Cadenza Innovation Founder Explores Battery Technology’s Critical Role in the Clean Energy Transition

WILTON, Conn., May 27, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cadenza Innovation, the award-winning lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery technology company, today announced that Founder and CEO Dr. Christina Lampe-Onnerud was the featured speaker in virtual events by leading organizations, including the World Economic Forum, S&P Global Platts and C200. The events showcased the renowned battery expert discussing Li-ion’s instrumental role in driving the clean energy transformation in the fight against climate change.

“In just the past few months, we have experienced dramatic environmental changes as a result of curbing our fossil fuel usage – citizens in India can now see the Himalayas for the first time in decades and satellites have a clearer view of the Earth,” said Dr. Lampe-Onnerud. “The COVID-19 crisis has escalated renewable technology adoption that was already well underway. Now that we are in the midst of exiting the old energy paradigm, collectively, we have an opportunity to re-engage and do something amazing in fostering a more sustainable future.”
