Ready to geek out over exciting new battery chemistry? This week on the podcast, Bill talks all things residential storage with George Kuo, the senior director of products and solutions and product management at Canadian Solar.Learn how Canadian Solar and their subsidiaries transform the way homeowners consume and supply energy back to the grid, and how the IRA creates incentives for individual homeowners to add rooftop solar and storage.

Major players in the battery space thrive on the "what's next" factor, but for years, the focus has only been on cathodes. To level up battery technologies, a major change to the anode side is electrifying the industry.When it comes to Li-Metal, new anode technologies are helping them forge the future of batteries. Listen in as President Kunal Phalpher breaks down how Li-Metal is improving the process and technology to produce the lithium anodes and lithium metal needed by next generation batteries.

Our first episode of 2023 is here, and it's a heavy one. This week, Bill Derasmo talks with Forbes 30 Under 30 2022 winner and cofounder of Salient Energy, Ryan Brown. Tune in now to learn how Salient Energy uses zinc to create a safe, low-cost alternative to lithium-ion in the stationary space.

Can money be made off of parked cars? With vehicle-to-grid (V2X) technology, an EV can pay for itself. Even utilities can access V2X value streams if they're willing to embrace the change.From bidirectional technology to frequency regulation, join host Bill Derasmo and his guest Fermata Energy Founder and CEO David Slutzky as they discuss the ins and outs of Fermata's V2X technology and its impact on the auto and electric power industries.

When you think about electric vehicles (EV), the first thing that comes to mind is the brand name vehicle out on the road. But batteries are being used for more than just everyday EVs — and Electrovaya is working to make them safer and longer lasting.Listen in as host Bill Derasmo and his guest Electrovaya CEO Dr. Raj Dasgupta discuss innovations in the EV space, from ceramic separators to electric industrial vehicles operating 24 hours a day inside of distribution centers for many Fortune 500 companies.

The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA) is the most significant legislation related to climate change in U.S. history. With it comes significant tax implications for the clean energy industry, including renewables, storage, electric vehicles, and more.Join host Bill Derasmo and Troutman Pepper partners Judy Kwok and Marc Machlin as they break down the IRA and its effects across the energy sector.

With the ever-increasing production of electric vehicles and our continued dependence on lithium-ion batteries, one key question persists: What happens when a battery reaches its end of life?In this episode, host Bill Derasmo and his guest Megan O'Connor, CEO and co-founder of Nth Cycle, discuss Nth Cycle's modular technology that solves major challenges for recyclers and provides a greener alternative to today's chemical processes.

Over the past decade, there has been a significant push in investing in green and renewable technologies, particularly in battery, solar, and wind technologies. As a result, an increase in patent filings in this space has occurred, especially around battery technology as the transition to electric vehicles speeds up.In the first episode of our EV Tech Series, host Bill Derasmo and his guests, fellow Troutman Pepper Partners Greg Len and Frank Liu, discuss all things patent litigation — from concerns about current patent litigation to the public forums for patent litigation to green energy patent litigation trends. You don't want to miss their takeaways on the future of green energy patent litigation.

The lithium-ion battery space remains hot, and with breakthroughs like the use of silicone anodes and other innovations, it is poised for continued growth.In this episode, Bill Derasmo and his guest Connor Hund, the director of business strategy and operations for NanoGraf, discuss the advantages of silicon anodes, creating the world's most energy dense cylindrical battery cell, and what these advances mean for electric vehicles, medical equipment, consumer electronics, and even soldier-worn battery applications.

As the storage and renewables market continues to expand, new manufacturing facilities are popping up across the world every day. But with new facilities come new problems that some operators aren't prepared to handle. Enter Andy Klump and his team at Clean Energy Associates (CEA). Tune in as podcast host and Troutman Pepper Partner Bill Derasmo and his guest CEA CEO and Founder Andy Klump discuss storage buyer risks and rewards, the potential for retroactive ruling on anti-dumping, and insider tips on how to track and identify the right suppliers to avoid being bamboozled by manufacturers.
