A FUTURE MADE OF PROTEIN BATTERIES IS 100% POSSIBLE
Currently, more than 15 million tons of lithium are produced every year and a significant part is used to manufacture batteries, which represents a great environmental challenge.

Did you know that in the future we will be able to fertilize our garden with remote control batteries? Yes, a future with biodegradable batteries is 100% possible.
Currently, more than 15 million tons of lithium are produced every year and a significant part is used to manufacture batteries, which represents a great environmental challenge.
What options does science give us to face it? Last year, researchers from the University of Texas published a paper in Nature (https://t.ly/a-vU) , where they demonstrated that they were able to build a battery made of protein, free of metals and that can be biodegradable.
Specifically, this means that we may soon be able to replace today’s lithium batteries with bio-based ones, which can then be planted in the garden and used as fertilizer once they stop working.
The solution to many of today’s world problems may lie in science. That’s why at Zentynel Frontier Investments we seek out and invest in companies that operate at the intersection of science and business.
