Green Cubes Technology Announces Membership in CircuBAT Research Program

Green Cubes Technology

Green Cubes Technology, a leader in electrification and Lithium power solutions, today announced its participation as a founding member in CircuBAT. CircuBAT is a Swiss research program that aims to create a Swiss circular business model for the production, application, and recycling of Lithium-ion batteries. Seven Swiss research institutions and 24 companies are joining forces to look for ways to boost sustainability in all stages of a battery’s life cycle. CircuBAT will focus on finding solutions that boost sustainability in all phases of a Lithium-ion battery’s life cycle. This will include extending the lifespan of batteries during their first application. Researchers hope to achieve this by developing optimal charging and discharging strategies as well as new concepts for battery construction that make repairs easy. The project also aims to put batteries to use as stationary energy storage systems after they are retired from their first mobility-related application. To that end, CircuBAT will look at the best ways of integrating these batteries at a local level and ensuring their safe and efficient operation. Finally, the researchers will look for solutions for remanufacturing batteries and recovering materials that enable large quantities of high-quality secondary raw materials to be used to produce new batteries. Bern University of Applied Sciences BFH is the Leading House in the CircuBAT project. On the science side, an additional six Swiss research institutions are involved in the project: Empa, the Swiss Center for Electronics and Microtechnology (CSEM), the University of St. Gallen (HSG), the Eastern Switzerland University of Applied Sciences (OST), the Switzerland Innovation Park Biel / Bienne (SIPBB) and the EPFL (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology). These institutions are joined by 24 companies from economy and industry, among them Kyburz, Leclanché, Bühler and Green Cubes Technology. As a founding member of CircuBAT, Green Cubes Technology has made a multi-year financial investment in the program. The company will also contribute first-use lithium-ion batteries for experimentation and testing within the program, provide engineering design services to develop new more-efficient batteries, and contribute intellectual property to achieve the objectives of CircuBAT. Green Cubes Technology will participate in two working groups. The “First Use” group will focus on extending the life of first-use batteries through extensive analysis of deployed batteries in the field. Green Cubes Technology will contribute performance data collected from its prolific installed base of Lithium-ion batteries. The “Second Life” group will focus on creating second-use and second-life opportunities to minimize the total CO 2 footprint of lithium-ion battery systems during their lifetime. Since its inception 30 years ago, Green Cubes Technology has gained considerable experience minimizing the environmental impact of its deployed batteries. This positive impact will be amplified with a system of second life batteries, where the installed base of first use batteries is redeployed when they reach a certain age limit. The Lithium-ion cells used in Green Cubes Technology’s batteries are non-toxic, and are currently recycled and reprocessed at their end of life. Going forward, these cells can be repurposed into less demanding second life applications such as backup energy storage. “We joined the CircuBAT research program because its mission is very well aligned with ours,” said Keith Washington, CEO of Green Cubes Technology. “We all want the same thing and that is a circular economy for Lithium-ion batteries. We are looking forward to sharing our experience, and giving electric mobility batteries a second life with our Swiss partners in the CircuBAT research program, as they strive to make the Swiss economy as sustainable as possible” More information on the research program can be found on its website: https://circubat.ch. About Green Cubes Technology Green Cubes Technology develops and manufactures safe and reliable electrification solutions that enable its OEM and enterprise customers to transition from Lead Acid and Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) power to Lithium-ion battery power. Green Cubes utilizes proven hardware and software platforms to build the most reliable Lithium power solutions in its industries. With over 300 employees across six countries, Green Cubes has been producing innovative, high-performance and high-quality power solutions since 1986.

