Earth Day 2021 – Restore Our Earth™

Together, We Have The Power To Restore Our Earth.

With the arrival of this Earth Day 2021, we recognize that the key to a healthy future for our planet may lie with better batteries.

EARTHDAY.ORG’s theme for Earth Day 2021 is Restore Our Earth™, which focuses on natural processes, emerging green technologies, and innovative thinking that can restore the world’s ecosystems. In this way, the theme rejects the notion that mitigation or adaptation are the only ways to address climate change. It is up to each and every one of us to Restore Our Earth not just because we care about the natural world, but because we live on it. We all need a healthy Earth to support our jobs, livelihoods, health & survival, and happiness. A healthy planet is not an option — it is a necessity.

On January 27, 2021, incoming President Biden signed an executive order reaffirming that the United States will host the Leaders’ Climate Summit on April 22, 2021.

2021 is indeed a critical year for addressing climate change, with several international conferences taking place this year in addition to this festival, including the Fifth United Nations Environment Assembly (February 22-23), the 15th Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (May 17-30), and the 26th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (November 1-12). Climate issues have always been important, but never more critical than now.

Green technologies make ecological restoration possible

Over the past few decades, there has been a growing understanding of environmental processes and a growing awareness of man-made climate change and its dangerous consequences for future generations. Today, a major cause of rising global temperatures is the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide, which is produced primarily by the combustion of fossil energy carriers used for energy and transportation purposes.

To curb greenhouse gas emissions and stabilize average global temperatures, almost the entire international community made a more or less mandatory commitment in 2015 to achieve a full transition to clean energy production and use, including the use of renewable energy sources, such as solar or wind power, and emission-free transportation. Both energy sources rely on suitable energy conversion and storage technologies due to intermittent energy production from renewable sources, or due to the need for clean transportation.

Electrochemical energy storage in the form of rechargeable batteries represents the most efficient solution for a variety of applications including mobile and stationary energy storage systems.The commercialization of lithium-ion battery (LIB) technology (referring to Sony) in 1991 set a new milestone in the history of energy storage and stimulated the continued development of LIB materials to achieve higher energy content, increased electrochemical stability, and lower costs.

Today, LIBs are used not only in portable consumer electronics (cell phones, laptops, tablets, etc.) but have become the most suitable technology for all types of electric vehicles (hybrid, plug-in hybrid, or fully battery-powered), stationary energy storage, and other electrically powered devices such as power tools or drones. It currently represents the fastest growth rate in the battery market, boosting investment in rechargeable batteries (also beyond LIBs) and their applications.

Options affecting carbon footprint

As more and more situations in our lives transition to electrical energy use, the need to store energy is driving the growing demand for efficient batteries. How we select reliable batteries and trusted battery suppliers, or design smart energy storage solutions for entire communities and businesses, will impact our carbon footprint for the next decade.

BSLBATT is committed to sustainability and green development as a new energy company that continues to contribute to the health of the planet. Our energy storage experts work with utilities, project developers, communities and regulators to identify, evaluate, test and certify systems that integrate seamlessly with today’s grid while planning for the future.

Through our worldwide customer experience and expertise, we have created an industry-leading portfolio of analysis and experience that gives us a unique advantage in finding energy storage solutions. We provide support throughout the energy storage value chain, including feasibility, testing, development and engineering, construction and operations.
