Vincent Yang, the Founder and Chairman of ProLogium Technology, was invited to the 2024 @WMaterialsForum in Paris, France, on July 11th. At the seminar, Vincent personally presented the benefits of ProLogium’s new battery architecture and discussed its implications for the electric vehicle industry.
​
ProLogium's next-generation batteries, based on this new architecture, feature high energy density, high-performance fast charging, and enhanced safety in modular designs rather than the traditional CTP (Cell to Pack) designs. With higher energy density, ProLogium's next-generation batteries enable more compact and lighter battery packs, improving Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) performance and reducing carbon taxes. The decrease in total volume and weight also lowers initial purchasing costs for consumers while improving overall driving efficiency (distance per kilowatt hour). Thanks to modular designs, battery cells can be easily recycled and reused, alleviating concerns about the residual value of second-hand cars. ProLogium's next-generation batteries also support ultra-fast charging from 5% to 80% State of Charge (SOC) in just 8.5 minutes, providing a driving range of approximately 300 to 400 kilometers. This ultra-fast charging enhances the turnover rate at charging stations, encouraging operators to expand charging infrastructure, thereby driving industry growth.
​
"Through new technologies and batteries,” Vincent remarked, “we aim to leverage global resources to expand the battery market, establish a new industry chain, and set new standards in collaboration with our partners."

@Arkema_group Mathias Miedrich stated that when funding new technologies, it is vital to ensure these technologies can be built using existing facilities to avoid building new giga-factories.

According to Mathias Miedreich (former @UmicoreGroup CEO), the biggest risk about financing innovative industrial projects is the feasibility of scaling-up. For example: production scrap in battery manufacturing increases across all aspects of the supply chain with scale up.

[WorldMaterials Forum @WMaterialsForum]

@ProLogium TechMet CEO Brian Menell explains how increasing critical #ev battery recycling capabilities will drive the #energy transition.

[WorldMaterials Forum @WMaterialsForum]

Materials driven by the energy transition, including aluminium, copper, and gold, are predicted to become the most valued materials by 2050, overtaking construction materials such as gravel and sand.

[WorldMaterials Forum @WMaterialsForum]

The opening session on the criticality of minerals is underway with presentations from @BRGM_fr @McKinsey @CRUGROUP and Arthur D Little.

[International Chamber of Commerce @iccwbo]

💬 "The urgency of action on climate, water scarcity and biodiversity is growing." Philippe Varin, ICC First Vice Chair, also highlights the importance of effective use of critical metals and materials at the @WMaterialsForum.

Our home is burning, and the choices we make today will be crucial for our kids, our planet and our businesses. It was great to be back in Nancy, France for the @WMaterialsForum to talk about what @SolvayGroup is doing to tackle scope 3 (value chain) emissions.
