Collab between StoreDot & Circular to track the provenance and CO2 emissions of the raw materials used in its battery cells.
In parallel to driving greater electric vehicle demand through longer range and shorter charge times, StoreDot is also concentrating its efforts on sustainable products, working with Circulor on creating transparent battery supply chains to provide full traceability for global automotive manufacturers, as mentioned in the report.
StoreDot and Circulor are already working together, and the two companies are using Circulor's traceability solution to track the production of battery materials and the carbon emissions that come with them.
According to the report, this information will give StoreDot transparency and will enable the company to make such information available to EV OEM customers and regulators who are requiring information regarding environmental, social, and governance (ESG) efforts.
StoreDot has also joined the "Battery Pass" project of the German government as an associate member. Circulor, which is a founding consortium member and leads the technology workstream, is also a part of this project.
The two companies will keep working on the project to improve how businesses work together and get ready for the EU Battery Regulation to go into effect.
StoreDot CEO Dr. Doron Myersdorf said, "The environmental, social, and governance aspects of our XFC solution are a core value to StoreDot and its employees."
"We are therefore pleased to be entering this partnership with Circulor, which has consistently demonstrated its world-leading supply chain traceability capabilities."
"It is critical that StoreDot provide full transparency of CO2 emissions, as well as the materials and components of our extreme fast charging "100 in 5" battery cells, to its automotive OEM customers and investors."
Dr. Doron Myersdorf believes that this will increase their EV partners' trust in StoreDot as they move closer to mass production of batteries.
Circulor CEO Douglas Johnson-Poensgen said, "StoreDot is a pioneer in next-generation battery solutions, specifically focused on overcoming potential barriers to EV adoption and ensuring that our move to electrified economies is done right."
"We're excited to work with the StoreDot team to create transparency in the EV supply chain and show how important it is to building a responsible and sustainable future."
