For the new project ‘Energy storage for decarbonisation’, the University of Oxford will partner with Fortescue Zero, a global leader in zero emissions solutions and electrifying mining equipment, to develop safer, longer-lasting, and more efficient industrial batteries for vehicles in difficult-to-decarbonise industries. This work will be led by Professor Paul Shearing and Professor David Howey, both of the Department of Engineering Science, University of Oxford.
Heavy-duty industries are vital to the global economy but face major challenges in cutting carbon emissions. There is an urgent need for advanced battery technologies that are safe, long-lasting, and durable enough to withstand tough operating environments.
