This week on Innovation Frontlines we speak to a serial innovator in the area of advanced materials for energy storage and mobility. In two decades, under the current pathway, India’s total vehicle stock could more than double, with cars and trucks increasing their share to about 45% of the vehicle stock and carbon dioxide emissions doubling by 2040 if we don’t change energy source. On a net zero by 2070 pathway, about 20% of India’s road vehicle stock will have to be electric by 2030. Akshay Singhal is founder and CEO of Log9 Materials, which has been applying its expertise in graphene to trial an audacious fuel cell system for road transport using electricity and aluminium, and also a way to fast charge more conventional battery packs. Akshay tells us how they identified the importance of tackling range and charging times for electric vehicle users and how they have built batteries, cars, 3-wheelers and chargers, all since being founded in 2015. This conversation was recorded in December 2021. Since then, Log9 has set up a new battery manufacturing facility and won Best Energy Start-up at the Economic Times Energy Leadership Awards.
