Sustainable battery power for transport applications

Achieving significant reductions in global CO₂ emissions from transportation is the single largest challenge in achieving Net Zero. Transport has the highest reliance on fossil fuels of any sector, accounting for 37% of CO₂ emissions from end-use sectors. Global emissions from all forms of transport totalled 7.2Gt in 2020, with passenger vehicles accounting for half of that.¹

Increased adoption of sustainable road transport meant sales of electric vehicles doubled in 2021, but the annual proportion of total car sales remains around 10%. Despite the rapid growth, barriers to mass adoption remain, especially vehicle price premiums, lack of journey range, and long charging times.

Impacting these factors is imperative in the pursuit of carbon Net Zero.

The unique battery technologies developed by UBC represent a significant opportunity for enhanced transport sustainability in the drive towards Net Zero:

• UBC Duophasic COR modular SLI batteries reduce on-board vehicle weight, and reduce CO₂ by up to 15kg (33lbs) per vehicle per annum. UBC modular batteries will make any vehicle greener.
• UBC has also utilised its patented Duophasic technology to develop a revolutionary new EV motive battery, UBC MotoFLO. This game-changing development will significantly boost range and reduce charging time to minutes, using existing fuel station and charging infrastructure.

UBC Duophasic technologies also offer cost and sustainability benefits to other modes of transport, including aerospace, rail, marine, and military vehicles.
