24 hours at the edge of Innovation

Batteries are a fundamental part of achieving a circular economy, helping to make renewable energy sources available consistently. Hitachi is engaged in a wide range of activities to create new, powerful, sustainable batteries.

From Hitachi High-Tech Europe’s work to identify the high-quality materials in batteries that can be kept in circulation, to Hitachi Ventures-backed Ascend Element’s creation of a closed loop supply chain that makes recycled materials available to create high performance new batteries, we’re revolutionizing the lithium-ion industry. Our film looks at the endeavour to reduce waste for customers and support the circular economy with recycled batteries. As part of the Earthshot Prize Alliance, we’re backing ideas by innovators in climate change across the world: We visit ROAM in Kenya, where our experience is helping accelerate the Earthshot Prize finalist in their mission to electrify transport in Africa.
