Benchmark Mineral Intelligence Launches New Technology Service to Track Emerging Battery Innovations
As the global energy landscape undergoes rapid transformation, Benchmark Mineral Intelligence (BMI) has introduced a comprehensive New Technology Service designed to monitor and analyze the next generation of battery technologies. This initiative aims to help stakeholders across the battery supply chain navigate a dynamic market environment shaped by innovation and evolving commercial opportunities.
Tracking Market Indices Amid Shifting Battery Raw Material Prices
Recent BMI price indices highlight fluctuations in critical battery materials: the Lithium Carbonate Index rose by 2.51% to 160.2, and the Cobalt Index increased 3.05% to 133, while the Lithium Hydroxide Index declined by 3.02% to 127.31. Meanwhile, the Lithium Ion Batteries Index experienced a notable gain of 4.53%, underscoring continued market interest in battery production despite some downward movements in nickel and cathode prices.
These indices reflect the complex interplay of supply-demand dynamics driven by advancements in battery chemistries and raw material sourcing, underpinning the need for detailed market intelligence on emerging technologies.
What the New Technology Service Offers
BMI’s New Technology Service delivers a multi-faceted approach to tracking and forecasting innovation in battery development:
-
Quarterly Comprehensive Database: Offers an extensive inventory of emerging battery technology innovators, including detailed profiles on companies and facility expansions. The database covers solid-state batteries, lithium metal, lithium-sulfur, sodium-ion, metal-air, redox flow, and other cutting-edge chemistries, with technology readiness levels assessed.
-
Bi-Annual Interactive Cost Calculator: Enables users to analyze cost drivers for next-generation battery cells by modeling transparent capital expenditure (CapEx) and operational expenditure (OpEx) assumptions. This tool facilitates evaluation of how innovations such as silicon anodes, solid electrolytes, and sodium-ion cathodes could impact cell manufacturing costs.
-
Quarterly Data-Driven Reports: Provide insights spanning the entire battery supply and value chain. Reports detail innovations in raw material processing, next-generation anode and cathode technologies, and advances in cell, pack, and inactive material design.
