Solid State Batteries12 Feb 2021 14:23
All the articles i have read so far on the development of solid state batteries report that they use lithium and the higher the grade the better.
Lithium is abundant but not in high levels of purity and not always economical and environmentally friendly to mine.
Solid state batteries are good news if they work as they increase EV mileage and are quicker to recharge.
All this is good news for IRR who have in Ghana a huge resource of high grade lithium and the ability to mine it economically and environmentally.
Here is a quote from one of the articles - 'The goal is to support the development of a mass-production infrastructure within Japan. Because solid-state batteries use lithium, an element with limited global reserves, the government will assist in procuring the material.'
