Sina Orangi
Research
Sina Orangi is currently a Ph.D. candidate under the supervision of Anders Hammer Strømman and Odne Stokke Burheim. His research concentrates on different aspects of lithium-ion batteries at a giga-scale, aiming to develop a comprehensive model for analyzing the techno-economic and environmental dimensions of the lithium-ion battery value chain. This encompasses integrating processes from mineral mining to battery design and production, focusing on providing insights into sustainable and cost-effective battery manufacturing solutions. Additionally, he developed project trends in the medium term (2030) under various scenarios.
In addition to his current research focus, Sina Orangi brings several years of experience in energy systems, sustainability, and process modeling, primarily in the fields of carbon capture and renewable energy.

A Techno-Economic Model for Benchmarking the Production Cost of Lithium-Ion Battery Cells
In this publication, a bottom-up techno-economic model is employed to systematically evaluate and compare the technological and economic facets of lithium-ion battery cells.
Historical and prospective lithium-ion battery cost trajectories from a bottom-up production modeling perspective
Study projects a 43.5%-52.5% cost reduction by the decade's end. Anticipated cost parity with internal combustion engine vehicles by the latter half of this decade hinges on a total installed capacity of 3500-4100 GWh.year−1 across giga-factories.
Trajectories for Lithium‐Ion Battery Cost Production: Can Metal Prices Hamper the Deployment of Lithium‐Ion Batteries?
The study relies on a sophisticated techno-economic model to project lithium-ion battery production costs for 2030.
