production machinery.

According to European benchmark values from

battery production, the production hall planned by GMT offers sufficient space for a production capacity capacity of 100 GWh and beyond. The final layout  depends on the machineselection and value stream design.

Crucial for the production is a controlled environment.
The procured electrolyte is stored in large tanks and injected under a protective atmosphere.

As contaminations pose a threat to a functional cell, a controlled atmosphere with low humidity and a clean room are required for the cell manufacturing to achieve quality.

The most important step is the formation and part of the core know-how of the cell manufacturing. Expertise in this step is essential to produce long-lasting and high performing batteries.

The great solution 

Green hydrogen is presented as a viable alternative to decarbonize the energy sector, but its transportation presents a great challenge.  Conversion into ammonia to facilitate transportation considerably increases its cost.

In this context, flexible pipes emerge as the great solution.  Its ability to transport hydrogen efficiently and safely over long distances could revolutionize the distribution of this clean energy source.

Advantages of flexible pipes for green hydrogen:

Cost reduction: By eliminating the need for conversion to ammonia, flexible pipes significantly reduce the final cost of green hydrogen.

Greater reach: The flexibility of these pipelines allows you to reach remote areas where the installation of rigid infrastructure would be expensive or impossible.

Scalability: As demand for green hydrogen grows, flexible pipelines can be easily adapted to meet new needs.

Safety: Flexible pipes are designed to resist leaks and ruptures, ensuring safe transportation of hydrogen.

Potential impact:

The widespread adoption of flexible pipelines for the transport of green hydrogen will significantly boost its development and use, accelerating the transition towards a more sustainable energy economy.

The production process involves the hydrolysis of water using water nanoparticles created by cavitation and photo-metallic catalysis.  This innovative technology allows CO2, a greenhouse gas, to be converted into a clean and sustainable fuel.

Potential impact.

This new synthetic fuel has the potential to revolutionize the energy industry.  Being compatible with existing infrastructure, it could easily replace fossil fuels without the need for major changes to transportation and distribution systems.

Advantages:

Carbon neutral: Does not contribute to global warming.

Same characteristics: Can be used on current engines and systems without modifications.

Pollutant-free: Reduces air pollution and harmful emissions.

Reasonable price: Competitive with fossil fuels.

Abundant raw material: Uses CO2 and water, abundant and easily accessible resources.

The world's main laboratories have analyzed the new synthetic fuel and have agreed that it is a disruptive technology with enormous potential.  Experts point out that this advance could be key to combating climate change and decarbonizing the global economy.
