BAAR, Switzerland 12.01.2022. Blackstone Resources AG (SWX; symbol BLS, ISIN CH0460027110) is pleased to announce that we have been nominated for the Green Product Award 2022 with our 3D-printed battery cells from environmentally friendly manufacturing. 1500 participants from 54 countries applied and have now been reviewed, pre-selected and finally nominated under the aspects of design, innovation and sustainability. “We are delighted that our 3D-printed lithium batteries have now cleared one of the final hurdles at the high-profile and ecologically valuable Green Product Award 2022 in the mobility category,” said Ulrich Ernst, CEO of Blackstone.
With 3D-printed lithium cells, Blackstone Technology GmbH (100% subsidiary of Blackstone Resources AG) produces climate-friendly and clean batteries for a sustainable change in transportation. “With Blackstone Thick Layer Technology ©, we have developed a groundbreaking technology in-house, with which we produce reliable, high-performance battery-cells with an optimal cost-benefit ratio and particularly low environmental impact in the heart of Europe,” says CEO Ernst.
Technical and ecological lead convinced initiators
This world first in the manufacturing segment allows for a significantly higher energy density of +20%, thus promising more range in electromobility, and relies on a water-based manufacturing process: the consumption of critical raw materials and chemicals is thus sustainably avoided or reduced. The manufacturing costs are also considerably lower with 3D printing compared to currently widespread production methods for lithium-ion batteries. These arguments have now also convinced the initiators of the Green Product Award.
The organisers of the annual international competition for innovative, sustainable products and services were impressed: “The nominated entry ‘3D-printed lithium batteries’ shows how a mix of sustainability, design and innovation can reconcile a good lifestyle with a more sustainable future,” says Nils Bader, director of the Green Future Club and initiator of the Green Product Award.
On May 18th., the Green Product Award ceremony will take place in Munich’s ARRI cinema, it is one of the top events of the Munich Creative Business Week. In addition to the winners, the first collaborations between the participants will be announced then, organised by the Green Future Club.
