About:Energy is pleased to announce a notable licensing agreement with the Universities of Portsmouth and Southampton, representing a significant milestone in the advancement of clean energy technology. This collaboration will primarily focus on the development of the universities’ proprietary technology, DandeLiion, an advanced ultra-fast system designed to streamline and improve the accuracy of modelling advanced electrochemical battery systems.
By integrating DandeLiion technology with its own software platform, The Voltt, About:Energy aims to not only reduce the cost and timeline associated with battery development, but also improve battery management in the field to extend their lifespan. The start-up, which originated from Imperial College London and the University of Birmingham, intends to integrate DandeLiion into its software for the global market early next year, paving the way for significant advancements in the renewable energy sector.
Improving the mathematics used in battery models will enable the wider application of more advanced electrochemical models, crucial in cell design and in shortening charging times. These models offer essential insights into the physical processes within a cell, ultimately leading to improved performance and efficiency.
Neil Morris, Chairman and Co-Founder of About:Energy, underscored the importance of translating research excellence into tangible industry impacts, stating, “The UK is renowned for its research excellence, but there’s a crucial need to translate this into tangible industry impacts. We’ve been collaborating closely with leading academic institutions like Southampton and Portsmouth to bridge this gap, ensuring that UK grant funding is not just an investment in research, but a catalyst for real-world innovation and economic growth.”
About:Energy’s commitment to identifying and commercialising cutting-edge research from universities highlights its role in delivering innovative academic discoveries to the forefront of industry applications. With this latest announcement, About:Energy now formally licenses technology from five universities, including Cranfield University, Imperial College London, and the University of Birmingham, further solidifying its position as a leader in the integration of academic research with practical industry solutions.
Dr. Giles Richardson, Project Manager of DandeLiion, expressed his excitement about the partnership, stating, “We are delighted to partner with About:Energy to bring DandeLiion to market. This breakthrough in battery modelling enables faster, more accurate simulations and wider application in cloud and embedded systems. By integrating DandeLiion into their platform, About:Energy is unlocking unprecedented progress in energy storage and management across automotive and renewables. We are proud our research will now translate into real-world impacts, supporting electrification and a sustainable future.”
The development of DandeLiion was made possible through the dedication of researchers Prof. Giles Richardson, Dr. Jamie Foster, Dr. Ivan Korotkin, and Dr. Smita Sahu, who received funding from The Faraday Institution amounting to £2 million over five years. Their pioneering work has paved the way for significant advancements in battery technology, positioning the UK as a key player in the global renewable energy landscape.
