International Battery Day - Powered By Greif-Velox
Every year on February 18th, the International Battery Day is celebrated worldwide. On this occasion, we draw attention to an ultralight yet challenging-to-handle powder that ensures the conductivity of modern batteries: Carbon Black or Industrial Carbon. To efficiently supply this powder, Greif-Velox offers a unique solution.
In 1800, Italian physicist Alessandro Volta introduced the first functional galvanic element in the form of the so-called Voltaic Pile, which is now considered a precursor to the modern battery. In honor of Volta, his birthday, February 18th, was designated as the International Battery Day.
Rising Demand for Lithium-Ion Batteries
From electric vehicles to renewable energy storage solutions and portable electronic devices, today’s lithium-ion battery technology has become indispensable in many areas, more than 200 years later. The number of lithium-ion batteries used in most electric cars in Germany alone has more than doubled since 2017. By 2030, global demand for rechargeable batteries is projected to reach 1,745 gigawatt-hours
