Natron is not publicly traded. Their investors are multibillion dollar corporations that have structured investment deals crafted by lawyers, that will give them part ownership in the company. Until Natron has an IPO, there’s no “safe” way for individuals to invest. Small money goes in, small money goes “poof”.

Considering it’s only just possible to make a lithium ion battery truck - it’s not going to be possible to make a sodium ion truck battery. Sodium batteries have approx half the capacity of lithium. So that means a car currently equipped with a lithium battery, will get about half its current range.

February 2024, Lithium fell to just over $13,000 per ton, June 2023, Sodium Carbonate cost around $290 per metric ton on the Shanghai Metals Market. Sodium is 1000 times more abundant than Lithium. Lithium is more than 44x more expensive than Sodium. I believe the key parts of the equation is that Sodium is more price stable and cheaper.

@sullivanrachael 23 дня назад

The problem - or one of them - is sodium is more energy intensive to produce than lithium. So the raw material might be more abundant but it will cost significantly more to process than lithium. The other problem is the Sodium batteries have half the energy density. Or you need twice as many to do the same job as lithium. That’s like saying your EV will need a ton of battery rather than 500kg of battery. That means the efficiency of the vehicle is a lot less, effectively accelerating and decelerating 500kg of dead weight all the time. Not good

@dandantheideasman 24 дня назад

With so many applications looking for cheaper alternatives to Lithium that have no concern of weight, volume and capacity, it most certainly will. And, if you have an eye on the Far East, already is.

@trueriver1950 24 дня назад

Sodium batteries have one disadvantage compared with Lithium. This follows from two facts -- that (a) a single Lithium ion stores more energy that a single Sodium ion, and (b) it also weighs less That means for auto and aero power Lithium will always beat sodium. Sodium, if cheaper, is viable for static storage (everything from a home power wall to grid stabilisers), and might be viable for ships and railways (to get electric trains past gaps in the power lines).

@dandantheideasman 24 дня назад

Also the volume is greater with sodium than lithium - though, they still will have a place in automotive - as not everyone drives a straight 6, V8 or more 🤔

Natron Energy optimized for super fast, high cycles and target critical applications like data centers. However, from what I could see in their datasheet energy density is very low. I'm concerned that they are not going to be cheap, in comparison to HiNa or CATL, that aim for an LFP comparable energy density from the start, but maybe I'm wrong and all their materials that they use in higher quantity really are that much cheaper.

Please give some analysis. This sounds more like a corporate marketing piece than a thoughtful evaluation of sodium-ion batteries. If there are no drawbacks at all, and Natron is the only or biggest player in America, the company would already be worth more than Tesla. Perhaps include a chart or some research on how sodium ion batteries are overcoming their inherent energy density, volume and weight disadvantages vs. lithium ion, or how they compare to lithium iron phosphate batteries?

@jchristensen07 23 дня назад

Yes, three very important points...1. Sodium is 3X heavier at the atomic scale 2. Lithium is still far more power dense 3. The price of lithium has cratered so the cost savings is nowhere near what it used to be. Sodium may have a very bright future in stationary storage but it's a HUGE stretch to think it can replace lithium in cars, and aviation.

The cost of raw lithium may not go down much but the cost of refining will but sodium has a lot of potential.

Game changer, Could, Future, Cheaper. All buzz words for news feeds. I say so what? When someone reports a new (and cheaper) car or a new (and cheaper) household battery to attach to solar systems, "IS NOW AVAILABLE" then I will celebrate.

US talks big but until it is in production, it is just hot air. All the money spent on chip act. Yet not a single chip has been produced in Arizona. And B3w has disappeared.

Intel and TSMC in Arizona? Takes years to build new FABS? Know anything about the semi- conductor industry?

@@larryc1616 Just mean more bullshit. In 2020, they claimed they can have the first plant in operation in 2024. Then it was delayed to 2025. Recently I think it has moved the delay 2027/2028. That is at least 8 years. And you don't have several years. US is not as far ahead as they think. US don't have talents and supply chain either. They even brought all the Taiwanese engineers over to US.

@@larryc1616 They had insane DEI requirements so TSMC is just gonna build in Japan instead.

From what I read the USA has the largest deposit of Soda Ash. So it would make sense for the USA to make Sodium Ion Batteries It's not going to happen in the USA Since it's basically America and the American people attitude towards clean, green, renewable etc etc etc When it comes to semiconductors It's not the most advanced chips that keep these companies going, it is the Legacy chips. Which we in the west forced them to make their own semiconductor industry. 👇 How Close Is China to World Dominance in Legacy Semiconductors? * Bread and Butter Technology Obviously, China would like to be a major player when it comes to high-end sophisticated semiconductor devices, but that doesn’t mean they are not interested in the bread-and-butter end of the market, particularly when it comes to legacy products. In fact, they are very interested in the legacy market, and there are some very good reasons why. Legacy devices make up a huge amount of global chip sales. Most chips manufactured today are not advanced chips but legacy chips, and around 71% of devices currently sold are made using software and production equipment created more than twenty years ago. * The views of industry analysts and observers vary, but generally speaking, it’s thought that 22 wafer fabs are being built in the country, and there is an overall plan to create a total of 30 new wafer fabrication plants. Many of these will concentrate on the production of legacy devices. As for market share, industry intelligence gatherers Trendforce believe China’s legacy chip manufacturing base could provide as much as 30% of the global demand for older devices. EP

@Pvemaster2 false. The company I work for is part of the build and there's zero DEI requirements for building. The only requirements is to pass a background check and have the needed skill set for what you are being hired for. I.e. welders need to actually know how to weld
