Critical Resources has extended its battery technology evaluation program with a thermal management evaluation license from NTU Singapore. This license covers intellectual property related to the thermal management of lithium-ion batteries and data center cooling infrastructure. The evaluation program looks at thermal management for processors, graphics chips, and lithium-ion batteries, aiming to operate in elevated-temperature environments without the need for refrigeration chillers. The company's solid-state battery evaluation program is directly linked to lithium supply chain insights and downstream battery development.

The thermal management technologies involve a two-phase spray cooling approach, enhancing efficiency in heat removal from electronic components and battery systems. The system significantly reduces energy consumption and enhances cooling efficiency. The company plans a structured evaluation of the technology portfolio through a potential Research Collaboration Agreement with NTU. The announcement also provides details of transaction terms and shares insights from the NTU research team on the innovation.
