Electrovaya Is Scaling Production On Some Of The Safest, Longest-Lasting Lithium-Ion Batteries On The Market To Help Economies Meet Clean Energy Goals

Electrovaya Inc.

Batteries and other electricity storage technologies are key to making the transition away from fossil fuels possible. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), meeting the world’s climate and renewable energy goals will require approximately 10,000 gigawatt hours of energy storage technology, including batteries. To help the world meet that goal, Electrovaya Inc. (OTCQB: EFLVF) is developing a range of proprietary lithium-ion batteries that are low-cost, long-lasting and easy to scale to meet the energy needs of anything from an electric vehicle to an industrial energy storage system. Lithium-Ion Batteries – A Much-Needed Game Changer In Energy Storage Lithium-ion batteries have become a major catalyst in the energy transition. They make electric vehicles more efficient and cost-effective, provide better storage capacity for renewable energy on the grid and generally act as a safer, less environmentally hazardous option for powering consumer products of all kinds. Before these, the last great leap in battery innovation occurred over a century ago in 1859 when the lead-acid battery was invented providing the first rechargeable battery on the market. This is the type still found in most combustion engine cars today. While they can be recharged, lead-acid batteries are bulky, slow to charge and account for an estimated 44% to 70% of lead contamination in the environment. They also need to be replaced more often because the average lead-acid battery cycle life — the number of times it can be fully charged and then discharged before degrading — is between 300 and 550 cycles. On the other hand, lithium-ion batteries can last for thousands of cycles. Electrovaya’s patented infinity batteries, for example, boast one of the longest lifespans in the industry, with tests showing they can operate for over 25 years with one cycle per day. That’s a cycle life of over 9,000. Lithium-ion batteries are also more energy dense. Electrovaya’s infinity batteries generate around 200-watt hours per kilogram of battery weight compared to just 25 to 35 watt-hours per kilogram of a lead-acid battery. While safer than lead-acid batteries, lithium-ion batteries tend to overheat, which can lead to thermal runaway or combustion — as happened in 2014 when Boeing Co. ’s (NYSE: BA) 787 fleet was grounded after the planes’ batteries started catching fire. Electrovaya has addressed this by adding a proprietary ceramic separator to its infinity battery that provides better thermal protection to prevent fire propagation. As a result of this innovation, the company can offer a battery platform that’s safer, more efficient, and longer lasting than many other batteries on the market. While the initial cost of infinity batteries is a little higher, the substantial increase in battery life brings the total cost of ownership down 55%, according to the company’s estimates. Electrovaya Is Already Working On The Next Big Leap In Energy Storage Technology To advance the tech even further, many researchers are working on developing solid-state batteries — designs that rely on solid rather than liquid electrolytes to conduct electricity. Getting rid of liquid electrolytes means the battery wouldn’t have the same leakage or overheating risks that current designs have. It also makes even more energy-dense batteries possible, meaning they can be both lighter and more powerful. The solid-state tech being developed at NASA, for example, has yielded a battery that generates 500 watt-hours per kilogram and weighs up to 40% less than a liquid-based battery of the same capacity. Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Ltd. ’s (SHE: 300750) latest Kirin battery technology, as another example, is rated at 160 watt-hours per kilogram. Using a proprietary solid composite electrolyte, Electrovaya is working on solid-state battery technology of its own that uses lithium metal to create a more compact, energy-efficient design. In April, the company announced a major breakthrough: Coin-cell samples of the proprietary design reached 300 cycles with minimal degradation. Electrovaya says these results acted as a proof of concept that a scaled version of the solid-state battery could potentially meet the energy requirements of electric vehicles. The company is now in the process of establishing a manufacturing process with the goal of beginning preproduction on large-format cells by next year. Earlier this month, Electrovaya also announced plans to build its first U.S. gigafactory — a 137,000-square-foot plant with a current potential capacity of one gigawatt-hour per year — in New York next year. The new factory is expected to increase Electrovaya’s production capacity and improve supply chain security to keep production costs down. About Electrovaya Inc.Electrovaya Inc. (TSX:EFL) (OTCQB:EFLVF) is a pioneering leader in the global energy transformation, focused on contributing to the prevention of climate change by supplying safe and long-lasting lithium-ion batteries without compromising energy and power.

ReleaseHub Adds Enterprise Class Capabilities with Remote Development Environments, Datadog Integration, and Instant Data Sets

ReleaseHub

ReleaseHub, the leading provider of Environments-as-a-Service (EaaS), today announced enterprise class technologies for remote development environments, Datadog integration, and instant data management to improve developer confidence and increase release velocity. The company also announced it hired Matt Carter, former Docker Vice President of Marketing, as CMO. “This is the era of Environments as a Service, which is driving fundamental changes throughout the application development process,” said Tommy McClung, ReleaseHub CEO. “Our goal is to provide developers with the ability to write and commit code without penalty. With ReleaseHub, developers can spin up identical copies of environments as needed, within minutes.” One of the biggest bottlenecks in software delivery happens when developers are stuck waiting for access to environments. This results in significant delays in testing, debugging, and deploying software. EaaS mimics true production environments but are spun up and down on demand, so developers avoid development paralysis. EaaS signals a leap in release velocity and developer confidence. Similar to how containers let developers isolate software code, EaaS frees developers from fixed environments, letting them move quickly, at low cost, and without disrupting the workflow of their team. “We’re seeing greater EaaS uptake as developer teams recognize traditional environments are a major bottleneck,” said Matt Carter, ReleaseHub CMO. “I’ve worked at Microsoft, Chef, and Docker, and have seen many technology transitions over the years. As we add more enterprise-class features, we’re seeing similar growth now, with greater adoption among a wider range of organizations.” Additionally, ReleaseHub announced a number of new features that extend EaaS platform value to application development teams, including: Remote Development Environments ReleaseHub is improving release velocity with new technology that lets developers build code locally while running it remotely within a customer’s cloud account. Remote development environments increase release velocity by letting developers use their full stack, while receiving immediate feedback from production or production-like data in their development environment. Datadog Integration ReleaseHub is introducing native support for Datadog, enabling developers to work from the leading cloud monitoring platform. Datadog observability gives developers ReleaseHub insights from their Datadog accounts as well as single sign-on, role-based access control, and secrets management within ReleaseHub. These enterprise class features help organizations manage their DevOps pipelines at scale. Instant Data Sets ReleaseHub is accelerating the replication of application data with Instant Data Sets, which lets developers create a replica of application data in minutes. Developers can build and test against the actual data their app uses. About ReleaseHub: ReleaseHub delivers Environments-as-a-Service. It lets developers easily share progress with stakeholders when a full stack environment is created with every pull request and is shareable via custom URLs and directly in Slack. Every environment is a full instance of the app with all its services. ReleaseHub was funded by CRV, Sequoia, Y Combinator, Bow Capital, Artisanal Ventures, Hack VC, and other investors.

