Development has begun in Japan of a marine battery storage vessel that would be charged at sea from offshore wind and then carry the power back to land.

Subsea engineering and floating and offshore renewable energy company G8 will use advanced lithium-ion battery technology produced by 3DOM Singapore (3DOM SG) in all of its renewable energy projects in Asia.

Supply chain shocks are causing short-term rises in the price of lithium-ion battery packs, but overall the price trend is downward and by 2024 average prices could dip below US$100/kWh.

A tiny, coral reef-surrounded island in southern Japan will be able to use renewable energy as its main source of power, thanks to a microgrid with battery storage technology at its heart. 

Two trial projects have been announced where vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) energy storage systems will support electric vehicle (EV) charging solutions, one in South Korea, the other in Australia. 

Canadian Solar subsidiary CSI Solar has signed a strategic cooperation framework agreement with Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Ltd. (CATL) that will focus on energy storage and renewable energy technology.

In this episode of the Solar Media Podcast, we hear the verdict directly from those who were there at COP26.

Long-duration energy storage has a crucial role to play in decarbonising the global energy system sufficiently to avoid catastrophic climate change as long as its value can be unlocked. 

The 2020s are “the energy storage decade,” and the world will surpass a terawatt-hour of installations by the time they are over, according to predictions made by analysts at BloombergNEF.

Sunamp, a Scotland-headquartered manufacturer of a thermal energy storage technology, has just signed an agreement with a distributor to target nearly US$70 million of sales in China and open a factory in the Asian country.
