How We Will Be Growing Batteries – Wood Battery Explained. The first 100 people to use code UNDECIDED at the link below will get 20% off of Incogni: With the ever-growing demand for electrifying everything, we need more sustainable and renewable batteries. Lithium ion batteries are cost-effective but rely on lithium, graphite, and other materials, whose sourcing has significant environmental and social impacts. One potential solution is being developed where wood is used to replace these materials with a bio-based, renewable alternative. So, would wood work or is it just… deadwood…?

I've got a battery made of wood…
Batteries where lithium is replaced by sodium are already in late stages of development.
Low energy density so probably not cars or phones? Maybe trains if you had an entire section dedicated to batteries. That's a pretty unfortunate limitation. Stationary batteries for homes and to store renewable energy for the grid is still a pretty big use case though.
Hearing about easy charge but low density reminds me of helion. A warehouse to hold half a ev car battery of power or make fusion. Connection to energy zones of the batteries vs size of the cell itself, or, density, seems to have an obvious balance that can give high hold or high motion. Never both. But that’s normal.
"Ligna Energy" is ONE LETTER away From Ligma. Remember that folks.
Someone decided he's had enough with the:
"How much wood could a woodchuck chuck
If a woodchuck could chuck wood?
As much wood as a woodchuck could chuck,
If a woodchuck could chuck wood."
Why not push hemp super capacitors and bio fuel? Is that old news now?
I wonder how much this would have impact on global warming.
What the flip flop? I was just google this an hour age.
this is so f worst so damn worst so we have so much trees or what????.
It's amazing that we can one day make a battery with Ligma.
Will battery printers come on the hobbyist market? It would be awesome if people could buy sheets of lignin-graphite and "iron paper" and put them in their battery printer at home and make batteries for their car/bike/off-grid power storage.
You should talk about hemp-ash batteries.
Where do you get this vapourware from mate
Not sure, organics break down faster.
Also, there's nothing stopping lithium production from capturing all the distilled water they produce either, which could also increase the rate of evaporation as a byproduct. E.G. covering the evaporation fields in glass which holds in both heat and moisture.
Ok, at least at the end he admits that this technology is not going to replace anything. Having 7x's less energy storage capacity greatly limits the things you can get out of this technology. It's innovative and cool for small scale stuff where battery life doesn't matter. But in the long run won't be world changing. That is one of the greatest problems we face… the best technologies today are ruinous for our planet, and while we continue to try to come up with alternatives, in the long run they all fall short of being good enough to beat out traditional dirty power sources. Here's to hoping that someday a clean technology will come along and replace all of this, but probably not in my lifetime.
Sooooo more tree cutting? 🤷♂️
As the President of batteries I can confirm that this technology is real and Matheu has done extraordinarily thorough research into the truth of Tower 7 and why Obama killed my dog for knowing too much about whole wheat battery technology. And no matter what anyone says, Mattnew is not a shill that mindlessly regurgitates company marketing materials at the behest of the PR team. It's all part of a insidious deep stat3 plan that tries to discredit his channel as the scientific and intellectual equivalent of a Michael Bay movie aimed at gullible men children.
Buch did Pearl Harbor. 8==============D~~~~
Next video battery made from poop 💩
This is very exciting having a waste product from making paper turn into a replacement for graphite. I think I'll start investing in paper mills, encourage the company to look forward to lignin production.
Ahhh, thank goodness for the 20%of the population that carries the 80% of the rest of us:)
IF you current anneal the carbon it turns in to graphite and you can turn it to graphene from there.
no fusion battery yet! ..u r a such dreamer!
Merry Christmas and Happy new year to you and your family Matt.
Many thanks for all the informative videos you have entertained us with,

Some guy will definitely will come to Joe Rogan and start to hate the "wastefullness" of this idea 😀 *related to grapeseed oil nonsense
Any time someone points to winning award to try and indicate the viability of a product, just remember the woman who won the furniture design award for creating the “anti-man spreading chair.”
A chair that’s completely unfit for the purpose of being a chair, but still won the award because it expressed “correct“ politics. That’s what most awards are these days.
This might really be something, but the fact that it won an award means less than nothing.
The only constant in our world, is change! We will make it good for our children (hopefully). Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!
Thanks, Merry Christmas and a happy new year
I'm surprised considering how overused lithium has become with it in every single device possible that is for the most part just disposed of that there isn't already a shortage of it.
There's another issue. Firefighters have had a major problem with extinguishing dangerous lithium batty fires in cars. And wouldn't it be much easier to extinguish wood battery fires?
Wood batteries ??? The Amish are gonna love this !!!
Good Job Matt, so fascinating, as always, very thoroughly presented, THANK YOU
Hemp …
the cobalt in 90% of lithium ion batteries is mined by slave labor and reported as industrial mining in the Congo. this project is more important than you think
I like the idea of this. I know this is probably put there but is there a difference in the types of wood they could use. I only say this, being a novice woodworker, that I use specific woods when looking at different builds. Soft woods vs hard woods. Slow growers that produce a lot tighter grain vs a fast grower that shows a greater ring separation. Even when doing Shou Sugi Ban that involves burning or charing the wood, different woods react differently to the char. Again, I'm sure this is a non starter but my thought process is if say poplar ends up being the best wood to use for conductivity, that would be the added bonus of a tree that has an annual growth rate of 10 feet a year. A lot more than a lot of other trees out there making sustainability even greater.
Lignode sounds pretty promising… But did you know that they copied the technology from ligma?
How much work would a wood charge work if a wood charge could charge wood??? A Mill-iwatt Per Gram!
It sounds like a complex energy intensive reason to cut down more trees.
Or get rich convincing people and governments to give you start up money.
Personally I wish countries would ban the use of Li-Ion batteries for use in grid storage. That's the LAST place it needs to be used. Density isn't critical for grid storage. Number of cycles, cost, and conversion efficiency are the most important issues for grid storage, not power density.
Farmer 1: I have a small farm
farmer 2: Oh you're a farmer too?… what do grow?
Farmer 1: Mostly batteries
Finns would start extracting Materials for Atomic Nuclear Plant(s) and they good at Wood in any Sides.
👍
I wonder about how this tech could be combined with the aluminum ion batteries of a previous video
And after all this, Lithium will still be used and will still be produced and thus will still pollute earth and deplete fresh water supplies
1000% guarantee that if this technology goes live, it'll be the best excuse for wood logging companies to keep deforestation going on at a fast pace, and the talks of sustainability is just bullcrap and lies…. it's nice to see our species driving towards self extinction
graffite can be created from carbon capture why arn't we doing that
Ligna Energy? More like Ligna Balls.
Hope this pans out, I'm all for finding viable use for industrial waste.
If it is useful and cost-effective, it will find its niche in the market. And this is good! Even if it never replaces lithium-based batteries, it will help because it can ease the economic and environmental pressures of lithium demand. There may be hundreds of different battery technologies that make it into the market, and they all contribute in their own way to fill a demand that is only getting stronger.
