Issue 38, July 15Th – August 15Th CONTENT Introduction Issue 38, July 15th – August 15th CONTENT Introduction 1We have released the fourth issue of the signumBOX Analysis report “Lithium, Batteries and Vehicles: Perspectives and Trends” . Some of the conclusions of the report: Batteries • Lithium demand is estimated at 119,000 MT expressed as lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE) in 2011 and Vehicles • The estimated growth for this year will be driven by the use of lithium Wanxiang and Ener1 received in batteries for electronic devices and for hybrid and electric cars including two wheel electric cars. approval for Joint Venture • By 2025 around 16 million of hybrid/electric cars would be on the BYD signed agreement with roads. These would represent an additional lithium demand of 181,000 Shenzhen Public Bus MT LCE by that year. We calculated the use of lithium according to each battery specification per type of car/automaker. SAFT Batteries results for H1 2011 • Considering known lithium reserves and resources we have calculated the lifetime for lithium resources. Nevertheless, the estimation does A123 Systems will supply lithium not consider several deposits which are currently not attractive in an batteries to General Motors economic perspective, but might be in the future. Additionally, does not consider future lithium recycling for used batteries. China BAK Battery: Sales of high power battery cells triple in Q2 • For the first time we present a deep analysis of lithium exports from major lithium producer countries. Lithium Carbonate, Hydroxide and Chloride exports from Chile, Argentina, Australia and China are presented in volumes with their FOB prices as well. • An update of the ranking of the lithium projects is presented. Galaxy Resources has ben included for the first time as part of the lithium supply since it has already sent spodumene product to China. After Galaxy, Canada Lithium and Nemaska Explorations are the projects with the highest ranking. • The top three lithium projects based on Salar brines are Orocobre with its Olaroz lithium project, Lithium Americas with its Cauchari-Olaroz Lithium Industry lithium project and Lithium One with its Sal de Vida lithium project. All of these projects are located in Argentina, the first two are located in Critical Elements updates resource Jujuy province while the Sal de Vida lithium project is in Catamarca, estimate at its Rose pegmatite close to FMC´s operations at the Salar de Hombre Muerto. project • We have also included potential lithium projects in Chile, which might Orocobre released quarterly report be part of the lithium supply if the Chilean government removes the ban that does not allow extracting lithium in other salars besides FMC announced price increase Salar de Atacama and Salar de Pedernales (currently owned by of organolithium products and Codelco). reported financial reports If you are insterested in buy/subscribe to this report, I invite you to visit www.signumbox.com/subscribe/ or send an email to sales@ Chemetall announced price signumbox.com increase of organolithium products and reported financial results Galaxy Resources reported higher spodumene production in July LITHIUM, BATTERIES AND VEHICLES Batteries and Vehicles2 BRIEF NEWS HIGHLIGHTS Valence Technology Lithium Phosphate batteries passed Wanxiang and Ener1 received approval for Joint first phase of Ford Testing Program Venture Date: July, 18th Date: July, 20th Source: Yahoo Finance/BAK Source: Valence Technologies Valence Technology announced The Chinese government approved – an already signed – the joint that its lithium phosphate batteries venture between Wanxiang Electric vehicle, a Chinese’s automotive earned favorable first phase components manufacturer, and Ener1 an American company that reviews during a large electric develops lithium batteries.

  • Review of ELV Exemption 5 from the View of Lithium-Ion Battery Makers and Experts
    A123 Systems LLC, Fraunhofer ICT, LG Chem Ltd., and Samsung SDI Co. Ltd. Review of ELV Exemption 5 From the view of lithium-ion battery makers and experts 2014-December-17 Question 1: Please explain whether the use of lead in the application addressed under Exemption 5 of the ELV Directive is still unavoidable so that Art. 4(2)(b)(ii) of the ELV Directive would justify the continuation of the exemption. Please clarify what types of vehicles your answer refers to, i.e., conventional vehicles and various types of hybrid and electric vehicles and which functionalities are covered (starting, ignition, lighting and other points of consumption). The use of lead in batteries is potentially avoidable and definitely reducible in most conventional passenger vehicles by the adoption of emerging energy storage technologies. 12V lithium-ion batteries are in fact already in series production for automotive OEMs in Europe and across the world and are projected to increase in volume over the next decade mostly due to regulatory drivers related to vehicle emissions reduction. The European Commission has set emissions targets [European Commission, http://ec.europa.eu/environment/air/transport/road.htm , as of 28 Oct 2014] for which major fuel saving technologies are required. Hybrid and electric vehicles have received the most attention for yielding aggressive improvement in emissions. However consumer adoption rates of these vehicle types have been slow and therefore automakers have been forced to identify other fuel saving technologies that have less impact on the consumer and are more economically viable across the vehicle portfolio. A new, smaller form of vehicle electrification called the micro-hybrid is expected to fill this gap.

  • 15.905 – Technology Strategy: Final Paper Strategic Analysis And
    15.905 – Technology Strategy: Final Paper Strategic Analysis and Recommendations Team 12 – Jorge Amador, John Kluza, Yulia Surya May 13th, 2008 Background A123Systems is a Lithium-Ion battery producer known for its nanophospate technology licensed from MIT. Within the seven years since it’s founded, the company has received global recognition for its superior battery characteristics compared to the widely-used Li-Ion Cobalt Cathode technology. It is also known as one of the companies who is revolutionizing the integration of Li-Ion into automotive applications. The company has secured more than $100M in venture capital and multiple mega deals with large clients, ranging from automotive to aviation. However, given the dynamic nature of this relatively new technology, especially in automotive niche, sustaining the success of such a company requires thorough analysis, well-defined strategy and excellent execution. This paper will provide a set of recommendations for A123Systems’ short-term and long-term strategies, using the company’s current business and its presence in the overall domain and industry as building blocks. Company & Industry Profile Domain A123Systems is a relatively new player in the rechargeable power source domain, particularly in the lithium-based batteries industry. In this domain, Lithium-Ion has been mostly known for its applications in consumer electronics. However, technological breakthroughs in this domain are shifting this trend. Lithium-Polymer is slowly taking over the consumer electronics space, while Li-Ion starts to gain momentum in the automotive and other high-powered applications. A123Systems is one of the companies that introduced revolutionary technologies which allow wider applicability of lithium-ion.

The company, winner of the ACerS 2009 Corporate Technical Achievement Award, manufactures powerful lithium batteries based on a proprietary nanophosphate technology. Although A123 has been in existence only eight years, its products already have made inroads in the power tools, transportation and energy grid sectors. Its batteries can range in size from small packs for rechargeable drills to trunk-sized kits for hybrid automobiles to tractor- trailer-scale systems for electrical utilities. Although privately owned since it was cofounded in 2001 by ACerS Fellow Yet-Ming Chiang along with Bart Riley and Ric Fulop, A123 made business headlines just weeks ago when shares of the company were first offered for sale in the stock markets and A123 Systems cofounders, from left, Yet-Ming Chiang, Bart in an eagerly anticipated initial public offerings.
