Recognizing the threat of rising temperature brought by climate change and what, as a developed country, the UK’s fair contribution to the global effort should be, the UK Government has set a legally binding target of 80 percent CO2 reduction by 2050 compared to 1990. The Committee on Climate Change (CCC) is an independent body that advises the UK Government on setting and meeting carbon reduction targets and on preparing for the impacts of climate change.

Glenn Denomme, Vice President of Engineering, A123 Systems, Inc.

The success of the passenger electric vehicle industry relies heavily on reducing cost. Wide-spread consumer adoption of battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) is only a possibility when these cars offer both a competitive initial cost and lower total cost of ownership over the life of the vehicle. To sustain long-term cost-competitiveness, automakers and suppliers must focus on reducing manufacturing costs, starting with the lithium ion battery systems that power these vehicles.

Richard Brody, Vice President of Business Development & Strategic Marketing, PowerGenix

When Thomas Edison patented the first Nickel-Zinc (NiZn) battery in 1901, the electrical grid was still in its infancy. Now, 110 years and 32 patents later, NiZn is a mature technology ready to serve critical functions within a rapidly developing smart grid. This diversity of applications can be divided roughly according to the side of the meter on which they fall: the utility side or power consumer side.
