Magnesium Batteries Could Establish US Leadership in EV Battery Market
POINT ROBERTS, December 19, 2011 - www.InvestorIdeas.com, a leader in cleantech research and news for investors, reports on new developments in high efficient magnesium batteries.
Magnesium production and demand has nearly doubled in the past 10 years, and now a global need for green vehicle solutions may spike the demand even further.
Hoping to be first to market with a magnesium battery for electric cars, Pellion Technologies, Inc (www.pelliontech.com) is developing low-cost rechargeable Magnesium Batteries with high energy density.
Competing with lithium-ion batteries, magnesium batteries will potentially be cheaper, more efficient and also address a new issue that has come to surface – safety.
According to the Advanced Research Projects Agency at the US Department of Energy site, “Pellion Technologies, an MIT spin-out company, will develop inexpensive high-energy-density rechargeable magnesium-ion batteries with the potential to disrupt current energy storage technologies for electric and hybrid-electric vehicles. To develop a game-changing 33 magnesium-ion battery, Pellion will leverage high throughput computational materials design, coupled with accelerated materials synthesis and electrolyte optimization, to identify new high-energy density magnesium cathode materials and compatible electrolyte chemistries. If successful, this project will develop the first commercial magnesium-ion battery and will establish U.S. technological leadership in this exciting new high energy battery chemistry for electrified vehicle applications.”
With US auto sales improving and global demand and pressure to address climate change with green automotive solutions, magnesium producer China Direct Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ:CDII) , is positioned with a substantial lead in market share of supplying pure magnesium and will be a key player in the green roads of the future.
China Direct Industries Inc, Inc. (NASDAQ:CDII), is a U.S. based company that sources, produces and distributes industrial commodities in China and the Americas and provides business and financial consulting services. Headquartered in Deerfield Beach, Florida with corporate offices in Shanghai, China Direct Industries' unique infrastructure provides a platform to expand business opportunities globally while effectively and efficiently accessing the U.S. capital markets.

Car Charging Group (OTCBB: CCGI); Opportunity and Valuation in the Electric Vehicle Charging Market
Car Charging Group (OTCBB: CCGI); Opportunity and Valuation in the Electric Vehicle Charging Market
POINT ROBERTS, December 14, 2011 - www.InvestorIdeas.com, a leader in cleantech research and news for independent investors, publishes the following CFA commentary on Car Charging Group, Inc. (OTCBB: CCGI). The report, Opportunity and Valuation in the Electric Vehicle Charging Market, was issued by Patrick J. Murphy, Murphy Analytics LLC, a provider of sponsored research coverage on small cap stocks.
Opportunity and Valuation in the Electric Vehicle Charging Market
Car Charging Group, Inc. (OTCBB: CCGI), headquartered in Miami, Florida, is one of the nation's fastest growing providers of Electric Vehicle (EV) charging services. The Company’s ultimate mission is to establish a nationwide infrastructure, enabling EV and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) owners to charge their EVs anytime, anywhere in North America and ultimately Europe and Asia. The CCGI strategy is to be a "first in" strategic partner with businesses, municipalities, shopping malls, parking garages, multi-family residential and commercial properties, and others who are expected to have high numbers of EVs at their locations. Since launching operations in 2009, CCGI has developed contractual relationships with 29 leading partners that own more than 6.4 million parking spots. In addition to working with private enterprise, CCGI also pursues public sector opportunities. As an example, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection[i] announced 12/14/11 that that CCGI has been awarded a $1 million grant to help develop electric vehicle infrastructure by installing charging stations at 17 Turnpike service plazas.
In an attempt to understand the magnitude of the potential demand load increase, and to prepare for the impact the EV market growth may have on the electric grid, the ISO/RTC Council commissioned a study , “Assessment of Plug-in Electric Vehicle Integration with ISO/RTO Systems,” in which it was estimated that 1 million to 2.5 million EV’s may be on North American roads by 2015 – 2020. The following graphic illustrates the reports conclusion that the “slow” growth scenario is likely to result in 1 million EV by 2020:
For the period from 2017 – 2030, the study finds that: “This period is considered as the beginning of the mass-market...New technologies, advanced features, and new charging capabilities likely will be available. Third-generation PEVs are likely to begin appearing on the market. Most importantly, the vehicles will likely have appeal to mainstream automotive customers and become mass market products.”
With an estimated 842 vehicles per 1,000 citizens in the U.S. alone and the developing world’s per capita vehicle ownership ratios still exponentially below those of the U.S., the potential market opportunity for EV’s and the charging of EV’s is challenging to quantify but not difficult to characterize as very large.
Based on the recent capital raise by EV charging system operator Better Place, it seems clear that investors such as GE, UBS, HSBC and Morgan Stanley have concluded that the opportunity is indeed significant for the right operator. Announced November 11, 2011, Better Place recently completed a $200 million financing that valued the company at $2.25 billion on a post money / fully diluted basis. Better Place also reported that the Company has raised $750 million since its founding in 2007.
The Better Place solution is a model in which batteries are switched out rather than re-charged in the vehicle. According to its corporate description, Better Place “owns and operates a network of battery switch stations and public/personal charge spots, along with the supply of batteries that power the cars, to provide drivers with instant range extension and the convenience to drive, switch and go across an entire region.” Better Place also reported that the financing proceeds would be used to expand operations into Western Europe and that other deployments are in progress in two U.S. states and several other countries.
As a private company, Better Place has no obligation to disclose detailed operational and financial data, so it is challenging to analyze its valuation relative to publicly traded companies such as Car Charging Group (OTCBB: CCGI), which as noted previously, has reported that its partner relationships provide access to 6.4 million parking spots, while CCGI's recent market capitalization was under $65 million.. There are publicly traded companies such as iGo, Inc. (NASDAQ: IGOI) and ZAGG Inc. (NASDAQ: ZAGG) whose operations have some degree of comparability to those of Car Charging Group (OTCBB: CCGI). However, like some of the electronics industry titans with some manner of presence in the sector, Car Charging Group’s (OTCBB: CCGI) comparables generally have operations that also include products and markets other than EV charging systems.
Regardless of the valuation methodology, given the level at which Better Place recently was valued by a group of sophisticated investors, it seems clear that the market is concluding that there is an opportunity to thrive in the car charging sector. Companies with strong systems, management teams, relationships and competitive positions may be worth a closer look for investors interested in finding a way to take advantage of what seems to be a rapidly expanding EV charging market.