The Best Thing Since Sliced Bread: This Agtech Company Brings On Its New Product For Health-Conscious Millennials

AgriFORCE Growing Systems

Learn more about AgriFORCE from this latest report. In an age of widespread agricultural pollution and obesogenic foods, consumers are looking for sustainably farmed, healthy food options. The global organic agriculture market was worth $227.2 billion in 2021, with the U.S. claiming the most retail revenue for organic food. As concerns around climate change increase, consumers are also expecting agriculture to be more locally and sustainably sourced. And they are willing to pay for it, with 66% of consumers saying that despite inflation they would pay higher prices for sustainably produced food — a number that rises to 80% among millennials. AgriFORCE Growing Systems (NASDAQ: AGRI) is launching its un(Think) Awakened Flour to meet the demands of this market. Creating a New Standard for Sprouted Grains AgriFORCE is an agtech company that is bringing solutions to the table through controlled-environment agriculture. Despite market uncertainties, this Canada-based small-cap company has thrived and has continued its focus on intellectual property (IP) development and acquisition geared toward sustainable agriculture solutions. AgriFORCE plans to launch its new product, un(Think) Awakened Flour, soon – to be available in stores by late 2022. Using patent-pending processes, AgriFORCE controls the germination of its wheat in an environment where humidity and temperature are carefully managed. This activates the enzymes in the sprouted grains, which are then milled to become Awakened Flour, created to be both nutritious and tasty. There are multiple health benefits specifically associated with sprouted grains. Due to having been harvested during the germination process, they have a greater concentration of important fibres and vitamins than traditional grains while having less starch which makes them easier to digest. The refining process traditional grains undergo also strips the fully matured grains of much of their natural nutritional value. Beyond the increase in minerals like zinc, iron, magnesium, phosphorous and vitamin B, the greater amount of fibre present in Awakened Grains is seen as a major attraction. The recent attention consumers are giving to fibre comes from its role in better heart health, increased satiation and managed weight loss. Other companies looking for technological solutions in the controlled environment agriculture space include AeroFarms (NASDAQ: ARFM) and Hydrofarm Holdings Group Inc. (NASDAQ: HYFM). “un(Think)’s Awakened Flour was created to deliver what a sprouted grain can and should provide to consumers, bakeries and other food businesses,” Hernando Ruiz-Jimenez, un(Think) Food Co.’s general manager, said about the launch of the product. “Our highly precise sprouting process is designed to increase the bioavailability of vitamins and minerals, allowing them to be absorbed by the body while changing the total amount of fibre in whole grains and helping to improve digestion and gut health. The launch of Awakened Flour, and what comes next, marks an exciting time for AgriFORCE, the market, customers and consumers.” As an IP-focused agtech company with a mission to transform farming, AgriFORCE believes that innovation and creativity, like that seen in un(Think)’s Awakened products, are the driving forces behind the sustainable agriculture of the future. Learn more about AgriFORCE by visiting its website. AgriFORCE Growing Systems Ltd. (NASDAQ: AGRI; AGRIW) is an agtech company focused on building an integrated agtech platform that combines the best technology, intellectual property and knowledge to solve an urgent problem – providing the best solutions to help drive sustainable crops and nutritious food for people around the world. Looking to serve the global market, the Company’s current focus is on North America, Europe and Asia. The AgriFORCE vision is to be a leader in delivering plant-based foods and products through an advanced and sustainable agtech platform that makes positive change in the world—from seed to table.

Through Tribevest’s collaborative dashboard, investor tribes can access their records, pool capital, and transact as a single entity. Based in Columbus, Ohio, Tribevest started in 2018 after its founder struggled with the process, roadblocks, and fees required to invest as a group with his brothers. “For founders, pulling off a Community Round is one of the strongest indicators that you’ve built something successful,” said Jonny Price, VP of Fundraising at Wefunder. “It’s the highest validation from the market.” To date, over 15,000 Tribevestors have started their group investing journey through the platform and have deployed over $36 million in capital. Average monthly deposits through Tribevest exceed $3 million and the company is on pace to 5x their revenue in 2022. More than half of the tribes invest in more than one asset class. Real estate investments lead the way, with 53% of tribes investing in multi-family properties, 32% investing in single family rentals including vacation homes, and another 32% in syndications. Tribes invest in small business ventures 45% of the time, while 24% invest in stocks, 22% invest in cryptocurrency, and 7% invest in collectibles.
