Sodium-Ion Battery Technology: James Quinn

The Energy Talk - Storytellers of Africa's Energy Transition

Lithium-ion batteries are used in tech gadgets and electric vehicles, but the high cost of lithium extraction and ambiguous mining practices for several key components has led the industry to look for alternative technologies for energy storage.

James Quinn is the CEO of Faradion and guides us this week through a conversation about energy storage. Faradion is the world leader in non-aqueous sodium-ion cell technology that provides cheaper, cleaner energy for key applications, such as transportation, storage, back-up power, and energy in remote locations.
