What’s it all about?Batteries, glorious batteries. With the exponential growth of battery demand for both electric vehicles, and grid storage, we’re already seeing resource challenges as mining and supply of materials tries to ramp up with this demand.  Given batteries are lasting in EV’s far longer than many expected, I thought large scale recycling of batteries was some time away, but it isn’t for an interesting reason, and it’s not to do with end of life batteries. Take a listen to what, and enjoy the episode.About Mike O’Kronley: Michael O’Kronley was named CEO of Ascend Elements in March 2020 and has served on the company's board since 2017. Before Ascend Elements, he was Head of Corporate Strategy at A123 Systems. He has worked in the automotive and EV battery industries for over 25 years with previous business development, operations and engineering roles at Metaldyne Corp. and Robert Bosch. He holds bachelor's and master's degrees in Engineering from the University of Michigan.About Ascend Elements:Based in Westborough, Mass., Ascend Elements is revolutionising the production of lithium-ion battery materials by establishing a clean and sustainable supply chain using recycled feedstock. Its patented Hydro-to-Cathode™ technology directly synthesises new cathode active materials from spent lithium-ion cells more efficiently than traditional methods, resulting in reduced cost, improved performance, and lowered GHG emissions. With fewer batteries going to landfill and a cleaner manufacturing process, Ascend Elements is taking the lithium-ion battery industry to a higher level with a truly sustainable, closed-loop battery economy.Social links: Mike O’Kronley on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mike-o-kronley-32173715/ Ascend Elements website: https://ascendelements.com/ Ascend Elements on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AscendElements Ascend Elements on Linked In: https://www.linkedin.com/company/battery-resourcers/ About Hyperion Cleantech Group:Hyperion Cleantech Group is the holding company for businesses focused exclusively in cleantech talent acquisition, retention, leadership development. working with some of the most innovative cleantech companies in the world, helping to find extraordinary talent to enable their growth and success.

What’s it all about?Hot on the heels of their recent announcement of a £110m fundraise, I catch up with Be.EV CEO and Co-Founder Asif Ghafoor. We talk all things emobility, disruptive markets, fundraising, company culture, entrepreneur insanity and community-based EV charging hubs, and much more. About Asif Ghafoor: After 25 years working in UK infrastructure investment, Asif co-founded Be.EV to change the way public EV charging infrastructure is delivered: faster, fairer, rooted in local communities and nice to look at.

It has just won the backing of Octopus Energy Generation, who are investing up to £110m to dramatically scale the network and take it national. It’s Octopus’ first investment in EV charging - and comes with a target of delivering 1,000 new charge points by 2024.About Be.EV.:Be.EV is the largest EV charging network across Greater Manchester, and is expanding at a rapid pace across the north of England in order to make charging simple, reliable, and effortless.

What’s it all about?I love this stuff!! Smart grids for the home, community and beyond. I also love when entrepreneurs from a fossil fuel, or ‘dirty’ world see the light and create great cleantech businesses. Never has energy been a bigger topic in the average household. The silver lining in the present energy and inflation crisis is that cleantech solutions make even more financial sense, as well as reducing carbon emissions. I talk to Alex about his business, his technology and the future of the Grid.About Alex Bazhinov: An inventor and entrepreneur, Alex is driven by the vision of the energy grid that encompasses the many distributed energy resources. He had the idea for Lumin while tending to his first start up, DreamPower, which he founded at the University of Virginia’s iLab while earning his graduate degree at UVA’s Darden School of Business. Alex hails from Moscow, Russia, where he held senior finance positions in global firms–spending six years at Norilsk Nickel, the world’s largest nickel and palladium producer, and as CFO at the global manufacturing conglomerate, Sandvik.Alex’s passion for a business challenge is aligned with his concern for the planet, having witnessed first-hand the negative impact of fossil fuel production around the world. When not chasing patents, Alex is busy at home with three young children and looks forward to his next sailing trip with his wife and first mates in training.About Lumin:Lumin® is the pioneer and market leader for responsive load management, adding exceptional value to residential microgrids by balancing home energy supply and demand.
