OneD Battery Sciences (hereafter referred to as OneD), a Silicon Valley-based company specializing in electric vehicle battery technology, has officially been recognized for its innovative technology in the decarbonization competition for electric vehicle batteries.
OneD announced that its ‘SINANODE®’ silicon anode technology, applied to graphite anode materials for electric vehicle batteries, has been validated by a lifecycle assessment (LCA) conducted by the global energy transition consulting firm Minviro, which showed it can reduce the carbon emissions of battery packs by 35%.
Minviro conducted an independent environmental assessment that complies with ISO-14040 and ISO-14044 standards, confirming that when SINANODE® is applied in North America and Europe, it can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and resource consumption compared to existing anode materials. Specifically, for electric vehicle-grade natural graphite using SINANODE® technology, the carbon footprint (kg CO₂-eq per kAh) of the anode material was reduced by over 90%.
Vincent Pluvinage, CEO of OneD, stated, “Minviro’s independent lifecycle assessment has verified the environmental benefits of SINANODE®.” He added, “This result provides scientifically credible evaluation data for customers and investors seeking sustainable battery technology.”
Robert Pell, CEO of Minviro, emphasized, “A data-driven approach to reducing the environmental footprint within the battery industry is essential,” and pointed out, “SINANODE® technology will be a crucial element in accelerating decarbonization efforts within the battery supply chain.”
Based on this evaluation, OneD plans to expedite the commercialization of SINANODE® technology by collaborating with key companies in the electric vehicle battery supply chain. Additionally, it aims to accelerate market adoption while minimizing risks through licensing agreements with existing battery manufacturers for large-scale production.
This evaluation result indicates that OneD’s technology is likely to play a significant role in the global electric vehicle market as the low-carbon transition in the electric vehicle battery industry becomes more active.
