Zinc batteries in view with plans for plant (bangkokpost.com)Zinc batteries in view with plans for plant
Pilot facility to be established in EECi

Thailand looks set to construct a zinc-ion battery plant to support electric vehicles (EVs) and utilise its own domestic resources.
According to Janekrishna Kanatharana, executive director of the Eastern Economic Corridor of Innovation (EECi) and vice-president of the National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA), Thailand intends to develop its own technology for a zinc-ion battery.
"Thailand has a rich reserve of zinc," said Mr Janekrishna. "It is considered more appropriate for Thailand to manufacture and promote zinc-ion battery production than lithium, which we have to import."
According to Mr Janekrishna, the government has agreed to this development plan and offered a 192-million-baht budget this year. NSTDA will use the funding to build the infrastructure for a pilot battery plant at EECi with a capacity of one megawatt per hour.
