Skeleton Technologies, a leading producer of energy storage solutions, has announced the launch of a new supercapacitor battery designed for heavy duty applications such as mining. The new product, which is available in both standard and custom sizes, is a key component of the company's strategy to electrify the mining industry and reduce its environmental impact.

The launch of the new product comes as Skeleton Technologies joins the Electrify Mining coalition, a group of companies committed to promoting the use of clean energy in the mining sector. The coalition, which includes major players such as BHP, Rio Tinto, and Glencore, is working to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles and other clean technologies in the mining industry.

Skeleton Technologies' new supercapacitor battery is based on the company's unique curved graphene technology, which allows for extremely high power and energy density. The battery is also designed for high temperature operation, making it ideal for use in the harsh conditions found in many mines.

"Mining is a critical sector of the economy, and its transition to clean energy is essential for achieving our climate change goals," said TaaviMadiberk, CEO of Skeleton Technologies. "Our new supercapacitor battery is a key part of our strategy to electrify the mining industry, and we are proud to be working with the Electrify Mining coalition to accelerate this transition."

The launch of the new battery is just the latest example of Skeleton Technologies' commitment to clean energy. The company is also a leading producer of ultracapacitors, which are used in a wide range of applications including wind and solar power, electric vehicles, and grid storage.

"Our mission is to enable the transition to a clean energy future, and that means working with our customers to electrify the most energy-intensive industries," said Madiberk. "Mining is a perfect example of an industry that can make a big difference by transitioning to clean energy."

The launch of the new battery comes as the mining industry is under increasing pressure to reduce its environmental impact. A recent report from the United Nations found that the mining sector is responsible for up to 7% of global greenhouse gas emissions, and that number is expected to rise as demand for minerals and metals grows.

The transition to clean energy is also being driven by the need to cut costs. Electric vehicles are already cheaper to operate than diesel vehicles, and the cost of batteries is expected to continue to decline.

"The mining industry is under pressure to reduce its environmental impact, and our new battery is a key part of our strategy to help them meet those goals," said Madiberk. "In addition to being cleaner and more efficient, our battery is also more cost-effective, which makes it a win-win for the industry."