Solar Stock Alert; Magnolia Solar (OTCBB: MGLT) Receives $750,000 Phase II Award from US Air Force Research Laboratory
Award Will Fund a Two-Year Program for Flexible, High-Efficiency Solar Cells
WOBURN, MA and ALBANY, NY – Investorideas.com Renewable Energy Newswire -November 30 , 2011 -- Magnolia Solar Corporation (OTCBB: MGLT) (“Magnolia”) announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary, Magnolia Solar, Inc., recently received a $750,000 Phase II award from the United States Air Force Research Laboratory as part of the Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) program. The award will fund a two-year project to develop flexible, lightweight, ultra-high efficiency multi-junction solar cells for space power applications.

Recently Magnolia announced demonstration of several significant milestones and this award provides a pathway to support its ultimate goal of developing low-cost, high-efficiency, thin-film solar cells for commercial and defense requirements.
Dr. Ashok K. Sood, President and CEO of Magnolia Solar Corporation, stated, “Photovoltaic devices can provide a mobile source of electrical power for a variety of military applications in space and terrestrial environments. Many of these applications can directly benefit from enhancements in the efficiency of the photovoltaic devices. In particular, flexible, lightweight, high-efficiency solar cells are needed to maximize the power-generating capability of space, ground-based, and air-based defense applications. The patent-pending technology developed during this program is expected to have immediate market opportunities for defense applications. We look forward to continuing our partnerships with MicroLink Devices and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute during this Phase II program.”
Dr. Roger E. Welser, Magnolia’s Chief Technical Officer, observed, “Current approaches to increase the efficiency of multi-junction structures typically used for space power generation are reaching practical limitations due to fundamental constraints in conventional multi-junction device design. By combining wide and narrow bandgap material within each p-n junction, quantum-structured solar cells can overcome these constraints and increase the current and the voltage output of each subcell within a multi-junction solar cell. The Phase I effort leveraged the epitaxial liftoff process developed at MicroLink Devices in Niles, IL, and has demonstrated the validity of Magnolia’s extended heterojunction photovoltaic device concept. Ultimately our approach provides a pathway for obtaining thin, flexible, multi-junction solar cells with efficiency approaching 40%.”

How China Direct Industries (NASDAQ:CDII) Plays Key Role in Green Metal of the 21st Century
What’s Driving Magnesium Markets of the Future? Lighter Cars and Magnesium Batteries on the Roads of the Future
How China Direct Industries (NASDAQ:CDII) Plays Key Role in Green Metal of the 21st Century
POINT ROBERTS, November 30, 2011 - www.InvestorIdeas.com, a global investor research portal for independent investors, reports on the future demands for magnesium with the green auto sector and how magnesium producer China Direct Industries Inc, (NASDAQ:CDII) plays a key role with the “ green metal of the 21st Century”.
China currently controls 80- 85 percent of the global magnesium market and China Direct Industries Inc, (NASDAQ:CDII) is one of the largest suppliers of pure magnesium in the world.
Recent short term global demand is down due to concerns over the debt crisis in the eurozone but domestic demand in China remains strong. Global demand can turn again as economies stabilize and new uses and applications also drive the overall market for magnesium.
According to a recent Forbes article “Fuel economy mandates will spur the development of lighter cars with materials like aluminum, magnesium and composites. EVs and hybrid vehicles will use materials such as lithium and rare earth metals like neodymium and lanthanum.”
But that may be changing as well and magnesium may be added to the mix in the battery market.
Pellion Technologies, funded by Khosla Ventures, is launching the world's first commercial magnesium battery. Pellion is developing a rechargeable magnesium-ion battery for electric and hybrid-electric vehicle applications
China Direct Industries Inc, (NASDAQ:CDII) is currently expanding the magnesium segment of it business, focusing operations on the management of facilities previously owned or controlled by Yulee Huang, a member of China Direct Industries’ board of directors and its executive vice president - magnesium.
“We currently operate four magnesium facilities in China within our Magnesium segment that produce and/or distribute magnesium products such as pure magnesium ingots, magnesium powders, granules and alloys. The current annual production capacity within our Magnesium segment is approximately 50,000 metric tons of pure magnesium ingots and 10,000 metric tons of magnesium powder. Our goal is to consolidate the fragmented industry and emerge as a global leader in the production and distribution of pure magnesium and magnesium related products.”
Benefits of Magnesium;
Stronger and lighter than steel and aluminum
33% lighter than aluminum, 60% lighter than titanium, and 75%
lighter than steel
*Magnesium is known as the green metal of the 21st century
Auto Industry and Magnesium;

Automakers are looking to magnesium to reduce the weight of the
vehicle, increase MPG and reduce CO2; a 10% reduction in vehicle
weight leads to an estimated 6-8% savings in fuel consumption
Worldwide motor vehicle production at a rate of 77.6 million vehicles
