DETX™ technology by LOHUM: A leap forward in battery asset management

In the rapidly evolving clean energy sector, one of the most significant challenges is ensuring transparency and traceability in the trade of energy transition assets. LOHUM’s DETX™ technology emerges as a transformative solution in this context, functioning as a dual battery buyback platform and materials exchange specifically designed for lithium-ion batteries.

DETX™ stands out by providing a highly transparent trading environment. This platform tracks current and historic prices of critical metals used in lithium-ion battery production, as well as cell prices across different chemistries. This level of transparency is crucial as it offers market benchmarks and comparisons, enabling stakeholders to navigate the battery trading landscape with clarity and make well-informed decisions.

The platform’s individual battery pricing feature is one of its core components. DETX™ assesses each battery based on a set of parameters including health, cell chemistry, and data derived from battery management systems (BMS). This approach allows for a precise valuation tailored to the specific conditions and characteristics of each battery.

In response to the complexities associated with bulk transactions, DETX™ has developed a portfolio-level dashboard. This feature simplifies the pricing process for collections of batteries by providing aggregated buy-back prices, thereby facilitating smoother and more efficient transactions. Key factors considered in this process include the usage, age, and operational conditions of the batteries.

DETX™ employs advanced testing technologies that eliminate the need for historical data analysis, thus expediting the decision-making process for the recycling and reuse of batteries. This technology ensures rapid and accurate assessments, allowing stakeholders to make quicker and more effective trading decisions.

Additionally, DETX™ promotes collaboration among stakeholders in the battery manufacturing and materials trade industries. By establishing a reliable market standard, the platform ensures that all trades are accurate, verifiable, and beneficial for all parties involved, supporting a sustainable and profitable energy transition.

The launch of DETX™ is expected to significantly impact the clean energy sector by providing a more structured and transparent framework for battery asset trading. This is particularly important as the demand for efficient and sustainable battery solutions continues to grow in light of global energy transition goals.

The platform not only enhances the efficiency and transparency of battery asset trading but also plays a crucial role in promoting sustainability and profitability within the sector. By facilitating better-informed decisions and fostering a cooperative trading environment, DETX™ is positioned to drive significant advancements in the sustainability and efficiency of battery use and recycling.
