We have everything and more in this week’s Protect Europe Podcast (PEP) with Anders Teigland the CEO of TioTech a Norwegian based company who are on a mission to electrify everything by manufacturing titania (titanium dioxide) nanomaterials.

TAKEAWAYS:

  • Tiotech aims to revolutionize battery technology for maritime and defense applications.
  • The company focuses on creating batteries that are durable and safe, capable of withstanding extreme conditions.
  • Electrification in maritime transport is progressing slowly due to various market dynamics.
  • Tiotech’s unique approach involves using titanium as an anode material for better performance.
  • The company is not building its own battery factory but partnering with established manufacturers.
  • Funding is crucial for scaling operations and validating battery technology.
  • The vision includes building factories to produce battery materials at scale.
  • The importance of safety systems in battery design is emphasized, especially for industrial applications.
  • Good enough technology is often sufficient for market needs, rather than striving for perfection.
