Li-S Energy

With climate change driving the move to renewable energy and electric vehicles the demand for batteries is forecast to increase 10x by 2030. To drive this growth, there needs to be a better battery and Li-S Energy is pioneering that change. Our new lithium sulfur and lithium metal technology will power the world’s future by delivering lighter batteries with more than twice the energy density and — with no heavy metals — offer a cleaner and greener alternative. Our unique technology is ideal for low-weight applications such as aviation, defence and heavy EVs and is set to revolutionise the industry.
