    Episode 56 | Maximising Uptime and Charging Speeds with Niobium | Anna Wise | Nyobolt

    As the world moves toward electric vehicles, renewable energy systems, and portable electronics, the demand for faster, safer, and longer-lasting batteries continues to grow. While materials like lithium, cobalt, and graphite often dominate the conversation, researchers and engineers are turning their attention to niobium—a versatile metal with unique properties that may help overcome some of the biggest challenges in battery technology. In this episode, we'll examine what niobium is, why it has attracted interest from scientists and battery manufacturers, and how it can improve charging speed, battery lifespan, and overall performance. We'll also discuss current developments, real-world applications, and the challenges that must be addressed before niobium-based battery technologies become widely adopted.   Speaker Notes: Anna Wise | Head of Strategy | Nyobolt https://www.linkedin.com/in/annamwise/   Host Ken Davies | Managing Director | GSE Media Ltd https://www.linkedin.com/in/kendavies/ ken.davies@gsemedialtd.com   Nyobolt http://www.nyobolt.com      Battery & Energy Storage Tech Europe | FIRA de Barcelona | September 2026 https://batterytechexpoeurope.com/ For more details, please contact: ken.davies@gsemedialtd.com   EU Battery Passport Conference | Grand Palais, Lille, France | Budapest  https://www.eubatterypassportconference.com/ For more details, please contact: ken.davies@gsemedialtd.com   Advertising and Sponsorship For companies looking to reach a global audience of battery professionals, the Battery Technology Podcast is the perfect place to promote your products and services in a thought-provoking way.

    Episode 53 | EU Battery Passport | Compliance, Technology and Opportunity

    The 17th February 2027 is a very important date for any organisation involved in the business of batteries. It marks the date set for the introduction of the EU Battery Passport. A mandatory digital record, accessed through a QR code, of the key technical data across every stage of an individual batteries’ life for any battery above 2kWh capacity. But the EU Battery Passport is more than just a compliance tool. It's a game changer for the future of batteries in Europe. Acting like a “digital identity card,” it will track key information such as where a battery’s materials come from, how it was manufactured, its carbon footprint, and how it can be reused or recycled. For businesses, it creates opportunities for innovation, competitiveness, and more efficient supply chains. In this episode I'm delighted to be joined by Dr. Susanne Guth-Orlowski , Digital Product Passport Pioneer, CEO of 4TheRecord Consultancy and Battery passport expert to discuss the Battery Passport in detail and how companies can ensure readiness, overcome the challenges and make the most of the opportunities that such a change brings with it.   Speaker Notes: Dr. Susanne Guth-Orlowski , Digital Product Passport Pioneer, CEO of 4TheRecord Consultancy. https://www.4therecord.io/training https://www.linkedin.com/in/sguth/ Host Ken Davies | Managing Director | GSE Media Ltd https://www.linkedin.com/in/kendavies/ ken.davies@gsemedialtd.com   Useful Links Conference The EU Battery Passport Conference | Wednesday 4th February 2026 | Grand Palais, Lille, France is the first dedicated conference aimed at readiness and technology in preparation for the introduction of the EU Battery Passport in February 2027 https://www.eubatterypassportconference.com/   https://www.4therecord.io/training https://environment.ec.europa.eu/topics/waste-and-recycling/batteries_en https://cirpassproject.eu/   https://thebatterypass.eu/ https://single-market-economy.ec.europa.eu/single-market/strategy_en https://unece.org/trade/documents/2025/07/session-documents/revised-recommendation-no-49-transparency-scale-fostering https://www.youtube.com/@4TheRecordGmbH       Global Battery Alliance Pilots & Benchmarks: https://www.globalbattery.org/battery-passport/ https://www.globalbattery.org/media/publications/gba-batterybenchmarks-final-web-resolution-duplicate.pdf   United Nations Transparency Protocol: Helping to standardise and facilitate the trustworthy upstream data exchange. https://spec-untp-fbb45f.opensource.unicc.org/   The GBA Transparency Protocol Extension on UNTP https://spec-untp-fbb45f.opensource.unicc.org/docs/extensions/ExtensionsRegister#global-battery-alliance-transparency-protocol    SAE J3327 Electric Vehicle EV Battery Traceabiltiy Record https://www.sae.org/standards/j3327-electric-vehicle-ev-battery-traceability-record/    Sponsorship   The Battery Technology Podcast is sponsored by Battery Tech Europe | FIRA de Barcelona | September 2026 | Showcasing European based innovation in battery technology.   European innovation in battery sector aims to create a globally competitive battery industry by research and development into advanced battery chemistries, world-class manufacturing capabilities, downstream battery management systems and development of recycling technology.