UNOS Receives Over $800,000 in Grant to Support Organ Tracking Tech

United Network for Organ Sharing

S.L. Gimbel Foundation, a component fund at the Inland Empire Community Foundation, recently awarded United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) an $836,208 grant to support two innovative tools: the UNOS Organ Tracking Service and the UNOS Travel App. UNOS is the engine that powers the national organ donation and transplantation system. “UNOS continues to harness the power of modern technology and meaningful collaborations to ensure that lifesaving donor organs continue to get where they need to go,” UNOS CEO Brian Shepard said. “Both the tracking service and the travel app are the most recent examples of how we’re working to provide donor families, recipient families, patients and medical professionals with the peace of mind they need, and I am proud that our team continues to develop evidence-based, tech-driven solutions that save even more lives.” "The S.L. Gimbel Foundation Fund is proud to support the important work of UNOS and the innovative tools they're using to help organ donors and recipients across the country," said Celia Cudiamat, SVP of Grants and Community Impact at IECF. "It is a great privilege to disperse these funds on their behalf, knowing their desire to focus on human dignity issues as a priority in their giving." UNOS Organ Tracking Service Developed by UNOS and tested by organ procurement organizations (OPOs) across the country, the service is now in use by 13 of the nation’s 57 OPOs. With this service, OPOs and transplant hospitals know when an organ is in transit, when it arrives at an airport, when the flight departs, and when the organ has arrived at its destination, all in real time. The grant will fund the continued expansion of the tracking service, providing upgraded technology, a suite of advanced notifications including travel predictions, and other improvements. This will provide OPOs with an even more reliable, user-friendly way to track organs in transit. UNOS Travel App Select OPOs began piloting the UNOS Travel App in late 2020. The tool helps OPOs make more informed transportation plans by providing them with a view of all available options, including flight schedules, driving directions, travel times and other useful information. The grant will pave the way for the full deployment of the UNOS Travel App, making it possible to integrate this service into the current organ offer system, assisting both OPOs and transplant hospitals with logistical decisions. This generous grant comes after a year of historic firsts for UNOS and the entire donation and transplant community, including surpassing 41,000 transplants in a single year for the first time in 2021, as well as record-breaking numbers of kidney, heart, and liver transplants. ### About United Network for Organ Sharing United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) is the mission-driven non-profit serving as the nation’s transplant system under contract with the federal government. We lead the network of transplant hospitals, organ procurement organizations, and thousands of volunteers who are dedicated to honoring the gifts of life entrusted to us and to making lifesaving transplants possible for patients in need. Working together, we leverage data and advances in science and technology to continuously strengthen the system, increase the number of organs recovered and the number of transplants performed, and ensure patients across the nation have equitable access to transplant.. About the Inland Empire Community Foundation Founded in 1941, the Inland Empire Community Foundation is the oldest and largest community foundation in Inland Southern California. We partner with individuals, families and corporations to help them achieve their charitable goals. Since inception, we have given out over $124 million in grants and scholarships.

Lawsuit Challenging Nation’s Kidney Allocation Policy Is Dismissed

United Network for Organ Sharing

A lawsuit against United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) challenging the nation’s current kidney allocation policy was dismissed on March 22 when plaintiffs withdrew their challenge, according to the District Court for the Southern District of Iowa. This follows a ruling in November of 2021 when the 8 th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the same plaintiffs were not likely to win on the merits of the case they presented. The kidney policy went into effect in March of last year. “The current kidney allocation policy is the result of respectful debate and discussion that included voices from across the donation and transplantation community,” said UNOS CEO Brian Shepard. “The numbers show that this policy is working as intended, and we thank our many dedicated OPTN volunteers, who donated their time to make our high-performing system even better.” Recent data shows kidney transplants for all populations have increased following the implementation of the policy, including a 22% increase in kidney transplants nationwide. UNOS will continue to monitor key metrics of the policy's performance to ensure that it continues as expected and to identify any areas for further development. “These numbers not only prove that the policy is increasing equity, but that the process that got us here was both effective and fair,” said UNOS Board President Matthew Cooper, M.D. “As we see the policy’s very real impact on the lives of kidney waitlist candidates and recipients, all of the patients, donor families, volunteers and others involved in developing this policy should be proud of what they have accomplished.” About UNOS United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) is a non-profit, charitable organization that serves as the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) under contract with the federal government. The OPTN helps create and define organ allocation and distribution policies that make the best use of donated organs. This process involves continuously evaluating new advances and discoveries so policies can be adapted to best serve patients waiting for transplants. All transplant programs and organ procurement organizations throughout the country are OPTN members and are obligated to follow the policies the OPTN creates for allocating organs.
