GROUP14 TECHNOLOGY

During the September visit, Washington State Governor Inslee & Representative Duerr met with Group14 and toured the BAM (Battery Active Materials) Factory to talk about how rapid electrification will accelerate the growing clean energy economy statewide and globally.

On the September 10 episode of Automotive News' Daily Drive podcast, CEO Rick Luebbe discusses Group14's role in the push to replace graphite used in lithium ion EV batteries with silicon anodes, and how Group14's Li-silicon aims to power the electrification of everything.

The companies announced a partnership to custom manufacture high energy density batteries for automotive applications. Auto OEMs are turning to drop-in-ready technologies such as high capacity silicon anode materials to deliver on zero-emission electric vehicles.

On episode 121 of Reby Media's "Engineering Matters" podcast,  CTO Rick Costantino shares how Group14’s innovative drop-in lithium-silicon anode technology creates a better and more sustainable energy storage solutions to accelerate the electrification of everything.

The new joint venture positions Group14 to meet global customer demand with a major battery hub in South Korea. This is the latest development for Group14 to secure dual sourcing for its patented lithium-silicon technology, mitigating global supply chain disruptions.

Washington State Governor Jay Inslee met with Group14 at the site of our pilot-scale facility and lab located in the REC Silicon factory in Moses Lake, WA. During his visit, CEO Rick Luebbe, provided Governor Inslee and his team with a detailed overview of our patented and commercially manufactured lithium-silicon battery anode, SCC55™, that will enable the next-generation of battery technologies today.

The new commercial-scale 27,000-square foot U.S. manufacturing factory to meet demand for higher-performing lithium-silicon anode materials. The new factory, located at Group14 HQ in Woodinville, Washington, also will house a new world-class R&D center, corporate offices, and serves as the first of several planned commercial manufacturing sites that will solidify the company as a global leader in advanced energy storage technologies.

Between our devices and electric vehicles, we are acutely aware that the batteries behind the scenes determine the capacity and capabilities of our technology. On episode 263 of Mission.org’s IT Visionaries podcast, CTO Rick Costantino shares how Group14’s innovative drop-in lithium-silicon anode technology creates a better and more sustainable energy storage solution to accelerate the electrification of everything.

“Imagine you go to buy your Toyota Camry or your Chevy Malibu and you have an option of an all-electric version with a 300-mile range or an internal combustion version with about a 300-mile range — and they are both exactly the same cost,” Listen to the episode here.

New Yokohama and Seoul headquarters position the company to meet customer demand for high-performing battery materials from major Asian markets. With the vast array of major consumer electronics and electric mobility players in APAC, the international expansion positions Group14 as a key global supplier to meet increasing customer demand for high-performing lithium-silicon battery materials.

Led by South Korea's SK materials, the investment highlight the demand for highly performant battery materials. Group14 will use this investment to scale production of its flagship product SCC55™, which affords up to 50% more energy density than conventional graphite.

The Washington factory marks the rise of the PNW as a battery supply chain hub. The large facility, slated to be carbon neutral & powered by clean energy, will be the largest silicon-carbon anode material plant globally, enabling the lithium-silicon battery era, globally.

Battery materials breakthrough, Scaffold Prime™, enables 30-50% density increase with silicon-carbon, tunable batteries, for the electrification of everything. Group14's leading $5M project will help achieve a revolution in lithium-ion battery performance.

Announcing $18 million in new financing from Amperex Technologies Limited, Showa Denko, Cabot Corporation, BASF Venture Capital, and OVP Venture Partners, the new funds will be used to scale up manufacturing of a next generation anode material and advance into commercial production. The participation of these industry leaders together is strong validation of Group14's performance, scalability, and strong intellectual property position, not to mention the enormous market opportunity.

Independent spin-off company will commercialize cost-effective advanced silicon-carbon composite anode materials for lithium-ion batteries. Group14 will manufacture silicon-carbon anode materials with increased energy capacity compared to currently available materials while maintaining the low cost and high cycle life of graphite. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is supporting the project with a $2.8 million grant.
